5. Purposes of Processing

pk58 processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:

• Account Creation and Management: To register, maintain, and support your account on the Platform.
• Identity and Age Verification (KYC): To confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement (18+ or the higher threshold required by the operator's license jurisdiction) and that you are who you claim to be.
• Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance: To monitor transactions for suspicious activity and fulfil reporting obligations as required by applicable law.
• Payment Processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals through available payment channels, including bank transfers and other methods available in the Pakistani market.

• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable AML obligations, regulatory requirements, and lawful authority requests.

• Consent: Processing for marketing communications or certain optional data uses, where you have freely and explicitly given consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

7.1 Third-Party Service Providers

pk58 may share your personal data with third-party processors who provide services necessary to operate the Platform. These include KYC and identity verification providers, payment processors, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, fraud detection and cybersecurity services, and customer support platform providers. All third-party processors are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection principles and our contractual instructions.

7.2 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

pk58 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, regulatory bodies, or other public authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory obligation. Such disclosures will be limited to what is strictly necessary to comply with the legal requirement.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of pk58's business, personal data held by pk58 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any such transfer where required by applicable law.

7.4 No Sale of Data

pk58 does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Payment provider names referenced on the Platform — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Bank Alfalah — are contextual references only. These providers do not receive your personal data from pk58 unless you directly engage their services as a payment method.

8. International Data Transfers

pk58 operates an internationally accessible platform. Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Pakistan, including countries where data protection law may differ from that applicable in your jurisdiction. Where such transfers occur, pk58 takes reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as data processing agreements with third-party processors that include standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred internationally as described in this section. If you have concerns about international data transfers, please contact our support team.

9. Data Retention

pk58 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy applicable legal, AML, KYC, and regulatory retention requirements. The following general retention principles apply:

• Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account and for a period thereafter as required by applicable AML and legal obligations, typically five to seven years.
• KYC and Identity Documents: Retained in accordance with AML regulations applicable to the operator's jurisdiction. Documents submitted through our verification portal are not retained beyond the period required by applicable law.
• Transaction Records: Retained in line with financial record-keeping requirements, typically for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction.
• Support Communications: Retained for a period sufficient to resolve disputes and meet quality assurance obligations, typically two to three years.
• Marketing Consent Records: Retained for as long as your consent is active, plus a reasonable period thereafter to demonstrate that consent was obtained.

After the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

10. Your Rights as a User

Subject to applicable law and any overriding legal obligations (such as AML retention requirements), you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data processed by pk58:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data pk58 holds about you and information about how it is processed.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data is corrected or updated.
• Right to Erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where processing is unlawful — subject to legal retention obligations.
• Right to Restriction: You have the right to request that pk58 restricts the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, where your individual circumstances warrant such an objection.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact pk58 support. We will endeavour to respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. Some requests may be declined where pk58 has overriding legal obligations that require retention or continued processing.

11. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

11.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, session status, and browsing behaviour — over a session or across multiple visits.

11.2 How pk58 Uses Cookies

pk58 uses the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication tokens and security cookies. They cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences such as language settings, responsible gambling limit configurations, and notification preferences.
• Analytical Cookies: Used to understand how Users interact with the Platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where errors occur. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual identities for analytical purposes.
• Security and Fraud Detection Cookies: Used to identify and prevent suspicious access patterns, bot activity, and potential account takeover attempts.

11.3 Managing Cookies

You may manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help documentation for your browser.

12. Security Measures

pk58 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• TLS/HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Platform;
• Encryption at rest for sensitive personal and financial data stored on our systems;
• Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular security reviews and penetration testing;
• Multi-factor authentication options for user accounts;
• Session timeouts and anomaly detection for suspicious login activity;
• Contractual data protection obligations imposed on all third-party processors.

While pk58 takes reasonable steps to protect your data, no online system can guarantee absolute security. Users are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords and to enable available two-factor authentication options to reduce the risk of unauthorised account access.

13. Minors and Age Restriction

pk58 is strictly for adults. The Platform is not intended for use by individuals under the age of eighteen (18), or the higher minimum age required by the operator's applicable license jurisdiction. pk58 does not knowingly collect or process personal data from minors.

If pk58 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a user who does not meet the applicable minimum age requirement, we will take immediate steps to delete the relevant data and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on the Platform, please contact our support team immediately.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

pk58 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Where changes are material — meaning they affect the nature of data collected, the purposes of processing, or your rights as a user — we will notify registered users via the Platform or by email where contact details are available.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to remain informed of how your data is being handled. Your continued use of the Platform following a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
