Privacy Policy

pak350, accessible at https://pak350.cam ("Site", "we", "us", "our"), is an independent English-language information and editorial resource for Pakistani users with an interest in online sports betting and casino gaming. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to handling any information you share with us — or that we collect during your use of the Site — in a responsible, transparent and lawful manner.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out in full what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how long we keep it, who we may share it with and what rights you hold in relation to it. It applies to all visitors and users of the Site, regardless of geographic location, though it is written with Pakistani users particularly in mind.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please discontinue use of the Site. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Site as a whole.

For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below:

This Policy applies to:

• All visitors to and users of the Site, including users located in Pakistan (Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and beyond) and internationally;
• All Personal Data collected directly (e.g., through contact forms) or indirectly (e.g., through analytics tools) via the Site;
• All Personal Data processed by pak350 in connection with the operation of the Site.

This Policy does not apply to the data practices of third-party gambling operators, sportsbooks or casino platforms referenced on this Site. Those entities operate under their own privacy policies, which you should review independently before registering, depositing or sharing personal information with them. pak350 has no control over how third-party operators collect or process your data.

Similarly, payment service providers referenced on this Site for context purposes — such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — operate under their own privacy frameworks. References to these providers on this Site are contextual only and do not imply any data-sharing arrangement between pak350 and these institutions.

pak350 operates on a minimal data collection principle. We collect only what is reasonably necessary for the operation of the Site and the delivery of our informational service. The categories of data we may collect are as follows:

4.1 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain data may be collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools:

This automatically collected data is typically processed in aggregate and anonymised form. We do not use it to identify you personally unless required for security or legal purposes.

4.2 Data Provided Voluntarily

If you contact us via email at [email protected], you may voluntarily provide:

• Your name (first name, or the name you choose to provide);
• Your email address;
• The content of your message or enquiry;
• Any other information you choose to include in your communication.

We will use this information only for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and for any follow-up correspondence that is reasonably necessary. We will not add your email address to any marketing list without your explicit opt-in consent.

4.3 Data We Do Not Collect

For the avoidance of doubt, pak350 does not collect:

• Payment card details, bank account information or financial data of any kind;
• CNIC numbers, passport numbers or other government-issued identity document data;
• Biometric data or health-related data;
• Gambling account credentials or third-party platform login details;
• Location data beyond the approximate country or region level derived from IP address.

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for the processing of Personal Data, pak350 relies on the following:

• Legitimate Interests: The processing of automatically collected technical and analytics data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating, maintaining, securing and improving the Site. We have assessed that such processing does not override your interests or fundamental rights, given the minimal and largely aggregated nature of the data involved.
• Contractual Necessity / Pre-contractual Steps: Where you contact us with a specific enquiry, processing your contact details is necessary to respond to and manage that enquiry.
• Consent: Where we ask for your consent before processing data for a specific purpose (such as subscribing to a newsletter, if introduced in future), we will rely on that consent as the legal basis. You may withdraw consent at any time without detriment.
• Legal Obligation: We may process or retain Personal Data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

pak350 uses the Personal Data it collects only for the following purposes:

• Site Operation & Technical Management: To ensure the Site functions correctly, to diagnose and resolve technical issues, and to maintain the security and integrity of our infrastructure.
• Analytics & Content Improvement: To understand how users navigate the Site, which content is most useful, and where we can improve the quality and relevance of our editorial output — particularly in relation to Pakistan-focused cricket, PSL, sports betting and casino guides.
• Responding to Enquiries: To reply to messages sent to us at [email protected] and to provide any follow-up information reasonably necessary to address your query.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent, abusive or harmful activity in connection with the Site.
• Legal Compliance: To meet any legal obligations applicable to our operation of the Site, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities.

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support its operation and to collect the analytics data described above. This Section explains what cookies we use and how you can control them.

7.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit, improving your experience on subsequent visits and enabling the site operator to analyse usage patterns.

7.2 Types of Cookies We Use

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels for behavioural advertising, or social media cookies that build advertising profiles.

7.3 Managing Cookies

You can manage, restrict or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to:

• View and delete existing cookies stored on your device;
• Block all cookies by default;
• Allow cookies only from specific sites you trust;
• Configure alerts when a new cookie is about to be set.

Please note that restricting or deleting essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to access Site content but will reduce our ability to improve the user experience over time.

pak350 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise commercially transfer your Personal Data to any third party. We may, however, share data in the following limited circumstances:

8.1 Service Providers

We may engage trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site — for example, web hosting providers, content delivery network operators and analytics platforms. These providers act as Data Processors under documented instructions and are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than those we specify. We select service providers that maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

8.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory direction or other lawful governmental request. We will endeavour to notify you of any such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so and where it is practicable.

8.3 Business Transfers

In the event that pak350 undergoes a change of ownership, merger, acquisition or sale of assets, Personal Data held by us may form part of the transferred assets. We will notify users of any such transfer by updating this Policy and, where appropriate, by providing direct notice where we hold contact information.

8.4 What We Will Never Do

• We will never sell your Personal Data to data brokers, advertisers or marketing companies;
• We will never share your data with third-party gambling operators without your knowledge and explicit consent;
• We will never share your data with payment providers — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast or any bank — in connection with your use of this Site.

We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention approach is as follows:

When Personal Data is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it in a manner that prevents reconstruction of the original data. Where anonymisation is not practicable, we will restrict further processing of the data pending deletion.

pak350 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect Personal Data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption across all pages of the Site (TLS/SSL), ensuring that data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted in transit;
• Access controls limiting access to Personal Data to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular security assessments of our hosting environment and third-party service providers;
• Timely application of security patches and updates to Site infrastructure.

Depending on your jurisdiction and the applicable data protection laws, you may hold some or all of the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by pak350:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. We will acknowledge your request promptly and endeavour to respond fully within a reasonable timeframe, typically 30 days. We may require you to verify your identity before processing your request, to ensure we do not inadvertently disclose or delete data belonging to another person.

Please note that these rights may be subject to legal limitations or exemptions. Where we are unable to fulfil a request in full, we will explain the reason for any limitation.

The Site is accessible globally, and data collected through the Site may be processed or stored on servers located outside Pakistan. Where Personal Data is transferred to servers or service providers in other jurisdictions, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data protection safeguards are in place, consistent with applicable law.

Such safeguards may include contractual protections with our service providers requiring them to maintain appropriate security standards and process data only as instructed. Where we engage analytics or infrastructure providers, we select those with established, publicly documented data protection practices.

If you are located in Pakistan and are concerned about data transfers, please contact us at [email protected] and we will provide further information specific to the processing activities relevant to your enquiry.

The Site is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and over. Gambling-related content — even in informational and educational form — is not appropriate for children or minors. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we become aware that Personal Data has been submitted by or on behalf of a person under the age of 18, we will promptly delete that information from our systems. If you believe that a minor has submitted Personal Data to us, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

The Site may reference or provide contextual information about third-party online gambling operators, sportsbooks and casino platforms. If you choose to access any such platform, you will be subject to that platform's own privacy policy — not this one. pak350 has no control over the data practices of any third-party operator and accepts no responsibility or liability for how those operators collect, use or protect your Personal Data.

Before registering with any third-party gambling platform, we strongly recommend that you:

• Read that platform's Privacy Policy in full;
• Review their KYC data requirements and understand what identity documents will be requested;
• Confirm how they store and process payment data, particularly if using services such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast or bank transfers;
• Understand their data retention and deletion policies.

pak350 does not collect, process or hold any data on behalf of third-party gambling operators. We are an independent editorial resource with no data-sharing relationship with any such operator unless explicitly and separately disclosed.

pak350 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify users of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes that materially affect how we process your Personal Data, we may also provide additional notice where we hold contact information that enables us to do so.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site following the publication of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes, you may discontinue using the Site and request deletion of any Personal Data we hold about you by contacting us as described in Section 16.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way pak350 handles your Personal Data, please contact us using the details below. We take all privacy enquiries seriously and will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

If you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy concern, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. In Pakistan, matters related to online data and electronic communications may fall within the remit of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) or other competent bodies, depending on the nature of the complaint. We encourage you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to resolve your concern directly.
