Privacy Policy – How Yogame Protects Your Data

1. Who We Are

Yogame is an online gaming and sports betting platform operating at yogame.vu. We offer a wide range of entertainment options including sports betting, live casino games, slots, fish games, and more. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect the personal information of users who access our website and services.

By registering an account on Yogame or continuing to use our platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using our services and contact us to have your account details removed.

This policy is intended for users based in Pakistan and is written in line with responsible data practices. It applies to all users of yogame.vu regardless of how they access the platform — whether via browser, mobile app, or any other interface we may provide.

2. Data We Collect

We collect different categories of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Here is a clear breakdown:

Account & Registration Information

• Full name, date of birth, email address, and phone number
• Username and password (passwords are stored in hashed form — never plain text)
• Country of residence and preferred currency (PKR)

Identity Verification (KYC)

• Copy of government-issued ID such as CNIC or passport
• Proof of address documents where required
• Selfie or live verification image where applicable

KYC is required to process withdrawals, confirm your age, and maintain platform integrity. This information is handled with the highest level of confidentiality.

Financial Information

• Deposit and withdrawal transaction records
• Payment method identifiers (e.g., JazzCash account reference, Easypaisa wallet ID, bank account last digits)
• Transaction amounts and timestamps

We do not store complete card numbers or mobile banking credentials. All payment processing is handled through encrypted, compliant channels.

Usage & Technical Data

• IP address, browser type, and operating system
• Device type and screen resolution
• Pages visited, time spent on site, and navigation patterns
• Betting activity, game history, and session logs

This data helps us detect fraud, improve platform performance, and personalise your experience with relevant game recommendations and promotions.

3. How We Use Your Data

Yogame uses your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes. We do not use your data in ways you would not reasonably expect. Here is how your information is put to use:

• Account management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your Yogame account.
• Processing transactions: Handling deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfers, cards, and mobile wallets.
• Customer support: Responding to queries, resolving disputes, and providing assistance.
• Platform improvement: Analysing how users interact with our site to fix issues and add new features.
• Responsible Gaming: Monitoring for signs of problem gambling behaviour so we can offer support tools such as deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion options.
• Promotional communications: Sending you relevant bonus offers, PSL betting promotions, or T20 event alerts — only if you have opted in.
• Fraud prevention and security: Detecting suspicious behaviour, preventing account takeover, and maintaining platform integrity.
• Legal compliance: Fulfilling obligations under applicable laws and regulations, including age verification and anti-money laundering checks.

We process your data based on legitimate interest, contractual necessity, and in some cases your explicit consent (for example, marketing emails). You can withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, there are limited circumstances where we share information with trusted service providers and partners who are bound by strict confidentiality agreements:

• Payment processors: To complete your deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, and card networks.
• KYC/identity verification providers: To verify your identity and age as part of our account setup process.
• Analytics and platform tools: To monitor site performance, session data, and detect technical issues. These providers only receive anonymised or aggregated data where possible.
• Game software providers: Some game providers may receive your username and gameplay data to power the gaming experience. They are not permitted to use this for independent marketing purposes.
• Legal and regulatory requirements: If required by applicable law or a valid legal order, we may be obligated to share certain user data with relevant authorities.

Any third party that receives your data is contractually required to treat it with the same level of care and confidentiality that we apply ourselves.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Yogame uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work properly and to understand how it is being used. Here is what you need to know:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality such as keeping you logged in and maintaining your session. These cannot be turned off.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages are popular, how users navigate the site, and where improvements are needed. Data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings such as language preference, display options, or favourite sports (e.g., Cricket, PSL, Football).
• Security cookies: Used to detect fraudulent activity and protect your account from unauthorised access.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the platform, though some personalised features may be affected. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels for ad targeting.

6. Data Security

Protecting your data is one of our core responsibilities. Yogame employs multiple layers of security to keep your information safe:

• TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers
• Encrypted storage for sensitive data including passwords and identity documents
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all registered accounts
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Strict access controls — only authorised Yogame staff can access user data, and only when necessary
• Intrusion detection systems to identify and respond to suspicious activity quickly

Despite these measures, no system is completely immune to risk. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as required and take immediate steps to contain the situation.

7. Your Rights

You have clear rights regarding your personal data. As a Yogame user, you can:

• Access your data: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data: Ask us to update any information that is wrong or out of date.
• Delete your account: Request that we permanently delete your account and associated personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Opt out of marketing: Unsubscribe from bonus notifications, PSL promotions, or any other marketing communications at any time by contacting support.
• Restrict processing: In certain situations, request that we limit how we use your data while a dispute or review is ongoing.
• Data portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team using the email address listed in the Contact section below. We will acknowledge your request within a reasonable timeframe and work to resolve it as quickly as possible.

8. Data Retention

We do not keep your data longer than we need to. Here 's a general guide to our retention periods:

• Account data: Retained for the lifetime of your account plus up to 5 years after closure for audit and compliance purposes.
• Transaction records: Kept for a minimum of 5 years to comply with financial record-keeping obligations.
• KYC documents: Retained for as long as required under applicable identity verification and anti-money laundering requirements.
• Support communications: Kept for up to 3 years to help resolve any future disputes or queries.
• Technical and usage logs: Typically retained for 12 months and then anonymised or deleted.

Once the applicable retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

9. Children's Privacy

Yogame is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to register an account or use our services.

If we discover that a minor has registered an account, we will immediately suspend that account, delete the associated data, and take appropriate steps to prevent re-registration. If you believe a minor may have created an account using false information, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and act.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools and have open conversations with young people about responsible internet use and age-restricted platforms.

10. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our platform evolves, new features are introduced, or applicable requirements change. When we make significant updates, we will:

• Post a notice on the Yogame platform informing you of the update
• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Send an email notification for material changes if you have a registered account

Your continued use of Yogame after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you stay informed about how your data is being handled.
