This Privacy Policy explains how bet626 collects, processes, stores and protects the personal data of users who access our Platform — including visitors from Pakistan and other locations. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and transparently.
bet626 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") operates the website at https://bet626.cam. We are an independent educational platform providing information about online sports betting, live casino games, payment methods and responsible gambling. We do not operate a betting service, accept player deposits or process wagers.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the types of personal data we collect from users ("you", "your") of this Platform, the purposes for which that data is used, the legal basis for processing, the duration of retention, your rights in respect of that data, and how to contact us regarding privacy matters.
By accessing or using this Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described herein, please discontinue your use of the Platform immediately. This Policy forms part of our Terms & Conditions, accessible at bet626.cam/terms-conditions.
For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below:
The Data Controller responsible for Personal Data processed through this Platform is bet626, operating at https://bet626.cam.
bet626 is an independent information platform serving Pakistani users and other international visitors. We are not a licensed gambling operator. We do not claim affiliation with the Government of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani financial institution.
For all privacy-related enquiries, data subject requests or concerns about how your data is processed, please contact us using the details provided in Section 17 of this Policy.
As an informational platform that does not require user registration, bet626 collects a limited and proportionate set of data. The categories of data we may collect are described in the table below.
| Category | Examples | Collection Method | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical / Device Data | IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution | Automatically collected via server logs and analytics tools | Automatic on site access |
| Usage / Behavioural Data | Pages visited, time spent on pages, navigation paths, referring URLs, search terms used within the Platform | Analytics tools (e.g., privacy-compliant analytics services) | Automatic on site access |
| Cookie & Session Data | Session identifiers, cookie preferences, preference settings | Cookies placed on your device — see Section 10 | Depends on consent |
| Communications Data | Email address, subject line, message content — only if you contact us directly by email | Provided voluntarily by you when you email [email protected] | Voluntary only |
| Aggregated / Anonymised Data | Statistical website traffic data, page performance metrics — not attributable to any individual | Derived from technical and usage data after anonymisation | Not Personal Data |
When you visit any page of the bet626 Platform, our servers and analytics infrastructure automatically record technical and usage data as described in Section 4. This happens as a normal function of operating any web platform and does not require any active input from you.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to manage your session, remember your preferences and collect anonymised usage statistics that help us improve the Platform. See Section 10 for a full explanation of how we use cookies and your options for managing them.
If you send an email to our support address — [email protected] — we will receive and retain the data you include in that communication, including your email address and the content of your message. We use this data solely to respond to your enquiry and do not add you to any marketing list without your explicit consent.
We may use third-party analytics services to help us understand how the Platform is used. These services process usage data on our behalf under data processing agreements. We select services that offer appropriate privacy controls, including options for IP anonymisation.
We process Personal Data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The table below sets out our processing purposes and the corresponding legal basis for each.
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Operating and delivering the Platform to users | Technical / device data, session data | Legitimate interests — necessary to provide the service |
| Analysing and improving Platform performance and content | Usage / behavioural data, aggregated analytics | Legitimate interests — improving user experience |
| Managing cookies and user preferences | Cookie and session data | Consent (for non-essential cookies); legitimate interests (essential cookies) |
| Responding to user enquiries and support emails | Communications data (email, message content) | Legitimate interests — responding to user requests |
| Detecting and preventing security threats or fraudulent access | Technical data, IP addresses, access logs | Legitimate interests — platform security |
| Complying with applicable law and legal obligations | Any data as required | Legal obligation |
We do not use your Personal Data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. We do not use your data for direct marketing unless you have explicitly consented to receive communications from us.
We retain Personal Data for no longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention periods are set out below.
Where you exercise your right of erasure (see Section 13) and we have no overriding legal obligation to retain the data, we will delete or anonymise your Personal Data within 30 days of a valid request.
bet626 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose your Personal Data to third parties for their own commercial or marketing purposes. This is an unconditional commitment — your data is not a commercial product for us.

All Data Processors are required to process your data only as instructed by us, to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures, and not to use your data for their own purposes.
We may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory authority or in response to a valid legal process. We will notify you of any such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or other business restructuring involving bet626, Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.
As an online platform accessible globally, including from Pakistan, your data may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence. Where Personal Data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:
Pakistani users should be aware that Pakistan's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and related regulations govern the protection of personal data within Pakistan. By using this Platform, you acknowledge that your data may be processed outside Pakistan in accordance with this Policy.

We take the security of your Personal Data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, accidental loss or destruction.
Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
While we take reasonable and appropriate precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of any security vulnerability or suspect that your data has been compromised through your use of this Platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected].
This Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licence jurisdiction to which any content relates. bet626 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the applicable minimum age.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor for whom you are responsible has provided Personal Data to us, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Subject to applicable data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data processed by bet626. These rights apply to all users including those accessing the Platform from Pakistan.
You have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.
You have the right to request deletion of your Personal Data where we have no overriding legal obligation to retain it.
You have the right to request that we temporarily restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing purposes.

The bet626 Platform may reference or describe third-party websites, services, operators or payment providers within its Educational Content. Any references to Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah or other third-party brands are made purely as contextual references familiar to Pakistani users and do not constitute links to, affiliations with or endorsements of those brands.
If you navigate away from this Platform to any third-party website, that website's own privacy policy will govern the processing of your data. bet626 has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the privacy practices of any third-party website, operator or service provider.
We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policy of any third-party website or operator platform before providing personal information to them.
bet626 serves a significant user base in Pakistan, including users in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and other cities. This section provides specific information relevant to Pakistani users.
Pakistan has enacted personal data protection legislation, including the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). While bet626 operates internationally, we are committed to applying data processing standards consistent with internationally recognised data protection principles, which align substantially with the protections provided under Pakistani data protection legislation.
This Platform's Educational Content makes contextual references to Pakistani payment methods including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah. These references do not result in bet626 collecting any financial account data, CNIC numbers or payment credentials relating to those services. We have no technical integration with any of these payment providers and cannot access any of your accounts with them.
bet626 does not proactively share user data with Pakistani government bodies, PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any other Pakistani regulatory authority unless compelled to do so by a valid and lawful legal order directed at bet626. We will notify users of any such compelled disclosure to the extent we are legally permitted to do so.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements or Platform functionality. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this Policy.
Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we process your Personal Data or reduce your rights — we will take reasonable steps to bring those changes to your attention, which may include a prominent notice displayed on the Platform for a reasonable period.
Your continued use of the Platform after a Policy update constitutes your acknowledgement of and agreement to the revised Policy. If you do not accept the revised Policy, please discontinue using the Platform.
We recommend bookmarking this page and checking it periodically, especially if you are a regular user of the Platform.
For all privacy-related enquiries, data subject access requests, complaints or questions about this Policy, please contact bet626 using the details below. We handle all privacy requests in confidence.
The six cards below summarise bet626's core privacy commitments. They are a plain-English companion to the full Policy above — not a replacement for it.
Your personal information is never sold, rented or traded to third parties for commercial purposes. Full stop. We have no advertising data marketplace and no intention of creating one.
We collect only what is technically necessary to operate this informational website — standard server logs, analytics and, if you email us, your contact details. No financial data, no CNIC, no gambling account information.
Access, rectify, delete, restrict or port your data — these are genuine rights you can exercise by emailing us. We respond within 30 days and do not charge for standard requests.
All data between your device and our servers is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Look for the padlock icon in your browser — it should always be visible on bet626.
Log data is deleted after 12 months. Email correspondence after 24 months. We do not hold your data indefinitely "just in case" — retention periods are proportionate to operational need.
We understand our platform serves Pakistani users across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and beyond. Our processing practices respect applicable Pakistani data protection principles and international standards.
We've been transparent about how we handle your data. Now explore our guides, glossaries and responsible gambling resources — all written in clear English for Pakistani users.
