Privacy Policy – PakGame Online Gaming Platform Pakistan

1. Who We Are

Pakgame is an online gaming platform operating at pakgame.im. References to "pakgame", "we", "us" or "our" in this Privacy Policy refer to the operator of the pakgame platform and all its associated services, including the live casino, sports betting, card games, slots, Aviator, and all other gaming verticals available through the platform.

Pakgame acts as the data controller in respect of the personal information you provide when registering for and using our services. This means we determine the purposes for which your personal data is processed and the manner in which it is processed, and we are responsible for ensuring that processing is carried out lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

Our primary contact address for all privacy-related enquiries is support@pakgame.im. You can write to us in Urdu or English — both languages are handled by our support team.

2. Data We Collect

Pakgame collects personal data in several categories depending on how you interact with the platform. The following table sets out the main categories of data and examples of what falls within each:

3. How We Collect It

Pakgame collects your personal data through the following channels:

3.1 Directly From You

The majority of data pakgame holds about you comes directly from you — through the registration form, identity verification submission, deposit and withdrawal requests, customer support interactions, and any surveys or feedback you complete. You are in control of what you provide, though certain data is mandatory for account opening and KYC purposes.

3.2 Automated Collection

When you visit pakgame, our platform automatically collects technical data about your device and connection. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you visited on pakgame, the time and duration of your visit, and how you navigated the platform. This data is collected via server logs and cookies — see Section 10 for full cookie details.

3.3 Third Parties

Pakgame may receive supplementary data about you from trusted third parties in specific circumstances — for example, identity verification agencies used during KYC, or payment processors who confirm the status of a transaction. We may also receive fraud risk scores from specialist fraud prevention services. In each case, third-party data sharing is governed by a binding data processing agreement.

4. Why We Use Your Data

Pakgame uses your personal data only for clearly defined purposes. We do not use data for purposes beyond what is described here without first obtaining your consent or unless required to do so by law. The primary purposes for which we process personal data on pakgame are:

• Account creation and management: To register your pakgame account, maintain your account balance, manage your preferences, and provide access to the platform's features.
• Identity verification (KYC): To verify that you are who you say you are before processing withdrawals, as required by responsible gaming and financial compliance obligations.
• Processing transactions: To process deposits from your chosen payment method and route withdrawals back to the correct account accurately and securely.
• Delivering the gaming service: To record and display your game results, account balances, betting history, and bonus status — the operational core of what pakgame does.
• Fraud prevention and security: To detect and prevent fraudulent account activity, money laundering, bonus abuse, and other prohibited conduct set out in our Terms and Conditions.
• Customer support: To respond to your enquiries, investigate and resolve complaints, and maintain a record of the support we have provided to you.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor gameplay patterns that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour and to manage self-exclusion and limit requests.
• Marketing (with consent): To send you promotional emails, bonus offers, and platform updates where you have opted in. You can opt out at any time.
• Platform improvement: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage patterns to improve the pakgame user experience, game library, and platform performance.
• Legal compliance: To meet obligations under applicable law, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Every processing activity at pakgame has a legal basis. The main bases we rely on are:

5.1 Contract Performance

The majority of data processing on pakgame is necessary to perform the contract with you — the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when registering. Without processing your registration data, financial data, and gameplay data, we simply could not run your account or provide the gaming service. This basis covers account management, transaction processing, and game delivery.

5.2 Legal Obligation

Certain processing is required by law — including identity verification under financial compliance obligations and record-keeping requirements. Pakgame cannot waive these obligations regardless of your preferences.

5.3 Legitimate Interests

Pakgame processes some data on the basis of legitimate interests — for example, fraud detection, security monitoring, platform analytics, and responsible gaming monitoring. In each case, we have assessed that pakgame's legitimate interest is not overridden by your rights and freedoms as a data subject.

5.4 Consent

Where we rely on consent — primarily for marketing communications — you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your pakgame account or gaming access.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

Pakgame shares your personal data only with parties that are strictly necessary to operate the platform. We do not sell data. Every third party that receives data from pakgame is subject to a binding data processing agreement that restricts how they may use the data they receive. The categories of recipients are:

6.1 Payment Processors

To process your deposits and withdrawals, pakgame passes necessary payment details to the relevant payment processor — Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, or banking partners for IBFT and card transactions. Each processor is subject to their own privacy and security obligations. Pakgame shares only the minimum data necessary to complete the transaction.

6.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Providers

When you submit identity documents for KYC verification, those documents are reviewed by a certified identity verification partner. The partner confirms your identity to pakgame and does not retain your documents for purposes beyond the verification itself. All KYC partners used by pakgame are required to meet high data security standards.

6.3 Fraud Prevention Services

Pakgame uses specialist fraud prevention and risk assessment services to protect the platform and its players. These services may process your device data, IP address, and behavioural patterns to generate risk scores. No personally identifying data beyond what is strictly necessary for fraud assessment is shared with these providers.

6.4 Game Providers

Live dealer games and certified RNG games on pakgame are provided by licensed third-party game studios. To deliver these games, limited technical data — such as a session token and your account denomination — is passed to the game provider's servers. Game providers do not receive your full personal profile or payment details.

6.5 Regulatory and Law Enforcement

Pakgame will disclose personal data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts when required to do so by law, a valid legal order, or in connection with the investigation of fraud, money laundering, or other serious criminal activity. We will not voluntarily disclose data to authorities beyond what the law requires.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party service providers used by pakgame — including game studios and fraud prevention services — may process data in countries outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, pakgame ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to what you would receive in Pakistan.

Safeguards used by pakgame for international transfers include: contractual clauses requiring the recipient to process data to the same standard as pakgame; transfers to recipients in countries that have been assessed as providing adequate data protection; and requiring recipients to maintain certification under recognised security frameworks such as ISO 27001 or equivalent.

If you would like information about the specific safeguards in place for a particular transfer, contact support@pakgame.im and we will provide the relevant details.

8. Data Retention

Pakgame retains personal data for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. The general retention periods applied by pakgame are:

• Active account data: Retained throughout the lifetime of your pakgame account and for a minimum of 5 years after account closure, to satisfy financial record-keeping and regulatory requirements.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years after the date of each transaction, in line with standard financial compliance obligations.
• Identity documents (KYC): Retained for 5 years after account closure or as required by applicable regulations, whichever is longer.
• Support communications: Retained for 3 years from the date of the last interaction, to support ongoing dispute resolution and quality monitoring.
• Technical and log data: Typically retained for 12 months, unless a longer period is required for security investigation purposes.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of the marketing relationship and for 2 years after opt-out, as evidence of the consent history.

When data reaches the end of its retention period and there is no legal obligation requiring further retention, pakgame securely deletes the data or anonymises it so that it can no longer be attributed to any individual.

9. Your Rights

As a player on pakgame, you have a set of rights over your personal data. Pakgame is committed to honouring these rights promptly and without charge. Your rights include:

To exercise any of the above rights, contact support@pakgame.im with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and specify which right you wish to exercise. Pakgame will acknowledge your request within 5 working days and complete it within 30 days of receipt. Complex requests may take up to 60 days — if an extension is needed, we will inform you within the initial 30-day window.

10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Pakgame uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work correctly, to keep you logged in during your session, to remember your preferences, and to understand how the platform is being used so we can improve it. Here is a breakdown of the types of cookies used on pakgame:

10.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for pakgame to function. They manage your login session, keep your account secure, and ensure your game sessions work correctly. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.

10.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences — such as your preferred language, currency display, and which games you have recently played on pakgame. These improve your experience but the platform will still work without them.

10.3 Analytics Cookies

Pakgame uses analytics cookies to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players use the platform — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, where players drop off, and which games are most popular. This information is used to improve pakgame. Individual player data collected by analytics cookies is not linked back to your personal identity.

10.4 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time. Please be aware that blocking essential cookies will prevent pakgame from functioning correctly. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help section of all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

11. Marketing Communications

Pakgame may send you promotional emails, bonus notifications, and platform updates if you have opted in to marketing communications during registration or at any point afterwards through your account settings. Marketing communications from pakgame will always be clearly identified as coming from pakgame.im.

11.1 Opting Out

You can stop receiving marketing emails from pakgame at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email, or by updating your communication preferences in your pakgame account settings, or by contacting support@pakgame.im. Opt-out requests are processed within 5 working days. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications — you will still receive emails about your deposits, withdrawals, and account security.

11.2 Transactional Communications

Pakgame sends certain non-marketing communications regardless of your marketing preferences. These include deposit and withdrawal confirmations, password reset emails, KYC verification requests, security alerts, and important updates to terms that affect your account. These communications are necessary for the operation of your pakgame account and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active.

12. Children's Privacy

Pakgame's services are strictly intended for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we discover during the course of normal operations or KYC verification that an account holder is under 18, the account will be closed immediately, all access will be revoked, and any balance will be handled in accordance with our responsible gaming procedures.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a person under 18 in your household has registered on pakgame, please contact us immediately at support@pakgame.im. We will investigate and take appropriate action as quickly as possible. Please also ensure that your pakgame login credentials are stored securely and cannot be accessed by children in your household.

13. Security Measures

Pakgame takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it. These include:

• TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser or device and pakgame's servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest, including identity documents and payment references
• Access controls — only authorised pakgame personnel with a business need can access personal data, and all access is logged
• Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent security specialists
• Two-factor authentication options for player accounts to reduce the risk of unauthorised access
• Fraud monitoring systems that operate continuously to detect and block suspicious activity on player accounts
• Staff training on data protection principles and security practices, reviewed annually

Despite these measures, no system connected to the internet can ever be guaranteed to be completely secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, pakgame will notify affected players and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements without undue delay.

14. Third-Party Links

The pakgame platform does not contain links to external third-party websites in its main navigation or content areas. However, some game providers' information pages or support documentation may reference external resources. Pakgame is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites. If you follow any such link, please review the privacy policy of that site independently.

Pakgame's Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the pakgame.im domain and the services operated under it. It does not extend to any third-party services, payment processors' own platforms, or game provider websites that you may access separately.

15. Policy Updates

Pakgame may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect when the current version was published.

For changes that materially affect how your personal data is used — for example, a new category of data sharing or a new processing purpose — pakgame will notify you by email to your registered address before the changes take effect. For minor clarifications or administrative updates that do not materially change the substance of the policy, the updated version will simply be published on this page.

Continued use of pakgame after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you disagree with an update, you may close your account by contacting support@pakgame.im before the updated policy takes effect.
