Version 2.4 — 2026
Important: This Privacy Policy describes the data collection and processing practices of 98ms. By using our platform, you agree to the terms set out in this document. Please read it carefully, especially the section on your rights as a user.

1. Introduction and Scope of This Privacy Policy

98ms ("we", "Platform", or "98ms") takes the privacy of every user who entrusts us with their personal information seriously. This Privacy Policy is crafted to provide full transparency on how we handle your data — from the point of collection through to storage and deletion.

This document applies to all users who access the 98ms platform via our official website, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and any of our official communication channels including live chat and customer support email. If you access 98ms through a third-party link or platform, please review their privacy policy separately as we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with Terms & Conditions us. Both documents together form the complete agreement governing use of the 98ms platform. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you are advised to discontinue use of our platform.

We will update this document from time to time in line with changes to laws, technology, or the way we operate our business. The "Updated" date at the top of this document reflects the latest version currently in effect.

2. Types of Personal Data We Collect

We only collect data that is strictly necessary to provide quality, secure services and meet legal compliance requirements. Below is a summary of the types of data we collect and their purposes:

Data Category Example Information Primary Purpose

Automatically Collected Data

When you browse the 98ms platform, our systems automatically record technical information such as your IP address, device type and operating system, web browser name and version, pages you visit and time spent on each page, as well as referral pages (the page that brought you to our platform). This technical data is used solely to ensure account security, detect suspicious activity, and improve platform performance.

Data from Third Parties

In certain circumstances, we may receive information about you from payment service providers we work with, third-party identity verification service providers, and government or law enforcement authorities when required. All data received from third parties is handled to the same standards as data you provide directly to us.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

Every piece of data we collect has a clear and legitimate purpose. We do not use your data for purposes unrelated to the provision of the 98ms platform services. The following are the primary purposes for which your data is used:

  • Account management: Creating, verifying, and securely maintaining your user account.
  • Transaction processing: Processing deposits, withdrawals, and all financial transactions you make on the platform.
  • KYC and AML Compliance: Meeting legal requirements related to Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML).
  • Platform security: Detecting and preventing fraud, unauthorised access, and platform abuse.
  • Customer support: Handling your inquiries, complaints, and support requests effectively.
  • Service communications: Sending important notifications regarding your account, transactions, and platform updates.
  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify users who may need self-exclusion assistance.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing usage patterns in aggregate to improve the overall user experience.
Marketing: We only send you promotional communications if you have given explicit consent during registration or through your account settings. You may withdraw this consent at any time via the account settings page.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

98ms never sells, rents, or trades your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. However, there are specific circumstances in which we may need to share your information with trusted parties:

Trusted Service Providers

We work with third-party service providers that help us run platform operations, including payment gateway providers to process deposit and withdrawal transactions, KYC identity verification service providers, cloud infrastructure providers that store your data securely, and email and communication service providers. All these providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for the specified service purposes.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information to government authorities or law enforcement if required by a court order, warrant, or valid legal requirement. In such cases, we will notify you of the disclosure unless prohibited from doing so by law.

Business Transfer

Should 98ms be involved in any merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets, user data may be transferred as part of those business assets. You will be notified in advance and given the option to delete your account if you do not agree to the transfer.

5. Data Security and Protection

Your data security is something we take seriously. We continuously invest in integrated security infrastructure to ensure your information is always protected against unauthorised access, loss, or data breaches.

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected with military-grade encryption.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We offer and encourage the use of two-factor authentication for all user accounts.
  • 24/7 Monitoring: Our systems are continuously monitored by our security team to detect any suspicious activity.
  • Secure password storage: Your password is stored in hashed format using the latest algorithms — we ourselves cannot view your original password.
  • Regular security audits: Our platform undergoes regular independent security audits conducted by certified cybersecurity experts.
  • Data segregation: Your financial data is stored separately from your gaming data with strict access controls.
Your Responsibilities: While we do everything in our power to protect your data, account security also depends on you. Please use a strong password, never share your login credentials with anyone, and enable two-factor authentication for added protection.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The 98ms platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, maintain session security, and analyze platform usage patterns. The following are the types of cookies we use:

You can manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings at any time. However, deleting essential cookies may affect platform functionality and your login experience. The analytics cookies we use do not contain personally identifiable information.

8. Data Retention Period

We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the original purpose of collection or as required by law. Below are our general data retention guidelines:

  • Active account data: Retained for the duration your account is active plus any legally mandated period following account closure.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years in compliance with financial and accounting legal requirements.
  • KYC documents: Retained for the period stipulated by applicable AML/KYC regulations, typically 5 to 7 years.
  • Customer support communication logs: Retained for 3 years for reference and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Technical data and security logs: Retained for 12 months and then automatically deleted.
  • Marketing data: Deleted within 30 days after you withdraw your marketing consent.

Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

9. Child Protection

The 98ms platform is strictly for users who are of legal age 18 years and above. We do not intentionally collect, store, or process any personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we determine that we have collected data from an underage user, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and terminate the account in question. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered an account with 98ms, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we may take the appropriate action.

98ms fully supports online child protection efforts. We encourage parents to use parental control software to prevent children from accessing online gambling platforms.
