All third parties with whom pk356 shares personal data are contractually required to process that data only for the specified purposes and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

7. International Data Transfers

The pk356 Platform serves players across Pakistan, and some of our service providers and data processors may be located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, pk356 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, and, where applicable, adequacy decisions.

By using the pk356 Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may have different data protection laws. pk356 takes all reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are conducted securely and lawfully.

8. Data Retention

pk356 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following minimum retention periods:

• Account and KYC data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with anti-money laundering regulatory requirements.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following each transaction, as required for financial record-keeping.
• Communications data: Retained for three (3) years following last contact, unless a longer period is required by law or ongoing dispute resolution.
• Technical and device data: Typically retained for twelve (12) months for security and fraud monitoring purposes, after which it is anonymised or deleted.
• Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion, provided no other legal basis applies.

Where data is no longer required for any purpose and no legal retention obligation applies, pk356 securely deletes or anonymises it.

9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

pk356 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. The categories of cookies used include:

11. Security Measures

pk356 implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the risk level associated with the personal data we process. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption across all Platform pages and data transmissions.
• Encrypted storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms.
• Payment tokenisation — full card and wallet numbers are never stored on pk356 servers.
• Regular independent security audits and penetration testing.
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
• Incident response procedures for detecting, reporting, and remedying personal data breaches.

While pk356 applies best-practice security standards, no platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own account credentials. Report any suspected compromise to pk356 support immediately.

12. Minors

The pk356 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 years and over. pk356 does not knowingly collect or process personal data from persons under the age of 18. If we become aware that personal data belonging to a minor has been collected, we will take immediate steps to close the account and delete the relevant data.

If you believe that a minor has registered on pk356, please contact [email protected] immediately. 18+ only — no exceptions.

13. Third-Party Links

The pk356 Platform may contain links to third-party websites or services, including game provider portals and payment method information pages. These third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies, which pk356 does not control and is not responsible for.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access from pk356. The inclusion of any link does not constitute an endorsement by pk356 of the linked website or its privacy practices.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

pk356 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or Platform services. Material changes will be communicated to registered users via email to their registered address and/or via a prominent notice on the Platform, no less than seven (7) days before the changes take effect.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the revised policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform and may request account closure.
