98a3 Privacy Policy – LGPD Data Protection

Learn how 98a3 collects, uses, and protects your personal data in compliance with Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Full transparency — no confusing legal jargon.

How 98a3 Protects Your Data

Six principles that guide the handling of personal information on the platform

LGPD
Full LGPD Compliance

98a3 operates in full compliance with Law No. 13,709/2018 (LGPD). Every data processing activity has a defined legal basis — contract performance, legal obligation, legitimate interest, or consent. No data is processed without a legitimate, documented justification.

Zero Sale
Your Data is Never Sold

98a3 does not sell, rent, or share users' personal data with marketing companies, prospecting lists, or any third party not directly involved in operating the platform. This is non-negotiable — it has been part of our policy from day one.

256-bit SSL Encryption on Everything

All communications between your phone or computer and 98a3's servers are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by Brazil's Central Bank for financial transactions. Your registration data, betting history, and Pix transactions are always transmitted encrypted.

Your Rights
Full Control by the Data Subject

You can view, correct, export, or request the deletion of your personal data at any time, directly through the account dashboard or by email. 98a3 responds to data subject requests within 15 business days, in accordance with the deadlines established by the LGPD.

Retention Limited to What Is Necessary

98a3 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or to meet legal and regulatory obligations. Financial transaction data is retained for 5 years as required by the Central Bank. Marketing data is deleted upon withdrawal of consent.

DPO
Designated Data Protection Officer (DPO)

98a3 has a designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for ensuring LGPD compliance, responding to data subject requests, and serving as the communication channel with the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD). Direct contact is available at privacidade@98a3.net.

Last updated: January 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the 98a3 (available at 98a3.net) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of Brazilian users. By creating an account or using any service on the platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this document. For any questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacidade@98a3.net.

1. Introduction

The 98a3 is an online entertainment platform committed to protecting each user's personal information. This Policy was drafted in compliance with the General Data Protection Law (Lei nº 13.709/2018 — LGPD) and reflects the principles of transparency, purpose limitation, adequacy, necessity, free access, data quality, security, prevention, non-discrimination, and accountability.

The processing of personal data at the 98a3 is handled responsibly and proportionately. We collect only what is necessary, use it solely for the purposes described, and guarantee data subjects the rights provided by law. This is not merely a legal requirement — it is part of 98a3's commitment to the Brazilian players who trust the platform.

Applicability: This Policy applies to all personal data processed by 98a3 in its operations in Brazil, including data collected through the 98a3.net website, the official app for Android and iOS, and any other communication channel on the platform.

2. Personal Data Collected

2.1 Data Provided Directly by the User

By registering and using the 98a3, you voluntarily provide the following information:

  • Full name as it appears on an official document;
  • CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas);
  • Date of birth;
  • Full residential address including zip code;
  • Email address;
  • Mobile phone number;
  • Banking details for payment processing via Pix, boleto, or card;
  • Identification documents and proof of address (when requested during the KYC verification process).

2.2 Automatically collected data

By accessing the platform, the 98a3 automatically collects technical data necessary for the secure operation of its services:

  • IP address and approximate geographic location;
  • Browser or app type and version;
  • Device operating system;
  • Pages visited, session duration, and clicks;
  • Betting history, deposits, and withdrawals;
  • Cookie data and session identifiers (detailed in Section 8).

2.3 Third-Party Data

In some cases, the 98a3 may receive data from payment partners (such as card processors, Mercado Pago, and PicPay) to confirm transactions, or from identity verification providers used in the KYC process. This data is used exclusively for the purposes agreed upon with each partner.

Data minimization principle: 98a3 applies the principle of data minimization — we only collect what is strictly necessary for each purpose. We do not collect sensitive information such as health data, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.

3. Purpose of Data Use

The 98a3 uses collected personal data exclusively for the purposes listed below. No data is used for purposes other than those described here without fresh consent or an adequate legal basis:

Purpose Data Used Legal Basis
Account creation and management Full name, CPF, email, phone number, date of birth Contract performance
Identity verification (KYC) Identity documents, proof of address Legal obligation
Payment Processing Bank details, CPF, Pix key Contract performance
Fraud prevention and anti-money laundering IP address, transaction history, behavioral data Legal obligation / Legitimate interest
Customer Support Email, account history, session logs Contract performance
VIP program and personalization Betting history, gaming preferences Legitimate interest
Marketing communications Email, phone number, preferences Consent
Responsible gaming and monitoring Betting history, set limits, session data Legal obligation / Legitimate interest

4. Legal Bases for Processing

All personal data processing carried out by the 98a3 has a defined legal basis under the terms of Art. 7 of the LGPD. We rely on the following bases:

4.1 Contract Performance

The processing required to deliver contracted services — account creation, deposit processing via Pix and boleto, withdrawals, access to games, and the VIP Program — is carried out on the basis of the contract entered into between the user and the 98a3 at the time of registration.

4.2 Legal Obligation

Certain data processing activities are required by law: identity verification (anti-money laundering regulations), retention of financial records (Banco Central do Brasil regulations), and reporting of suspicious activity to the relevant regulatory authorities.

4.3 Legitimate Interest

The 98a3 processes data on the basis of legitimate interest for purposes such as fraud prevention, platform security, personalization of services within the VIP Program, and ongoing improvements to the user experience, provided these interests do not override the rights and freedoms of data subjects.

4.4 Consent

To send marketing communications by email, SMS, or push notification, the 98a3 requests the user's explicit consent. This consent can be revoked at any time through the account dashboard or via the unsubscribe link included in every communication.

5. Data Sharing

The 98a3 does not sell personal data. Sharing only occurs in the situations described below, with partners who have signed appropriate confidentiality and data processing agreements:

  • Payment partners: card operators, Mercado Pago, PicPay, and partner banks to process transactions in BRL via Pix, boleto, and card;
  • Game providers: Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and other content providers receive only the minimum data necessary to authenticate game sessions;
  • Identity verification services: KYC platforms used to validate documents in the regulatory compliance process;
  • Infrastructure providers: cloud hosting and cybersecurity services that underpin the platform's operation, under active data processing agreements;
  • Public authorities: Brazilian regulatory, law enforcement, or judicial authorities upon formal legal request — such as court orders or notifications from COAF (Financial Activities Control Council).

No personal data is shared with advertising companies, data brokers, third-party mailing lists, or any entity not described above. If that changes, you will be notified in advance and may choose to stop using the platform.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Personal data is retained by the 98a3 only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose that justified the collection, in accordance with the following retention periods:

  • Registration and identity data: retained for as long as the account is active and for up to 5 years after closure, for audit and legal compliance purposes;
  • Financial transaction records: 5 years, as required by the Central Bank of Brazil and anti-money laundering regulations;
  • Betting history: 2 years after the last bet, which may be extended in the event of an ongoing dispute or investigation;
  • Marketing communications data: until consent is withdrawn — deleted within 30 days of the request;
  • Access and security logs: 6 months, for security monitoring and fraud prevention purposes;
  • Self-exclusion data: retained for a minimum of 5 years to ensure the block is upheld in the event of a new registration attempt.

Once the applicable retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymized so that the individual can no longer be identified. Requests for early deletion are assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account any legal obligations that may prevent immediate removal.

7. Data Security

The 98a3 implements technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Key measures include:

  • 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption on all communications between the user and the platform's servers;
  • Encryption at rest for sensitive data stored in databases;
  • Two-step authentication available for all user accounts;
  • Role-based internal access controls — only staff with a legitimate need can access personal data;
  • Continuous security monitoring with automatic alerts for suspicious access attempts;
  • Periodic penetration testing and security audits by specialized firms;
  • An incident response plan with notification to the ANPD and affected data subjects within 72 hours in the event of a data breach.

No digital platform can guarantee absolute security, but the 98a3 follows industry best practices in the financial and entertainment sectors to minimize risk. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately via live chat, available 24 hours a day.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The 98a3 uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, improve the user experience, and collect analytics data. The cookies used fall into the following categories:

8.1 Essential Cookies

Required for the platform's basic operation: maintaining an authenticated session, remembering language preferences, and storing account settings. They cannot be disabled without impairing use of the platform.

8.2 Performance Cookies

Collect anonymous data on how users interact with the site — most visited pages, average session duration, errors encountered — so that the 98a3 can continuously improve the platform. They do not identify users individually.

8.3 Functionality Cookies

Allow the platform to remember your specific preferences — such as favorite games, betting settings, and notification preferences — to personalize your experience on every visit.

8.4 Marketing Cookies

Used only with your consent to deliver relevant content and personalized communications. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your account settings panel or via the consent banner displayed on first access.

Cookie controls: You can disable performance and marketing cookies in your browser settings or through your account dashboard on 98a3. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the platform to function.

9. Your Rights as a Data Subject

The LGPD guarantees personal data subjects a set of rights that 98a3 is committed to respecting. You may exercise these rights at any time by emailing privacidade@98a3.net or via the platform's live chat:

  • Access: obtain confirmation that your data is being processed and receive a copy of the information we hold about you;
  • Correction: request the correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;
  • Anonymization, blocking, or deletion: for data that is unnecessary, excessive, or processed in violation of the LGPD;
  • Portability: receive your data in a structured format for transfer to another controller;
  • Erasure: request the deletion of data processed on the basis of consent, except where retention is required by law;
  • Information on data sharing: know which entities your data has been shared with;
  • Withdrawal of consent: withdraw consent for processing based on that legal ground at any time;
  • Objection: object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interest when you disagree with the justification provided.

The 98a3 responds to all data subject requests within 15 business days. For more complex cases requiring additional identity verification, the deadline may be extended with prior notice to the requester. All responses are provided in English.

Official channel for data requests: privacidade@98a3.net. Please have your registered CPF on hand to speed up identity verification before your request is processed.

10. Minors

The services of the 98a3 are intended exclusively for users aged 18 and over. The platform does not intentionally collect or process personal data from minors. Registration requires a date of birth that is verified against the CPF provided, and any account created with a minor's details is closed immediately upon identification.

Legal guardians who identify unauthorized use of the platform by a minor must contact us immediately at privacidade@98a3.net. The 98a3 will take the necessary steps to close the account and delete the data collected, as well as return any deposited funds to the legal guardian upon proof of guardianship.

If a minor attempts to create an account using an adult's information, this constitutes a violation of the platform's Terms and Conditions. 98a3 has monitoring systems in place to identify usage patterns inconsistent with the profile declared at registration.

11. International Data Transfers

Some technical partners of the 98a3 — such as cloud infrastructure providers and international game suppliers — may process data on servers located outside Brazil. 98a3 ensures these transfers only occur to countries or organizations that offer an adequate level of data protection, or under contractual instruments that uphold the same standards as the LGPD.

International transfers made by the 98a3 fall under one of the following bases:

  • Countries whose level of data protection has been recognized as adequate by the ANPD;
  • Standard contractual clauses imposing data protection obligations equivalent to those of the LGPD;
  • Internationally recognized compliance certifications (such as ISO 27001);
  • Strictly limited to what is necessary to perform the contract with the user (such as processing a bet on an international provider's server).

You may request information about specific international transfers involving your data by emailing privacidade@98a3.net.

12. Changes to This Policy

The 98a3 may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in Brazilian law, our data processing practices, or our services. Material changes — those that significantly affect data subjects' rights or how we use your data — will be communicated at least 15 days in advance by email to your registered address and via a prominent notice on the platform.

Non-material changes (such as language corrections, section reorganization, or clarifications that do not alter the substance of the practices described) may be published without prior notice. The last updated date shown at the top of this page allows you to track the history of changes.

Continued use of the platform after material changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you disagree with the changes, you may close your account and request deletion of your data as described in Section 9.

13. Contact, DPO & ANPD Communication Channel

The 98a3 has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to serve as the official point of contact on all matters related to personal data processing. The DPO is responsible for:

  • Receive and respond to data subject requests;
  • Guide the internal team on LGPD obligations;
  • Serve as the communication channel with the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD);
  • Receive security incident notifications and coordinate the response.

Data Protection Officer (DPO) Contact: privacidade@98a3.net

General support: suporte@98a3.net or live chat on the site, available 24 hours a day in Portuguese.

Response time: 98a3 responds to all data subject requests within 15 business days of identity confirmation. Urgent requests related to security breaches are handled within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Privacy at 98a3

The questions our DPO receives most often about data protection

No. 98a3 does not sell, rent, or transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Data is only shared with partners that are directly involved in our operations — such as payment processors (to handle your Pix or boleto), game providers (to authenticate your session), and infrastructure services — all bound by confidentiality agreements and data protection obligations equivalent to those of the LGPD. If you receive communications from third parties claiming to have obtained your data from 98a3, that is not true — contact us immediately so we can investigate.

Yes, with certain exceptions provided by law. Upon a deletion request, 98a3 will erase all information that does not need to be retained under a legal obligation. Financial transaction data must be kept for 5 years in accordance with Banco Central do Brasil regulations and anti-money laundering rules — this retention does not depend on consent. Self-exclusion data is also retained for at least 5 years to ensure the block remains in effect. Everything outside these categories is deleted within 30 days of the request.

If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact support immediately via live chat. 98a3 will proactively block the account for investigation, notify you by email, and begin an access log review. If the incident involves other users' personal data or poses a significant risk, we will notify the ANPD within 72 hours as required by the LGPD. To help prevent unauthorized access, we recommend enabling two-factor authentication in your account security settings — this feature is available free of charge to all registered users.

Betting history is used internally by 98a3 to personalize your experience on the platform — such as recommending games similar to your preferences or sending promotions aligned with the type of bets you place (for example, Sports Betting free bets if you wager on the Brasileirão). This use is based on legitimate interest and the marketing communications consent you provided at registration. Your betting data is never shared with external advertising platforms or third-party ad networks.

98a3 and the LGPD: Why Privacy is a Priority, Not an Obligation

When the 98a3 was founded, one of the first structural decisions was how to handle Brazilian players' data. Rather than collecting as much information as possible and treating it as a commercial asset — a common practice in parts of the online entertainment industry — the decision was the opposite: collect only what is necessary, clearly explain why, and give users real control over their own information.

This commitment did not emerge solely from the General Data Protection Law coming into force in 2020. It existed before that as a core platform value, and the LGPD simply formalized — in law — what the 98a3 already understood as the right approach. A player who deposits via Pix, shares their CPF for verification, or provides their address for security purposes is entrusting sensitive data to a company. That trust must be met with responsible practices, genuine transparency, and tools that put the user in control.

In practice, this means that when you sign up on 98a3, the data you provide has a defined purpose before it is even collected. Your CPF is for identity verification and regulatory compliance — not to build an advertising profile. Your betting history is to personalize your experience in the VIP Program — not to be sold to data brokers or advertising platforms. Your mobile number is for communications from the platform itself — not to be added to third-party lists.

The identity verification process (KYC) is where privacy concerns tend to feel most tangible. When the 98a3 asks for a photo ID and proof of address — not to make things difficult for players, but because it is a legal requirement tied to anti-money laundering obligations that the platform holds toward the Brazilian financial system. These documents are stored in encrypted form, accessed only by staff whose specific role requires it, and deleted once the legally required retention period ends. They do not circulate freely within the company.

The technical security of information at the 98a3 follows industry-standard financial security practices: 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption on all communications, encryption at rest for sensitive data in databases, two-factor authentication available to all users, and continuous monitoring for suspicious access attempts. When the platform detects an intrusion attempt, the system responds automatically — the user receives an alert and, in serious cases, the account is preventively locked until security is confirmed.

The 98a3 has a formally appointed Data Protection Officer (DPO), as required by the LGPD for data controllers that process data at scale. This professional is the official point of contact for any privacy matter — whether a request to access your own data, a question about how specific information is used, or a report of misuse. The channel is privacidade@98a3.net and all requests receive a substantiated response within 15 business days, in Portuguese.

For those who use the 98a3 on mobile — which describes the majority of Brazilian players, given how widely the smartphone has been adopted as the primary device for internet access in the country — the Privacy Policy applies to the app in exactly the same way as the website. Cookies in the app work similarly to those on the site, with the difference that mobile device identifiers are used instead of traditional cookies. The logic is the same: essential cookies for functionality, analytics cookies for improvement, and marketing cookies only with consent.

Transparency means this Policy is not a document buried in a footer that nobody reads. The 98a3 makes it accessible, writes in language that Brazilian players understand, and updates it whenever practices change — with 15 days' prior notice for material changes. If you have questions, there is a place to ask them. If you disagree with something, you have options — close your account, withdraw specific consents, or request deletion of the data the law allows to be removed. That is the standard 98a3 sets out to meet, not as a marketing exercise, but as real, day-to-day operational practice.
