pk556 Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

pk556 is an internationally licensed online gaming operator providing sports betting, casino games, live dealer tables, slots, jackpots and related gaming services to eligible adult players. In the course of operating the pk556 platform and providing services to our registered players, we collect and process certain personal information about you.

We take privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy sets out clearly and honestly what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have in relation to it. We have written this document in plain English, avoiding unnecessary legal complexity, so that every pk556 player — from Karachi to Lahore to Faisalabad — can understand exactly how their information is handled.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the pk556 Terms & Conditions. Capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given to them in the Terms & Conditions.

8 International Data Transfers

pk556 is an internationally licensed operator and, as such, your personal data may be processed in countries outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, pk556 takes appropriate steps to ensure that your data receives an equivalent level of protection to that which applies within the jurisdiction of our gaming licence, including through the use of contractual safeguards with data processors located in third countries.

Specifically, payment confirmation data may be processed by JazzCash and EasyPaisa within Pakistan, while certain cloud infrastructure, game software delivery and KYC verification services may be provided by processors in other jurisdictions. In each case, such processors are contractually bound to protect your data and are prohibited from using it beyond the scope of the service they provide to pk556.

9 How Long We Keep Your Data

pk556 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and our gaming licence obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account and identity data — Retained for the duration of your account plus a minimum of five years following account closure, as required by AML and gaming licence obligations.
• Transaction and gaming records — Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction, in compliance with financial record-keeping requirements.
• KYC verification documents — Retained for the duration of your account plus five years, or longer if required by applicable law or regulatory request.
• Support communications — Retained for a minimum of three years from the date of last communication.
• Marketing data — Retained until you withdraw consent or until 12 months of inactivity, whichever is sooner.
• Technical and log data — Retained for a period of up to 12 months for security and fraud investigation purposes.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an identifiable individual.

10 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

pk556 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the pk556 platform for the following purposes:

• Essential / session cookies — Required for the platform to function correctly. These cookies maintain your login session, store your language and currency preferences, and enable secure navigation between pages. These cookies cannot be disabled without preventing your use of the platform.
• Security cookies — Used to detect and prevent fraudulent login attempts, bot activity and account takeover attempts. These are essential for the security of your account.
• Performance cookies — Anonymous analytics cookies that help pk556 understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most frequently, where technical errors occur, and how load times can be improved. No personally identifiable information is captured by these cookies.
• Functional cookies — Cookies that remember your preferences (such as your preferred lobby view or responsible gaming settings) to provide a more personalised experience on your next visit.

pk556 does not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels for external ad networks, or any cookies that share your data with social media platforms. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to your pk556 account.

11 Security Measures

pk556 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction:

• All data transmitted between your device and the pk556 platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by major Pakistani banking institutions including HBL and UBL.
• Player passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing algorithms. pk556 does not store passwords in plain text and cannot retrieve your password — only reset it.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS to your registered Pakistani mobile number is available for all accounts and is strongly recommended.
• Access to player data within pk556 is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Support staff have access only to the data necessary to assist with your specific enquiry.
• Our platform infrastructure is hosted in secure data centres with physical access controls, redundant power and network infrastructure, and regular independent security audits.
• pk556 maintains an incident response procedure for data breaches. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, affected players will be notified without undue delay.

12 Your Data Rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection law, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by pk556. All rights requests should be submitted through our support team and will be processed within 30 days:

Please note that certain rights are subject to legal limitations — for example, pk556 cannot delete data that it is legally required to retain under our gaming licence or AML obligations. Where we are unable to fulfil a data rights request in full, we will explain the reason in writing.

13 Children & Minors

The pk556 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. pk556 does not knowingly collect, process or retain personal data from any person under the age of 21. Age verification is mandatory for all accounts before any real-money gaming activity is permitted. Where pk556 discovers that personal data has been collected from an individual who is under 21, that data will be deleted promptly and the account will be permanently closed.

Parents and guardians of minors who believe that a child may have accessed or registered on the pk556 platform are encouraged to contact our support team immediately. We take all such reports seriously and act on them without delay.

14 Marketing Communications

pk556 may send you promotional communications — including bonus offers, free-spin promotions, PSL special odds alerts and platform news — by SMS or email, subject to the following conditions:

• You have expressly opted in to receive marketing communications from pk556 during account registration or through your account settings at a later date.
• Each marketing communication will include a clear and simple mechanism to opt out of future messages.
• You can withdraw your marketing consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your pk556 account settings or by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of marketing sent before withdrawal.
• pk556 does not share your contact information with unaffiliated third parties for the purpose of sending you their own marketing materials.

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, pk556 will continue to send you transactional and account-related communications that are necessary for the operation of your account — such as withdrawal confirmations, security alerts and responsible gaming notifications.

15 Updates to This Privacy Policy

pk556 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or regulatory requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification prior to the changes taking effect, and we will update the Effective Date at the top of this document.

Your continued use of the pk556 platform following notification of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not accept an updated Privacy Policy, you must cease using the platform and may request account closure in accordance with the pk556 Terms & Conditions.
