pk36 Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how pk36 ("we", "us", "our"), the operator of the website located at https://pk36.cam ("the Site"), collects, uses, stores and protects information relating to visitors and users ("you", "your") who access the Site.

pk36 is an English-language online betting and casino information resource built specifically for Pakistani users. We do not operate a gambling platform, accept deposits, process withdrawals or facilitate any real-money wagering. The scope of data we handle is therefore limited primarily to standard website analytics and communication data rather than sensitive financial or account information.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following definitions apply:

pk36 collects only the minimum data necessary to operate the Site effectively and improve the experience for our users. The categories of data we may collect are as follows:

We collect Personal Data through the following mechanisms:

• Automatic collection: When you visit any page on pk36, our web server and analytics tools automatically record Technical Data and Usage Data. This occurs without any action required from you beyond loading the page.
• Contact enquiries: If you contact us via email or submit a contact form on the Site, we collect the information you voluntarily provide — typically your name, email address and the content of your message.
• Cookies and similar technologies: Cookies placed by the Site or embedded third-party tools (such as analytics scripts) collect browsing and session data as described in Section 6 of this Policy.

We do not collect data from social media platforms, data brokers or third-party list providers. We do not purchase or import contact lists.

We process Personal Data only for defined, legitimate purposes. The table below sets out each purpose, the data used and the legal basis on which we rely:

We do not use Personal Data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

pk36 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support the operation and analysis of the Site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses.

The cookies used on pk36 fall into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Site to function correctly. These include session management and security cookies. They cannot be disabled without affecting basic Site functionality.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use the Site — pages visited, time on site, traffic sources. This helps us understand which content is most useful to our Pakistani audience and improve our guides accordingly. These cookies require your consent where mandated by applicable law.
• Preference Cookies: Store your selections regarding cookie consent and any display preferences so that you are not asked repeatedly on subsequent visits.

pk36 does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels or behavioural advertising technology of any kind. We do not sell cookie data or browsing profiles to advertisers.

pk36 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise commercially disclose your Personal Data to third parties. We may share data in the following limited circumstances only:

• Service Providers (Processors): We engage trusted third-party providers to support hosting, analytics and site infrastructure. These providers process data strictly on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations. Examples include analytics platforms and cloud hosting services.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose data to law enforcement, regulatory authorities or courts where we are legally required to do so under applicable law, or where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of pk36 or others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets involving pk36, Personal Data held at that time may form part of the transferred assets. We would notify affected users in advance where reasonably practicable.

We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention practices are as follows:

• Analytics Data: Aggregated, anonymised usage data is retained for up to 26 months to allow year-on-year comparison of site performance trends. Individual-level identifiers (such as IP addresses) are anonymised or deleted within shorter periods as configured in our analytics tools.
• Communication Data: Enquiry emails and contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months from the date of the last communication, after which they are securely deleted, unless a longer retention period is required by law or ongoing correspondence.
• Cookie & Preference Data: Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session. Persistent cookies (such as consent preferences) are retained for up to 12 months from the date they are set.

When data is no longer required and no legal obligation compels its continued retention, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any identifiable individual.

pk36 takes the security of your Personal Data seriously. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption across all pages of the Site (TLS).
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised team members only.
• Regular review of security configurations and software dependencies.
• Use of reputable, security-audited third-party hosting and analytics platforms.

Depending on applicable data protection law, you may have the following rights in relation to Personal Data that pk36 holds about you:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 15. We will respond to all verified requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing a rights request.

pk36 is an adults-only information resource. Access to the Site is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or license jurisdiction. This Site is not directed at, and is not intended for use by, children or minors under the applicable minimum age.

pk36 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under the applicable minimum age, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our records.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has submitted Personal Data to pk36, please contact us immediately at the address provided in Section 15 so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

pk36 is designed and published specifically for an English-speaking Pakistani audience, with content referencing local context including Pakistani cities (Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar), familiar payment references and sporting events such as Pakistan cricket, PSL/T20 and ICC tournaments.

Pakistani data protection law is an evolving area. To the extent that any applicable Pakistani legislation governing personal data or electronic communications applies to our processing activities, pk36 is committed to complying with those requirements.

pk36 does not claim to be registered with, licensed by or authorised under the Government of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) or any provincial authority in relation to data processing or gambling activity. Users accessing the Site from Pakistan do so on their own initiative and bear sole responsibility for compliance with applicable local law.

The Site may contain references to third-party gambling operators, platforms or services described purely for informational purposes. pk36 does not include clickable external links to third-party sites within its editorial content. However, if you independently navigate to a third-party website after reading about it on pk36, that site's own privacy policy will govern any data it collects from you.

pk36 is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of any third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any platform before sharing your personal data with them.

pk36 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law or the services we provide. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

Where changes are significant — for example, a material expansion in the categories of data we collect — we will take reasonable steps to bring those changes to your attention, which may include a prominent notice on the Site's homepage.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way pk36 handles your Personal Data, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We aim to respond to all data-related enquiries within a reasonable period.

Please include your full name, the nature of your request and any relevant details that will help us locate the data in question. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain rights requests to protect against unauthorised access.
