Privacy Policy —
pka365 Data Protection Statement

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how pka365 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, discloses and protects personal information obtained from users ("you", "your") who access or use the pka365 website at https://pka365.cam.

pka365 is an independent, English-language information and editorial platform serving Pakistani users with content about online sports betting, casino games and responsible gambling. We are not a gambling operator and do not process bets or financial transactions on behalf of users.

By accessing or using the pka365 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, you must discontinue your use of the Platform.

We do not purchase personal data lists from third parties or collect data through deceptive means. All data collection is proportionate to the purposes described in this Policy.

pka365 processes personal data only for the purposes described below and only where there is a legitimate basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

5.1 Legitimate Interests

We process technical and analytics data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a functional and secure website, understanding how our content is used, and improving the experience for Pakistani users. We ensure these interests are balanced against users' privacy rights.

5.2 Contractual Necessity

Where you contact us directly, we process your communications data to the extent necessary to respond to your query and provide support.

5.3 Consent

Where we rely on consent as a legal basis (for example, in relation to non-essential cookies), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5.4 Compliance with Legal Obligations

We may process data where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities.

pka365 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support core Platform functionality and to understand how users interact with our content. The following categories of cookies may be active on this Platform:

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most modern browsers allow you to:

• View and delete existing cookies stored by any website;
• Block all cookies, or cookies from specific websites;
• Set your browser to notify you when a website attempts to set a cookie.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the pka365 Platform. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser — please consult your browser's help documentation for specific guidance.

pka365 does not sell, rent or commercially trade your personal data. We may share data only in the limited circumstances described below:

7.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

We engage trusted third-party service providers to assist with operating the Platform. These may include web hosting providers, content delivery networks and analytics platforms. Such providers process data only on our instructions and under contractual agreements that require appropriate data protection standards.

7.2 Legal Obligations

We may disclose personal data where required by law, court order, or lawful request by a competent authority. We will, where legally permissible, notify you of such requests.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of assets involving pka365, personal data held by us may be transferred to the relevant successor entity. Affected users will be notified of any such transfer and any material changes to how their data is handled.

7.4 No Third-Party Marketing

pka365 does not share personal data with third-party gambling operators, advertisers or marketing networks for direct marketing purposes. Payment-provider names referenced on this Platform (Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah) are used for editorial context only — we do not share user data with these organisations.

pka365 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data management procedures.

pka365 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration and disclosure.

Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

• HTTPS/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and pka365 is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. You can verify this by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
• Access Controls: Internal access to data is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis.
• Secure Hosting: The Platform is hosted on infrastructure that maintains industry-standard physical and logical security controls.
• Regular Security Reviews: We periodically assess our security practices to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of electronic transmission or data storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. If you believe your interaction with pka365 has been compromised, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. pka365 respects these rights and will respond to valid requests in a timely manner. The following rights may apply to you:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your request and respond within 30 days. In complex cases this may be extended by a further 60 days, with notice to you.

We may ask for reasonable proof of identity before processing a data rights request, to ensure we do not disclose personal data to an unauthorised party.

The pka365 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and above, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or license jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect, use or store personal data relating to minors.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the minimum age threshold, we will take immediate steps to delete such data from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

We do not produce, publish or maintain any content targeting or intended to appeal to minors. This applies throughout our Platform, including all betting guides, casino content and responsible gambling materials.

pka365 may use third-party service providers to support Platform operations, including analytics services and content delivery infrastructure. These providers may process limited technical data (such as anonymised IP addresses or browser information) as part of their service delivery.

Any third-party providers engaged by pka365 are required to implement appropriate data protection measures and to process personal data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection law.

pka365's Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, platforms or services referenced in our editorial content. Users who access third-party betting or casino platforms through information found on pka365 should review those platforms' own privacy policies and data practices independently. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the data practices of third-party operators.

pka365 operates as a digital platform accessible internationally, including in Pakistan. Data collected through the Platform may be processed or stored on servers located in jurisdictions other than your country of residence. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data.

pka365 is an information platform, not a financial or gambling services provider. The limited technical data we collect (primarily anonymised analytics and server log data) does not constitute sensitive financial or identity information and does not require the same level of transfer controls as data processed by regulated financial or gambling entities.

Pakistan does not currently maintain a comprehensive data transfer restriction framework equivalent to the EU's GDPR. Where we engage data processors located outside Pakistan, we aim to apply data protection standards consistent with internationally recognised best practices.

pka365 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Platform following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how we handle your data. Material changes — those that significantly affect your privacy rights or how we process your data — will be highlighted on the Platform where reasonably practicable.

If you have concerns about any changes to this Policy, please contact us before continuing to use the Platform. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should discontinue use of pka365.

If you have questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, please contact the pka365 team using the details below. We will make every effort to respond promptly and fully to all privacy-related queries.
