Privacy Policy

Welcome to yes800. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how yes800 ("we", "us", "our") collects, processes, stores and protects personal information obtained from individuals ("you", "User") who access the yes800 website at yes800.cam (the "Site").

yes800 is an independent, English-language information and education resource covering online sports betting and casino gaming topics for users in Pakistan. The Site does not operate as a gambling platform, does not accept wagers and does not process financial transactions on behalf of users. As a consequence, the personal data we collect is limited in scope compared with an active operator platform.

We are committed to handling your personal information responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable data protection principles. By using the Site, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy.

For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:

• "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, email address, IP address, device identifiers and browsing behaviour.
• "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, deletion or any other handling.
• "Data Controller" means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data — in this case, yes800.
• "Data Processor" means any third party that processes Personal Data on behalf of yes800 under written instructions (e.g., analytics providers).
• "Cookies" means small text files placed on your device by the Site to support functionality, analytics and personalisation.
• "Consent" means a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of your agreement to the processing of your Personal Data.
• "Sensitive Data" means a special category of Personal Data attracting heightened protection, such as financial account details, health information or government-issued identification numbers.

yes800 acts as the Data Controller for Personal Data collected through this Site. As Data Controller, we are responsible for ensuring that your Personal Data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently and that it is used only for the purposes described in this Policy.

If you have any questions about how yes800 handles your data, or if you wish to exercise any of your rights as described in Section 11, please contact us using the details set out in Section 16 of this Policy.

yes800 collects Personal Data in the following ways:

4.1 Data You Provide Directly

Where the Site includes a contact or enquiry form, you may voluntarily submit information such as your name and email address. Submission of such information is entirely optional; no account registration is required to access yes800 Content.

4.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain technical data is collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools:

4.3 Data We Do Not Collect

yes800 does not collect, store or process any of the following:

• Financial account numbers, debit/credit card details or PKR banking information;
• Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast or other mobile-wallet account credentials;
• National Identity Card (CNIC) numbers or passport details;
• Gambling account usernames or passwords for third-party platforms;
• Biometric data of any kind.

Where applicable data protection laws require us to identify a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data, we rely on the following:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing automatically collected technical and analytics data to operate, secure and improve the Site, where our legitimate interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Consent: Where you voluntarily submit information through a contact form or opt in to cookie usage beyond strictly necessary cookies, processing is based on your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
• Legal Obligation: Where we are required to process or retain data to comply with applicable law, including security incident reporting or law enforcement requests.

yes800 uses the Personal Data we collect for the following purposes only:

• To operate and maintain the yes800 website and ensure it functions correctly across devices and browsers;
• To analyse aggregate usage patterns and improve the quality, relevance and accessibility of our Content;
• To respond to enquiries or feedback you submit through the Site's contact form;
• To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent activity, security incidents or technical abuse;
• To comply with legal obligations applicable to yes800's operations.

We do not use your Personal Data for automated decision-making, profiling, or to serve you personalised gambling advertisements. yes800 does not engage in direct marketing communications.

yes800 does not sell, rent or trade your Personal Data to third parties. We may share data in the following limited circumstances only:

7.1 Service Providers

We engage a small number of third-party service providers who process data on our behalf as Data Processors — for example, web hosting providers and analytics platforms. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions, to maintain appropriate security standards, and not to use your data for their own purposes.

7.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose Personal Data where required by law, regulation, court order or lawful request by a public authority — including where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of yes800, its users or the public.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of yes800's assets, Personal Data held by yes800 may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify users via a prominent notice on the Site if such a transfer involves a material change to how their data is processed.

7.4 No Operator Data Sharing

yes800 does not share user data with gambling operators, sports betting platforms or payment service providers referenced in our educational Content. References to Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah or any other provider in our guides are contextual — we have no data-sharing arrangement with these organisations.

yes800 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support the operation of the Site and to collect aggregate analytics data. We do not use cookies to build individual advertising profiles or to track you across third-party websites.

8.1 Types of Cookies We Use

8.2 Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies and be notified when new cookies are set. Disabling cookies may affect certain Site functionality. For guidance on managing cookies in common browsers, refer to your browser's help documentation.

8.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. yes800 currently does not respond to DNT signals in a standardised way, as no universally accepted standard for their interpretation exists. We do not use cross-site behavioural tracking regardless of DNT status.

yes800 retains Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specific retention periods are as follows:

• Server logs and IP address data: Retained for up to 90 days for security and fraud prevention, then deleted or anonymised.
• Analytics data: Retained in aggregate, anonymised form for up to 24 months to support long-term content improvement analysis.
• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months from the date of your last communication, then securely deleted.
• Cookie data: Session cookies expire at the end of your browsing session. Persistent cookies expire as described in our cookie configuration, typically within 12 months.

When Personal Data is no longer required, we delete it securely or anonymise it so that it can no longer be attributed to you.

yes800 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Our security measures include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and the Site;
• Restricted access controls limiting Personal Data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular security reviews of the Site infrastructure and third-party service provider arrangements;
• Secure deletion or anonymisation of data that is no longer required.

While we take data security seriously, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and any applicable regulatory authority as required by law.

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by yes800:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you, together with information about how it is processed.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure: 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.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, such as while the accuracy of data is disputed.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on consent and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests where your individual circumstances warrant it.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 16. We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further 60 days and will notify you accordingly.

We will not charge a fee for processing most requests. However, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or decline to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

The yes800 website contains gambling-related information and is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older (or the higher minimum age required by applicable operator or licence jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us immediately at the address provided in Section 16. We will take prompt steps to delete any such data from our records upon verification.

The yes800 Site does not contain links to external gambling operator websites or third-party platforms. However, our Content may reference third-party services — including payment providers such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah, and sports entities including the Pakistan Super League and the International Cricket Council — for educational and contextual purposes.

yes800 has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the privacy practices of any third party mentioned in its Content. If you choose to interact with a third-party platform based on information read on yes800, you should review that platform's own privacy policy before providing any personal or financial data.

yes800 is an English-language site directed at users in Pakistan, including those in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and other cities and regions across the country.

Pakistan's primary data protection framework is currently developing. The Personal Data Protection Bill, as proposed in Pakistan, aims to establish a formal regulatory framework for data handling. While that legislation progresses, yes800 is committed to adhering to internationally recognised data protection principles — including purpose limitation, data minimisation, transparency and security — regardless of the formal legislative landscape.

yes800 does not claim to be regulated or licensed by any Pakistani government authority, the State Bank of Pakistan or the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority in connection with its data processing activities. We handle data responsibly as a matter of principle, not merely compliance.

yes800 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or Site functionality. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, display a prominent notice on the Site homepage.

Your continued use of the Site following the publication of any updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed. If any change materially reduces your rights or increases our use of your data, we will take additional steps to inform you.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way yes800 handles your Personal Data, please reach out to us. Our team handles data enquiries in English and Urdu, and response times may vary.
