6.1 Service Providers

88ed shares personal data with third-party service providers who assist in operating the Platform, including payment processors, KYC and identity verification services, game content providers, cloud hosting providers, and customer support platforms. All such providers are contractually bound to process your data only as instructed by 88ed and to maintain appropriate security standards.

6.2 Regulatory and Legal Disclosure

88ed may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, regulatory directive, or court order. 88ed will only disclose the minimum necessary information in such circumstances and, where legally permissible, will notify you of such disclosure.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of 88ed's business, personal data held by 88ed may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and of any changes to this Privacy Policy that result from it.

6.4 No Sale of Data

88ed does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit your personal data to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Any data sharing is strictly for operational purposes as described in this Section.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

88ed uses cookies and similar browser-based tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies used on 88ed.vip fall into the following categories:

• Essential cookies – required for the Platform to function, including session authentication and security cookies. These cannot be disabled without affecting core Platform functionality;
• Analytics cookies – used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the Platform, allowing us to identify usability issues and optimise page performance;
• Preference cookies – used to remember your settings and preferences across sessions, such as language or display preferences;
• Marketing cookies – used, where you have consented, to deliver relevant promotional content and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the Platform.

8. Data Retention

88ed retains personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Specifically:

• Account and transaction records are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure to comply with AML and anti-fraud regulatory requirements;
• KYC documentation is retained for the period required by the applicable regulatory framework;
• Support correspondence is retained for up to three years from the date of the last communication;
• Technical log data is generally retained for up to 12 months.

When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with 88ed's internal data management procedures.

9. Data Security

88ed implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These include 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption of all data in transit, encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest, access controls and role-based permissions limiting data access to authorised personnel, regular security auditing and vulnerability assessments, and multi-factor authentication for administrative systems.

While 88ed employs commercially reasonable security practices, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights, 88ed will notify affected players and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal obligations.
