Summary for Pakistani Players: pk989 collects your personal information only to operate your account, process your PKR transactions, verify your identity, and keep the platform safe and compliant. We do not sell your data to anyone. We use industry-standard security to protect everything you share with us. You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time by contacting our support team.

1. Who We Are

pk989 is an online betting and casino platform serving players in Pakistan, accessible at pk989.ws. References in this Privacy Policy to "pk989", "we", "us", or "our" refer to the operator of the pk989 platform. References to "you" or "your" refer to any person who registers for, logs in to, or otherwise uses the pk989 platform or any of its associated services.

This Privacy Policy governs all personal information collected through the pk989 website, mobile-optimised platform, and any communications you have with our support team. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which set out the broader rules governing your use of pk989.

If you have any questions about this policy, about how pk989 handles your personal data, or about exercising any of your rights as a data subject, you can contact us at any time at support@pk989.ws. Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

2. Personal Data We Collect

pk989 collects two broad categories of personal data: information you provide directly when registering and using the platform, and information collected automatically as you interact with the site.

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Registration data: Your name, mobile number, and email address (if provided) when you create a pk989 account.
  • Identity verification data: A copy of your CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) or other government-issued identity document if requested during account verification.
  • Payment information: Your Easypaisa or JazzCash mobile account number, NayaPay or SadaPay account details, IBFT bank account details, or Visa/Mastercard card details. Full card numbers are not stored by pk989 – payment processing is handled by certified payment processors.
  • Support communications: Any messages, emails, or chat transcripts you exchange with our support team.
  • Responsible gaming preferences: Deposit limits, cooling-off preferences, and self-exclusion requests you submit through your account settings.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • IP address and approximate location (city/region level) at the time of login.
  • Device type, operating system, and browser version.
  • Session duration, pages visited, and features used within pk989.
  • Betting and gaming activity including bet history, game session records, and transaction logs.

3. How We Collect Your Data

pk989 collects personal data through the following channels:

  • Directly from you: When you register for an account, complete a verification request, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact support, or update your account settings.
  • Automatically through your use of the platform: Our servers log standard technical information each time you access pk989, including the data listed in Section 2.2 above.
  • From payment processors: When you make a deposit or withdrawal, our payment partners share transaction confirmation data (reference numbers, amounts, timestamps) with pk989 to allow us to credit or debit your account correctly.
  • From identity verification services: If pk989 uses a third-party verification service to confirm your identity, we may receive a confirmation result and a record of the check. We do not receive raw copies of your documents from these services beyond what you upload directly.

pk989 does not purchase personal data from data brokers, social media platforms, or any other third-party data sources. Every piece of personal information we hold about you was collected through one of the channels described above.

4. Why We Use Your Personal Data

pk989 uses personal data only for legitimate operational purposes. The table below summarises the main purposes for which we process your data.

PurposeData Used
Creating and managing your pk989 accountName, mobile number, email
Processing PKR deposits and withdrawalsPayment account details, transaction records
Verifying your identity and age (18+)CNIC or other identity documents
Preventing fraud, money laundering, and account abuseIP address, device data, transaction patterns
Providing 24/7 customer supportAccount details, support communications
Operating responsible gaming toolsGaming history, deposit limits, exclusion requests
Sending account notifications and security alertsMobile number, email
Analysing platform performance and improving servicesAggregated, anonymised behavioural data
Complying with legal and regulatory obligationsIdentity, financial, and transaction records

pk989 does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

pk989 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide the services you have signed up for – account management, transaction processing, and customer support.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with anti-money laundering requirements, age verification obligations, and record-keeping requirements imposed by applicable law.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
  • Consent: For optional communications such as promotional SMS or email, where you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time.

6. Payment Data and PKR Transactions

Given that pk989 operates exclusively in Pakistani Rupees and uses local payment methods including Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT, and Visa/Mastercard, we give special attention to how payment data is handled.

pk989 does not store full card numbers, CVV codes, or complete mobile banking credentials on its own servers. These details are processed directly by our certified payment processing partners who maintain their own security standards appropriate for financial data handling. What pk989 retains is the minimum necessary to reconcile your account: transaction reference numbers, amounts, timestamps, and the last four digits or abbreviated account identifier of the payment method used.

All payment data is transmitted over encrypted connections. Your payment account details are linked to your pk989 account for the purpose of ensuring withdrawals are returned to the same method used for deposits – a security measure that protects you against unauthorised withdrawal attempts. This linkage does not involve sharing your payment details with any party other than the relevant payment processor.

PKR Payment Security: pk989 uses the same name-matching and account verification standards as Pakistani banks and mobile money operators. Your Easypaisa or JazzCash number must match the name on your pk989 account. This protects you from unauthorised use of your payment account by a third party.

7. Sharing Your Personal Data

pk989 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own commercial purposes. Full stop. We share your data only in the following specific and limited circumstances:

7.1 Payment Processors

To process your PKR deposits and withdrawals, pk989 must share the relevant payment details with your chosen payment provider (Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT provider, or card network). This sharing is limited to the minimum data required to complete the transaction.

7.2 Identity Verification Services

When verifying your age and identity, pk989 may use a third-party verification provider. We share only the documents or data necessary for verification and receive back only a confirmation result. We do not share your CNIC details with advertisers, marketing companies, or unrelated third parties.

7.3 Legal and Regulatory Requirements

pk989 will disclose your personal data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities where required to do so by applicable law, valid legal process, or in order to protect the safety of our users or the integrity of the platform. We will not disclose data beyond what is legally required in any such situation.

7.4 Service Providers

pk989 works with a small number of trusted service providers who assist with platform operations – for example, cloud hosting providers and customer support software vendors. These providers are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any purpose other than providing the specific service to pk989.

No advertising networks, data brokers, social media platforms, or marketing companies receive your personal data from pk989 under any circumstances.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

pk989 uses cookies and similar lightweight tracking technologies to make the platform work correctly and to improve your experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. pk989 uses the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without disrupting normal platform use.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings or your last visited section of the platform. These improve convenience but are not essential.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised information about how users navigate the platform – which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where users encounter errors. This data is aggregated and cannot be linked back to individual accounts. It helps pk989 identify and fix problems and improve the user experience.

pk989 does not use advertising or targeting cookies. We do not allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies on pk989. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core platform features.

9. How Long We Keep Your Data

pk989 does not retain your personal data for longer than necessary. Retention periods are set based on the purpose for which the data was collected and any applicable legal obligations.

Data TypeRetention PeriodReason
Account registration dataDuration of account + 5 years after closureLegal compliance and dispute resolution
Transaction records (deposits/withdrawals)7 years from transaction dateAnti-money laundering regulatory requirement

Technical logs (IP, device data)12 months rollingSecurity and fraud prevention
Marketing consent recordsUntil consent withdrawn + 1 yearProof of lawful marketing basis

When a retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. Anonymised, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes.

10. Your Rights Over Your Personal Data

As a pk989 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. You can exercise any of these rights by contacting our support team at support@pk989.ws. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

Right of Access
You can request a copy of all personal data pk989 holds about you, including your account information, transaction history, and any identity verification records.
Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. You can update basic account details yourself through your account settings or contact support for more complex corrections.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data. Note that we are required by law to retain certain records (particularly financial transaction records) for defined periods, so complete erasure may not always be possible immediately. We will delete everything we are legally permitted to delete and explain clearly what we must retain and why.
Right to Restriction
You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances – for example, while you contest the accuracy of information we hold, or while a deletion request is being processed.
Right to Portability
You can request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service. This applies to data you provided directly and which is processed on the basis of consent or contract.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g. marketing communications), you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.
Right to Object
You can object to processing carried out on the basis of pk989's legitimate interests. We will consider your objection and cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

11. How We Protect Your Data

pk989 implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the nature of the personal data we process. These include:

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) encryption for all data transmitted between your device and pk989's servers.
  • Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and payment reference information.
  • Access controls that limit which pk989 staff members can view personal account data, based on the principle of least privilege.
  • Regular security assessments of our platform and infrastructure.
  • Staff training on data protection obligations and secure data handling practices.
  • Incident response procedures that would enable us to detect, contain, and notify affected users of any data breach in a timely manner.

No data transmission over the internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. However, pk989 takes its security obligations seriously and continuously monitors and updates its security practices to address emerging threats.

If You Suspect a Security Issue: If you believe your pk989 account has been accessed without your authorisation, or if you notice any suspicious activity in your account, contact support immediately. Do not share your account credentials with anyone, including people claiming to be pk989 staff.

12. Children's Privacy

pk989 is strictly for adults aged 18 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If we become aware that an account has been created by or on behalf of a person under 18, we will immediately close that account and delete the associated personal data, except where retention is required for legal compliance purposes related to the closure.

If you have reason to believe that a minor has registered for pk989 using false age information, please notify us immediately at support@pk989.ws. We take underage access to gambling platforms extremely seriously and will act on all credible reports without delay.

13. Marketing Communications

pk989 may send you promotional communications about new features, bonuses, and platform updates. We will only send marketing communications where you have opted in to receive them at registration or subsequently through your account settings. Marketing communications from pk989 are sent via SMS to your registered mobile number and/or to your registered email address.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by:

  • Updating your communication preferences in your pk989 account settings.
  • Replying STOP to any marketing SMS from pk989.
  • Contacting support at support@pk989.ws and requesting removal from our marketing list.

Opting out of marketing communications will not affect transactional messages such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, security alerts, or account verification requests. These messages are essential to the operation of your account and will continue regardless of your marketing preferences.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

pk989 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or platform features. The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date at the top. For material changes – those that significantly affect how we collect or use your personal data – we will notify you via your registered mobile number or email address at least 7 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of pk989 after the effective date of any Privacy Policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you may close your account as described in our Terms and Conditions and request deletion of your data as described in Section 10 of this policy.
