Privacy Policy – How sp718 Collects, Uses and Protects Your Data

1. Who We Are

sp718 is an online sports betting and casino platform operating at https://sp718.biz, serving players in Pakistan. When this Privacy Policy refers to "sp718," "we," "us," or "our," it means the sp718 platform and its operating entity. sp718 acts as the data controller for all personal data collected through the platform — meaning we are responsible for deciding how and why your data is used, and for ensuring it is handled appropriately.

If you have any questions about how sp718 handles your personal information, the primary contact is the sp718 data team, reachable at support@sp718.biz. We take privacy enquiries seriously and aim to respond within 5 business days.

2. Data We Collect

sp718 collects personal data in several categories. The table below sets out what is collected, why, and on what legal basis.

sp718 does not collect sensitive personal data such as religious beliefs, political opinions, or biometric data beyond what is required for standard identity verification.

3. How We Collect Your Data

sp718 collects personal data through the following channels:

• Directly from you: When you register an account, complete identity verification, make a deposit, contact support, or interact with any sp718 form or feature that requires you to enter information.
• Automatically through technology: When you visit sp718, our servers log your IP address, device details, browser type, and session activity. This happens automatically as part of normal web server operation and is used for security and fraud prevention purposes.
• From payment processors: When you make a deposit or withdrawal via Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, or other supported methods, the payment processor confirms transaction status to sp718. sp718 receives only the information needed to credit or debit your balance — full payment credentials are not passed to sp718.
• From game providers: Game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Spribe, and Microgaming share session and result data with sp718 for the purpose of crediting winnings to your account and resolving any game disputes.
• From identity verification services: Where sp718 uses a third-party KYC provider to verify your identity documents, that provider shares the verification result (pass or fail) and the relevant document data with sp718.

4. Why We Use Your Data

sp718 uses your personal data for the following purposes, each of which is necessary to operate the platform properly for Pakistani players:

• Account management: Creating your account, maintaining your balance, and providing access to platform features.
• Identity and age verification: Confirming that all players are at least 18 years old and are who they say they are, in line with responsible gaming obligations.
• Payment processing: Accepting deposits and processing withdrawal requests to your registered PKR payment methods.
• Fraud prevention and security: Detecting unusual patterns that may indicate account sharing, bonus abuse, money laundering, or unauthorised access attempts.
• Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and providing assistance with account issues.
• Responsible gaming: Monitoring gaming patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and enabling the use of responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion.
• Legal compliance: Meeting anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations, retaining financial records as required, and responding to legitimate regulatory requests.
• Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the sp718 website, game selection, and user experience.
• Marketing communications: Sending promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform news to players who have opted in. Marketing communications can be opted out of at any time.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

sp718 shares your personal data only with parties that have a genuine operational need to receive it. The categories of recipients are:

5.1 Payment Processors

Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, and card network processors receive the minimum personal and transactional data necessary to execute your deposit or withdrawal. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and security standards. sp718 selects payment partners who meet established security certifications.

5.2 Game Providers

Certified game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Spribe, Microgaming, and NetEnt receive a pseudonymous player identifier (not your name or CNIC) and session data for the purpose of managing game rounds and resolving technical disputes. They do not receive your full identity data.

5.3 Identity Verification Services

Where sp718 uses a third-party KYC provider to verify documents, your identity data is shared with that provider for verification purposes only. The provider is contractually prohibited from using the data for any other purpose.

5.4 Regulatory and Legal Authorities

sp718 may be required to share player data with regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts in response to lawful requests. sp718 will only share data in these circumstances to the extent required by law, and will generally seek to notify the relevant player unless prohibited from doing so.

5.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of sp718's business assets, player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. Players would be notified before any such transfer takes effect and would retain all rights under this Privacy Policy.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

sp718 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform function correctly and to understand how players use the site. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They do not contain viruses and cannot access other files on your device.

6.1 Types of Cookies Used by sp718

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in, security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery, and cookies that remember your language and currency preferences. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
• Analytics cookies: sp718 uses anonymised analytics to understand how players navigate the site, which sections are most visited, and where technical issues occur. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual player identities.
• Preference cookies: These remember your settings on sp718 — such as your preferred sports view, notification settings, or bet slip preferences — so you don't have to reconfigure them every visit.

6.2 Managing Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent sp718 from functioning correctly and you will not be able to log in or place bets. Instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation.

7. Data Retention

sp718 retains different categories of data for different periods, based on the purpose for which the data was collected and any legal retention obligations. The approximate retention periods are as follows:

When a retention period expires, data is either securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to a specific individual. Requests for early deletion are handled under Section 8 (Your Rights) below.

8. Your Privacy Rights

As an sp718 player, you have the following rights over your personal data. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting sp718 support at support@sp718.biz.

9. Security Measures

sp718 maintains a layered security architecture to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The key measures in place include:

• TLS 1.3 encryption on all connections between your device and the sp718 platform.
• AES-256 encryption for all personal data stored in sp718 databases.
• Tokenisation of all payment credentials — sp718 servers never store raw card numbers or mobile wallet PINs.
• Role-based access controls limiting which sp718 team members can access which categories of player data, with full audit logging of all access events.
• Two-factor authentication for all sp718 administrative systems that touch player data.
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing by qualified security professionals.
• Monitoring systems that detect and alert on unusual access patterns or potential breach indicators in real time.

While sp718 uses industry-standard security measures, no system is completely invulnerable. In the event of a security incident, sp718 will follow the breach notification process described in Section 6 of the feature commitments above.

10. Payment Data and PKR Transactions

sp718 takes special care with financial data because of its sensitivity. When you make a deposit via Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT, or card, the following applies:

• Your payment credentials (Easypaisa PIN, JazzCash PIN, bank account number, card number) are entered directly into the payment processor's secure interface — they are never transmitted to or stored by sp718 servers.
• sp718 receives only a transaction reference number, the amount, and a success/failure status from the payment processor. This is the minimum necessary to update your account balance.
• Transaction records — the reference number, amount, date, and method — are stored by sp718 for 5 years to meet financial compliance obligations. The underlying payment credentials are held by the payment processor, not sp718.
• All payment processing partners used by sp718 are certified to industry security standards applicable to their service type and operate under their own published privacy policies.

11. Children's Privacy

sp718 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. sp718 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If sp718 becomes aware that an account has been created by or for a person under 18, that account will be immediately closed, all funds will be returned to the registered payment method, and all personal data associated with the minor will be deleted from our systems within 30 days of identification.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has accessed sp718, please contact support@sp718.biz immediately so the account can be reviewed and closed.

12. Marketing Communications

sp718 sends marketing communications — including bonus offers, promotional events, and platform news — to players who have opted in to receive them. You can opt in or out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.

sp718 marketing communications are sent by email and, where you have provided consent, by SMS. We do not make unsolicited phone calls. We do not send marketing messages through third-party messaging services without your explicit consent.

If you opt out of marketing communications, you will still receive essential transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts — as these are necessary for the operation of your account and cannot be disabled.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

sp718 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in applicable law, or improvements to how we explain our practices. The date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision.

When material changes are made — changes that significantly affect how we use your data or your privacy rights — sp718 will notify registered players by email before the changes take effect. For minor clarifications or corrections that do not change the substance of the policy, sp718 will update the page without prior notification but will update the revision date.

Continued use of the sp718 platform after a revised Privacy Policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with changes to the Privacy Policy, you may close your account and request deletion of your data in line with Section 8 of this policy.
