This Privacy Policy explains how q788 collects, uses, stores and protects information when you visit our online betting information platform — and what rights you have over your data.
q788 ("we", "us", "our" or the "Platform") is an English-language online betting information and guide platform accessible at https://q788.cam. We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every person ("you", "your" or "User") who visits or interacts with our Platform.
This Privacy Policy sets out in clear, structured terms what personal data we may collect when you use q788, how we use that data, with whom we may share it, how long we retain it, and what rights you have in relation to it. This Policy applies to all Users of the Platform, including visitors located in Pakistan and internationally.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling policy. By accessing or using q788, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below:
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| "Personal Data" | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including names, email addresses, IP addresses, device identifiers and behavioural data where such data can identify an individual. |
| "Processing" | Any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, erasure or any combination of these activities. |
| "Data Controller" | The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data. For users of q788, the Data Controller is q788 as described in Section 3. |
| "Cookies" | Small text files placed on your device by a website to store information about your visit, preferences and browsing behaviour. |
| "Third Party" | Any natural or legal person other than you and q788, including analytics providers, hosting services and infrastructure operators. |
| "Platform" | The q788 website at https://q788.cam, including all pages, subpages and associated digital services. |
q788 acts as the Data Controller in respect of Personal Data collected through the Platform. As Data Controller, q788 is responsible for determining how and why Personal Data is processed in connection with your use of this Website.
q788 does not operate as a gambling platform, does not process payments, does not hold a gambling licence from any Pakistani authority, and is not regulated by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan or any other Pakistani regulatory body. This Privacy Policy governs data processed solely in connection with your use of the q788 informational Platform.
If you register with a third-party gambling operator referenced on this Platform, that operator will act as a separate Data Controller in respect of your account data, and their own privacy policies will apply. q788 is not responsible for data processed by third-party operators.
When you interact with the Platform — for example, by using our contact form or submitting a query — you may provide us with:

| User Support | To respond to queries, complaints and feedback submitted through our contact channels. |
| Analytics & Improvement | To understand how Users engage with content on q788, identify popular pages and improve the editorial quality and structure of the Platform. |
| Security & Fraud Prevention | To detect, prevent and investigate unauthorised access, security incidents and potentially abusive behaviour on the Platform. |

| Content Localisation | To serve content that is appropriate and relevant to Users in Pakistan — including city-specific references to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar — based on approximate location inferred from IP data. |
We do not use Personal Data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects for Users. We do not build individual User profiles for commercial targeting.
Where applicable data protection frameworks require us to identify a legal basis for processing, we rely on the following:
q788 does not sell, rent or otherwise transfer Personal Data to third parties for commercial purposes. We do not share your data with gambling operators for marketing or profiling purposes.
We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform, including:
All such service providers are contractually required to process data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards. They are not permitted to use your data for their own independent commercial purposes.
We may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law, regulation, court order, or at the lawful request of a competent governmental or regulatory authority. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such disclosure where legally permitted to do so.
In the event that q788 undergoes a business reorganisation, merger, acquisition or sale of assets, Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any such transfer and any material change in the applicable privacy policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits, remember preferences and collect usage data for analytics purposes.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Required for basic platform functionality, including session management and security. Cannot be disabled without impairing core platform features. | Session / Short-term |
| Analytics Cookies | Used to collect aggregate data on how Users navigate q788 — which pages are visited most, how long Users spend on the site, and how they arrived. Data is anonymised where possible. | Up to 24 months |
| Preference Cookies | Remember your language, display or accessibility preferences to improve your experience on return visits. | Up to 12 months |
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers — including those commonly used on Android and iOS devices popular in Pakistan — allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.
We retain Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Policy, or as required by applicable law.
Where we are under a legal obligation to retain data for a longer period (for example, to comply with applicable Pakistani or international law), we will retain the relevant data for that period and delete it once the obligation expires.
q788 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. Measures in place include:
Depending on the data protection law applicable to your circumstances, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by q788. We will respond to all verifiable requests within a reasonable timeframe:
Request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and information about how it is being processed.
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.
Request deletion of your Personal Data where we no longer have a lawful basis for retaining it, subject to legal obligations.
Request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances while a dispute or review is pending.
Receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format where technically feasible.
Object to the processing of your Personal Data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis, in certain circumstances.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] (plain text — not a link). We will verify your identity before acting on any request. We will not charge a fee for processing reasonable requests.
The q788 Platform is strictly intended for users aged 18 years and over, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator's licence jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect, process or store Personal Data relating to minors.
If we become aware that Personal Data has been provided by or in relation to a person under the minimum eligible age, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our records. If you believe a minor has accessed this Platform or provided us with data, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Parents and guardians in Pakistan are encouraged to use parental controls and internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling-related information platforms. The responsible use of content controls is particularly important for households where devices are shared across multiple family members.
q788 does not include outbound links to external third-party websites in its current form. Should the Platform in future include links to third-party resources for informational context, this Privacy Policy will apply only to data processed by q788 directly.
Any third-party gambling operator, payment service (such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah) or sports organisation referenced on the Platform will have their own privacy policies governing data processed through their own services. q788 has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the privacy practices of any third party. The reference to any payment provider name on this Platform is purely contextual and does not imply any partnership, affiliation or data-sharing arrangement with q788.
q788 reserves the right to update, revise or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date displayed at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, we may also display a notice on the Platform.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data. Your continued use of the Platform after any updates are published constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
Previous versions of this Privacy Policy are available on request by contacting us at [email protected].

Six commitments that define how q788 handles data for Pakistani users.
q788 does not sell, rent or trade your Personal Data to any third party — not to gambling operators, not to advertisers, not to data brokers.
All data in transit between your device and q788 is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Look for the padlock in your browser before entering any information.
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your Personal Data at any time. We will process verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
We collect only the data we genuinely need to operate the Platform securely. We do not collect financial credentials, payment details or gambling account information.
We set defined retention periods for every category of data we hold. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised — not stored indefinitely.
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. The Platform is strictly adults-only, and we actively work to prevent underage access to gambling content.
Now that you understand how q788 handles your data, explore the rest of our platform with confidence. Whether you are researching PSL betting markets from Lahore, comparing payment options in Karachi, or looking for responsible gambling guidance in Islamabad — q788 is here to inform, not to exploit.
