Privacy Policy

pk147 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") operates the website located at pk147.cam. We respect the privacy of all users ("you", "your") who access or browse this Platform and are committed to protecting any personal information that may be associated with your use of this site.

This Privacy Policy describes in plain, professional English:

• What categories of information pk147 may collect through your use of the Platform.
• The purposes for which that information is used.
• How information is stored, protected and, where applicable, shared.
• The rights available to you in relation to your personal data.
• How to contact us with privacy-related queries or requests.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern your overall use of the pk147 Platform. By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described herein, please discontinue use of the Platform.

pk147 is primarily accessed by users located in Pakistan. We are aware of the data protection expectations of Pakistani users and endeavour to handle all data in a manner consistent with internationally recognised privacy principles, including transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation and security.

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

pk147 is primarily a read-only informational platform. The categories of data that may be associated with your use of the Platform are limited and are described below.

3.1 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit pk147.cam, certain technical data may be collected automatically through standard web server and analytics processes:

• IP address — recorded by our web server for security, fraud prevention and geographic analytics purposes. IP addresses may be partially anonymised where feasible.
• Browser type and version — used to ensure content is rendered correctly across devices commonly used by Pakistani users.
• Device type and operating system — collected in aggregate to optimise mobile performance, given that the majority of our audience accesses the site via Android and iOS devices.
• Pages visited, time on page and navigation path — aggregated usage data used to understand which educational content is most useful and to identify areas for improvement.
• Referring URL — the web address from which you arrived at pk147.cam, used for platform analytics only.
• Date and time of access — logged as part of standard server access records.

3.2 Data You Provide Voluntarily

If you choose to contact us via any inquiry or support channel on the Platform, we may collect:

• Your name or alias — as provided by you in a contact message.
• Your email address — used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact email addresses to marketing lists without explicit consent.
• The content of your message — retained only for as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry and comply with any applicable record-keeping obligation.

pk147 uses data collected through the Platform for the following specific, legitimate purposes only:

pk147 does not use your data for:

• Selling or renting personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.
• Profiling users for targeted advertising on behalf of gambling operators or any other commercial entity.
• Automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users.
• Cross-referencing Platform usage data with data from gambling operators, banks or payment providers.

Where data protection law requires a legal basis for the processing of personal data, pk147 relies on the following:

• Legitimate Interests: The processing of automatically collected technical data (IP address, browser type, access logs) is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional educational website. This interest is balanced against user privacy by applying data minimisation, aggregation and pseudonymisation practices where feasible.
• Consent: Where you voluntarily submit personal data through a contact channel on this Platform (such as your name and email address), you do so with the understanding that the data will be used to respond to your inquiry. By submitting such information you provide your consent to that specific, limited use.
• Legal Obligation: To the extent that applicable law requires pk147 to retain or disclose certain data, processing is carried out to comply with that legal obligation.

pk147 may use cookies and similar technologies to support the function and analytics of the Platform. The categories of cookies that may be in use are as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the basic operation of the Platform — for example, session security tokens and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users interact with the Platform — pages visited, time on page and navigation flows. This data helps us improve content quality and mobile usability. Analytics data is not linked to individual identities.
• Preference Cookies: Used to remember basic display preferences (such as whether a navigation menu was expanded) for the duration of a browser session.

pk147 does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels or cross-site tracking technologies. We do not build advertising profiles of users and do not share cookie data with gambling operators or advertisers.

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to be notified when cookies are set. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the Platform's functionality. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to access educational content. Refer to your browser's help documentation for guidance on cookie controls.

The Platform loads certain third-party resources from CDN providers (Bootstrap, Bootstrap Icons, Google Fonts) for styling and layout purposes. These third-party servers may set their own cookies or log access requests independently of pk147. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies. pk147 does not control these third-party data practices.

pk147 does not sell, trade, rent or otherwise transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Technical infrastructure providers (hosting, CDN, security services) that process data solely on our behalf and under our instruction, subject to appropriate data processing agreements where applicable.
• Legal Obligations: Where required by applicable law, court order, regulatory authority or other legal process, pk147 may disclose data to the relevant authority to the minimum extent required to comply with that obligation.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or transfer of the Platform's assets, user data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any material change to the data controller identity through an update to this Privacy Policy.

In all cases above, data is shared only to the minimum extent necessary for the specified purpose. pk147 does not share personal data with gambling operators, financial institutions, payment providers (including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah) or marketing agencies.

pk147 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specific retention periods are as follows:

When data is no longer required, it is deleted or permanently anonymised using industry-standard methods. pk147 does not archive historical user data for commercial purposes.

pk147 takes the security of user data seriously and implements technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature and scope of data processed on this Platform.

• HTTPS / TLS Encryption: All pages on pk147.cam are served exclusively over HTTPS using TLS encryption. Data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted in transit. Always verify the padlock icon in your browser before submitting any information.
• Access Controls: Administrative access to Platform infrastructure is restricted to authorised personnel only and is protected by strong authentication controls.
• Data Minimisation: We collect only the minimum data necessary for each stated purpose. We do not retain data beyond the periods specified in Section 8.
• No Sensitive Document Storage: pk147 does not request, store or process identity documents (CNIC, passport), financial credentials or biometric data of any kind. If you receive a request purporting to be from pk147 asking for such information, treat it as fraudulent and do not respond.
• Infrastructure Security: Our hosting infrastructure is maintained with up-to-date security patching, firewall rules and monitoring to detect and respond to threats promptly.

No data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While pk147 implements appropriate safeguards, we cannot provide an absolute security guarantee. Users are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords for any accounts they hold with third-party platforms and to enable two-factor authentication wherever available.

Subject to applicable data protection law, you may have the following rights in relation to personal data held by pk147. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 14.

To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to the contact details in Section 14. We aim to respond to all valid requests within 30 days. In complex or high-volume cases, we may extend this period by a further 60 days with prior notice. We may need to verify your identity before processing any data rights request.

Where pk147 is unable to fulfil a rights request — for example, because the relevant data has already been deleted or because a legal exception applies — we will inform you of the reason in writing.

pk147 does not knowingly collect, process or store personal data belonging to individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that personal data from a minor has been submitted to the Platform, we will delete that data promptly upon discovery.

If you are a parent or guardian and have reason to believe that a minor in your care has submitted personal data to pk147, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 14 so that we can take appropriate remedial action.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools and filtering software to restrict minors' access to gambling-related content. This applies equally to any third-party gambling operators that may be referenced educationally on this Platform.

pk147 references certain third-party brand names throughout its educational content solely to provide familiar context for Pakistani users. These references — including payment providers such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — do not represent any data-sharing relationship between pk147 and those entities.

The privacy practices of any third-party gambling operator, payment provider, bank or mobile wallet that a user chooses to engage with separately are entirely outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. Each such entity operates under its own privacy policy, which users should review carefully before providing personal or financial data.

This Platform loads styling resources from third-party CDN providers (including Bootstrap CDN and Google Fonts). Requests to these servers may result in those providers recording technical data (such as IP addresses and access timestamps) in accordance with their own privacy policies. pk147 does not control how those third-party providers handle such data.

pk147 reserves the right to update, amend or replace this Privacy Policy at any time in order to reflect changes in data processing practices, legal obligations or Platform functionality. The revised Policy will be published at pk147.cam/privacy-policy with an updated "Last Reviewed" date at the top of the page.

Material changes — those that significantly affect how personal data is collected or used — will be highlighted at the top of this page for a period following publication. Your continued use of the Platform after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

Users are encouraged to review this page periodically to remain informed of how pk147 handles personal data. If you have questions about any change to this Policy, please contact us using the details below.

For any privacy-related questions, data rights requests or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact the pk147 team using the details below. All communications should be in English where possible and should clearly describe the nature of your request.

Data Rights Requests: When submitting a data rights request (access, erasure, rectification, objection), please include sufficient information to allow us to verify your identity and locate any data we may hold. We may ask for additional verification before processing your request. We do not charge a fee for standard data rights requests.

Please note: do not submit identity documents (CNIC, passport, bank statements or financial credentials) through this email channel or any other contact channel on pk147.cam. Such documents should only ever be submitted through a gambling operator's own verified HTTPS account portal as part of that operator's KYC process.
