Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy (hereinafter "this Policy") is issued by win488 (hereinafter "the Company", "we", "us" or "our"), the operator of the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at win488.cam (hereinafter "the Platform"). This Policy applies to all users of the Platform and any person who interacts with us in connection with the services we provide.

This Policy explains what personal data we collect from you, the purposes for which we process it, the legal grounds on which we rely, with whom we share it, how long we keep it and the rights available to you in relation to your personal data. We encourage you to read this Policy carefully and in its entirety before using the Platform.

This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling Policy, both of which contain additional provisions that are relevant to your relationship with win488.

2 Definitions

In this Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:

3 Data We Collect

3.1 Registration Data

When you create an account on the Platform, we collect the personal data you provide during registration, including your full legal name, date of birth, residential address, email address, phone number and chosen username. This data is required to create and maintain your account and to comply with our KYC and anti-money-laundering obligations.

3.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with our licensing requirements and applicable anti-money-laundering regulations, we may collect copies of identity documents such as national identity cards, passports or driving licences, along with proof of residential address (such as a utility bill or bank statement) and documentation confirming ownership of payment methods used on the Platform.

3.3 Financial and Transaction Data

We collect data related to deposits, withdrawals, wagers, bonuses and account balance movements. This includes transaction amounts, timestamps, payment method references and transaction identifiers. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers; card processing is handled by our certified payment service providers.

3.4 Usage and Behavioural Data

We collect information about how you interact with the Platform, including games played, betting history, session duration, pages visited, search queries within the Platform and features used. This data helps us improve the Platform, personalise your experience and identify responsible gambling concerns where relevant.

3.5 Technical and Device Data

We automatically collect certain technical data when you access the Platform, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen resolution, referring URL and unique device identifiers. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection and analytics.

3.6 Communications Data

When you contact our support team — whether by email or live chat — we retain records of those communications, including your messages and our responses. This data is used to resolve your queries, improve our service and maintain an accurate record of interactions.

4 How We Use Your Data

We process personal data for the following purposes:

5 Legal Basis for Processing

Win488 processes personal data on the following legal grounds, depending on the nature of the processing activity:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing that is necessary to perform our contract with you, including account creation, transaction processing and service delivery.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with our gaming licence conditions, anti-money-laundering regulations, fraud prevention obligations and other applicable legal requirements.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing that serves our legitimate business interests — such as fraud detection, Platform security, analytics and service improvement — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and certain non-essential cookies, where you have provided clear consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6 Data Sharing

6.1 Service Providers and Data Processors

We share personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who process data on our behalf, including payment processors, identity verification providers, cloud hosting providers, customer support platform providers and analytics service providers. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific purposes for which it is shared.

6.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies

We may disclose personal data to our licensing authority, financial intelligence units, law enforcement agencies or other regulatory bodies where required by law, court order or regulatory direction. This includes disclosures connected with anti-money-laundering investigations, fraud enquiries or other legal proceedings.

6.3 Game and Software Providers

Certain gameplay data may be shared with third-party game studios and software suppliers whose games are integrated on the Platform. This is limited to data necessary for game functionality, fairness certification and technical support.

6.4 No Sale of Personal Data

Win488 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer your personal data to third-party advertising networks, data brokers or marketers. Any sharing of data is strictly limited to the purposes described in this Policy.

7 Cookies & Tracking

7.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the Platform. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons and local storage. These technologies allow us to recognise your device, maintain your session, remember your preferences and collect analytical data about Platform usage.

7.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These cannot be disabled as they support core functions including session management, security and account access.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings, such as language selection and display options, to improve your experience on return visits.
• Analytical Cookies: Collect aggregated data about how users interact with the Platform, helping us identify areas for improvement. These are only set with your consent.
• Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content. These are only set where you have provided explicit consent.

7.3 Managing Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies through the Platform's cookie preferences panel or through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available in each browser's help documentation.

8 Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by our licensing obligations and applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account and KYC data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in line with standard anti-money-laundering record-keeping requirements under our licensing jurisdiction.
• Transaction data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the date of each transaction.
• Communications data: Retained for a minimum of two (2) years following the communication, or longer where a dispute remains unresolved.
• Marketing data: Retained until you withdraw consent or object to processing, after which it will be suppressed or deleted as appropriate.
• Technical and analytical data: Typically retained in aggregated or anonymised form for platform improvement purposes.

Where retention beyond these periods is required — for example, in connection with ongoing legal proceedings or regulatory investigations — data will be retained for the duration of that requirement and then securely deleted.

9 Data Security

Win488 implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the personal data we process. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols;
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest on our servers;
• Role-based access controls restricting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular security assessments, penetration testing and vulnerability scanning;
• Two-factor authentication requirements for administrative access;
• Incident response procedures for detecting, reporting and addressing data security breaches.

Despite these measures, no system is completely immune to security threats. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your win488 account and to enable any available account security features.

10 Your Rights

Subject to applicable law and our regulatory obligations, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is processed.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Some data, such as your registered name, may require supporting documentation to update.
• 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, subject to our legal and regulatory retention obligations.
• Right to Restriction: You may request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while a rectification request is under review.
• Right to Object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including direct marketing. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at the email address provided in Section 14. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable period, in accordance with our applicable legal obligations.

11 Children's Privacy

The Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 18 years or older, or such higher minimum age as required by our licensing jurisdiction. Win488 does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a minor, we will take prompt steps to delete that data and close the associated account.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered on the Platform, please contact our support team immediately. We take underage gambling and the protection of minors' data extremely seriously.

12 International Data Transfers

Win488 operates internationally and your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection through appropriate safeguards.

These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, approved data processing agreements with receiving parties, or other transfer mechanisms recognised under the applicable data protection framework of our licensing jurisdiction. You may request further information about the specific safeguards applicable to any cross-border transfer of your data by contacting our support team.

13 Policy Amendments

Win488 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where amendments are material — for example, where we introduce new categories of data processing or change the purposes for which we process your data — we will provide notice via the email address registered to your account and/or by posting a prominent notice on the Platform before the changes take effect.

Minor amendments, such as clarifications or corrections that do not materially affect your rights, may take effect immediately upon publication. The "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated Policy.
