Pak Gem Privacy Policy — How We Protect Your Data

1. Introduction

Pak Gem ("we", "us", "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy of every player who uses our website and services. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have in relation to your own data.

By registering an account on Pak Gem and using any part of our platform — including Sports Betting, Live Casino, Fish Games, Deposit services, VIP programme, and Promotions — you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described within it.

This policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming guidelines, both of which contain additional information relevant to your use of the platform.

2. Data We Collect

Pak Gem collects only the information that is necessary to operate your account, process your transactions, and keep the platform secure. The categories of data we collect are as follows:

We do not collect sensitive categories of personal data such as health information, religious beliefs, or political opinions. We do not collect data from social media profiles unless you explicitly link an account through a feature that requests it.

3. How We Collect Your Data

Personal data is collected through the following means:

• Direct registration: When you fill out the registration form on Pak Gem, you provide your name, mobile number, date of birth, and create your login credentials.
• Verification requests: When Pak Gem requests identity or age verification, you may provide a copy of your CNIC or another form of government-issued identification.
• Transactions: When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, or other supported method, transaction data is recorded.
• Platform usage: As you browse, bet, and play on Pak Gem, technical and usage data is automatically collected through standard web technologies.
• Customer support: When you contact our support team, the content of those communications is recorded for quality assurance and dispute resolution.
• Cookies and tracking technologies: See the Cookies section below for details on how we use cookies and similar technologies.

4. How We Use Your Data

Pak Gem uses collected personal data for the following purposes:

• To create, manage, and maintain your player account.
• To process deposits and withdrawals in PKR through your chosen payment method.
• To verify your identity and confirm you meet the age requirement of 18 years or above.
• To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, account sharing, and other prohibited activities described in our Terms and Conditions.
• To personalise your platform experience — for example, surfacing cricket betting markets prominently during PSL season based on your previous activity.
• To send you important account notifications, including deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, bonus activations, and security alerts.
• To send promotional communications about Pak Gem offers and new features, where you have not opted out of receiving them.
• To monitor responsible gaming indicators and, where appropriate, apply account-level safeguards such as deposit limits.
• To comply with any applicable legal or regulatory obligations that apply to the operation of the platform.
• To improve the platform based on aggregated, anonym ised usage data and player feedback.

5. Sharing Your Data

Pak Gem does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances only:

• Service providers: We work with trusted third-party companies who help us run the platform. This includes payment processors, game software providers, identity verification services, and cloud hosting providers. These partners are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
• Fraud prevention and security: Data may be shared with fraud detection services or financial crime monitoring tools where necessary to protect the platform and its players.
• Legal requirements: If Pak Gem is required to disclose information by a court order, lawful request, or other legal obligation, we will comply with that requirement.
• Business transfers: In the event that Pak Gem undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, player data may be transferred as part of that transaction. Players will be notified of any such change and of any impact on their data.

In all cases where data is shared with third parties, Pak Gem takes reasonable steps to ensure those parties maintain appropriate data security standards.

6. Payment Data

All financial transactions on Pak Gem are processed through certified third-party payment gateways. When you deposit via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, or bank transfer, your payment credentials are handled directly by those providers and are subject to their own privacy and security policies.

Pak Gem records transaction metadata — such as the payment method used, the PKR amount, the date and time, and the outcome of the transaction — for account management, fraud prevention, and withdrawal verification purposes. We do not store raw bank account numbers, JazzCash wallet PINs, or card CVV details on our servers.

All deposits and withdrawals must be made using a payment account registered in your own name. This is a strict requirement and is part of our commitment to preventing financial misuse of the platform.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Pak Gem uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work correctly and to improve your experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit our website. Here is how we use them:

• Essential cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They keep you logged in, maintain your session, and remember basic preferences. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting core platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies: We use anonymised analytics data to understand how players navigate the platform, which games are most popular, and where technical issues arise. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Preference cookies: These remember settings you have chosen, such as your preferred language or display options, so you do not have to reconfigure them on each visit.
• Security cookies: Some cookies are used specifically to detect suspicious activity, prevent automated access, and protect the platform from abuse.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may limit some functionality of the Pak Gem platform.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

Pak Gem retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to allow for any account disputes, withdrawal processing, or legal obligations to be resolved.

As a general guideline:

• Account registration data is kept for the duration of your account and for a period of up to five years after account closure.
• Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years in line with standard financial record-keeping practices.
• Customer support communications are retained for up to three years after the conversation is closed.
• Technical and usage logs are typically retained for 12 to 24 months before being deleted or anonymised.

Where data is no longer required for any of the purposes outlined in this policy, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you individually.

9. How We Keep Your Data Secure

Pak Gem takes data security seriously and applies a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

• All data transmitted between your device and Pak Gem is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
• Access to personal data within our systems is restricted to staff and systems that have a genuine operational need for it.
• Payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant payment providers.
• We conduct regular internal reviews of data handling practices and access controls.
• Accounts are protected by password hashing, and we support two-factor authentication for additional login security.

10. Your Data Rights

As a Pak Gem player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these, contact our customer support team and we will respond as promptly as possible:

• Right to access: You can request a copy of the personal data Pak Gem holds about you at any time.
• Right to correction: If any of the information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, you have the right to ask us to correct it.
• Right to deletion: In certain circumstances, you can request that Pak Gem deletes your personal data. Note that some data may need to be retained to comply with legal obligations even after a deletion request.
• Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain situations, for example while a dispute is being resolved.
• Right to object: You have the right to object to your data being used for direct marketing purposes at any time.
• Right to data portability: Where technically feasible, you can request that we provide your data in a structured, commonly used format so you can transfer it if needed.

We aim to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days. In cases where a request is complex or there are a high volume of requests, we may extend this by a further 30 days, and we will notify you if that extension is needed.

11. Minors and Age Restriction

Pak Gem is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that an account has been registered by a minor, we will close the account immediately and take appropriate steps to securely delete or handle the associated data.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has registered on Pak Gem using your payment methods or personal details, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take action.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Pak Gem may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in applicable standards, or improvements to our data practices. When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

For material changes — those that significantly affect how your data is used or your rights in relation to it — we will notify registered players through the platform or by message to the contact details on file. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you are always aware of how your information is being handled.

Continued use of Pak Gem after an updated policy has been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
