w789 Privacy Policy

1.1 w789 ("w789," "we," "us," or "our"), operating the online gaming platform accessible at w789.lol, acts as the data controller in respect of personal information collected from users of the platform. As data controller, w789 determines the purposes for which, and the means by which, your personal data is processed.

1.2 w789 is licensed and regulated by an international gaming authority. Our data processing activities are conducted in compliance with the data protection obligations imposed by that licensing framework, as well as internationally recognised data protection principles including those reflected in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

1.3 For all privacy-related enquiries, data subject requests, or complaints relating to the processing of your personal data by w789, you may contact our Data Protection team through the live chat facility available on the platform or by writing to: [email protected]

2.1 Information You Provide Directly. When you register a w789 account, use the platform, or contact our support team, you may provide us with the following categories of personal information:

• Identity Information: Full legal name, date of birth, national identity card number (CNIC), and copies of government-issued identification documents submitted for KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.
• Contact Information: Pakistani mobile number (03xx format), email address, and any other contact details you provide during registration or subsequently.
• Financial Information: JazzCash account numbers, EasyPaisa mobile wallet identifiers, bank account details (for HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank transfers), USDT wallet addresses, transaction histories, and deposit and withdrawal records within the w789 platform.
• Account Credentials: Username and encrypted password (w789 does not store passwords in plain text).
• Support Communications: Records of your conversations with the w789 live support team, including chat transcripts, the nature of your query, and resolution details.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically. When you access and use the w789 platform, certain technical information is collected automatically:

2.3 Information From Third Parties. w789 may receive personal information about you from third parties in the following circumstances: identity verification agencies for KYC purposes; payment processing partners (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank) for transaction verification; and fraud prevention services where we have reasonable grounds to investigate suspicious activity.

3.1 w789 processes personal data for the following specific purposes:

To create and manage your w789 account, verify your identity and age (21+ requirement), process deposits and withdrawals in PKR, deliver game services and sports betting features, and maintain accurate records of your wagering activity and PKR wallet balance.

To verify the authenticity of transactions, detect and prevent fraudulent activity, investigate suspicious login attempts, enforce our single-account-per-user policy, prevent money laundering in compliance with our gaming license obligations, and protect both w789 and our users from financial harm.

To monitor gameplay patterns for indicators of problem gambling behaviour, enforce self-exclusion requests and account restrictions, apply deposit limits and session timers you have set, comply with our gaming license's mandatory responsible gaming requirements, and fulfil our player welfare obligations toward all w789 users.

To analyse user behaviour in aggregate to improve platform features, game selection, payment processes, and the overall w789 user experience. Analytics processing is conducted using aggregated or anonymised data wherever possible to minimise privacy impact.

To send you service-related communications including account notifications, security alerts, transaction confirmations, and updates to these policies. w789 may also send you promotional communications where you have given explicit consent to receive them, and where such communication is permitted under applicable law.

To comply with our international gaming license obligations, respond to lawful requests from regulatory authorities, fulfil anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) reporting requirements, and retain records as required by applicable law.

4.1 w789 processes your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis for doing so. The legal bases upon which we rely are as follows:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to perform our obligations under the agreement between you and w789 — including account management, payment processing, and game delivery — is conducted on the basis of contractual necessity.
• Legal Obligation: Certain processing activities, including KYC identity verification, AML reporting, and responsible gaming compliance, are required by the laws and regulations applicable under our international gaming license. This processing is conducted on the basis of legal obligation.
• Legitimate Interests: w789 processes certain data — including security monitoring, fraud prevention, and platform analytics — on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a secure and well-functioning platform, where such interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Consent: Where w789 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing — such as for optional promotional communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

5.1 Principle of Data Minimisation. w789 shares personal data with third parties only where strictly necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party commercial advertisers under any circumstances.

6.1 w789 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the w789 platform to recognise your device, maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and collect analytical data about platform usage.

6.2 Types of Cookies Used by w789:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the basic operation of the w789 platform, including maintaining your login session, securing your account, and enabling core gameplay functions. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing the functionality of the platform.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences — such as language settings and display options — so that you do not need to re-enter them each time you access w789.
• Analytical Cookies: Used to collect aggregate information about how users interact with the w789 platform — which games are most popular, which pages generate the most navigation, and where users experience friction. This data is used to improve the platform and is not linked to individual user identities.
• Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, monitor for suspicious login attempts, and enforce our single-account policy.

6.3 You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the w789 platform. For more information about managing cookies, refer to your browser's help documentation.

7.1 w789 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by our gaming license obligations and applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active relationship with w789 and for a period of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with our gaming license's record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction data, including deposit and withdrawal records, are retained for a minimum of five (5) years in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations applicable under our international gaming license.

7.2 Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

8.1 w789 implements comprehensive technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the w789 platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by major Pakistani banking institutions including HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data, including identity documents and financial information, is encrypted when stored in our systems.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within w789's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff members with access to user data are subject to confidentiality obligations and background checks.
• Two-Factor Authentication: w789 supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for user accounts and employs 2FA internally for staff access to systems containing personal data.
• Intrusion Detection: Our security systems monitor for unauthorised access attempts, suspicious login patterns, and anomalous data access activity on a continuous basis.
• Regular Security Audits: w789's security infrastructure is subject to periodic independent security assessments as part of our gaming license compliance obligations.

8.2 While w789 takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. We encourage you to maintain strong, unique passwords for your w789 account and to enable two-factor authentication to maximise your own account security.

8.3 Data Breach Response. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, w789 will notify affected users without undue delay and will take all necessary steps to contain the breach and mitigate its effects.

9.1 Subject to applicable law and our gaming license obligations, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by w789. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team through the live chat facility on the w789 platform or by writing to [email protected].

9.2 w789 will respond to valid data subject requests within thirty (30) days of receipt. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further two (2) months, in which case you will be notified of the extension and the reasons for it.

9.3 Exercising your data subject rights is free of charge. However, where requests are manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, w789 reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee or to decline the request.

10.1 The w789 platform is strictly an adult service available only to individuals aged 21 years and above. w789 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The collection of personal data from minors is entirely contrary to the purpose and policies of w789.

10.2 Where w789 discovers, through its age verification process or otherwise, that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21 years of age, w789 will immediately suspend the relevant account and delete the associated personal data, subject to any retention obligations imposed by applicable law or our gaming license.

10.3 Parents and legal guardians who have reason to believe that a minor may have accessed or registered with the w789 platform should contact our support team immediately through the live chat facility so that appropriate action can be taken without delay.

10.4 w789 strongly encourages parents and guardians to make use of parental control tools and internet filtering software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling content of any kind.

11.1 As an internationally licensed gaming platform serving users primarily based in Pakistan, the operation of w789 may involve the transfer of personal data to countries outside Pakistan, including to the jurisdiction in which w789 is licensed and to countries where our infrastructure and third-party service providers are based.

11.2 Where personal data is transferred outside Pakistan, w789 takes appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection standards. These safeguards may include: contractual data protection clauses between w789 and recipient entities; transfers to countries with adequate data protection frameworks; or other transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable international data protection law.

11.3 All third-party service providers that process personal data on w789's behalf — including payment processors, identity verification providers, and IT infrastructure providers — are required by contract to maintain standards of data protection equivalent to those applied by w789 under this Privacy Policy.
