PKR444 is an English-language online gaming information platform serving the Pakistan market. We publish educational and informational content on sports betting, live casino mechanics, slot game guides and responsible gambling practices. We do not operate as a licensed gambling business, do not accept bets or deposits, and do not process financial transactions on behalf of any user.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits PKR444. This Policy explains in plain terms what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what choices you have. If you have any questions after reading this Policy, please contact us at the details provided in Section 17.

By using the PKR444 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue your use of the platform.

• "Processing" — any operation performed on personal data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, erasure or destruction.
• "Data Controller" — the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. In the context of this Policy, the Data Controller is PKR444.

03 Data Controller

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, PKR444 acts as the Data Controller in respect of all personal data collected through the platform at https://pkr444.cam. As Data Controller, PKR444 determines what personal data is collected, for what purposes, and how it is handled.

Where PKR444 engages third-party service providers (for example, analytics or hosting providers) to process data on its behalf, those third parties act as Data Processors and are bound by appropriate data processing agreements requiring them to process data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable privacy law.

To contact the data controller with any privacy-related enquiry or request, please use the contact details in Section 17 of this Policy.

04 Data We Collect

4.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you voluntarily interact with PKR444 — for example, by completing a contact form or submitting a query — we may collect:

• Your name (first and/or last name as provided);
• Your email address;
• The content of any message or query you submit;
• Any other information you choose to include in your communication with us.

We do not collect payment card details, bank account numbers, Easypaisa/JazzCash wallet credentials, CNIC numbers, or any other sensitive financial or identity verification data. PKR444 has no mechanism to process such information and has no need for it.

4.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you browse PKR444, certain technical and usage data is collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools:

• Technical identifiers: IP address, device type, operating system, browser name and version;
• Session data: date and time of visit, pages viewed, time spent on each page, scroll depth;
• Referral data: the URL from which you arrived at PKR444 (e.g., a search engine results page);
• Aggregated analytics: anonymised or pseudonymised statistics about how groups of users interact with the Platform.

This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally. It helps us understand which content is most useful to Pakistani players — for example, whether guides on PSL betting, live casino or T20 cricket odds are attracting the most engagement from users in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad.

4.3 Data Collected via Cookies

Cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) may collect additional data, as described in Section 7 of this Policy. You may manage cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

05 Legal Basis for Processing

PKR444 processes personal data only where it has a lawful basis to do so. The primary legal bases on which we rely are:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing technical and usage data to operate, maintain and improve the Platform, to detect security threats, and to understand how content is consumed — provided this does not override your fundamental privacy rights;
• Consent: Where we place non-essential cookies or analytics trackers, we seek your consent in advance. You may withdraw consent for such processing at any time by adjusting your browser settings or cookie preferences;
• Contract Performance: Where you have submitted a query or contacted us, processing your contact information is necessary to respond to your request;
• Legal Obligation: Where we are required to retain or disclose data under applicable law, including PECA 2016 or any order by a competent Pakistani authority.

06 How We Use Your Data

PKR444 uses the personal data it collects for the following purposes only:

• Platform Operation: To deliver, maintain and improve the content and functionality of the PKR444 website;
• User Support: To respond to queries, comments or feedback that you submit through our contact channels;
• Analytics & Performance: To analyse how visitors use the Platform, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience for Pakistani players — including users from cities such as Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar;
• Security: To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity on or directed at the Platform;
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws and to respond to lawful requests from competent authorities;
• Policy Enforcement: To enforce our Terms & Conditions and other platform policies.

We will not use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those listed above without first obtaining your consent or establishing a separate lawful basis for doing so.

07 Cookies Policy

7.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits and to remember certain preferences or session information.

7.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Platform to function correctly. These cannot be disabled without preventing core features from working. No consent is required for these cookies.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect information about how visitors use the Platform in aggregate — for example, which pages receive the most traffic and where visitors are located. This data is anonymised and used solely to improve the Platform.
• Preference Cookies: Store user preferences such as language settings or display choices to improve your experience on return visits.

7.3 Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when a website sets or accesses a cookie. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the PKR444 platform.

08 Data Sharing & Disclosure

PKR444 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (such as web hosting companies, analytics platforms and IT support providers) who process data on our behalf as Data Processors. These providers are contractually required to keep your data confidential and to process it only on our instructions;
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose personal data where required to do so by law, court order, regulatory authority or government request — including compliance with lawful orders issued under PECA 2016 or other applicable Pakistani legislation;
• Business Transfers: In the event that PKR444 undergoes a merger, acquisition or asset sale, personal data held by the Platform may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Policy;
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose data where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of PKR444, its users or the public.

In all cases, we limit data sharing to what is strictly necessary and ensure that appropriate contractual or legal protections are in place.

09 Data Retention

PKR444 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:

• Contact form submissions: Retained for a maximum of 12 months from the date of submission, after which records are deleted or anonymised unless an ongoing matter requires retention;
• Server logs and technical data: Retained for up to 90 days for security monitoring and performance analysis purposes, after which they are automatically purged;
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it contains no personal identifiers;
• Legal hold: Where we are under a legal obligation to retain data for a specified period (for example, under applicable Pakistani law or in connection with ongoing legal proceedings), we will retain data for the duration required.

When personal data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it in line with our internal data handling procedures.

10 Data Security

PKR444 takes reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data we hold against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. Our security practices include:

• Use of HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers;
• Access controls restricting personal data to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of our security policies and infrastructure;
• Use of reputable, security-reviewed hosting and infrastructure providers.

While we make every reasonable effort to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. PKR444 cannot guarantee absolute security and accepts no liability for breaches that result from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In the event of a material data breach affecting your personal data, we will take appropriate steps to notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by Applicable Law.

11 International Data Transfers

PKR444 may use hosting, analytics or support service providers whose servers or operations are located outside Pakistan. If personal data is transferred to a jurisdiction that does not provide an equivalent level of data protection to the country from which it originates, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers are subject to adequate safeguards — such as contractual data processing agreements incorporating appropriate privacy protections.

By using the PKR444 Platform, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. We will always handle your data in accordance with the terms of this Policy regardless of where it is processed.

12 Minors and Age Restrictions

PKR444 is intended for use by adults aged 18 years and over, or such higher minimum age as may be required under applicable law in the user's jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 18, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our records. If you believe that a minor has provided personal data to PKR444, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and act accordingly.

Parents and guardians in Pakistan are strongly encouraged to supervise minors' online activity and to make use of parental control tools available through internet service providers and devices.

13 Exercising Your Data Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by PKR444:

• Access: The right to obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of that data;
• Rectification: The right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected;
• Erasure: The right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal obligation to retain it;
• Restriction: The right to request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances;
• Portability: The right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible;
• Objection: The right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
• Withdrawal of Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

Please note that some rights may be subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law. Where we cannot fulfil a request in full, we will explain the reason in our response.
