None of these providers endorse, affiliate with or support gambling on this platform. Data shared with payment processors is limited strictly to what is necessary for transaction completion.
9. Data Retention
pkraah retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory or contractual obligations.
General retention guidelines applied by pkraah:
- Account data: Retained for the duration of your active account relationship plus a defined period following account closure, as required by applicable AML and record-keeping obligations.
- KYC and identity documents: Retained for the period required by the operator's applicable regulatory obligations, typically five years from account closure or the date of the last transaction, whichever is later.
- Transaction records: Retained in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements under applicable law, typically a minimum of five years.
- Support communications: Retained for a period sufficient to resolve ongoing disputes and for quality assurance purposes, typically up to two years after case closure.
- Marketing consent records: Retained until consent is withdrawn and for a reasonable period thereafter as evidence of the consent history.
- Technical and log data: Retained for a rolling period of up to twelve months for security and platform optimisation purposes.
When data is no longer required and the retention period has elapsed, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with data minimisation principles.
10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
pkraah uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, to maintain your session state and to understand how users interact with the platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you access the site.

- Essential cookies: Strictly necessary for the platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your settings during a session and ensure secure navigation. These cannot be disabled without disrupting platform functionality.

11. Data Security Measures
pkraah implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.
Security measures in place include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the pkraah platform, including login sessions, KYC document uploads and payment transactions
- Encrypted data storage for sensitive personal data fields including identity document information and financial data
- Access controls ensuring that internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis with role-based permissions
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for user accounts as an additional layer of protection
- Regular security assessments and monitoring of the platform infrastructure for vulnerabilities and suspicious activity
- Incident response procedures for detecting, reporting and managing personal data breaches, including notification to affected users where required
While pkraah takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.
12. Your Data Rights
As a user of the pkraah platform, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team using the details in Section 17. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days.
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is used and where it comes from.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. Some fields can be updated directly through your account settings.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent. Note that deletion may not be possible where we are required to retain data by law (e.g., AML record-keeping obligations).
Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a rectification request is being resolved or where you contest the lawfulness of processing.
Right to Data Portability
Where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contract, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications or non-essential cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time via your account settings or by contacting support. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. We will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
13. Minors & Age Policy
The pkraah platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator licence jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
Age verification is a mandatory step in our KYC process. If we discover or reasonably suspect that a registered account belongs to an individual under the minimum age requirement, the account will be immediately suspended, all data will be reviewed, and any balances or winnings will be voided and returned where applicable.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools and internet filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling-related content. If you believe a minor has registered on pkraah, contact our support team immediately with relevant details.
Pakistan Note: Being 18 years of age does not, by itself, make participation in online gambling lawful under Pakistani law, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Users are responsible for understanding applicable law in their jurisdiction. This is not legal advice.
14. Third-Party Links & Services
The pkraah platform may contain references to third-party services, payment providers or sports organisations for contextual and informational purposes. These references do not constitute endorsement, partnership or affiliation.
pkraah is not responsible for the privacy practices, data handling or content of any third-party services or websites. If you access third-party services through or in connection with the pkraah platform, we strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of those services independently before providing any personal data.
Payment method references on this platform — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — are included as familiar Pakistani payment context only. These providers operate under their own terms of service and privacy policies. pkraah does not control how these providers handle data shared with them during transaction processing.
15. International Data Transfers
pkraah may process or store personal data on servers or through service providers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that it receives an equivalent level of protection to that afforded within the platform's operating jurisdiction.
Appropriate safeguards for international data transfers may include contractual data processing agreements with service providers, ensuring that only the minimum necessary data is transferred and that recipients are subject to equivalent confidentiality and security obligations.
By using the pkraah platform, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred, stored and processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are conducted responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection principles.
16. Policy Amendments
pkraah reserves the right to update, modify or replace any part of this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law or platform functionality. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision.
Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how your personal data is used or your rights in relation to it — we will notify you through one or more of the following channels: a prominent notice on the platform homepage, an in-platform notification or a communication to your registered email address.
Your continued use of the pkraah platform following notification of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you must discontinue use of the platform and may contact us to exercise your data rights as described in Section 12.
