5 Legal Basis for Processing

pk234 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity in question:

• Contractual necessity — processing is required to perform the contract between you and pk234 (i.e., to operate your account and provide the services described in the Terms & Conditions). This covers account registration, transaction processing, and support services.
• Legal obligation — processing is required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money-laundering laws, age verification requirements, and regulatory reporting duties.
• Legitimate interests — processing is necessary for pk234's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming enforcement, and internal analytics, provided those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
• Consent — where pk234 processes your data for optional purposes such as marketing communications or optional analytics features, we will obtain your separate, explicit consent before doing so. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting our support team.

6 Data Sharing & Disclosure

pk234 does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers

pk234 works with carefully selected third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf for specific operational purposes, including KYC verification providers, payment processors (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank), live chat infrastructure providers, and cloud hosting services. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict them from using your data for any purpose beyond the specific service they provide to pk234.

6.2 Regulatory & Legal Disclosures

pk234 may disclose personal data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or courts where we are legally obligated to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to prevent, detect, or investigate fraud, money laundering, or other criminal activity.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a material part of pk234's business assets, player personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Players would be notified of any such transfer and of any material change in data processing practices that results from it.

7 Data Retention

pk234 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by applicable law or regulation. The following general retention principles apply:

• Active accounts — personal data is retained for the full duration of your account's active status on the pk234 platform.
• Closed accounts — following account closure, pk234 retains identity data, KYC documents, and transaction records for a minimum of five (5) years in compliance with anti-money-laundering regulations and gaming licence obligations.
• Support communications — live chat logs and email correspondence are retained for a minimum of two (2) years from the date of the interaction.
• Technical and usage data — server logs and session data are retained for up to twelve (12) months, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymised.

When personal data is no longer required and no legal retention obligation applies, pk234 will securely delete or anonymise that data in accordance with our data lifecycle management procedures.

8 Security Measures

pk234 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the pk234 platform
• Encrypted storage of sensitive data fields, including identification numbers and KYC document files
• Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel with a specific operational need may access player personal data
• Multi-factor authentication requirements for internal pk234 systems that process player data
• Regular penetration testing and security audits conducted by independent security specialists
• Automated intrusion detection and anomaly monitoring systems operating continuously
• Formal data breach response procedures, including player notification protocols where required

Whilst pk234 takes all reasonable precautions to protect your data, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. You also play an important role in protecting your account — please ensure your pk234 login credentials are kept confidential and that you use a strong, unique password for your account.

11 Children's Privacy

The pk234 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and older. pk234 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Our registration process includes mandatory age declaration and is supported by KYC document verification to enforce this requirement.

If pk234 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, that account will be immediately suspended, the data will be deleted as soon as practically possible, and any funds held in the account will be returned to the depositing payment method following investigation in accordance with our minor protection procedures.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have registered on pk234, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or the email address in the footer of this page so we can investigate and take the appropriate action without delay.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit before providing them with any personal information.
