At ph888, we take your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect from Pakistani players, how we use it, who we share it with, and how we keep it secure at all times.
These six principles underpin how ph888 approaches data protection for every player on the platform. The full legal text of each commitment is detailed in the sections below.
ph888 collects only the personal data that is genuinely necessary for account operation, identity verification, payment processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data speculatively or beyond what our licence requires.
Every data transmission between your device and ph888's servers is protected using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by major international banks. Your financial and personal information is never transmitted in plain text.
ph888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers, data brokers, or advertisers under any circumstances. Data is shared only with service providers essential to platform operations, under strict confidentiality agreements.
You have the right to access, correct, port, and request deletion of your personal data held by ph888. You can also withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time. These rights can be exercised by contacting our support team.
ph888 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable licensing and anti-money laundering regulations. Data no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised.
If ph888 ever experiences a data breach that affects your personal information, we commit to notifying affected players promptly and taking all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact and prevent recurrence.
1.1 ph888 collects personal data from you in the following ways: directly when you provide it during registration or account management; automatically when you interact with the platform; and from third-party service providers involved in payment processing or identity verification.
When you register and use a ph888 account, we collect the following categories of personal data:

When you access the ph888 platform, we automatically collect certain technical data, including:
1.4 ph888 does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, political opinions, health data, or sexual orientation. If you voluntarily disclose such information during a support interaction, it will not be recorded beyond the scope of resolving your query.
2.1 ph888 processes your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes and only where a lawful basis for processing exists. The table below sets out the primary purposes for which your data is used and the corresponding legal basis for each.

2.3 Marketing Communications. If you have opted in to receive promotional communications, ph888 may contact you with information about bonuses, new games, PSL cricket betting promotions, and platform updates. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by adjusting your account notification preferences or by contacting the ph888 support team. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
3.1 ph888 does not sell, lease, or otherwise commercially transfer your personal data to third parties. Data is shared only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
ph888 works with third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf and under our instructions. These providers are contractually bound to process data only for the purposes specified by ph888 and to maintain appropriate security standards. Categories of service providers include:
ph888 may disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or in connection with the prevention or detection of crime (including money laundering and fraud). In such cases, ph888 will disclose only the minimum information necessary to satisfy the legal obligation.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of ph888's business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and given the opportunity to close your account if you do not consent to the new entity's privacy practices.
4.1 ph888 implements a multi-layered data security framework designed to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. The key technical and organisational measures in place include:
4.2 While ph888 takes all reasonable measures to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your ph888 login credentials confidential and for ensuring that you access the platform from secure devices and networks.
4.3 Breach Notification. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, ph888 will notify affected players without undue delay and will take immediate steps to contain the breach, assess its scope, and implement corrective measures.

You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing.

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on ph888's legitimate interests, including profiling for responsible gaming monitoring. ph888 will assess your objection and cease the relevant processing unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect your ability to use the ph888 platform.
