This Privacy Policy explains how pk40 (https://pk40.cam) collects, uses, stores, shares and protects any personal data or technical information gathered when you access or browse our platform. We are committed to handling your information with transparency and care.
pk40 applies technical and organisational measures to safeguard any personal data collected from users across Pakistan — from Karachi to Peshawar — including HTTPS encryption and access controls.
pk40 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data is used only to operate and improve the Platform as described in this Policy.
You have rights over your personal data — including the right to access, correct, and request deletion of information we hold about you. This Policy explains how to exercise those rights.
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the Platform is used and to improve the user experience. Our cookie practices are described fully in this Policy.
pk40 is accessible globally and is particularly focused on Pakistani users. We acknowledge applicable data protection principles and aim to handle all data lawfully and proportionately.
For any data-related query, correction request, or deletion request, you can contact pk40 directly. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 2–3 business days.
pk40 ("we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") operates the website accessible at https://pk40.cam. pk40 is an independent, English-language information platform providing educational content on online sports betting, casino gaming, responsible gambling, and related topics, primarily for users in Pakistan — including readers in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, and across the country.
This Privacy Policy describes the types of information pk40 may collect when you visit the Platform, the purposes for which that information is used, how it is stored and protected, and the rights you have in relation to your data. This Policy applies to all users of the pk40 Platform, regardless of where they are located.
By continuing to use the pk40 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any provision of this Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform.
Platform Reminder: pk40 is an information-only platform. We do not operate a gambling service, process financial transactions, or hold user gambling accounts. This Policy governs data collected during your use of the information platform only — not any Third-Party Operator you may visit independently.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the Data Controller is the operator of the pk40 Platform (https://pk40.cam). pk40 is an independent information platform and does not represent any Pakistani government body, the Government of Pakistan, PTA, State Bank of Pakistan, PCB, PSL, ICC, or any Pakistani financial institution.
Any enquiries regarding the exercise of your data rights or the practices described in this Policy should be directed to pk40 at the contact details provided in Section 16 of this Policy.
Note: pk40 does not collect payment information, CNIC numbers, or financial account details. No such data is requested from users of this information Platform at any point.
pk40 may collect the following categories of data when you use the Platform:
When you visit the Platform, our web server and analytics systems may automatically record certain technical information, including:
This data is collected in aggregate for statistical and performance purposes and is not typically used to identify individual users directly.
If you contact pk40 directly (for example, by emailing our support address), we will receive and store the personal data you voluntarily include in your message, such as your name and email address. We will use this information solely to respond to your enquiry.
pk40 may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect data about how the Platform is used. Refer to Section 8 of this Policy for full details on our cookie practices.
| Data Category | Examples | Collected By |
|---|---|---|
| Technical / Device Data | IP address, browser, OS, device type | Server logs, analytics tools |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, session duration, click paths | Analytics cookies |
| Communication Data | Name, email (if you contact us) | Email submission |
| Cookie Identifiers | Anonymous session IDs, preference tokens | First-party cookies |
Data is collected through the following mechanisms on the pk40 Platform:
pk40 does not collect data through registration forms, login portals, financial transaction systems, or any other active data-submission mechanisms that would require you to enter personal details simply to browse the informational content of this Platform.
pk40 processes personal data on the following legal bases, consistent with generally recognised data protection principles:
pk40 uses the data it collects for the following purposes only:
pk40 does not use your data for:
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or session state. Cookies do not contain or transmit viruses and cannot execute code.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core Platform functions such as page rendering and session continuity | Yes |
| Analytics / Performance | Aggregate, anonymised data on page visits, session lengths and traffic sources — used to improve content | No (consent-based) |
| Preference | Remember UI preferences such as display settings if applicable | No (consent-based) |
You may control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Most modern browsers — including those used on Android and iOS devices common in Pakistan — allow you to block or delete cookies at any time. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair the functioning of the Platform.
For specific instructions on managing cookies, refer to the help documentation of your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
pk40 does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise commercially transfer your personal data to third parties. However, limited sharing may occur in the following circumstances:
Third-Party Operators: If you navigate from pk40 to a Third-Party Operator platform, any data you provide to that operator is governed by that operator's own privacy policy — not this Policy. pk40 has no access to or control over data collected by Third-Party Operators.
pk40 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.
| Data Type | Typical Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Server access logs (IP, timestamps) | Up to 90 days, then deleted or anonymised |
| Analytics data (aggregated, anonymised) | Up to 26 months (standard analytics window) |
| Email correspondence | Up to 12 months after resolution of the enquiry |
| Cookie identifiers | Session cookies: deleted on browser close. Persistent cookies: up to 13 months or until you clear them |
When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or permanently anonymised so it can no longer identify an individual. We review data retention practices periodically to ensure proportionality.
pk40 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
While pk40 takes data security seriously, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a significant risk to your rights and freedoms, we will take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable legal obligations, which may include notifying affected users where we have the means to do so.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights in relation to personal data that pk40 holds about you. We will endeavour to honour these rights to the fullest extent practically possible, given the limited data we collect.
You may request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you, and if so, a copy of that data along with information about how it is used.
If personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or completed without undue delay.
You may request that we delete personal data we hold about you where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing, such as where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while an accuracy dispute is being resolved.
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Where applicable and technically feasible, you may request that personal data you provided be returned to you in a structured, machine-readable format.
Where processing is based on consent (for example, non-essential cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
To exercise any of the rights above, please contact pk40 using the details provided in Section 16. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe — generally within 30 days of receiving a verifiable request. We may need to verify your identity before processing rights requests.
The pk40 Platform is intended solely for users who are 18 years of age or older — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction. Gambling-related content is not appropriate for minors and pk40 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the applicable minimum age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has accessed the pk40 Platform or provided personal data without your consent, please contact us immediately at the details in Section 16 and we will take appropriate steps to remove that data from our records.
pk40 does not market to, profile, or intentionally target minors. All content on this Platform is intended for adult audiences only.
The pk40 Platform may reference or describe Third-Party Operator platforms (online betting and casino websites). If you choose to navigate to any such platform, you will be leaving the pk40 website and entering a completely separate online environment operated by a third party.
pk40 has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the privacy practices, data collection activities, terms, or content of any Third-Party Operator. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any Third-Party Operator before submitting any personal data or financial information to that platform.
The inclusion of information about a Third-Party Operator on pk40 does not constitute an endorsement of that operator's data practices or any other aspect of their service.
pk40 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable legal requirements, or the functionality of the Platform. Any changes will be effective immediately upon publication of the revised Policy on this page.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised whenever a material change is made. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
Your continued use of the pk40 Platform after any update to this Policy constitutes your acknowledgement and acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any updated provision, you should discontinue use of the Platform.
Material Changes: Where a change to this Policy materially alters the way we process data collected from users in ways that are less favourable to those users, we will make reasonable efforts to bring such changes to users' attention — for example, by prominently noting the change on the Platform's homepage for a reasonable period.
For any questions, concerns, data subject rights requests, or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy or pk40's data practices, please contact us using the details below. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 2–3 business days.
