1Who We Are

q786 is an internationally licensed online casino and sports betting platform accessible at q786.org. We provide Pakistani players with a secure, regulated environment to enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, crash games, slots, and instant PKR transactions via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Raast.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "q786", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the q786 platform and its operating entity. "You" and "your" refer to any individual who visits, registers on, or uses the q786 platform in any capacity.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through q786.org, our mobile interface, our customer support channels, and any other touchpoints through which you interact with q786.

2Information We Collect

q786 collects personal information across several categories depending on how you interact with the platform. The table below sets out the primary data types we collect and their source:

q786 does not intentionally collect sensitive special-category data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or biometric identifiers beyond what is strictly required for age and identity verification.

3How We Use Your Information

q786 uses personal data for the following purposes:

• Account Registration and Management: To create and maintain your q786 player account, verify your identity and age (21+), and provide access to all platform features.
• Transaction Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Raast. Financial data is shared with payment processors solely for the purpose of completing your requested transaction.
• Regulatory Compliance and KYC: To fulfil our Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations. This may involve sharing identity data with licensed third-party verification providers.
• Fraud Prevention and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, money laundering, and other prohibited activities on the platform.
• Customer Support: To respond to your queries, complaints, and support requests — including those submitted via live chat and email.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor gameplay patterns and apply responsible gaming tools including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion at your request or where required by our platform policies.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the q786 platform experience, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• Marketing Communications: To send you promotional offers, bonuses, and platform news — only where you have opted in to receive such communications. You may opt out at any time via your account settings or by contacting support.
• Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws, court orders, regulatory requirements, and requests from competent authorities.

4Legal Basis for Processing

q786 processes personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including KYC/AML regulations, responsible gaming mandates, and data retention requirements imposed by our licensing jurisdiction.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, internal analytics, and improving service quality — where our interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Processing for direct marketing communications, non-essential cookies, and certain analytics — where we have obtained your prior, freely given, and informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

5Sharing Your Information

q786 does not sell your personal data. We share your information only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:

• Identity Verification Providers: Licensed KYC and AML service providers receive identity documents and personal details to perform age and identity verification on our behalf.
• Game Software Providers: Third-party casino game providers may receive your anonymised session identifier and gaming activity data to ensure correct game performance and RNG certification. They do not receive your identity or financial data.
• Regulatory and Legal Authorities: Where required by law, court order, or a competent regulatory authority, q786 may disclose personal data to government bodies, law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units.
• Fraud Prevention Services: Shared data with fraud detection partners is used solely to identify and prevent prohibited activities on the platform.
• Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

q786 aims to respond to all data rights requests within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, this may be extended by a further 30 days with written notice. We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

10Children and Minors

q786 strictly prohibits access and registration by individuals under the age of 21. Our platform is intended exclusively for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21, we will immediately close the associated account, void all activity, and securely delete all data relating to that individual. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on q786, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

11International Data Transfers

q786 is an internationally operated platform. Personal data may be processed or stored on servers located outside Pakistan. Where data is transferred internationally, q786 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to or higher than applicable privacy standards. These safeguards may include:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by competent data protection authorities.
• Binding corporate rules where transfers are made within a group of companies.
• Transfers to jurisdictions recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.

By registering on q786 and accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. We will always ensure that such transfers are conducted lawfully and with appropriate protections in place.

q786 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where changes are material — for example, where we begin collecting new categories of personal data or change the purposes for which data is used — we will notify you via your registered email address or via a prominent notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

For minor or administrative changes, the updated Privacy Policy will be published on this page with the revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.

Your continued use of q786 following notification of material changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you may request account closure by contacting our support team before the changes take effect.
