This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Noob Wine ("we", "us", "the platform", "the operator") collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data when you use the noobwine.app platform. It applies to all Pakistani players who register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, access the casino, interact with customer support or otherwise use any feature of the platform. This Policy forms part of the Terms and Conditions and should be read alongside them.
1. Introduction — Why Privacy Matters at Noob Wine
When you register with Noob Wine, you trust us with personal information — your name, your mobile number, your CNIC details, your payment account. That trust is not something we take casually. This policy is written to be clear and readable, not to bury important information in legal language that discourages anyone from actually reading it.
The short version of our approach to privacy at Noob Wine is this: we collect what we need, we use it only for the purposes described in this policy, we protect it with serious technical security measures, and we do not hand it to people who have no business having it. The longer version follows in the sections below.
Pakistani players have specific privacy considerations that we are aware of. Mobile wallet accounts linked to CNICs, payment histories tied to real identities, and the general context of using a platform like Noob Wine all make careful data handling especially important. We designed our data practices with these considerations in mind from the beginning, rather than retrofitting privacy as an afterthought.
2. Personal Data We Collect
Noob Wine collects personal data through several channels. The specific data collected depends on how you interact with the platform. Below is a full account of every category of personal data we collect and the source of each category.
| Data Category | Specific Data Points | Source | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, CNIC or passport number | Registration form / verification process | Required |
| Contact Data | Mobile number, email address | Registration form | Required |
| Account Data | Username, encrypted password, account preferences, communication settings | Account setup | Required |
| Payment Data | Easypaisa/JazzCash account reference, bank account details (IBFT), partial card data (last 4 digits only), transaction history | Deposit and withdrawal process | Required |
| Betting & Gaming Data | Bet history, stakes, markets, winnings, casino game sessions, virtual sports activity | Platform activity | Automatic |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, session timestamps | Automatic — platform logs | Automatic |
| Communication Data | Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, support ticket content | Customer support interactions | When used |
| Responsible Gaming Data | Deposit limit settings, self-exclusion status, cooling-off periods, session time preferences | Account settings / RG tool usage | When used |
We do not collect sensitive categories of personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or health information unless this is strictly required to fulfil a legal obligation. We do not collect full payment card numbers — card payments at Noob Wine are processed by PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processors who handle full card data on our behalf.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data
Noob Wine uses your personal data only for the purposes described below. We do not use your data for purposes that are incompatible with those for which it was collected.
- Account management: Creating and maintaining your Noob Wine account, verifying your identity and age, processing your login credentials securely, and managing your account preferences and communication settings.
- Processing transactions: Handling PKR deposits and withdrawals through Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank transfer and card payment methods. Transaction records are maintained for financial compliance and to resolve payment disputes.
- Providing betting and gaming services: Processing your bets, settling markets, managing your casino game sessions, displaying live scores and in-play data, and delivering the virtual sports simulation service.
- Fraud prevention and security: Monitoring account activity to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, bonus abuse, underage gambling and other prohibited conduct as defined in the Terms and Conditions. This includes automated monitoring systems as well as manual review by our compliance team.
- Responsible gaming: Using your betting history and account activity to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling, and to support the delivery of responsible gaming tools including deposit limits, self-exclusion and session reminders.
- Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving complaints, managing disputes and providing assistance through live chat and email at Noob Wine.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: Fulfilling any legal obligations applicable to the operation of the platform, including anti-money laundering requirements and identity verification obligations.
- Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the Noob Wine platform, identify technical issues and develop new features. This analysis does not involve processing your personal data in an individually identifiable form beyond what is necessary for specific technical debugging.
- Communications: Sending you service-related communications including account confirmations, deposit and withdrawal receipts, security alerts, and updates about changes to these policies. Where you have opted in, we may also send promotional communications about offers and bonuses at Noob Wine.
4. Payment Data and PKR Transactions
Given that Noob Wine operates exclusively in Pakistani Rupees and processes transactions through Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank transfer and card payment methods, payment data handling deserves specific attention.
When you make a deposit via Easypaisa or JazzCash, the transaction is processed through their respective payment APIs. Noob Wine receives a transaction reference, the PKR amount, and a confirmation of successful payment. We do not receive or store your full mobile wallet PIN or any authentication credentials for your Easypaisa or JazzCash account.
For bank transfers (IBFT), we receive your bank account reference for the purpose of verifying the source of funds and processing the withdrawal. This information is stored securely and used only for payment processing and fraud prevention purposes at Noob Wine.
Card payment data is handled exclusively by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. Noob Wine stores only the last four digits of your card number and the card type for display and verification purposes. We never have access to your full 16-digit card number, CVV or full expiry date.
All transaction history associated with your Noob Wine account — every deposit, withdrawal, bet settlement and bonus credit — is retained for a minimum of five years for financial compliance purposes. This period may be extended where required by applicable law or ongoing investigation.
5. When and With Whom We Share Your Data
Noob Wine does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Full stop. The only circumstances in which we share your personal data with any external party are the following:
- Payment processors: Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank transfer networks and card payment processors receive the data necessary to process your specific transactions. These parties process data only for that specific purpose and are contractually required to maintain appropriate security standards.
- Identity verification services: Where we use a third-party service to assist with CNIC verification or other identity checks, that provider receives only the data necessary to perform the specific verification and operates under strict data processing agreements.
- Game providers: Casino game providers receive your account session token and stake data to run your individual game session. They receive a pseudonymised player identifier rather than your full personal details. Providers include licensed studios such as Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming.
- Fraud prevention and compliance services: We may use third-party fraud detection tools that process technical data (IP address, device fingerprint, session behaviour) to identify suspicious activity. These tools do not receive your payment data or full identity documents.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: Where we are required by law or a valid legal process to disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies or other government authorities, we will comply. We will notify the affected player where we are legally permitted to do so.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of the business, personal data held by Noob Wine may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Players would be notified of any such transfer before it takes effect.
In every case where data is shared with a third party, we require contractual commitments from that party to handle the data securely, use it only for the specified purpose, and delete it when the purpose is fulfilled. We do not share data with any party based solely in a jurisdiction without adequate data protection standards without appropriate safeguards in place.
6. How We Keep Your Data Secure
Security at Noob Wine is not a bullet point in a policy document — it is an operational reality that the platform is built around. The following measures are in place to protect your personal data:
256-bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the Noob Wine platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. This applies to every page, not just login and payment screens.
Encrypted Data at Rest
Sensitive data stored in Noob Wine databases — including identity documents, payment references and account credentials — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
Password Security
Account passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes. Noob Wine never stores your password in readable form and our support team cannot retrieve it — only reset it via a verified process.
Access Controls
Internal access to personal data at Noob Wine is restricted to staff who require it to perform their specific job function. Access is logged and audited regularly.
Session Security
Noob Wine sessions expire automatically after a period of inactivity. You are alerted when a new device or location accesses your account so you can identify any unauthorised access.
Breach Response Plan
Noob Wine maintains an incident response procedure. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, you will be notified promptly with full details of what was affected and what steps are being taken.
Despite these measures, no digital system is completely immune to all threats. You also have a role in keeping your account secure: use a strong, unique password for your Noob Wine account, do not share your login credentials with anyone, and contact support immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Noob Wine uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform function correctly, to improve your experience and to understand how the platform is being used. Below is a full breakdown of the cookie categories we use.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using the Noob Wine platform. Disabling analytics and optional cookies will not affect your ability to bet, play or manage your account.
8. Data Retention Periods
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. The table below shows standard retention periods for key data categories at Noob Wine.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Identity documents (CNIC/passport copies) | 5 years after account closure | Anti-money laundering compliance |
| Transaction records (PKR deposits & withdrawals) | 5 years minimum | Financial record-keeping and dispute resolution |
| Betting and gaming history | 5 years after account closure | Dispute resolution and responsible gaming review |
| Account credentials (encrypted) | Duration of account + 6 months | Account management; fraud prevention |

When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is deleted or anonymised securely. Anonymised, aggregated data that cannot be used to identify any individual may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
9. Your Data Rights as a Noob Wine Player
As a player on the Noob Wine platform, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@noobwine.app or through the customer support channels listed in Section 13.
Right of Access
Request a copy of all personal data Noob Wine holds about you. We will provide this within a reasonable timeframe at no charge.
Right to Correction
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold. Update basic account details yourself via account settings or contact support for identity data corrections.
Right to Deletion
Request deletion of your personal data. Note that certain data must be retained for legal compliance purposes even after account closure — these categories are described in Section 8.
Right to Restrict Processing
Request that we restrict how your data is processed while a complaint or correction request is under review. During restriction, we will not delete or alter the relevant data.
Right to Data Portability
Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format. This right applies to data you provided to Noob Wine directly, such as registration data and account preferences.

Object to specific types of data processing, including processing for promotional communications. Opting out of marketing is available directly in your Noob Wine account settings.
We aim to respond to data rights requests within 30 days. For complex requests, we may extend this to 60 days with notification. We do not charge a fee for handling data rights requests unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive. In that case, we will notify you of any applicable charge before proceeding.
10. Children's Privacy and Under-18 Protection
Noob Wine is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Our registration process includes age verification steps specifically designed to prevent minors from creating accounts.
If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the age of 18, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you have reason to believe that a minor has registered an account on Noob Wine, please contact us at support@noobwine.app and we will investigate and act promptly.
Parents and guardians who share devices with children are encouraged to use device-level parental controls to prevent access to betting platforms. Noob Wine also recommends using the platform's own security features — strong passwords and session timeouts — to prevent inadvertent access by minors in the household.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
The Noob Wine platform integrates with a number of third-party services to deliver the full range of features available to Pakistani players. These include:
- Payment processors: Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay payment APIs and card payment processing services. Each of these parties operates under their own privacy policies in addition to their contractual obligations to Noob Wine.
- Game providers: Live casino and slot game providers operate their game engines within the Noob Wine platform. Game sessions involve technical data exchanges between your device and the provider's servers.
- Sports data providers: Live scores, in-play odds data and match statistics are delivered through licensed data feeds from sports data companies. These providers receive anonymised technical request data but not your personal account information.
- Customer support tools: Live chat functionality may be delivered through a third-party chat platform. Support conversations are conducted through this tool and transcripts are stored as described in Section 8.
Noob Wine does not host advertising from third-party ad networks. You will not see third-party behavioural advertising based on your Noob Wine activity, and your activity data is not shared with advertising platforms or data brokers.
12. Updates to This Privacy Policy
Noob Wine may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, applicable law or our data handling practices. When material changes are made, we will publish the updated Policy on noobwine.app with a revised "Last Updated" date and notify registered players via their registered email address where practicable.
Your continued use of the Noob Wine platform after an updated Policy is published constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If you disagree with material changes to the Policy, you should stop using the platform and request account closure, at which point your real money balance will be returned to your registered payment method subject to standard verification.
Historical versions of this Privacy Policy are available on request by contacting support. We maintain records of previous versions to provide transparency about how our data handling practices have evolved.
