Privacy Policy — How pak224 Protects Your Data

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by pak224 ("pak224", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online gaming platform accessible at pak224.net. It describes how pak224 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you", "your", "User", "Player") who visit the pak224 website or register an account with the Platform.

pak224 is committed to protecting the privacy of all its players — particularly those across Pakistan who entrust us with their personal and financial information in order to access our live casino, cricket betting, slot, and instant game services. We process personal data in accordance with internationally recognised data protection principles and the requirements of our international gaming licence.

This Policy should be read together with pak224's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, all of which together form the full agreement between you and pak224. This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the pak224 website, mobile browser interface, live chat system, email correspondence, and any other channel through which you interact with pak224.

pak224 collects the following categories of personal data from players and website visitors:

2.1 Identity & Registration Data

When you create a pak224 account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, gender, nationality, and a username of your choosing. This information is required to establish your account, verify your eligibility to play (including the 21+ age requirement), and fulfil our KYC obligations under our international gaming licence.

2.2 Contact Data

We collect your email address, mobile phone number, and residential address (including city, province, and postcode) at the time of registration. This data is used for account communication, identity verification, responsible gaming outreach, and — where you have opted in — promotional correspondence.

2.3 Financial & Payment Data

To process deposits and withdrawals, pak224 collects data relating to your payment methods, including JazzCash account numbers, EasyPaisa wallet identifiers, bank account details (HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank), and partial card numbers (Visa/Mastercard). Full card numbers are never stored on pak224's servers; payment processing is handled by certified third-party payment processors.

2.4 Identity Verification Documents

As part of our KYC process, we may collect copies of your CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card), passport, driving licence, utility bills, bank statements, and other documents submitted to verify your identity, address, or source of funds.

2.5 Gaming & Transaction Data

pak224 automatically records all gaming activity on your account, including game sessions, bet amounts, game outcomes, win and loss history, bonus redemptions, deposit and withdrawal transactions, and account balance changes. This data is retained for regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.

2.6 Technical & Usage Data

When you access the pak224 Platform, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, screen resolution, session duration, pages visited, and clickstream data. This information is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and Platform performance optimisation.

2.7 Communications Data

If you contact pak224 via live chat, email, or any other support channel, we retain records of those communications, including the content of messages, timestamps, and agent notes, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.

pak224 collects personal data through the following channels and mechanisms:

• Directly from you: When you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact support, participate in a promotion, or update your account profile.
• Automatically through the Platform: Via cookies, web beacons, server logs, and similar tracking technologies that operate when you access and interact with the pak224 website.
• From payment processors: When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, our payment partners share transaction confirmation data and, where required by AML obligations, additional payment source information.
• From identity verification services: pak224 may use third-party KYC and identity verification providers to cross-reference the documents and information you supply. These providers may return verification status data and risk flags to pak224.
• From responsible gaming partners: Where you have been registered with a national or international self-exclusion scheme, pak224 may receive notification of your exclusion status in order to enforce exclusion obligations.

pak224 uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes:

• Account Management: To create, maintain, and administer your pak224 account, process your login sessions, and manage your account preferences and settings.
• Identity & Age Verification: To confirm that you are who you say you are and that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years to hold a pak224 account. pak224 enforces this requirement without exception.
• Payment Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Visa, and Mastercard, and to reconcile your account balance accurately.
• Regulatory Compliance: To fulfil pak224's obligations under its international gaming licence, including anti-money laundering (AML) checks, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and sanctions list screening.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming patterns for indicators of problem gambling behaviour, enforce deposit and loss limits you have set, action self-exclusion requests, and proactively reach out to players who may be at risk.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent unauthorised account access, fraudulent transactions, bonus abuse, collusion, and any other activity that violates pak224's Terms & Conditions.
• Customer Support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, investigate complaints, and maintain records of your interactions with the pak224 support team.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse aggregated usage data and improve the performance, design, and feature set of the pak224 Platform. This analysis uses anonymised or aggregated data wherever possible.
• Marketing & Promotions (opted-in only): To send you personalised bonus offers, promotional emails, and SMS notifications — but only where you have explicitly opted in to receive such communications. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

pak224 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the purpose of processing:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing your identity data, contact data, financial data, and gaming data is necessary to fulfil pak224's contractual obligations to you as a registered account holder — specifically, to operate your account, process payments, and deliver the gaming services you have signed up for.
• Legal Obligation: pak224 is required by the terms of its international gaming licence to carry out KYC verification, AML screening, and responsible gaming monitoring. Processing personal data for these purposes is not optional — it is a legal obligation.
• Legitimate Interests: pak224 processes technical and usage data on the basis of its legitimate interest in maintaining the security, integrity, and performance of the Platform, and in detecting and preventing fraudulent activity that could harm players and the business.
• Consent: Where pak224 relies on consent as the legal basis for processing — primarily for marketing communications and optional analytics cookies — you are free to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting your ability to use the Platform.

pak224 does not sell your personal data. We share your data only where necessary, with the following categories of trusted third parties:

6.1 Payment Processors

To process deposits and withdrawals, pak224 shares the minimum necessary payment data with licensed payment processing partners, including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and banking partners (HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank) and international card networks (Visa, Mastercard). These processors are bound by their own privacy and security standards and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than transaction processing.

6.2 Game Software Providers

pak224 uses certified third-party software providers to deliver its live casino, slot, keno, cricket betting, and Ezugi live game content. These providers receive session tokens and anonymised player identifiers to manage game sessions but do not receive your full personal profile unless strictly required for the specific service.

6.3 KYC & Compliance Providers

pak224 works with specialist KYC verification, AML screening, and fraud detection service providers. Identity documents and verification data shared with these providers are processed solely for compliance purposes and are subject to strict data processing agreements.

6.4 Regulatory & Law Enforcement Authorities

pak224 is legally required to disclose personal data to its licensing authority, financial intelligence units, and law enforcement agencies where required by law, court order, or regulatory instruction. pak224 will comply with such requests without advance notification to the account holder where legally prohibited from doing so.

6.5 Corporate Transactions

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of pak224's business assets, personal data held by pak224 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Affected players will be notified in advance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

pak224 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform effectively, recognise returning users, maintain session security, and — where consented — deliver personalised content and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

7.1 Types of Cookies Used

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as secure login sessions, account navigation, and balance display. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as language settings, preferred game categories, and notification settings — so you do not need to re-enter them each session.
• Analytics Cookies: With your consent, pak224 uses analytics cookies to understand how players use the Platform — which pages are most visited, where players drop off, and how features are used. This data is aggregated and used solely to improve the Platform experience.
• Marketing Cookies: With your consent, pak224 may use cookies to track which promotions you have seen and to personalise bonus offers shown to you. pak224 does not use your data for cross-site advertising on third-party platforms.

7.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences through pak224's cookie consent banner, which appears on your first visit. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the Platform. Detailed instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available through your browser's help documentation.

pak224 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data in transit between your browser and pak224's servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols.
• At-Rest Encryption: Sensitive personal data stored in pak224's databases — including identity documents and payment data — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. pak224 employees are granted data access only to the extent required to perform their specific job functions.
• Two-Factor Authentication: pak224's internal administrative systems require multi-factor authentication for all staff accessing player data.
• Penetration Testing & Security Audits: pak224's Platform and data infrastructure are subject to regular independent security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Incident Response: pak224 maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a breach affecting your personal data, pak224 will notify you and the relevant regulatory authority within the timeframes required by applicable law.

pak224 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following specific retention guidelines:

• Active Account Data: All personal data associated with an active pak224 account is retained for the duration of the account's existence plus a post-closure period as required by regulatory obligations.
• KYC & Identity Documents: Identity verification documents are retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to our international gaming licence.
• Financial Transaction Records: Deposit, withdrawal, and gaming transaction records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the date of each transaction.
• Support Communications: Records of live chat and email interactions with pak224's support team are retained for three (3) years from the date of each interaction.
• Marketing Consent Records: Where you have opted in to receive marketing communications, pak224 retains a record of that consent for as long as you remain opted in, plus a reasonable period thereafter for compliance purposes.
• Self-Exclusion Records: Records relating to responsible gaming actions, including self-exclusion periods and limit-setting history, are retained for a minimum of five (5) years to ensure compliance with responsible gaming obligations.

Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual.

As a pak224 player, you hold the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].

pak224 operates an online gambling platform that is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. pak224 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21, and the Platform is not directed at, designed for, or intended to be used by minors under any circumstances.

As part of our registration process, all applicants are required to confirm their date of birth and submit valid identity documentation to verify their age before their account is activated. Any account found to have been created by a person under the age of 21, or with falsified age information, will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter will be escalated in accordance with our responsible gaming and compliance procedures.

pak224 supports industry-recognised parental control and internet filtering tools that can be configured to block access to online gambling platforms. Parents and guardians in Pakistan are encouraged to use such tools to ensure minors cannot access gambling content on shared or household devices.

The pak224 Platform does not intentionally include links to third-party websites for general browsing purposes. However, in certain informational contexts — such as responsible gaming resources or payment provider help pages — references to third-party services may occasionally appear. pak224 is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data collection activities of any third-party websites or services.

If you navigate away from pak224.net to any third-party website, that site's own privacy policy will govern the collection and use of your data. pak224 strongly encourages you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit before providing any personal information.

pak224 has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content or privacy practices of third-party payment processors' own websites or customer-facing portals. When using JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL internet banking, UBL digital services, or any other payment platform to fund your pak224 account, those interactions are governed by the respective provider's own terms and privacy policy.

pak224 reserves the right to amend, update, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes may be made to reflect updates to our services, changes in applicable data protection law, new regulatory requirements under our gaming licence, or improvements to our data handling practices.

When material changes are made to this Policy, pak224 will notify active account holders via email to the address registered on their account, and will display a prominent notice on the Platform for a reasonable period following the change. The updated Policy will be published at pak224.net/privacy-policy with the revised effective date clearly indicated at the top of the document.

Your continued use of the pak224 Platform following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you should cease using the Platform and contact our support team to request account closure.

pak224 takes its data protection responsibilities seriously and welcomes all privacy-related enquiries, data rights requests, and complaints. If you have any question about how pak224 handles your personal data, or if you wish to exercise any of the rights described in Section 10, please contact us through one of the following channels:

• Live Chat: Available directly on the pak224 Platform — the fastest way to raise a privacy query or initiate a data rights request.
• Email: [email protected] — for formal data rights requests, complaints, or any matter requiring written correspondence. Please include "Privacy Request" or "Data Rights" in your subject line so your message is routed to the appropriate team member promptly.

pak224 will acknowledge all privacy-related communications within 48 hours and aims to provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days. For complex requests, we may require an additional 30-day extension, of which we will notify you.

If you are not satisfied with pak224's response to a privacy complaint or data rights request, you have the right to escalate the matter to the relevant data protection supervisory authority or the dispute resolution body associated with pak224's international gaming licence for independent review.
