What This Policy Covers in Brief

What We Collect

Registration details, identity verification documents, payment information, device data and gameplay activity — only what is needed to run the platform properly.

Why We Use It

To operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals in PKR, verify your identity, prevent fraud and fulfil any applicable legal obligations.

Who We Share It With

Payment processors (JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast), identity verification providers and game suppliers — never sold to advertisers or third-party marketers.

Your Rights

You can request access to your data, ask for corrections, request deletion of your account, and opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

Plain language notice: This Privacy Policy is written to be clear and readable, not to bury important details in legal language. If any section is unclear or you have a specific question about your data on q989, the contact details are in Section 13.

1 Introduction

q989 ("we", "us", "the platform") operates q989.app and the associated services including sports betting, casino games, slots, the VIP programme and all account-related functions. As part of operating these services we collect and process personal information about registered players and users of the platform.

This Privacy Policy sets out in plain terms what personal data we collect, the specific purposes for which we use it, under what circumstances it may be shared with third parties, and what rights you have in relation to your own data. By registering an account on q989 you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

This policy should be read alongside the q989 Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the platform as a whole.

2 Information We Collect

The personal information we collect falls into the following categories depending on how you interact with q989:

2.1 Registration Information

When you create an account on q989 you provide your full name, date of birth, contact details (email address and mobile number), and a username and password. This information is required to open and maintain your account. Without it, registration cannot be completed.

2.2 Identity Verification Documents

Before processing withdrawal requests or where required by our fraud prevention procedures, we may request copies of identity documents — typically a government-issued national identity card or passport — and proof of your payment method. These documents are used solely for verification purposes and are handled with strict access controls.

2.3 Financial and Transaction Data

We record all deposit and withdrawal transactions on your account including amounts, timestamps, payment method identifiers and transaction reference numbers. This data is necessary for account management, dispute resolution and fraud prevention. We do not store full payment card numbers or mobile banking PINs — payment processing is handled by certified third-party payment providers.

2.4 Gaming and Betting Activity

We maintain records of your gameplay on q989 including bets placed, games played, session durations and wagering amounts. This data is used for account management, responsible gaming monitoring, bonus administration and platform improvement.

2.5 Device and Technical Data

When you access q989 from any device we automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, screen resolution and connection type. This information is used for security purposes, fraud detection and to ensure the platform functions correctly across different devices and network conditions — which matters practically for players accessing q989 on mobile in Pakistan across varying network coverage.

2.6 Communications

If you contact q989 support, we retain records of those communications including the content of messages, timestamps and the outcome of any queries raised. This allows us to follow up on issues and maintain a consistent service record for your account.

3 How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect for the following specific purposes:

  • Account operation: To create, manage and maintain your q989 account, process logins, apply settings and enable all platform features including sports betting, slots and live casino.
  • Transaction processing: To process deposits and withdrawals in PKR via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer and other supported payment methods.
  • Identity verification: To verify that you are who you say you are, confirm you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years, and carry out anti-fraud checks.
  • Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming patterns that may indicate a problem, apply limits and exclusions you have set yourself, and fulfil our duty-of-care obligations to players.
  • Bonus and VIP administration: To correctly apply promotions, track wagering requirements, and manage your tier status within the q989 VIP programme.
  • Security and fraud prevention: To detect and investigate suspicious account activity, prevent unauthorised access and protect all players on the platform.
  • Platform improvement: To understand how the platform is used across different devices and connection types, identify technical issues and improve the experience — particularly for mobile users in Pakistan.
  • Legal compliance: To meet any applicable legal or regulatory obligations we are subject to, including record-keeping and responding to lawful information requests.
  • Customer support: To handle and resolve queries, disputes and feedback submitted through our support channels.

We do not use your personal information for unsolicited third-party marketing. If you receive any communication from q989, it relates to your account, a transaction, a promotion you have opted into or an important policy update.

4 Payment Data and PKR Transactions

All financial transactions on q989 are conducted in PKR. Payment processing is handled by the relevant payment service providers — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and banking partners — who operate their own secure processing infrastructure. q989 receives confirmation of successful transactions and the associated reference data but does not store your full mobile banking credentials, card numbers or banking PINs.

Transaction records including deposit amounts, withdrawal amounts, dates and payment method references are retained on your account for the period described in Section 7. These records are available to you through your account transaction history.

5 Sharing Your Information

q989 does not sell personal data to third parties. We do not share your information with advertisers or external marketers. The circumstances under which your data may be shared with third parties are limited to the following:

  • Payment processors: JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, card payment processors and banking partners — to complete your deposit and withdrawal transactions.
  • Identity verification providers: Third-party services used to verify identity documents during the KYC process. These providers are bound by contractual data protection obligations.
  • Game content providers: Slot and casino game providers receive the minimum data necessary to deliver game content to your session, including session identifiers and stake amounts.
  • Security and fraud prevention services: Third-party tools used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity on the platform.
  • Legal obligations: Where we are required by applicable law or a valid legal order to disclose information, we will do so. We will notify you where permitted.

All third parties with whom we share data are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection standards and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than the one for which it was shared.

6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

q989 uses cookies and similar browser-based tracking technologies to operate the platform correctly and improve the experience for users. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you access a website. They are not harmful and do not contain personal information in themselves.

The types of cookies used on q989 include:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — these handle your login session, security tokens and account state. The platform cannot work without them.
  • Performance cookies: Used to understand how different parts of the platform are used, identify pages that load slowly and detect technical errors.
  • Preference cookies: Store your settings such as language preference and display options so you do not need to re-select them on each visit.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will affect the platform's ability to maintain your login session and may prevent certain functions from working.

7 How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to handle any pending transactions, disputes or queries. Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum period to meet standard record-keeping requirements. Identity verification documents are retained for the minimum period required by applicable verification standards.

When you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, subject to retaining the minimum records required for legal compliance and dispute resolution purposes.

8 Security Measures

q989 applies technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all platform pages, secure storage for sensitive data including identity documents, access controls limiting which staff can view account information, and monitoring for unusual access patterns.

Two-factor authentication is available for your q989 account and we recommend enabling it from your account security settings. This adds an additional verification step when logging in from a new device, reducing the risk of unauthorised access even if your password is compromised.

While we apply reasonable security measures, no system is completely impenetrable. If you have reason to believe your account has been accessed without authorisation, please change your password immediately and contact support.

9 Your Data Rights

As a registered player on q989 you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These are set out below:

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Requests are processed within a reasonable timeframe.

Right to Correction

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct it. Contact support to submit a correction request.

Right to Deletion

You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data, subject to minimum retention requirements for financial records.

Right to Object

You can object to your data being used for any purpose beyond account operation and legal compliance, including opting out of optional communications.

Data Portability

You can request a copy of your personal data in a structured format that you can transfer elsewhere, where technically feasible.

Right to Restrict Processing

In certain circumstances you can request that we limit how we process your data while a dispute or correction request is being resolved.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact q989 support through your account dashboard or using the email address shown in the footer of this page. We will respond within a reasonable period. Requests that are clearly unfounded or excessive may be declined with an explanation.

10 Minors

q989 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If during identity verification or at any other point we have reason to believe an account holder is under 18, the account will be suspended immediately and any balance held pending investigation. If you believe a minor has registered on q989, please contact support immediately.

11 Third-Party Services and Links

The q989 platform does not contain links to external third-party websites or services in its main navigation or content areas. Game content is delivered within the q989 platform environment. Where third-party services are used (payment processors, identity verification, game providers), they operate under their own privacy policies in addition to the data-sharing restrictions we impose contractually. q989 is not responsible for the privacy practices of payment providers you use to fund your account — please review their policies separately.

12 Changes to This Privacy Policy

q989 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate the platform, updates to applicable standards, or improvements in transparency. Where changes are material, we will notify registered players through the platform before the updated policy takes effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was published.

Continued use of q989 after an updated Privacy Policy has come into effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.

13 Contact Us
