Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to 10sbat, accessible at https://10sbat.cam (the "Platform"). It sets out how 10sbat collects, uses, stores, discloses and otherwise processes personal data in connection with your access to and use of the Platform.

10sbat is an English-language online betting information and entertainment platform designed for Pakistani users — including individuals based in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and other cities across Pakistan. Our content covers sports betting guides, responsible gambling resources, KYC documentation guidance and general platform education, all presented in a PKR context with references to familiar Pakistani payment methods.

By accessing or using this Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Platform immediately.

3. Data Controller

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the Data Controller is 10sbat, operating this Platform at https://10sbat.cam. All queries regarding this Privacy Policy and all data subject requests should be directed to us using the contact details provided in Section 17.

10sbat is not a licensed gambling operator. It does not hold a gambling licence issued by the Government of Pakistan, the State Bank of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority or any provincial authority. Our data-handling obligations arise solely from our operation of an information and entertainment website.

4. Personal Data We Collect

We collect Personal Data through several channels. The categories below describe what is collected and through what mechanism.

4.1 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit the Platform, our servers and analytics tools may automatically record the following technical data:

• IP address and approximate geographic location derived from IP;
• Browser type, version and language settings;
• Device type, operating system and screen resolution;
• Referring URL and exit page;
• Pages visited, session duration and click-path data;
• Date and time of access.

This data is collected for the purposes of Platform performance analysis, security monitoring and service improvement. It does not, in ordinary circumstances, directly identify you by name or contact details.

4.2 Data Provided Voluntarily

If you contact us through our support email or submit any query, you may voluntarily provide:

• Your name or username;
• Your email address;
• The content of your message or enquiry;
• Any additional information you choose to include in correspondence.

We collect this data solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and maintaining a record of communications.

4.3 Data Collected via Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in Section 8. Cookie data may include session identifiers, preference settings and usage analytics. Please refer to Section 8 for full detail.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

10sbat processes Personal Data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing of automatically collected technical data (IP addresses, device data, usage analytics) is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining platform security, preventing fraud, and improving user experience.
• Consent: Where cookies beyond strictly necessary functional cookies are used, processing is based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
• Contractual Necessity: Where you contact us with a support enquiry, processing of your contact data is necessary to respond to and fulfil your request.
• Legal Obligation: In certain circumstances, we may be required to process or retain data to comply with applicable legal obligations, including regulatory requests from competent authorities.

6. How We Use Your Personal Data

Personal Data collected by 10sbat is used exclusively for the following purposes:

1. Platform Operation: To serve the correct content to your browser, ensure pages load correctly across all devices (including mobile devices used by Pakistani users on 4G networks), and maintain overall Platform functionality.
2. Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent unauthorised access, malicious activity, automated scraping and other abusive behaviour on the Platform.
3. Analytics & Improvement: To understand how users navigate the Platform, which content is most useful to Pakistani users, and where improvements in structure, language or content coverage are needed.
4. Support Communications: To read, respond to and maintain records of enquiries submitted to our support email address.
5. Legal Compliance: To meet any obligations under applicable law, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

7. Data Sharing & Disclosure

10sbat does not sell, rent, or commercially trade your Personal Data. We may share data in the following limited and controlled circumstances only:

7.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

We engage trusted third-party service providers to assist in operating the Platform, including web hosting providers, analytics platforms and content delivery networks (CDNs). These providers process data strictly on our behalf, under written data processing agreements, and are not permitted to use the data for their own purposes.

7.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory directive or lawful request from a competent governmental or law enforcement authority. We will, where legally permissible, seek to notify you of any such disclosure.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or substantially all of the Platform's assets, Personal Data may be transferred to the successor entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy practices of the successor entity before your data is subject to a different Privacy Policy.

7.4 No Third-Party Marketing Sharing

Under no circumstances does 10sbat share Personal Data with third parties for marketing, advertising or promotional purposes. This includes operators, affiliate networks, advertising platforms or any other commercial parties.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

10sbat uses cookies and similar technologies to support Platform functionality and to gather aggregated analytics data. The following categories of cookies may be in use:

8.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function correctly. They enable page navigation, load balancing and security functions. These cookies cannot be disabled as they are technically required for the Platform to operate.

8.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data about how Users interact with the Platform — including pages visited, session duration and device type. This data helps us understand how Pakistani users navigate the site and where content improvements are needed. Analytics cookies are deployed only with your consent where required.

8.3 Preference Cookies

Preference cookies may store non-sensitive settings such as language preferences or display settings. They improve the user experience by remembering your choices between sessions.

8.4 Cookie Management

You may manage, restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse cookies through their privacy or settings menus. Given that many Pakistani users access the Platform on Android mobile browsers, we recommend consulting your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

9. Data Retention

10sbat retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specific retention principles include:

• Server Logs & Technical Data: Retained for a rolling period of up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted or anonymised.
• Analytics Data: Aggregated anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it no longer constitutes Personal Data once anonymised.
• Support Correspondence: Emails and support messages are retained for up to 24 months to enable follow-up and for record-keeping purposes, after which they are securely deleted.
• Legal Hold: Where data is subject to a legal obligation, regulatory request or dispute, retention periods may be extended for the duration of that obligation.

10. Data Security

10sbat implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption on all Platform pages and data-transmission flows;
• Access controls restricting data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of third-party service provider security practices;
• Server-side protections against common web vulnerabilities;
• Incident response procedures for potential data security events.

11. International Data Transfers

As 10sbat uses third-party service providers for hosting and analytics, Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual data processing agreements that require the recipient to provide a comparable level of data protection.

Pakistan does not currently have a comprehensive data protection law that mandates specific cross-border transfer mechanisms. Nonetheless, 10sbat applies best-practice standards for international data transfers as a matter of policy.

12. Pakistan Privacy Context

Pakistani data protection law is still evolving. The Personal Data Protection Bill (in legislative process at the time of this Policy's last update) is expected to introduce formal data subject rights and controller obligations for Pakistani residents. 10sbat monitors regulatory developments and will update this Policy to remain compliant as new requirements come into force.

In the interim, 10sbat applies data protection principles consistent with international best practice — including data minimisation, purpose limitation, storage limitation and integrity and confidentiality — as a matter of voluntary commitment to Pakistani users.

References to Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah on this Platform are contextual examples of familiar Pakistani payment rails only. We do not collect financial account data, payment credentials or transaction data from Users. These payment providers are not data processors or data partners of 10sbat.

13. Exercising Your Data Rights

You may exercise any of the data rights summarised in the "Your Rights" section above (and described in full in Section 2) at any time by contacting 10sbat using the details in Section 17. When submitting a data rights request, please:

• Clearly identify the nature of your request (e.g., access, erasure, rectification);
• Provide sufficient information to allow us to identify your data within our systems;
• Include "Data Rights Request" in your subject line for faster handling.

We will acknowledge all data rights requests within 5 business days and aim to fulfil or respond substantively within 30 days. Where a request is complex or high in volume, this period may be extended, and we will notify you accordingly.

We will not charge a fee for exercising data rights unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee or to decline the request with written explanation.

14. Children's Privacy

The 10sbat Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or above, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or licensing jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we become aware that Personal Data has been collected from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems. Parents and guardians who believe that a minor has accessed the Platform or submitted data are encouraged to contact us immediately using the details in Section 17.

15. Third-Party References

The Platform may contain contextual references to third-party brands, products and services (including payment providers and sports organisations). These references do not constitute links to or endorsements of any third-party privacy practices. 10sbat has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the data handling practices of any third party.

If you choose to interact with any third-party platform or operator referenced or compared within 10sbat content, you do so under that party's own privacy policy and terms of service. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy documentation of any gambling operator before registering an account or submitting personal information.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

10sbat reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. The revised Policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Where changes are material, we will endeavour to post a notice on the homepage for a reasonable period following the update.

Your continued use of the Platform following any posted update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the updated Policy, you must discontinue use of the Platform and may request deletion of your data under Section 13.
