2. Information We Collect

pk68io collects personal data in several ways: directly from you when you register or interact with our platform, automatically through your use of our website, and in limited circumstances from third-party sources for verification purposes. Below is a detailed breakdown of the categories of data we collect.

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Registration data: Full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address (city, province). Pakistani players commonly register with Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, or Islamabad addresses.
• Identity verification (KYC): A copy of your CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) or passport, as required by our licensing obligations before your first withdrawal can be processed.
• Payment information: Your JazzCash or EasyPaisa mobile wallet number, HBL/UBL/Meezan Bank account details (where applicable), and transaction references. pk68io does not store full card numbers or banking passwords.
• Communications: Messages, complaints, or support tickets you send to our customer support team via live chat or email.
• Responsible gaming declarations: If you set deposit limits, session reminders, or request self-exclusion, we record these preferences to enforce them consistently across your account.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Device and technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, screen resolution, and mobile network carrier.
• Usage data: Pages visited, games played, betting history, session duration, click patterns, and features accessed on the pk68io platform.
• Geolocation data: Approximate location derived from your IP address, used to verify that you are accessing our platform from a permitted location.
• Cookies and similar technologies: Session cookies, preference cookies, analytics cookies, and security tokens. Full details are provided in Section 8 of this policy.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

• Identity verification providers: In certain cases, we may cross-reference the identity details you provide against third-party KYC verification databases to confirm authenticity and prevent fraud.
• Payment processors: Transaction status confirmations and fraud signals received from JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and our banking partners.
• Regulatory and compliance sources: Self-exclusion registers and sanctions screening databases, as required under our licensing conditions.

• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with our gaming licence conditions, AML regulations, and any lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
• Legitimate interests: Processing carried out to protect pk68io's platform from fraud, ensure platform security, and conduct internal analytics — where these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where you have given explicit, freely given, informed consent that you may withdraw at any time.

5. How We Share Your Information

pk68io does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose.

5.1 Service Providers and Data Processors

We engage trusted third-party service providers to help operate the pk68io platform. These include payment processors (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, banking partners), KYC/identity verification providers, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, customer support software providers, and analytics platforms. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to pk68io.

5.2 Regulatory and Legal Disclosures

pk68io may disclose personal data to our licensing authority, law enforcement agencies, or other regulatory bodies where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, money laundering, or other criminal activity. Such disclosures are made strictly on a need-to-know basis.

5.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of pk68io's business, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance of any such transfer that materially changes how your data is handled, and you will retain your rights to access, correct, or delete your data.

6. Data Retention

pk68io retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by our licensing conditions and applicable regulations. Specifically:

• Account data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of account closure, as required under standard gaming licence conditions for AML compliance.
• Transaction records: All deposit, withdrawal, and betting records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years to comply with financial reporting and AML obligations.
• KYC documents: Retained for the duration of your account plus five (5) years post-closure. Physical or digital copies of your CNIC or passport are stored securely and access-restricted.
• Support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction to allow for dispute resolution and quality improvement.
• Marketing data: Retained only while your marketing consent remains active. Upon withdrawal of consent, marketing data is deleted or anonymised within 30 days.
• Cookie and analytics data: Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session. Persistent analytics cookies are retained for no longer than 13 months.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, pk68io will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

7. Security Measures

The security of your personal data is a priority at pk68io. We implement a layered security architecture that includes both technical and organisational controls:

• Transport layer security: All data in transit between your browser or mobile device and pk68io servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL).
• Data at rest encryption: Sensitive personal data stored on our servers — including KYC documents and payment details — is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within pk68io is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff members are granted the minimum level of data access required to perform their role, and all access is logged and audited.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): pk68io offers 2FA for player accounts and mandates it for all internal administrative access to systems holding personal data.
• Penetration testing: Our platform undergoes regular third-party penetration testing and security audits as part of our licensing compliance programme.
• Incident response: pk68io maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected players without undue delay and in accordance with our regulatory obligations.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

pk68io uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and analyse usage patterns. When you first visit pk68io.org, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences.

Cookie Type	Purpose	Duration
Essential / Session	Required for the platform to function — maintains your login session, shopping basket state, and security tokens.	Session (expires on browser close)
Preference	Remembers your language, game display, and notification settings so you do not need to reconfigure on each visit.	Up to 12 months
Analytics	Collects aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the pk68io platform, used to improve UX and game discovery.	Up to 13 months
Security	Detects suspicious login attempts, bot activity, and potential fraud signals to protect your account.	Session to 30 days

You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by accessing the cookie settings panel in your account preferences. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the pk68io platform from functioning correctly.

9. Your Rights

• Right of access: You may request a copy of all personal data pk68io holds about you, along with information about how it is used.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Right to restriction: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest the accuracy of data we hold.
• Right to data portability: You may request that we provide your personal data to you in a structured, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service provider.
• Right to object: You may object to processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, and to any direct marketing processing.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent — for example, for marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

10. Protection of Minors

pk68io is an adult-only gaming platform. Use of the pk68io platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21.

As part of our KYC (Know Your Customer) process, all players are required to verify their age before their account is fully activated and before any withdrawal can be processed. If pk68io discovers — at any point — that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds returned, and the data securely deleted in accordance with our minor protection protocols.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have created an account on pk68io, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take prompt action.

11. Changes to This Policy

pk68io reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify registered players by email and/or by displaying a prominent notice on the pk68io platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Continued use of the pk68io platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
