pak356 Privacy Policy – How We Handle Your Data

pak356 is an online betting and gaming platform operating at pak356.ws. References to "pak356", "we", "us" or "our" in this Privacy Policy refer to the operator of pak356.ws and all services available through it.

For any questions about this Privacy Policy or how pak356 handles your personal data, you can contact our privacy team directly at support@pak356.ws. We aim to respond to all privacy-related queries within five business days and to any formal data access requests within thirty days.

pak356 is the data controller for the personal information you provide when you register and use our platform. This means we determine the purposes for which your data is processed and the means by which that processing takes place. We take this responsibility seriously and have documented data handling procedures for every category of personal information we collect.

pak356 collects personal data from you in several ways — directly when you register or make a transaction, automatically when you use the platform, and in some cases from third-party services that help us verify your identity or process your payments.

Data you provide directly to pak356:

• Registration data: Full name, mobile phone number, date of birth and in some cases email address. This is mandatory — pak356 cannot create an account without it.
• Identity verification (KYC) documents: CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) or equivalent national identity document. Required before your first withdrawal or when you reach certain cumulative transaction thresholds.
• Financial information: Your preferred payment methods — Easypaisa mobile number, JazzCash account, NayaPay or SadaPay wallet ID, bank account number for IBFT or Visa/Mastercard details. pak356 does not store full card numbers on our servers — card processing is handled by our PCI-compliant payment processor.
• Communications: Any messages you send to pak356 customer support, including via chat, email or any support ticket system.
• Responsible gaming preferences: Any deposit limits, loss limits, cool-off periods or self-exclusion requests you set on your account.

Data collected automatically when you use pak356:

• Device and technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution and mobile network operator.
• Usage data: Pages visited on pak356, time spent on each page, games played, bets placed, features used, buttons clicked and navigation paths through the platform.
• Transaction data: A complete record of all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, game rounds played, bonus claims and settlement history associated with your account.
• Session data: Login timestamps, session durations and logout events.
• Geolocation data: General location derived from your IP address. pak356 does not collect precise GPS coordinates.

Every piece of data pak356 collects has a specific, documented purpose. We do not process data without a legitimate reason. Here is how we use each category of information we hold:

pak356 processes personal data on the following legal grounds. Every processing activity maps to at least one of these bases:

• Contractual necessity: The majority of data processing on pak356 is necessary to fulfil the contract between us and you — that is, to provide the betting and gaming service you have registered for. Account creation, payment processing, bet settlement and customer support all fall under this basis.
• Legal obligation: Certain data processing is required by law — for example, retaining transaction records for a defined period, conducting age and identity verification, and implementing anti-money-laundering checks.
• Legitimate interests: pak356 processes certain data — such as device information for fraud detection and anonymised usage data for platform improvement — on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and well-functioning platform, provided those interests do not override your rights.
• Consent: Where pak356 sends you optional marketing communications or uses non-essential cookies, we do so on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the use of your account.

pak356 does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the specific purpose:

• Payment processors: To process your PKR deposits and withdrawals, pak356 must share relevant transaction data with the payment providers you use — Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank IBFT networks and card processing services. These providers have their own privacy policies and are responsible for data they independently hold.
• KYC and identity verification services: Third-party verification providers may process your CNIC or identity documents to confirm your eligibility and age. These services are contractually bound to use your data only for the verification process and not for any other purpose.
• Fraud prevention services: pak356 uses specialist fraud detection systems that process device fingerprint and transaction pattern data to identify suspicious activity. Access is restricted to this purpose only.
• Game software providers: Where games on pak356 are provided by third-party studios — for example live dealer game providers — limited session and account data may be passed to those providers to enable the game to function. No financial data beyond what is necessary for the game session is shared.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: pak356 will disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies where required to do so by law, or where we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, protect our users or comply with a legal process.

pak356 uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Here is how pak356 uses them:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in while you navigate pak356, and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using pak356.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences — such as your preferred language and display settings — so you do not have to re-enter them on every visit.
• Analytics cookies: Help pak356 understand how users navigate the platform so we can improve it. Data collected for analytics is aggregated and anonymised wherever possible. pak356 uses first-party analytics rather than third-party advertising analytics.
• Fraud prevention cookies: Used to recognise your device across sessions to detect unusual access patterns that may indicate account takeover or fraudulent activity.

Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies through their settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent pak356 from functioning correctly. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the platform but may affect your experience.

pak356 has implemented technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:

• TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and pak356 servers.
• Encryption of sensitive stored data including payment method references and identity document copies.
• Strict internal access controls — pak356 staff can only access personal data on a need-to-know basis relevant to their specific role.
• Regular security reviews of our platform and data handling systems.
• Secure destruction or anonymisation of data when retention periods expire.

Despite these measures, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. If you have reason to believe your pak356 account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@pak356.ws. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, pak356 will notify affected users as required by applicable obligations.

pak356 retains personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as we are required to by applicable law. Our retention periods are as follows:

• Active account data: Retained for as long as your pak356 account remains open and active.
• Transaction and betting records: Retained for a minimum of five years after the transaction date to comply with record-keeping obligations. After this period, records are anonymised or securely deleted.
• KYC documents: Retained for the duration of your account relationship with pak356 and for five years after account closure.
• Support communications: Retained for three years from the date of the communication unless the matter is subject to ongoing dispute or legal proceedings.
• Analytics and usage data (anonymised): May be retained indefinitely in anonymised, aggregated form as it no longer constitutes personal data.
• Closed account data: Following account closure, pak356 retains minimal identifying data for fraud prevention purposes for a period of five years, after which it is deleted.

As a user of pak356, you have the following rights regarding the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@pak356.ws and we will respond within 30 days:

pak356 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Registration requires date of birth confirmation and accounts found to belong to minors are closed immediately, with all funds returned to the depositing payment method.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on pak356, please contact us immediately at support@pak356.ws. We will verify the situation, close the account and delete all associated personal data within 72 hours of confirmation. pak356 takes underage gambling extremely seriously and this process is treated as a priority.

pak356 uses certain personal data — specifically your betting history, session duration and deposit patterns — as part of our responsible gaming monitoring systems. This processing is in your interest: it helps us identify potential signs of problem gambling and, where necessary, reach out to offer support or apply protective measures.

• Responsible gaming data is held securely and is not shared with third parties except where legally required.
• Self-exclusion records are retained for the duration of the exclusion period and for five years after it ends, to prevent the creation of a new account during or after an exclusion.
• If you contact pak356 about a gambling concern, those communications are treated with the highest degree of sensitivity and confidentiality.

For more information on the responsible gaming tools available on pak356 — including deposit limits, loss limits and self-exclusion — please visit our Responsible Gaming page.

pak356 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, new product features, or changes in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify you via the in-app notification system or by message to your registered mobile number.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, particularly before making large deposits or before using a new feature on pak356. Continued use of the platform following the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree with any change, you may request account closure and withdrawal of your available balance before the changes take effect.
