pak356 Privacy Policy

pak356 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") operates the informational gaming website accessible at pak356.cam. We are committed to protecting and respecting the privacy of every individual who accesses our Platform ("you", "your", "User"). This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the pak356 Platform, including visitors browsing our informational content, users engaging with interactive features, and individuals who contact us directly. It applies regardless of the device or location from which you access the Platform, including from Pakistan or any other country.

This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions, which govern the general use of the Platform, and our Responsible Gambling guidance. Together, these documents form the complete framework governing your relationship with pak356.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following definitions apply:

• "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including but not limited to name, email address, IP address, location data or device identifiers.
• "Processing" means any operation performed on personal data, including collection, storage, use, transmission, alteration, deletion or any combination thereof.
• "Data Controller" means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data — in this context, pak356.
• "Data Processor" means any third party that processes personal data on behalf of pak356, such as analytics service providers or hosting infrastructure providers.
• "Cookies" means small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website, used to retain session information and user preferences.
• "Consent" means a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of a User's agreement to the processing of their personal data for a stated purpose.
• "Retention Period" means the duration for which pak356 stores personal data before it is securely deleted or anonymised.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected and processed in connection with your use of the pak356 Platform. It covers data collected through:

• Direct browsing of pages on pak356.cam;
• Use of interactive features such as navigational tools and content filters;
• Communications you initiate with pak356 via email or other contact channels;
• Automated technical data collection through cookies, server logs and analytics tools.

This policy does not apply to third-party websites, platforms or services that may be described or referenced in pak356's informational content. Users who navigate to third-party Operator websites are subject to those platforms' own privacy policies, over which pak356 has no control and for which it accepts no responsibility.

pak356 collects a limited set of data categories in the course of operating its informational platform. The following table summarises the categories of data we may collect, the source of that data and the general purpose for which it is collected.

pak356 does not collect the following categories of data: payment card details, bank account information, national identity numbers, biometric data, health data, gambling transaction history or any special category personal data as defined under applicable data protection legislation.

Data is collected through two principal channels:

• Automated collection: When you access the pak356 Platform, our web servers and analytics tools automatically record technical and usage data. This includes your IP address, device type, browser configuration, the pages you visit and the duration of your session. This collection occurs through server-side logging and through cookies or similar technologies placed on your device.
• Data you provide directly: When you contact pak356 via email — for example, to submit an enquiry, report a content issue or request information — you voluntarily provide personal data such as your name and email address. We process this data solely for the purpose of responding to your communication.

pak356 processes personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The legal bases we rely upon are as follows:

• Legitimate interests: The processing of technical and usage data is carried out on the basis of pak356's legitimate interests in maintaining a secure, functional and high-quality informational platform. We have balanced these interests against the privacy interests of users and are satisfied that they do not override users' fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Where non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are used, we rely on your consent, which is sought at the point of first accessing the Platform. You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings.
• Contractual necessity: Where you contact us directly by email, processing of the data you provide is necessary to respond to your communication and fulfil our obligation to address your enquiry.
• Compliance with legal obligations: Where we are required by applicable law to retain or disclose data, we will do so to the extent strictly required.

Personal data collected by pak356 is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Platform delivery: To serve web pages, ensure correct rendering on your device and maintain Platform functionality;
• Security and integrity: To detect, prevent and investigate fraud, abuse, unauthorised access and other security threats to the Platform;
• Analytics and improvement: To understand aggregated user behaviour, identify content areas requiring improvement, and optimise the Platform's information architecture and performance;
• Communication: To respond to enquiries, support requests and feedback submitted to us by email;
• Legal compliance: To fulfil obligations imposed by applicable law, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities;
• Jurisdictional compliance: To serve content appropriate to the user's geographic location and to apply any necessary access restrictions based on jurisdictional requirements.

pak356 uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation of the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the Platform to recognise your device on subsequent visits and retain certain preferences.

pak356 uses the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Platform to function correctly. They include session management cookies and security tokens. They cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies: These help us understand how users interact with the Platform by collecting aggregated, anonymised data on page views, session duration and navigation paths. We use this information solely to improve Platform content and performance.
• Preference cookies: These remember choices you have made — such as your acceptance of cookie consent notices — to improve your experience on return visits.

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings menus. Please note that blocking all cookies may impair the usability of the Platform. For specific instructions on managing cookies, refer to your browser's help documentation.

pak356 does not sell, rent or trade personal data. Data is shared with third parties only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers — including web hosting providers, content delivery networks and analytics platforms — who process data on our behalf solely for the purposes of operating and improving the Platform. These providers are bound by contractual data processing obligations consistent with applicable data protection standards.
• Legal obligations: We may disclose personal data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory requirement or lawful request from a competent authority. We will notify affected users where legally permitted to do so.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of pak356's assets, personal data held by pak356 may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
• Protection of rights: We may share data where we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of pak356, our users or the public.

As an online platform, pak356 may use infrastructure — including hosting servers and analytics services — that are located outside of Pakistan. This means that personal data collected from users in Pakistan may be transferred to, stored or processed in countries outside Pakistan.

Where data is transferred internationally, pak356 takes reasonable steps to ensure that adequate protections are in place, including through the use of contractual safeguards with service providers. Users accessing the Platform from Pakistan acknowledge that their data may be processed in jurisdictions with different data protection standards to those applicable in Pakistan.

If you have questions about the specific countries to which your data may be transferred or the safeguards in place, please contact us using the details in Section 17.

pak356 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention principles apply:

• Technical and usage data: Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 26 months for trend analysis and platform improvement purposes. Raw server log data is retained for a shorter period, typically 30–90 days, for security and operational purposes.
• Communication data: Email communications and associated personal data are retained for the period necessary to resolve the relevant enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, typically not exceeding 12 months, unless a longer period is required for legal compliance.
• Cookie data: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire at the interval specified at the time of placement, which is typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on the cookie category.

When personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an individual.

pak356 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between users and the Platform;
• Restricted access controls ensuring only authorised personnel can access stored data;
• Regular review of access privileges and security configurations;
• Use of reputable, security-audited third-party infrastructure providers;
• Monitoring of Platform activity for suspicious patterns or potential security incidents.

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by pak356. These rights may be exercised by contacting us using the details provided in Section 17.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at the email address provided in Section 17. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may require identity verification before processing certain requests.

The pak356 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or licence jurisdiction. pak356 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

We encourage parents and guardians in Pakistan and elsewhere to supervise their children's online activity and to use appropriate parental control software to prevent access to gambling-related content.

The pak356 Platform may contain informational references to third-party platforms, including online casino Operators, payment service providers and sports organisations. While pak356 takes care to describe these accurately in its editorial content, we have no control over and accept no responsibility for the privacy practices, data collection or content of any third-party website or service.

If you navigate to a third-party platform — whether from a reference in pak356's content or otherwise — your interaction with that platform is governed exclusively by its own privacy policy and terms of service. pak356 expressly disclaims all responsibility for the data practices of third-party Operators, payment providers (including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah) and sports organisations (including PCB, PSL and ICC).

We recommend that users review the privacy policies of any platform they visit before providing personal data or making financial transactions.

pak356 reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, our data processing practices, or the nature of the Platform's services. When material amendments are made, the "Last reviewed" date displayed in the sidebar of this page will be updated accordingly.

We encourage all users to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data. Your continued use of the pak356 Platform following the publication of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement and acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data by pak356, please contact us using the details below. All correspondence should be in English. Please note that contact details are displayed as plain text only and are not clickable links.

pak356 is not in a position to assist with gambling-related disputes, withdrawal queries or account issues relating to third-party Operators. For such matters, please contact the relevant Operator directly through their official support channels.
