Privacy Policy – eq668 Pakistan Online Gaming Platform

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to eq668, an online gaming platform operating at eq668.click and serving members in Pakistan. When this policy refers to "eq668", "we", "us", or "our", it means the operator responsible for the platform and all associated data processing activities.

eq668 acts as the data controller for all personal data collected from members and visitors to the platform. As data controller, we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal information and are responsible for ensuring it is handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently in line with applicable data protection standards.

By registering an account or using any service on eq668, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. This policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which together govern your relationship with the eq668 platform.

2. What Personal Data eq668 Collects

eq668 collects different categories of personal data depending on how you interact with our platform. Below is a clear breakdown of what we collect and why each category is needed.

2.1 Registration & Identity Data

When you create an account at eq668, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, Pakistani mobile number or email address, and login credentials. This information is required to create and maintain your account, verify your age, and communicate with you about your account activity.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations and verify the identity of members who make withdrawals, eq668 may request copies of your Pakistani CNIC, passport, or other government-issued identity document, along with proof of address and proof of payment method. KYC data is collected only when required and is handled with heightened security measures.

2.3 Financial & Transaction Data

eq668 records all deposits, withdrawals, bets, and winnings associated with your account. This includes transaction amounts in PKR, payment method references (such as Easypaisa or JazzCash wallet identifiers), and transaction timestamps. Full card numbers are never stored by eq668 – payment card data is processed directly by our certified payment service providers.

2.4 Gaming Activity Data

We record your gaming history on eq668 including which games you played, bet amounts, session durations, and outcomes. This data is used for account management, responsible gaming monitoring, dispute resolution, and platform improvement.

2.5 Technical & Device Data

eq668 automatically collects certain technical information when you access the platform, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and platform performance optimisation.

2.6 Communications Data

When you contact eq668 support via live chat or email, we retain records of that correspondence including your messages, the support agent's responses, and any files shared. This is necessary for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and training purposes.

3. How eq668 Collects Your Data

4. Why eq668 Uses Your Personal Data

eq668 uses your personal data for the following specific purposes – nothing else:

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your eq668 account, processing logins, and enabling platform access.

• Game delivery: Providing the live casino, esports betting, virtual sports, poker, fishing games, Andar Bahar, Baccarat, and all other eq668 products to your device.
• Fraud and security monitoring: Detecting and investigating suspicious account activity, preventing multiple account abuse, and protecting both our platform and our members from financial crime.
• Responsible gaming: Monitoring gaming patterns to identify potential problem gambling behaviours and delivering relevant responsible gaming tools and communications as required.
• Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and managing your service requests across all eq668 support channels.
• Legal and regulatory compliance: Fulfilling obligations under applicable gaming licence conditions, anti-money-laundering regulations, tax reporting requirements, and any lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
• Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to understand how members use eq668 and to prioritise improvements to the platform experience.

• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with our gaming licence conditions, AML regulations, age verification requirements, and any other applicable legal obligations.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform improvement where these interests do not override your privacy rights.

6.1 Payment Service Providers

To process your deposits and withdrawals in PKR, eq668 shares transaction details with our authorised payment partners including Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT processing banks, and Visa/Mastercard acquiring banks. These partners are contractually bound to use your data only for transaction processing and to maintain appropriate security standards.

Where eq668 integrates live casino or other game content from third-party providers, the minimum necessary session and account data is shared to enable game delivery. These providers do not receive your full personal profile and are bound by data processing agreements with eq668.

6.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

eq668 is legally required to share information with our licensing authority, financial regulators, tax authorities, and law enforcement agencies when we receive valid legal requests. We review all such requests carefully and only comply when legally obligated to do so.

7. How eq668 Keeps Your Data Secure

Data security is not a box-ticking exercise at eq668. We maintain a layered security approach to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

7.1 Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and eq668 is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. This means that even if data in transit were intercepted, it would be unreadable to any third party. Sensitive data stored in our systems – including KYC documents and financial records – is encrypted at rest.

7.2 Access Controls

Access to personal data within eq668 is restricted to staff members who need it to perform their specific role. All staff access to member data is logged, and access privileges are reviewed regularly. Former employees have all access revoked on their last working day.

7.3 Technical Safeguards

eq668 operates firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and continuous security monitoring across our server infrastructure. We conduct regular security testing and vulnerability assessments. Any identified vulnerability is treated as a priority and remediated promptly.

7.4 Breach Response

In the event of a data security breach that poses a risk to your personal data, eq668 will notify affected members and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by applicable regulations. We will provide clear information about what happened, what data was affected, and what steps we are taking.

8. How Long eq668 Retains Your Data

eq668 retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any legal requirements that mandate longer retention periods.

• Account data: Retained for the duration of your active membership and for a period of 5 years following account closure, to satisfy legal and regulatory obligations.
• KYC documents: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of collection as required by applicable AML regulations. Copies are deleted when the retention period expires.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction for financial record-keeping and regulatory compliance purposes.
• Gaming activity logs: Retained for 2 years for dispute resolution purposes, and in anonymised/aggregated form indefinitely for platform analytics.
• Support correspondence: Retained for 2 years following resolution of the relevant query or complaint.
• Marketing opt-in records: Retained for the duration of your account membership as proof of consent. Deleted within 30 days of account closure if no legal retention obligation applies.

When personal data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

eq668 uses cookies and similar technologies to operate certain platform functions, improve your experience, and gather anonymised usage data. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website.

9.1 Types of Cookies eq668 Uses

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These manage your login session, maintain your preferences, and enable core features like game loading and payment processing. They cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how members navigate eq668 – which pages are visited most, where members drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is collected in aggregated, anonymised form and is used purely to improve the platform. eq668 does not share analytics data with advertising networks.
• Security cookies: Used to detect fraud, identify suspicious login patterns, and protect accounts from unauthorised access attempts.
• Preference cookies: Store your language preference and other settings so you don't have to re-enter them on each visit.

9.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies will prevent eq668 from functioning correctly, particularly for login sessions and game access. If you want to use eq668 normally, essential cookies must be permitted. Analytics and preference cookies can be disabled without affecting core functionality.

eq668 does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies. Your browsing activity on eq668 is not shared with advertising networks or social media platforms.

10. Your Privacy Rights

As a member of eq668, you have a number of rights over your personal data. These rights are meaningful – eq668 takes them seriously and will respond to requests within 30 days.

11. Children's Privacy

eq668 operates a strict 18+ policy. Our platform is not directed at, and should not be used by, any person under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

If eq668 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 18 years of age, we will immediately close that account, delete all associated personal data, and report the matter if required by applicable regulations. Any balance held in an underage account will be handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and relevant legal requirements.

If you believe a person under 18 has registered on eq668, please contact us immediately at support@eq668.click. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and will act on such reports without delay.

12. Third-Party Links

The eq668 platform may contain references to third-party services such as payment processors. If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, you will be leaving eq668 and that site's own privacy policy will govern how your data is handled – not this policy.

eq668 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit. Our payment partners – Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, and card processing networks – each maintain their own separate privacy policies governing data collected through their own interfaces.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

eq668 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform services. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes that significantly affect how we handle your personal data, eq668 will notify registered members via their registered email address or mobile number at least 7 days before the change takes effect. For minor updates such as clarifications or formatting changes, the updated policy will simply be published on this page.

Continued use of eq668 after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with a material change, you may request account closure before the effective date of the change. We recommend bookmarking this page and checking it periodically.
