In certain limited circumstances, pkt888 may receive personal data about you from third-party sources, such as analytics service providers, fraud prevention services or advertising partners.

pkt888 relies on the following legal bases for the processing of personal data:

7.1 Consent

Where you have given your explicit, freely given and informed consent to specific processing activities — such as the use of non-essential cookies, the receipt of marketing communications, or voluntary submission of personal data through contact forms — pkt888 processes your data on the basis of that consent. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. To withdraw consent, please contact us using the details in Section 17.

7.2 Contractual Necessity

Certain processing activities are necessary to perform our contractual obligations to you — specifically, the provision of access to the Platform and its features, the management of your registered account, and the delivery of support services you have requested.

7.3 Legitimate Interests

pkt888 processes certain categories of personal data on the basis of its legitimate interests in operating a safe, functional and effective platform. This includes analytics processing to improve Platform performance, security measures to detect and prevent fraud or misuse, and internal record-keeping. We ensure that our legitimate interests are proportionate and do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

7.4 Legal Obligation

In certain circumstances, pkt888 may be required to process personal data to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to a lawful request from a competent authority, complying with anti-money laundering regulations, or meeting applicable data retention requirements.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

pkt888 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your personal data with unaffiliated commercial third parties for their independent marketing or promotional use without your explicit consent. Personal data may be disclosed in the following limited circumstances:

8.1 Service Providers and Processors

pkt888 may engage carefully selected third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf and under our instruction. These include web hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics platforms, email delivery services and customer support tooling. All such processors are contractually bound to process data only in accordance with our documented instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection requirements.

8.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

pkt888 may disclose personal data where required to do so by law, court order, regulatory authority or other competent government body. We may also disclose personal data where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, protect the rights or safety of pkt888, its users or third parties, or to enforce our Terms & Conditions.

8.3 Business Transfers

In the event that pkt888 undergoes a merger, acquisition, asset sale or other corporate restructuring, personal data held by pkt888 may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, pkt888 will take reasonable steps to ensure the continued protection of your personal data and will notify affected users as appropriate.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

pkt888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable core functionality, help us understand how users interact with our content, and allow us to personalise your experience over time.

9.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as navigation, session management and access to secure areas of the Platform. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use the Platform.
• Analytics Cookies: These cookies help pkt888 understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting anonymised information about page visits, time on site, bounce rates and traffic sources. This data is used exclusively to improve Platform performance and content quality.
• Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your settings and preferences — such as language selections and regional settings — to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
• Marketing Cookies: Where you have provided consent, these cookies track your browsing behaviour to enable relevant content and promotional information to be presented. You may withdraw your consent to marketing cookies at any time.

9.2 Managing Cookies

You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies already stored on your device. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. For detailed guidance on cookie management, refer to the help documentation for your specific browser.

10. Data Retention

pkt888 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:

• Account Data: Retained for the duration of your registered account and for a reasonable period following account closure, sufficient to resolve any outstanding disputes, comply with legal obligations or address legitimate business requirements.
• Communications Data: Support correspondence and contact form submissions are retained for a period sufficient to resolve the matter in question and maintain adequate records of interactions.
• Analytics Data: Anonymised or aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it does not constitute personal data. Non-anonymised analytics data is subject to periodic review and deletion in accordance with our data retention schedule.
• Legal Hold: Where personal data is subject to a legal hold — for example, in connection with ongoing litigation, regulatory investigation or statutory retention requirement — that data will be retained for the duration of the hold regardless of the normal retention period.

When personal data is no longer required for its original purpose and no legal basis for continued retention exists, pkt888 will securely delete or anonymise that data in a manner consistent with applicable security standards.

11. Data Security

pkt888 implements appropriate technical and organisational 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 your browser and the Platform's servers;
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms limiting data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability reviews of Platform infrastructure;
• Secure data storage practices with restricted physical and logical access;
• Staff training and awareness on data protection obligations and incident response procedures.

Notwithstanding the above, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. pkt888 cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or stored on the Platform and cannot be held responsible for any breach that occurs as a result of circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, pkt888 will notify affected data subjects in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

12. Your Data Subject Rights

Subject to applicable law, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data held by pkt888. These rights may be exercised by contacting us at the email address provided in Section 17. We will respond to valid requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 calendar days of receipt.

12.1 Right of Access

You have the right to request confirmation of whether pkt888 processes personal data about you, and if so, to receive a copy of that personal data together with information about the purposes of processing, the categories of data involved, and the recipients to whom it has been or may be disclosed.

12.2 Right to Rectification

You have the right to request the correction of any inaccurate personal data held about you, and the right to have incomplete personal data completed. We will take reasonable steps to verify the accuracy of data before rectifying it.

12.3 Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten")

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data where: the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; you withdraw consent on which processing was based; you object to processing and no overriding legitimate interests exist; or the data has been unlawfully processed. This right is subject to exceptions where retention is required for legal compliance or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

12.4 Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that pkt888 restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where you contest the accuracy of the data, where processing is unlawful, or where you have objected to processing and a determination is pending.

12.5 Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to request that we transmit that data directly to another controller where technically feasible.

12.6 Right to Object

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, pkt888 will cease processing your data for that purpose immediately upon receipt of your objection.

12.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal. To withdraw consent, please contact us as described in Section 17 or, for cookie consent, adjust your browser settings as described in Section 9.2.

13. Protection of Minors

The pkt888 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years and over — or the higher minimum age required by applicable law or the licence conditions of any Operator whose services are described on the Platform. pkt888 does not knowingly collect, process or retain personal data from individuals who are under the minimum required age.

If pkt888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a minor without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our records. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided personal data to pkt888 without appropriate consent, please notify us immediately at the contact address provided in Section 17.

14. Pakistan-Specific Context

pkt888 is designed and operated as an English-language information platform primarily serving users in Pakistan and other jurisdictions where accessing gaming information is lawful. We recognise the specific context of our Pakistani user base and address the following relevant considerations:

14.1 Applicable Law

Pakistan's data protection landscape is governed in part by the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 (PECA) and related regulatory instruments. pkt888 acknowledges the importance of compliance with applicable Pakistani law to the extent relevant to our operations. However, pkt888 does not claim to hold any Pakistani government authorisation or endorsement, and does not provide legal advice to Pakistani users.

14.2 Payment Method References

References on the pkt888 Platform to payment services familiar to Pakistani users — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — are provided for informational context only. pkt888 does not collect, process or transmit user credentials, account numbers or financial data related to any such service. No relationship, partnership or data-sharing arrangement is implied with any named payment provider.

14.3 Cross-Border Data Transfers

As pkt888 does not operate from a Pakistani data centre, your personal data may be processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. pkt888 applies appropriate data protection safeguards to all cross-border transfers, including contractual protections with service providers that process data on our behalf.

15. Third-Party Platforms and Links

The pkt888 Platform may contain informational references to or descriptions of third-party operators, game platforms and payment services. These references do not constitute hyperlinks to external websites from within the main navigation or content areas of the Platform, and pkt888 does not endorse any third-party platform or its data practices.

Where you choose to access a third-party operator's platform based on information provided on pkt888, your interaction with that platform — including any personal data you provide to it — is governed exclusively by that operator's own privacy policy and terms of service. pkt888 has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the data practices of third-party platforms.

16. Amendments to This Privacy Policy

pkt888 reserves the right to update, amend or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the features of the Platform. When material changes are made to this Policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where reasonably practicable, provide notice to Registered Users through appropriate on-Platform notifications or email communication.

Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We recommend that you review this Policy periodically to remain informed of how pkt888 handles your personal data. If any amendment materially affects the processing of your personal data in a manner that requires fresh consent, we will seek that consent before the amendment takes effect with respect to your data.

17. Contact Us
