q779 Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes how q779 ("q779," "we," "our," or "us"), the operator of the online gaming platform accessible at https://q779.org, collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you," "your," or "Player") who access or use the q779 platform, including all casino games, sports betting services, wallet functions, and related digital services.

q779 is committed to handling your personal data with care, transparency, and in full compliance with applicable data protection legislation. By registering an account, making a deposit, or otherwise using the q779 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.

This Policy should be read together with the q779 Terms & Conditions. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms & Conditions in relation to data protection matters, this Policy shall prevail.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, q779 acts as the data controller in respect of all personal data collected from players registered on the platform. As data controller, q779 determines the purposes for which and the means by which personal data is processed.

Where q779 engages third-party service providers — such as payment processors, identity verification providers, or game technology suppliers — to process personal data on its behalf, those providers act as data processors under binding data processing agreements that impose appropriate data protection obligations consistent with this Policy.

3. Personal Data We Collect

q779 collects personal data from you through several channels, including directly from you during registration and account use, automatically through your interaction with the platform, and from third parties as part of our verification obligations.

3.1 Data You Provide Directly

• Identity Data: Full legal name, date of birth, gender, and national identity number (CNIC) or passport number submitted during registration or KYC verification.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

q779 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and q779, including account management, payment processing, and delivery of gaming services.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering (AML) laws, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and regulatory reporting duties imposed by q779's licensing authority.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for q779's legitimate interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and service improvement — provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Where q779 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing — for example, for direct marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

q779 does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercialise your personal data. Personal data may be disclosed to third parties only in the following specific circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers

q779 engages carefully selected third-party service providers who process personal data on q779's behalf under binding contractual agreements. These include identity verification and KYC providers, payment processors (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank), game technology and live dealer solution providers, customer support platform operators, cybersecurity and fraud prevention providers, and cloud infrastructure and data hosting providers. All such providers are required to maintain appropriate technical and organisational data security measures.

6.2 Regulatory and Legal Disclosure

q779 may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or courts of competent jurisdiction where required or permitted by applicable law, including in connection with anti-money laundering investigations, tax compliance, or court orders. q779 will, where legally permissible, notify you of such disclosures.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event that q779 undergoes a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or corporate restructuring, personal data held by q779 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer that materially affects the processing of your personal data.

7. International Data Transfers

Due to the international nature of q779's technology infrastructure and third-party service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, q779 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable data protection law.

Safeguards used by q779 for international transfers include: contractual data protection clauses incorporated into agreements with all third-party processors; transfer only to jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection as recognised by relevant authorities; and technical security measures including end-to-end encryption of data in transit.

8. Data Retention

q779 retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following retention guidelines:

• Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active q779 account plus a period of five (5) years following account closure, to comply with anti-money laundering and regulatory record-keeping requirements.
• KYC and Identity Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the last transaction on your account, in accordance with applicable AML legislation.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for five (5) years from the date of each transaction, or longer if required by tax or regulatory law.
• Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last communication, unless a longer period is required for dispute resolution or legal proceedings.
• Marketing Consent Records: Retained for the duration of the consent plus two (2) years, to demonstrate compliance in the event of a regulatory inquiry.
• Technical and Usage Data: Retained for up to two (2) years from collection, after which it is anonymised or deleted.

When personal data is no longer required, q779 permanently deletes or irreversibly anonymises it using industry-standard data destruction methods.

9. Security Measures

q779 implements a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the q779 platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL). Personal data stored in q779's databases is encrypted at rest.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is strictly limited to q779 employees and authorised contractors who require it to perform their role. Access is governed by the principle of least privilege and requires multi-factor authentication.
• Password Security: User passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes. q779 staff cannot view your password in plain text under any circumstances.
• Regular Audits: q779 conducts regular internal and third-party security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments of its platform infrastructure.
• Incident Response: q779 maintains a formal data breach response plan. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, q779 will notify affected players and relevant regulatory authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law.
• Employee Training: All q779 staff with access to personal data receive regular data protection and security awareness training.

10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings, display preferences, and last-used payment method, to improve your experience on q779.
• Analytics Cookies: Help q779 understand how players interact with the platform — which pages are visited most, where players encounter errors, and how platform performance can be improved. Data collected is aggregated and not used to identify individual players.
• Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies: Help q779 detect and prevent fraudulent activity, bot traffic, and suspicious login attempts by analysing device and behavioural patterns.

10.2 Cookie Control

You may manage non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies.

Strictly necessary and security cookies cannot be disabled without preventing access to core platform features.

11. Minors & Age Restriction

The q779 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and over. q779 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory part of the q779 registration and KYC process.

If q779 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, that data will be immediately deleted, the associated account will be closed, and any funds deposited will be handled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
