1 Introduction
hf88 ("we", "us", "our") operates the online casino and sports betting platform available at hf88.games, which is designed and operated specifically for players in Pakistan. As part of operating this platform, hf88 processes personal data relating to registered players and visitors to the platform.
This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal data that hf88 collects, the purposes for which that data is processed, the conditions under which it may be shared with third parties, and the measures taken to protect it. This Policy also explains the rights available to you as an individual whose personal data is processed by hf88, and how you can exercise those rights.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the hf88 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are incorporated by reference and together form the full legal framework governing your use of the hf88 platform.
2 Data We Collect
2.1 — Registration Data
When you create an hf88 account, we collect the following personal information that you provide directly: full name, date of birth, Pakistani Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number, residential address in Pakistan, email address, and mobile phone number. This information is mandatory — accounts cannot be created or maintained without it.
2.2 — Identity Verification (KYC) Data
As part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, hf88 may collect copies of identity documents including your CNIC, proof of Pakistani residential address (such as a utility bill or bank statement), and evidence of ownership of the payment method used for deposits (such as a screenshot of your Easypaisa or JazzCash account registered in your name).
2.3 — Financial & Transaction Data
hf88 collects data relating to all financial transactions processed through your account, including PKR deposit amounts and timestamps, withdrawal requests and processing records, payment method identifiers (masked Easypaisa/JazzCash account numbers), bonus credit and wagering records, and account balance history. hf88 does not store full payment account credentials — payment data is handled directly by our payment processing partners.
2.4 — Platform Activity Data
hf88 automatically collects data about how you use the platform, including: betting and gaming activity (games played, bet amounts, outcomes), login timestamps and session durations, device type, operating system, and browser version, IP address and approximate geolocation (city/region level), and clickstream and navigation data within the platform interface.
2.5 — Communications Data
When you contact hf88 support — whether via live chat or email at [email protected] — we retain records of those communications, including chat transcripts and email correspondence, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.

The hf88 platform does not contain links to external third-party websites other than those required for the delivery of contracted services. hf88 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party platforms that you may access independently outside of the hf88 service.

hf88 Privacy Commitments at a Glance
Six core privacy principles that govern how hf88 handles personal data for players in Pakistan
hf88 strictly prohibits the sale or commercial transfer of player personal data to unaffiliated third parties. Your PKR account data, CNIC details, betting history, and contact information are never sold to advertisers, data brokers, or any other commercial party for their own use.
Every piece of data transmitted between your device and the hf88 platform is protected by TLS encryption. Sensitive stored data — including KYC documents, CNIC records, and payment identifiers — is encrypted at rest on hf88's secure infrastructure, accessible only to authorised personnel.
hf88 follows a data minimisation principle — we collect only what is genuinely necessary to run your account, process PKR payments, verify your identity, and comply with legal obligations. If data is not needed for a specific operational or legal purpose, hf88 does not collect it.
Pakistani players have clear rights over their hf88 personal data — including access, rectification, erasure, and portability. hf88 responds to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe. Requests can be submitted via live chat or by email to the hf88 support team in English.
hf88 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Age verification is mandatory at registration. Any account found to belong to a minor is terminated immediately and the associated data is deleted, except where retention is legally required for investigation purposes.
When hf88 makes material changes to this Privacy Policy, registered players are notified proactively — via in-account notifications or email — before the changes take effect. hf88 does not make silent or retroactive changes to how it handles player data without informing players first.
