Privacy Policy

01 Introduction

pkzzz ("we," "us," "our," or the "Operator") is an internationally licensed online gaming and sports betting platform serving players across Pakistan, including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and other cities nationwide. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the pkzzz website (pkzzz.net), any associated mobile interfaces, and all related services offered under the pkzzz brand.

We take your privacy seriously. This document explains in plain terms — and in legally precise language where required — what personal data pkzzz collects from you, why we collect it, how long we retain it, who we may share it with, and the rights you have over that data at any time.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the pkzzz Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, all of which together govern your relationship with pkzzz.

02 Personal Data We Collect

• Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued identification
• Date of birth (required to verify the 21+ age requirement)
• Residential address, including city and country
• Email address and mobile phone number (Pakistani numbers in +92 format accepted)
• Chosen username and encrypted password credentials

• Payment method verification documents (bank account statement, JazzCash or EasyPaisa account screenshots)
• Source of funds documentation where required by our compliance programme

2.3 Financial Transaction Data

We collect and retain records of all deposits, withdrawals, and wager transactions conducted on your pkzzz account. This includes transaction amounts in PKR, timestamps, payment method references, and the outcome of each transaction. This data is retained for AML compliance and audit purposes.

2.4 Usage and Behavioural Data

pkzzz automatically collects certain technical and behavioural data when you use the platform, including:

• IP address and approximate geolocation derived from it

• Pages visited, game sessions played, and time spent on each section
• Clickstream data and navigation patterns within the platform
• Session duration and login/logout timestamps

2.5 Communications Data

When you contact pkzzz support via live chat or email, we retain transcripts and correspondence for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes. This includes any information you voluntarily provide during support interactions.

2.6 Responsible Gaming Data

Where you set deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion periods, or other responsible gaming controls on your account, pkzzz records these settings and any changes to them. This data is used exclusively to enforce the restrictions you have requested and to fulfil our duty-of-care obligations under our gaming licence.

03 How We Use Your Personal Data

pkzzz processes personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes. The following table summarises the primary purposes for which your data is used:

pkzzz does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces significant legal effects without human review. Where automated screening flags an account for compliance review, a qualified member of our compliance team will review the case before any account action is taken.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

pkzzz processes your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

4.1 Contract Performance

Much of the data pkzzz processes is necessary to perform the contract between you and pkzzz — namely, operating your account, processing your transactions, and delivering the gaming services you have requested. Without this data, pkzzz cannot provide its services to you.

4.2 Legal and Regulatory Obligation

As an internationally licensed gaming operator, pkzzz is subject to mandatory obligations including KYC identity verification, AML transaction monitoring, and responsible gaming compliance. Processing data for these purposes is legally required under our licensing conditions and cannot be waived by player request.

4.3 Legitimate Interests

pkzzz processes certain data where it has a legitimate business interest to do so, provided that interest is not overridden by your fundamental rights. This includes fraud prevention, platform security, analytics, and improving user experience. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we carry out a balancing assessment to ensure the processing is proportionate and respectful of your privacy.

4.4 Consent

Where pkzzz relies on your consent to process data — such as for marketing communications and non-essential cookies — we will seek that consent clearly and separately. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You may manage your marketing preferences from within your account settings or by contacting support.

05 Data Sharing & Disclosure

5.1 Who We Share Data With

pkzzz does not sell your personal data. We may share your data with the following categories of recipients only where necessary and under appropriate data protection safeguards:

• Payment Processors: JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and any other payment provider used to process your PKR transactions. Data shared is limited to what is required to complete the transaction.
• Identity Verification Providers: Third-party KYC and identity verification services used to fulfil our age and identity verification obligations.
• Game Content Providers: Licensed third-party game studios that supply games available on the pkzzz platform may receive session data necessary to deliver the game correctly.
• Regulatory and Licensing Authorities: Our licensing authority may require access to player data and transaction records as part of its regulatory oversight function. pkzzz is obligated to comply with such requests.
• Law Enforcement and Government Bodies: Where required by applicable law, court order, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to prevent crime or protect the safety of any person, we may disclose your data to relevant authorities.
• AML Compliance Partners: Specialist AML monitoring and compliance service providers engaged to assist with transaction screening. These providers process data only on our instructions and under strict confidentiality agreements.

5.2 Data Processors

All third parties that process personal data on pkzzz's behalf do so only as data processors, acting under written agreements that require them to protect your data to a standard consistent with this Privacy Policy. pkzzz remains the data controller and is responsible for the lawful processing of your data at all times.

06 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

6.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your preferences, maintain your session, and collect usage data. pkzzz uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage and session tokens) on the pkzzz.net platform.

6.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens, security cookies, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.

• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how players interact with the platform so we can improve the experience. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
• Marketing Cookies: Used only with your explicit consent to deliver relevant promotional content. You may opt out of marketing cookies at any time via your cookie preferences panel.

6.3 Managing Cookies

You may control cookie settings through the pkzzz cookie preferences panel accessible from the footer of the platform. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies; however, blocking strictly necessary cookies will impair or prevent your use of the platform. pkzzz is not responsible for platform functionality issues arising from browser-level cookie restrictions.

07 Data Retention

pkzzz retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and licensing obligations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

After the applicable retention period has elapsed, pkzzz will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data. Anonymised or aggregated data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for statistical and research purposes.

08 Security Measures

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

• 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data in transit between your device and pkzzz servers is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security protocols.
• At-Rest Encryption: Sensitive data stored on pkzzz servers — including KYC documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Personal data is accessible only to pkzzz staff members who require it to perform their designated functions. Access is role-based and subject to regular audit.
• Two-Factor Authentication: pkzzz offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts and mandates it for all internal staff systems accessing personal data.
• Penetration Testing: pkzzz's infrastructure undergoes regular security assessments and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity professionals.
• Incident Response: pkzzz maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights, we will notify affected players and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law.

09 Your Data Rights

Subject to applicable law and the limitations imposed by our licensing obligations, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data pkzzz holds about you:

To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to pkzzz's Data Protection Officer via email at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request." We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and aim to fulfil it within 30 calendar days. Complex requests may require an extension of up to 60 days, in which case you will be notified.

10 Minors & Age Policy

The pkzzz platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and older. pkzzz does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. All registration submissions include a mandatory date-of-birth field which is used to screen for underage applicants before account activation.

Where pkzzz discovers or is notified that an account has been registered by a person under the age of 21, the account will be immediately suspended and permanently closed. Any data collected will be retained only for the minimum period required by applicable AML and licensing law, after which it will be securely deleted. No winnings generated during underage play will be paid out.

pkzzz strongly encourages all adult account holders who share devices with minors to use device-level parental control software and to keep their pkzzz credentials strictly private. If you are aware of any minor who has accessed or attempted to access the pkzzz platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

11 International Data Transfers

pkzzz is an internationally licensed gaming operator. As a result, some of the personal data you provide may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Pakistan, including the jurisdiction where pkzzz's licensing authority is domiciled and where certain technical infrastructure and service providers are located.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, pkzzz ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that described in this Privacy Policy. These safeguards may include:

• Contractual clauses between pkzzz and the receiving party that impose equivalent data protection obligations
• Transfers to jurisdictions that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of data protection
• Binding corporate rules or equivalent internal data governance frameworks where the recipient is part of a corporate group

If you would like more information about the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer of your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

12 Third-Party Services

The pkzzz platform integrates services provided by third-party game studios, payment processors, and analytics providers. These third parties may independently collect certain data from you in connection with delivering their services. pkzzz is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services and encourages you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

pkzzz does not include third-party advertising networks on the pkzzz.net domain that would track your browsing behaviour across external websites for commercial advertising purposes. Any analytics tools used are configured to respect user privacy, including IP anonymisation where technically available.

Payment providers including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank process your payment data under their own privacy policies and applicable Pakistani financial regulation. pkzzz shares only the minimum data necessary to facilitate your requested transaction with each payment provider.

13 Changes to This Privacy Policy

pkzzz reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made — such as new data uses, new categories of data collected, or changes to your rights — pkzzz will notify registered players by email at the address associated with their account prior to the changes taking effect.

For minor updates such as clarifications, formatting corrections, or amendments to reflect changes in applicable law, pk zzz will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the pkzzz platform after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how pkzzz protects your personal data. The current version of this Privacy Policy is always accessible at pkzzz.net/privacy-policy.
