6. Data Processing and Legal Basis

pk567 processes Personal Data on the following legal bases:

6.1 Legitimate Interests

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

7.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or which pages you visited — to make your next visit easier and the site more useful.

7.2 Types of Cookies Used by pk567

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Site to function correctly. These cannot be disabled without affecting core site functionality.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are most visited, where users navigate from and how long they stay. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
• Functional Cookies: Remember user preferences such as display settings, reducing the need to re-select options on return visits.

7.3 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Browser-specific guidance is available through your browser's help documentation.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

8.1 Service Providers

pk567 may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the Site, such as web hosting providers, content delivery networks and analytics platforms. These providers act as Data Processors and are contractually bound to process data only on pk567's instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

8.2 Legal Obligations

pk567 may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by law, court order, regulatory authority or governmental body — including where required under Pakistani law such as the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 (PECA) or lawful requests from competent authorities.

8.3 No Sale of Data

pk567 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer Personal Data to third parties for their own commercial or marketing purposes. Any commercial relationships we maintain with third-party operators are governed by separate commercial agreements that do not involve the transfer of individual User data.

8.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets involving pk567, User data may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, we will endeavour to notify Users and ensure that appropriate data protection measures are maintained.

9. Data Retention

pk567 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. Our general retention approach is as follows:

• Server log data: Retained for up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted or anonymised.
• Analytics data: Retained in aggregated, anonymised form for up to 26 months for content performance analysis.
• Contact and support communications: Retained for up to 12 months from last contact, or longer where required to resolve an ongoing query or meet a legal obligation.
• Cookie data: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire as specified in their individual settings, typically within 12 months.

Once data is no longer required, we apply appropriate deletion or anonymisation procedures to ensure it cannot be linked back to individual users.

10. Data Security

pk567 implements reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure or destruction. These include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Site;
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of data handling procedures and security configurations;
• Use of reputable, security-audited hosting and infrastructure providers.

11. User Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to Personal Data held by pk567. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 16.

We will respond to rights requests within a reasonable timeframe — typically within 30 days of receipt. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing a request. We will not charge a fee for rights requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

12. Children's Privacy

pk567 is strictly an adults-only website. Access is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator's license jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the applicable minimum age.

If we become aware that Personal Data has been collected from a person under the applicable minimum age without verified parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data. If you believe a minor has provided data to pk567, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 16.

13. Pakistan Privacy Context

pk567 serves users across Pakistan — including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. Pakistani users should be aware of the following:

• Pakistan's Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 (PECA) and associated regulations govern aspects of digital data handling and online privacy in Pakistan. pk567 endeavours to operate in a manner consistent with applicable Pakistani digital law.
• pk567 is not registered with or regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority or any other Pakistani governmental body in the context of data protection.
• References to payment services including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah are contextual educational references only. pk567 does not process payments through those services and does not share User data with those providers.
• Users in Pakistan retain the right to contact relevant Pakistani authorities if they believe their privacy rights have been violated, without prejudice to any rights set out in this Policy.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

pk567's educational content may reference third-party gambling operators, payment providers and sports organisations. These references are for contextual educational purposes only. pk567 does not control the privacy practices of any third-party website or service and accepts no responsibility for their data collection or processing activities.

If you choose to visit or register with a third-party operator referenced in pk567's content, that operator's own privacy policy will govern the handling of your Personal Data. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any platform you choose to use before providing personal or financial information.

15. Policy Amendments

pk567 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your data.

Your continued use of the Site following any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with the amended Policy, you must discontinue use of the Site.
