• Contractual data protection clauses in agreements with all third-party processors
• Transfer only to service providers that maintain security standards equivalent to those required by bv998's gaming license

By registering a bv998 Account and using bv998 Services, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to servers and service providers located outside Pakistan where necessary for the operation of the platform.

10 Children & Minors

bv998 services are strictly limited to individuals aged 21 and older. bv998 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If bv998 discovers that an account has been registered by a person under 21, the account will be immediately closed, gameplay will be voided, and all collected data will be deleted to the extent permitted by legal obligations.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor under your care has registered a bv998 Account or provided personal data to bv998, please contact bv998 support immediately at [email protected] so that appropriate action can be taken without delay.

11 Marketing Communications

bv998 may send promotional communications — including bonus offers, PSL cricket betting promotions, new game announcements, and VIP programme updates — to players who have provided explicit opt-in consent to receive such communications during registration or subsequently through account settings.

Marketing communications may be delivered via:

• Email to the address registered on your bv998 Account
• SMS to the Pakistani mobile number registered on your bv998 Account
• In-platform notifications displayed within your logged-in bv998 session

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by updating your notification preferences in your bv998 Account Settings. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of communications sent before the withdrawal, nor does it affect the processing of your personal data for any other purpose described in this Policy. Withdrawal of marketing consent has no adverse effect on your bv998 account or access to any bv998 service.

bv998 does not share your contact details with third-party marketers, affiliates, or advertising networks for the purpose of those parties sending you unsolicited marketing communications.

12 Exercising Your Data Rights

To exercise any of your data rights described in the "Your Rights" section above — including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection — you may contact bv998 through the following channel:

• Email: [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link)
• Live Chat: Via the bv998 platform support widget, available 24/7

All data rights requests require identity verification before any action is taken. This is to protect against unauthorised access to or deletion of player data. bv998 will acknowledge receipt of a data rights request within 5 business days and will fulfil the request within 30 calendar days of verification, unless an extension is required due to the complexity or volume of the request — in which case bv998 will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.

There is no fee for making a data rights request. However, bv998 reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive in nature.

13 Complaints

If you believe that bv998 has not handled your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy or applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint. bv998 strongly encourages you to contact bv998 support in the first instance so that the matter can be investigated and, where possible, resolved directly.

If you remain dissatisfied following bv998's response to your complaint, you may escalate the matter to the data protection supervisory authority or regulatory body applicable in the jurisdiction of bv998's gaming license, or to any other competent supervisory authority that has jurisdiction over your situation.

bv998 treats all privacy complaints seriously and will investigate each complaint thoroughly, providing a written response within 14 business days of the complaint being received.

14 Changes to This Privacy Policy

bv998 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, platform functionality, or bv998's data processing practices. The effective date at the top of this document will be updated whenever material changes are made.

Where changes to this Privacy Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or the way bv998 processes your personal data — bv998 will notify registered players via the email address on file prior to the changes taking effect. Non-material changes (such as clarifications, typographical corrections, or updates to contact details) may be made without prior notice.

Continued use of bv998 Services after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to a revised Privacy Policy, you may close your bv998 Account at any time by contacting customer support.
