For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, pkr598 acts as the data controller in respect of the personal data you provide when registering for and using the Platform. As data controller, pkr598 is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal data and for ensuring that processing is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and the privacy standards required under our gaming licence.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how pkr598 handles your personal data, our dedicated privacy contact is available at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all data-related enquiries within 72 hours.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected and processed by pkr598 in connection with your use of the Platform, including:

• The pkr598 website at pkr598.net and all subdomains and pages within it.

We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with independently of pkr598.

Data We Collect

pkr598 collects the following categories of personal data in connection with the operation of the Platform:

pkr598 does not collect or process special category data (such as health data, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or biometric data) unless you voluntarily disclose such information in a customer support context, in which case it will be handled with the highest level of care and will not be used for any purpose other than resolving the matter at hand.

How We Collect Data

pkr598 collects personal data through the following means:

• Direct collection: Data you provide when creating an Account, completing KYC verification, making a deposit or withdrawal, contacting customer support, entering a promotion, or updating your Account settings.
• Automated collection: Technical and usage data collected automatically as you interact with the Platform through cookies, web server logs, and similar tracking technologies. See Section 7 for full details of our cookie practices.
• Third-party sources: Identity and address verification data obtained from licensed KYC providers (such as identity document verification services) when you submit documents for KYC purposes. pkr598 may also receive fraud risk signals from payment processors in connection with deposit and withdrawal requests.
• Publicly available sources: In limited circumstances, pkr598 may cross-reference information against publicly available databases as part of AML due diligence obligations under our gaming licence.

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to perform our contractual obligations to you under the Terms and Conditions — including account management, payment processing, game delivery, and customer support.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with our gaming licence conditions, anti-money-laundering obligations, and any other applicable legal or regulatory requirements — including KYC identity verification and transaction record-keeping.
• Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for pkr598's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, security monitoring, Platform analytics, and product improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Processing for which you have given explicit consent, including receiving marketing communications via email, SMS, or push notification. You may withdraw consent for consent-based processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

• Creating and managing your pkr598 Account, including processing login requests and maintaining your account balance and transaction history.
• Verifying your identity and age as required by our gaming licence — including processing KYC documents and, where necessary, conducting enhanced due diligence on high-value accounts.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and bank transfer, and maintaining records of all financial transactions for the minimum period required by our licensing authority.
• Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, account abuse, and other prohibited conduct as described in the pkr598 Terms and Conditions.
• Administering bonuses, promotions, and the Coins loyalty programme, including verifying eligibility, tracking wagering requirements, and processing redemptions.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings panel available on the Platform. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair or prevent access to the Platform, as these cookies are essential to its security and functionality.

pkr598 does not use cookies to build profiles of you for sale to third-party advertisers or data brokers.

Data Sharing

pkr598 does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially share your personal data. Data is shared only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: Financial data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals is shared with our authorised payment partners, including the operators of JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank integrations. These partners process data solely for the purpose of completing your requested transaction.
• KYC verification providers: Identity document data submitted during the KYC process is shared with licensed third-party identity verification services that process your documents under binding data processing agreements and are prohibited from using the data for any purpose other than verification.
• Regulatory and legal authorities: pkr598 may be required to disclose personal data to our licensing authority, financial intelligence units, law enforcement agencies, or courts where legally compelled to do so. pkr598 will, where permitted by law, notify you of such disclosures.
• Fraud prevention networks: In the event of suspected fraud, money laundering, or serious breach of Terms, pkr598 may share relevant account and transaction data with industry fraud prevention networks and gaming regulators to protect the integrity of the Platform and the interests of legitimate players.
• Service providers: Cloud hosting providers, analytics platforms, and customer support tooling providers may process limited personal data as part of delivering the technical infrastructure of the Platform. All such providers are engaged under data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the agreed service.

International Data Transfers

pkr598 operates under an international gaming licence and may store and process your personal data on servers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, pkr598 takes appropriate measures to ensure that your data receives a level of protection equivalent to that afforded within Pakistan, including:

• Engaging only service providers located in jurisdictions that maintain adequate data protection standards or that have committed to equivalent contractual protections.
• Incorporating standard contractual clauses or equivalent data transfer mechanisms into agreements with service providers who process data in jurisdictions without equivalent statutory protections.
• Maintaining full oversight of all international data flows and conducting periodic reviews of the adequacy of protections in place at destination jurisdictions.

If you would like further information about the specific international data transfers applicable to your Account, please contact our support team at [email protected].

Data Retention

pkr598 retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by our gaming licence, AML obligations, or other applicable legal requirements. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active Account and for a minimum of 5 years following Account closure, in accordance with gaming licence record-keeping requirements.
• Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required by anti-money-laundering regulations applicable under our international gaming licence.
• KYC documentation: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of verification or Account closure, whichever is later.
• Customer support records: Retained for 3 years from the date of the last support interaction, unless the matter relates to an ongoing dispute or legal proceedings, in which case records are retained until final resolution.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your marketing consent and for 2 years following withdrawal of consent, to evidence compliance with consent-based processing obligations.
• Technical and usage logs: Retained for 12 months on a rolling basis, after which they are anonymised or deleted.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be associated with any individual player.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law and our obligations under our gaming licence, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by pkr598:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data pkr598 holds about you. We will provide this in a structured, commonly used format within 30 days of a valid request.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. You can update basic contact and preference data directly within your Account settings; other corrections should be submitted via support.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where processing is unlawful. Please note that pkr598 may be unable to fully comply with erasure requests where retention is required by our gaming licence or AML obligations.
• Right to Restriction: You may request that pkr598 restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while the accuracy of data is being contested or a complaint is under investigation.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to marketing, pkr598 will cease marketing communications immediately.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact pkr598 at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". We will respond within 30 days and may request proof of identity before processing your request.

Children & Minors

pkr598 is strictly intended for persons aged 21 and above. pkr598 does not knowingly collect or process personal data of any person under the age of 21.

Age verification is a mandatory component of the pkr598 registration and KYC process. All players are required to confirm their date of birth at registration and to provide valid identity documentation confirming their age before their Account is fully activated or any withdrawal is processed.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered on pkr598 without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We take underage access extremely seriously and will act without delay.

Security Measures

pkr598 implements technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher. Sensitive data at rest, including financial records and identity documents, is encrypted using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within the pkr598 organisation is restricted to staff with a specific operational need. All internal access is subject to role-based permissions and audit logging.
• Password security: Player account passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes. pkr598 never stores passwords in plaintext and cannot retrieve your password — only reset it.
• Two-factor authentication: pkr598 supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts. We strongly recommend enabling 2FA in your Account settings.
• Penetration testing: pkr598 conducts periodic security assessments, including penetration testing by qualified third-party security professionals, to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Incident response: In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, pkr598 will notify affected players and, where required, the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframes required by our gaming licence and applicable law.

While pkr598 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and recommend that you also take steps to protect your own account, including using a strong unique password and enabling 2FA.

Third-Party Links

The pkr598 Platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services — for example, payment gateways such as JazzCash and EasyPaisa that open in separate windows or redirect flows during the deposit process. These third-party services have their own privacy policies and data practices, which are entirely outside pkr598's control.

pkr598 is not responsible for the privacy practices, security standards, or content of any third-party service. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with in connection with your pkr598 account, including the privacy notices of JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and any bank whose internet banking portal you use to initiate transfers to pkr598.

The presence of a reference to or integration with a third-party service on the pkr598 Platform does not constitute an endorsement of that service's privacy practices by pkr598.

Marketing Communications

pkr598 sends marketing communications — including promotional emails, SMS messages, and where applicable push notifications — only to players who have given explicit consent to receive such communications. Marketing content from pkr598 may include information about:

• New games, slots, and live dealer tables added to the Platform.
• Cricket and PSL betting promotions, including seasonal offers timed around major matches and tournaments.
• Deposit bonus offers, free spins, and Coins loyalty programme promotions.
• Golden Bank and other special feature promotions exclusive to pkr598.
• Platform updates, new payment method availability, and feature launches.

You can update your marketing communication preferences at any time through the notifications section of your Account settings. Alternatively, every marketing email sent by pkr598 contains a clearly labelled unsubscribe link. Opting out of marketing communications will not affect service emails related to your Account, such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, and mandatory policy update notices.

Changes to This Policy

pkr598 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made — for example, changes that affect how we use your data or that introduce new categories of data processing — pkr598 will take reasonable steps to notify you before the changes take effect. Notification may be provided by a notice displayed upon login, an email to your registered Account address, or a prominent announcement on the Platform.

The effective date at the top of this document will be updated to reflect the date on which the current version came into force. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how pkr598 manages your personal data. Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy.

If you do not agree to any updated version of this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the Platform and may close your Account by contacting our support team. Any personal data held at the time of Account closure will be retained only for the periods required by our legal and licensing obligations, as described in Section 10.
