// Data Protection & Privacy
This Privacy Policy explains how pka888 collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players registered on the pka888 platform. Your privacy matters to us — this document sets out your rights and our obligations clearly and in plain English.
// Our Privacy Commitments
pka888 is committed to handling your personal information responsibly. These six principles guide every data-related decision we make on behalf of Pakistani players on our platform.
All personal and financial data held by pka888 is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3. Your CNIC details, payment information, and account credentials are never stored in plain text.
pka888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers under any circumstances. Your data is shared only with strictly necessary service providers — KYC partners, payment processors, and our licensing authority — as required to operate the platform.
You have the right to access, correct, download, and request deletion of your personal data held by pka888. Submit a data request via live chat or email and we will respond within 30 days, subject to our legal retention obligations.
pka888 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to provide our services, verify your identity, and comply with our regulatory obligations. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes beyond those stated in this Privacy Policy.
pka888 uses cookies solely to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and measure platform performance through anonymised analytics. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You may manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via your browser settings.
When data sharing with third parties is necessary, pka888 enforces data processing agreements that require those parties to handle your information to at least the same standard as pka888 itself. We audit third-party compliance on a regular basis.
pka888 ("we", "us", "our") operates the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at pka888.org. This Privacy Policy describes in plain and precise terms how pka888 collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects the personal information of all players and visitors who access or use the pka888 platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to all data processing activities carried out by pka888 in connection with the operation of the platform, including account registration, identity verification (KYC), deposits and withdrawals, sports betting and casino gameplay, customer support interactions, and marketing communications where consent has been provided.
By registering an account with pka888, making a deposit, or otherwise using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you must not use the pka888 platform.
For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, pka888 is the data controller responsible for the personal information collected through the pka888 platform. As data controller, pka888 determines the purposes for which and the means by which your personal data is processed.

pka888 strictly prohibits the use of its platform by individuals under the age of 21. The pka888 platform is not directed at children or minors, and pka888 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under 21 years of age.
As part of our KYC verification process, all players are required to confirm their age by providing valid government-issued identity documentation.

pka888 operates as an international gaming platform and, in the course of providing its services, may transfer your personal data to service providers and partners located outside Pakistan. Such transfers may include, for example, cloud infrastructure providers, game software companies, or KYC verification services operating in other jurisdictions.

Non-material changes, such as typographical corrections or clarifications that do not affect the substance of the policy, may take effect immediately upon publication.
