Introduction
j1887 is an English-language online betting information platform designed for Pakistani users and other permitted audiences. We understand that privacy matters deeply to our users — particularly in a market like Pakistan where digital literacy around data rights is growing rapidly. This policy reflects our genuine commitment to responsible, transparent and minimal data processing.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through j1887 — including data provided during account registration, identity verification (KYC), platform usage, support communications and any marketing preferences you express. It covers data collected both directly by j1887 and, where relevant, by connected Operators through whom you may access gambling services.
This policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions. Together, these documents form the complete framework governing your use of j1887.

Data Controller
j1887 is the Data Controller for personal data collected through https://j1887.cam. As Data Controller, we are responsible for ensuring that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently, and that appropriate technical and organisational safeguards are maintained.
Where j1887 provides informational references to third-party Operators, those Operators are independent Data Controllers with respect to personal data you provide directly to them. j1887 is not responsible for the data practices of independent Operators, and we encourage you to review each Operator's privacy policy before registering with them.

Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection frameworks require a lawful basis for processing, j1887 relies on the following bases:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing required to provide you with account services, process your use of the Platform and fulfil our obligations under the Terms & Conditions.
- Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements, identity verification obligations and fraud prevention regulations.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, including platform security, fraud detection, improving our services and analytics — where such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
- Consent: Processing for which we have obtained your explicit consent, including non-essential cookies, direct marketing communications and certain data profiling activities. You may withdraw consent at any time without detriment.

How We Use Your Data
j1887 uses personal data for the following specific purposes:
- Account Management: Creating and maintaining your account, authenticating your identity at login and personalising your Platform experience.
- Identity Verification (KYC): Verifying your age, identity and eligibility to use the Platform, as required under our responsible gambling obligations and AML compliance framework.
- Platform Security: Detecting, investigating and preventing fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, cheating, collusion and any other misuse of the Platform.
- Customer Support: Responding to your enquiries, resolving disputes and maintaining records of your communications with j1887.
- Analytics & Improvement: Understanding how users interact with j1887 in aggregate to improve content, navigation, performance and educational value — particularly for Pakistani audiences.
- Legal Compliance: Meeting obligations under applicable laws, responding to lawful requests from authorities and maintaining records as required by regulation.
- Marketing Communications: Sending promotional content, bonus information and platform updates where you have opted in. You can withdraw marketing consent at any time by contacting support or updating your account preferences.
- Responsible Gambling: Monitoring account activity to identify signs of problematic gambling behaviour and, where appropriate, intervening with support resources or account restrictions for player protection purposes.
7
Data Sharing & Third Parties
j1887 does not sell personal data. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers (Data Processors): We engage trusted third-party service providers to support Platform operations — including cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery and fraud detection services. These providers act only on our instructions and are bound by data processing agreements.
- KYC Verification Partners: Where identity verification is processed through a specialist KYC provider, that provider receives the minimum data necessary to complete verification. We require all KYC partners to maintain equivalent security and confidentiality standards.
- Connected Operators: Where you proceed to register with a gambling Operator through j1887, the Operator may receive data necessary to create your account with them. That Operator becomes an independent Data Controller for the data they receive. j1887 is not responsible for Operator data practices.
- Legal & Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose personal data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement or courts where required by law, a court order or to protect the rights, safety or property of j1887, our users or the public.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of j1887, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity. We will notify users of any such transfer and the privacy implications in advance.
8
International Data Transfers
j1887 may transfer personal data to, or process it in, countries outside Pakistan. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that appropriate data protection safeguards are in place, which may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant data protection authorities.
- Data processing agreements with service providers that include binding data protection obligations.
- Transfers to countries that have been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection by applicable regulatory bodies.
If you require information about the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer of your personal data, you may request this by contacting [email protected].
9
Data Retention Periods
j1887 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal or regulatory obligations. General retention principles are as follows:
- Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account, plus a reasonable period thereafter to handle any outstanding claims or legal obligations.
- KYC / Identity Documents: Retained in accordance with applicable AML regulations, which typically require retention for a minimum period following the end of the business relationship. We will inform you of the specific retention period applicable to your KYC data upon request.
- Transaction and Activity Records: Retained for the period required by applicable financial and gambling regulations.
- Support Communications: Retained for a reasonable period to resolve ongoing queries and maintain a record of disputes.
- Marketing Data: Retained until you withdraw consent or request erasure.
- Technical and Usage Data: Retained in anonymised or aggregated form for analytics purposes where individual identification is no longer possible.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.
10
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
j1887 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies we use fall into the following categories:
- Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary for Platform functionality — including session management, authentication and security. These cannot be disabled without impairing Platform use.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how users interact with j1887 in aggregate — such as which pages are most visited and how long users spend on specific sections. This helps us improve content quality for Pakistani audiences.
- Preference Cookies: Store your settings and preferences to personalise your experience — such as your preferred language or display settings.
- Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns. Deployed only with your consent.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies or receive warnings before a cookie is stored. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality.

KYC & Identity Data — Special Handling
Given the sensitive nature of identity documentation, j1887 applies heightened standards to the handling of KYC data, including CNIC copies, passport scans and liveness/selfie verification images.
- KYC documents must be submitted exclusively through the secure HTTPS verification portal provided by j1887 or the connected Operator. Submission via email, WhatsApp, social media or any other channel is strongly discouraged and may be refused.
- KYC data is encrypted both in transit (via TLS) and at rest, and is stored in access-controlled environments with strict personnel authorisation requirements.
- Access to KYC data within j1887 is restricted to personnel with a legitimate operational need — such as compliance staff or KYC review teams.
- KYC data is never used for marketing purposes, shared with advertising networks or disclosed to payment providers such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah.
- Users must never submit altered, edited, cropped or falsified identity documents. Submission of fraudulent documents constitutes a serious breach of our Terms & Conditions and may be reported to relevant authorities.
Security Reminder: j1887 will never ask you to send your CNIC, passport or other sensitive identity documents by email or through any chat application. If you receive such a request purportedly from j1887, treat it as a potential fraud attempt and contact
[email protected] immediately.
12
Minors & Age Gating
j1887 is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18 — or such higher minimum age as required by the operator/license jurisdiction applicable to the gambling services referenced on this Platform.
If you are under the applicable minimum age, you must not register on j1887 or provide any personal data to us. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a minor without appropriate consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems.
If you believe that a minor has registered on j1887 or provided personal data to us, please contact [email protected] immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Age verification is a component of our KYC process. All users are required to confirm their date of birth during registration, and identity documents submitted during KYC are reviewed to confirm age eligibility.

Data Security
j1887 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction. Our security measures include:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and j1887 servers.
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest, particularly KYC documentation and identity records.
- Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only.
- Regular security assessments, vulnerability testing and platform audits.
- Incident response procedures to detect, contain and notify affected parties in the event of a data breach, in accordance with applicable law.
While we take extensive precautions, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed as completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials — including choosing a strong password and not sharing your login details with third parties.
Account Security Tip: Use a unique, strong password for your j1887 account. Do not reuse passwords from other services. Enable any available two-factor authentication (2FA) options for additional protection.

Pakistan-Specific Considerations
j1887 acknowledges that Pakistan has its own evolving data protection landscape. The Personal Data Protection Bill (proposed legislation as of the time of this policy's effective date) and related regulatory developments may affect how personal data of Pakistani users is processed. j1887 monitors such developments and will update this policy as necessary.
j1887 expressly does not:
- Share personal data with the Government of Pakistan, PTA, State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani regulatory authority, except where required to do so by a lawful court order or statutory obligation.
- Disclose user data to payment providers — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah — for any purpose beyond what is strictly necessary to process a transaction you have initiated.
- Use location data identifying a user as being in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Faisalabad, Multan or any other Pakistani city for purposes beyond platform personalisation and fraud prevention.
Pakistani users who wish to exercise data rights or raise privacy concerns are encouraged to contact j1887 directly. This policy does not constitute legal advice regarding Pakistani data protection law — users with specific legal concerns should consult a qualified legal professional.
16
Policy Updates
j1887 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where the changes are significant, notify registered users by email or via a prominent notice on the Platform.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data. Your continued use of j1887 following any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you may request account closure by contacting our support team.
