j33bet Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

1. Introduction

j33bet ("we," "our," "us") operates an online casino and sports betting platform serving players primarily in Pakistan. This Privacy Policy describes our practices with respect to personal information collected from users of the j33bet website, mobile platform, and all associated services including cricket betting, live casino via Astar Live, slot games, jackpot games including Ocean King, account management, and payment processing.

We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection standards.

5. KYC & Identity Data

5.1 KYC data collected by j33bet – including CNIC copies, selfies, and associated identity verification records – is processed exclusively for the purposes of: (a) confirming the identity and age of the account holder; (b) complying with anti-money laundering obligations; and (c) protecting the account against unauthorised access and withdrawal fraud.

j33bet processes payment transactions via integrated payment service providers including JazzCash, Easypaisa, and bank transfer gateways. Payment card data processed on j33bet is handled in accordance with applicable payment security standards. j33bet does not store full payment card numbers on its own servers.

JazzCash and Easypaisa wallet numbers associated with your j33bet account are retained for transaction reconciliation purposes and to facilitate your future withdrawal requests. This data is encrypted at rest and in transit and is not shared with third parties except as required to process your transaction.

9. Data Security

j33bet employs a layered security architecture to protect personal data:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and j33bet servers.
• Encrypted data storage for all sensitive fields including passwords (bcrypt hashed), CNIC numbers, and payment identifiers.
• Access controls limiting personal data access to authorised j33bet personnel with a demonstrable business need.
• Two-factor authentication available for all player accounts to protect the j33bet login process.
• Regular security assessments including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing of the j33bet platform.

Despite these measures, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, j33bet will notify affected players as required by applicable law and take all reasonable remediation steps promptly.

10. Data Retention

j33bet retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or for such longer period as is required by applicable law:

• Account registration and gaming data is retained for the duration of the account and for a period of five years following account closure, to satisfy audit and anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
• KYC documents (CNIC copies, selfies) are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
• Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years in line with financial record-keeping requirements.
• Support communications are retained for three years from the date of the last interaction.

Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual.

Material changes will be communicated to registered players via the mobile number or email on record, or via a prominent notice on the j33bet platform. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of j33bet following notification of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
