Privacy Policy

8pkr ("we", "us", "our" or "the Platform") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy describes how 8pkr collects, uses, stores, discloses and safeguards personal information when you visit or interact with the 8pkr website located at https://8pkr.cam (the "Platform").

This Policy applies to all users of the Platform, including unregistered visitors and registered Account holders. It applies regardless of the device or method through which you access the Platform — desktop browsers, mobile browsers or any other interface.

8pkr operates as an English-language online betting and gaming information platform serving the Pakistan market. Our primary audience includes users in major Pakistani cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar, as well as Pakistani users accessing the Platform internationally.

This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Platform generally.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following definitions apply:

• "Personal Data" — any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes but is not limited to name, email address, IP address, device identifiers and behavioural data.
• "Processing" — any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, storage, adaptation, retrieval, use, disclosure and deletion.
• "Data Controller" — the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data. For users of the 8pkr Platform, the Data Controller is 8pkr.
• "Data Processor" — a third party that processes Personal Data on behalf of and under the instruction of the Data Controller.
• "User" / "you" — any individual who accesses or uses the 8pkr Platform, whether registered or unregistered.
• "Account" — a registered user profile created on the Platform following successful completion of the registration process.
• "Cookies" — small text files placed on your device by the Platform to recognise your browser, store preferences and collect usage analytics.
• "KYC" — Know Your Customer identity verification procedures, which may involve collection of identity documents and supporting information.
• "Third Party" — any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the User and 8pkr.

8pkr collects personal data in several categories depending on how you interact with the Platform. The following table summarises the primary categories of data we may collect:

8pkr collects personal data through the following primary channels:

• Direct Provision: Information you actively provide when registering an Account, completing identity verification (KYC), contacting our support team, submitting feedback or participating in Platform features.
• Automatic Collection: Technical and usage data collected automatically when you access and navigate the Platform, including IP address, browser information, device data and session behaviour, via server logs, cookies and analytics technologies.
• Third-Party Sources: Where applicable, we may receive data from identity verification service providers, fraud detection services or payment processors to the extent necessary for Platform operations and compliance. Such third-party sources operate under their own privacy frameworks.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: As described in the Cookie Policy section below, the Platform uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your browsing behaviour and preferences on the Platform.

We collect only the minimum data necessary for the purposes described in this Policy ("data minimisation"). We do not purchase personal data from unaffiliated data brokers or third-party marketing lists.

8pkr processes personal data only for specific, legitimate and clearly defined purposes. We do not use your personal data for purposes incompatible with those for which it was originally collected. Our primary processing purposes include:

• Platform Operation: To provide, maintain and improve the 8pkr Platform, including delivering educational content, managing Account functionality and ensuring Platform performance and security.
• Account Management: To create and administer your registered Account, including identity verification, password management and Account security.
• KYC & Compliance: To meet legal and regulatory obligations relating to identity verification, age verification (18+ compliance), anti-money laundering and fraud prevention requirements.
• Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, complaints and support requests, and to maintain records of communications for quality and compliance purposes.
• Analytics & Improvement: To analyse Platform usage patterns, identify technical issues and continuously improve the quality, relevance and performance of Platform Content.
• Marketing Communications: Where you have provided explicit consent, to send relevant promotional information, newsletter updates or Platform news. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities, and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, prevent and investigate fraudulent activity, security breaches, prohibited activities and other misuse of the Platform.

Where applicable data protection legislation requires a lawful basis for processing personal data, 8pkr relies on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing necessary to perform our contractual obligations to you, including providing Platform access and Account services in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as Platform security, fraud prevention, analytics and service improvement, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including KYC obligations, anti-money laundering rules and responses to lawful authority requests.
• Consent: Processing based on your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent, particularly for optional marketing communications and non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

8pkr does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to unaffiliated third parties for their independent marketing purposes. We may share your personal data in the following limited and controlled circumstances:

• Service Providers (Data Processors): We engage carefully selected third-party service providers to assist with Platform operations, including hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics platforms, KYC and identity verification services, payment technology providers and customer support tools. These providers process data only under our documented instructions and are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
• Legal & Regulatory Compliance: We may disclose personal data to competent authorities, regulators, law enforcement bodies or courts where required by applicable law, pursuant to a lawful order, or where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of 8pkr, our users or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or corporate restructuring involving 8pkr, personal data may be transferred to a successor entity as part of that transaction. Affected users will be notified through available communication channels where required by law.
• Professional Advisers: We may share data with legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisers acting under confidentiality obligations where necessary to obtain professional services.

The 8pkr Platform operates internationally and your personal data may be stored or processed in countries outside of Pakistan. Where data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to standards equivalent to those described in this Policy.

Such safeguards may include:

• Contractual clauses between 8pkr and service providers that impose data protection obligations equivalent to applicable standards;
• Use of service providers located in jurisdictions recognised as providing adequate levels of data protection;
• Implementation of appropriate technical and organisational security measures during data transfer and storage.

By using the 8pkr Platform, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Pakistan, in accordance with the safeguards described in this section.

8pkr retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting obligations. Our general retention approach is as follows:

• Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active Account and for a defined period following Account closure, as required by applicable compliance obligations.
• KYC & Identity Documents: Retained in accordance with applicable anti-money laundering and identity verification regulatory requirements, which typically mandate retention for a minimum period following the end of the business relationship.
• Transaction Records: Retained for the period required by applicable financial record-keeping obligations.
• Support Communications: Retained for a reasonable period following the resolution of your support request for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Analytics Data: Aggregated and anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Marketing Data: Retained until you withdraw your marketing consent or request removal from communications lists.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our data disposal procedures.

The 8pkr Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide a functional, personalised and analytics-informed experience. By continuing to use the Platform, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this section unless you modify your browser settings to decline them.

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for Platform operation. These cookies enable core functions such as page navigation, session management and security features. They cannot be disabled without affecting fundamental Platform functionality.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised information about how users interact with the Platform — pages visited, time spent, navigation paths and error events — to help us improve Platform performance and content relevance.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences and settings (such as language preferences and display options) to provide a more personalised experience during your visit.
• Targeting & Marketing Cookies: Where applicable, these cookies may be used to deliver relevant information based on your interests. These cookies are deployed only where you have provided consent.

Third-party analytics tools used on the Platform (such as web analytics services) may set their own cookies. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookie data, and 8pkr is not responsible for the content or practices of those third-party policies.

Subject to applicable data protection laws, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data 8pkr holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section below.

We will respond to rights requests within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing a rights request to protect your data from unauthorised access. In some cases, legal obligations may prevent us from fully complying with a deletion or restriction request.

The 8pkr Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator/license jurisdiction. 8pkr does not knowingly collect, solicit or process personal data from individuals under 18 years of age.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal information to 8pkr without your consent, please contact us immediately using the contact details in Section 16.

8pkr implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and the 8pkr Platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Access Controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis. Access logs are maintained and reviewed regularly.
• Secure Storage: Personal data is stored on secured servers with appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards in place.
• Incident Response: We maintain documented procedures for detecting, reporting and responding to personal data breaches, including notification to affected individuals and relevant authorities where required by law.
• Regular Reviews: Our security practices are reviewed periodically and updated in response to emerging threats, regulatory guidance and technological developments.

While we apply strong security standards, no system can guarantee absolute security. Users are advised to use strong, unique passwords for their Accounts, to enable any available two-factor authentication, and to report suspected unauthorised account activity immediately.

The 8pkr Platform may contain references or contextual information about third-party services, including payment providers, gambling operators and sports organisations. These references are provided for informational and educational context only.

This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the 8pkr Platform. 8pkr is not responsible for the privacy practices, data handling or content of any third-party websites, operators, payment providers or services referenced on or accessible from the Platform.

If you navigate to a third-party website or service, including any gambling operator to which 8pkr may provide information, you do so at your own risk and under that third party's own privacy policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you choose to use.

8pkr reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes may be made to reflect updates to applicable laws, regulatory requirements, Platform functionality, our data practices or other relevant factors.

When material changes are made to this Policy, 8pkr will endeavour to notify registered Users through available communication channels, such as a prominent notice on the Platform or an email notification to your registered address. The "Effective Date" at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version came into force.

We encourage all users to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting and processing your personal data.
