HOW WE HANDLE YOUR DATA

Data, Cookies, Security and Account Control

We take a structured approach to managing your personal data, cookies, and account security. Below are the six areas that matter most to you as an account holder on 8ball.

Data We Collect

We collect the data you provide at registration — name, contact details, payment identifiers for UPI or Paytm — plus session and device data generated during use. We collect only what is necessary for account operation and legal compliance.

Cookie Policy

We use essential cookies to keep your session active and functional cookies to remember preferences such as language and currency. Analytics cookies are used with your consent and can be adjusted in your browser settings at any time.

Account Security

Your account is protected by password hashing, two-factor authentication options, and session-timeout controls. We monitor for unusual login patterns and will lock an account if suspicious activity is detected, notifying you immediately.

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as the account is active and for the period required by applicable law after closure. Transaction records connected to UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe payments are held for the legally mandated retention window.

Your Rights

You have the right to request a copy of the data we hold on you, ask us to correct inaccurate records, and in certain circumstances ask us to delete your data. Submit these requests through the legal email channel listed in our terms.

Who to Contact

Our data handling queries are directed to our internal privacy contact. You can reach this person by emailing our support address with the subject line 'Data Request'. Responses follow the 7-working-day window described in our policy.
