pk87 collects only the data necessary to operate this informational website — primarily standard analytics and technical data. We do not collect payment information or run player accounts of any kind.
No Data Selling
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers. Any data shared with service providers is governed by strict processing agreements and used solely to operate the Site.
Cookie Transparency
We use cookies primarily for analytics and site functionality. This policy explains what cookies are set, why they are used, and how you can manage or disable them through your browser settings.
Your Rights Are Clear
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. We outline these rights in plain English so you know exactly how to exercise them.
Secure Data Handling
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect any data we process against unauthorised access, accidental loss, or disclosure. Data security is a baseline standard, not an afterthought.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
1 Introduction
Welcome to pk87 (accessible at https://pk87.cam). This Privacy Policy explains how pk87 collects, processes, stores, and protects information about individuals who access or use our website ("Site"). It also explains the rights that you have in relation to any personal data we hold about you and how you can exercise those rights.
pk87 operates as an independent informational and educational guide for online sports betting and casino gaming, created specifically for users in Pakistan. We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept wagers, process deposits, or manage player accounts. Our data practices are therefore considerably narrower in scope than those of an online gambling operator.
By accessing and using the pk87 website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Site.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall use of the Site. Where this Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions conflict on a matter of data privacy, this Privacy Policy shall take precedence.

3 Data We Collect
pk87 collects a limited set of data categories in the course of operating this informational website. The categories we may collect are set out in the table below:
| Data Category | Examples | Collected Automatically? |
|---|---|---|
| Technical / Device Data | IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution | Yes — via analytics tools and server logs |

4 How We Collect Data
Data is collected through the following means:
- Automatic collection via server logs: When you visit the Site, our web server automatically records technical data including your IP address, the pages you request, and the time of your visit. This is standard practice for any web server and is necessary to deliver pages to your browser.
- Analytics tools: We may use third-party analytics services to collect aggregated usage data about how visitors interact with the Site. These tools use cookies to track session behaviour and generate statistical reports. Individual users are not personally identified in these reports.
- Cookies set by the Site: The Site may set first-party and third-party cookies on your device when you visit. Full details of the cookies used are provided in Section 7 of this Policy.
- Direct communication: If you email us at [email protected], we will collect the information you include in your message — typically your name, email address, and the content of your query — in order to respond to you.
We do not purchase data from third-party data brokers, and we do not acquire Personal Data about you from social media platforms or other external sources beyond what you voluntarily provide.
5 Data Processing & Use
We use the data we collect for the following specific purposes:
- Delivering and maintaining the Site: Technical and usage data is necessary to serve web pages correctly and to diagnose and resolve technical issues that may affect the Site's performance or availability.
- Analytics and Site improvement: Aggregated usage data helps us understand which content is most useful to our Pakistani audience — for example, whether guides on cricket betting markets, PSL/T20 season content, or casino game breakdowns are being read — so we can improve the quality and relevance of our editorial output.
- Responding to enquiries: When you contact us via email, we use your contact information solely to respond to your query and, where appropriate, to follow up on the matter you raised. We do not use support contact data for marketing purposes.
- Security and fraud prevention: Technical data including IP addresses may be used to detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, unauthorised access, or malicious activity directed at the Site.
- Legal compliance: We may process data where we are required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory instruction.
We do not use your data to build individual user profiles, to serve targeted advertising on the Site, or to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.
6 Legal Basis for Processing
Where data protection law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing Personal Data, we rely on the following bases depending on the activity:
- Legitimate interests: Processing of technical and usage data for the purposes of operating the Site, diagnosing technical issues, and improving content quality. We have assessed that our legitimate interests in running a functional, high-quality informational website are not overridden by your data protection rights in these contexts.
- Consent: Where analytics cookies or non-essential cookies are placed on your device, we rely on your consent, which you may grant or withdraw at any time via your browser settings.
- Contractual necessity / pre-contractual steps: Where you contact us and we need to process your information to respond to your enquiry.
- Legal obligation: Where we are required by law to retain or disclose data to competent authorities.
Users in Pakistan should note that data protection law is an evolving area in Pakistan. The Personal Data Protection Bill has been under legislative development. pk87 applies internationally recognised data protection principles regardless of the current statutory position in Pakistan.
7 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They serve a range of functions from keeping a site functional to collecting analytics data. The pk87 Site may use the following categories of cookies:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Essential? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core site functionality such as navigation, page loading, and security. The site cannot function properly without these. | Yes |
| Analytics / Performance | Collect anonymised data on how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time on page, referral source) to help us improve content quality and structure. | No — consent required |
| Functional / Preference | Remember user preferences such as language or display settings to improve the browsing experience on return visits. | No — consent required |
Managing cookies: You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. The following browser links provide guidance on managing cookies:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

pk87 does not use cookies to track your activity across other websites, serve you personalised advertisements, or build marketing profiles based on your browsing behaviour.
8 Data Sharing
pk87 does not sell, rent, or trade Personal Data to third parties. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:
- Analytics service providers: Aggregated and pseudonymised usage data may be processed by third-party analytics tools operating under data processing agreements. These providers act as processors on our behalf and are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Our web hosting provider necessarily processes technical data (including IP addresses and server logs) as part of hosting the Site. This provider operates under appropriate data processing terms.
- Legal and regulatory obligations: We may disclose data to law enforcement authorities, courts, or regulatory bodies where we are legally compelled to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of pk87 or others.
- Business transitions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving pk87, Personal Data held by the Site may be transferred as part of that transaction. Users would be notified of any such change that materially affects how their data is used.
We do not share your data with online gambling operators, payment providers such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, or Bank Alfalah, or any third party for direct marketing purposes. References to these payment providers on our Site are contextual only.
9 Data Retention
We retain Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The general retention periods we apply are as follows:
- Server log data (including IP addresses): Retained for a limited period, typically up to 90 days, for security and diagnostic purposes, after which logs are automatically purged or anonymised.
- Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer periods for trend analysis and content planning purposes, but this data does not identify individual users.
- Email correspondence: If you contact us via email, correspondence is retained for a reasonable period to facilitate follow-up and to maintain a record of the matter raised. We do not retain support emails indefinitely; they are reviewed and deleted once the matter is resolved and no ongoing need exists.
- Cookie data: Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire according to the timeframe set for each cookie, which is typically between 30 days and 12 months.
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to an individual.
10 Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable data protection law, you may have the following rights in relation to Personal Data we hold about you. We are committed to honouring these rights in good faith even where the specific statutory framework in your jurisdiction may differ:

Request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and information about how it is used.
Right to Rectification
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of your request. We will aim to respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
If you are unsatisfied with how we handle your request, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
11 Children's Privacy
The pk87 website is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 or over — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable online gambling operator or license jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a person under the age of 18 has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Upon verification, we will take prompt steps to delete that information from our records.
Underage access is strictly prohibited. This Site discusses gambling-related topics for educational purposes. If you are under 18 — or under the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or license jurisdiction — you must leave this Site immediately.
12 Data Security
pk87 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the data we process against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Encrypted data transmission using HTTPS/TLS on all pages of the Site.
- Access controls limiting who within the pk87 editorial team can access server logs or support correspondence.
- Regular review of data handling practices and third-party processor agreements.
- Prompt response protocols in the event of a suspected data security incident.
While we take data security seriously, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and users should exercise appropriate caution when sharing information online. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
13 International Data Transfers
pk87 is an online platform and may use third-party service providers — including analytics and hosting providers — that are located outside Pakistan. As a result, data collected through the Site may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Pakistan.
Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
- Using service providers who operate under internationally recognised data protection frameworks.
- Entering into data processing agreements with third-party processors that incorporate appropriate data transfer clauses.
- Selecting service providers operating in jurisdictions that offer an adequate level of data protection relative to the nature of the data transferred.
By using the Site, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred and processed outside Pakistan as described above.
14 Policy Amendments
pk87 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes may be made to reflect updates to our data practices, changes in applicable law, or operational developments affecting the Site.
When this Privacy Policy is updated, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised to reflect the date of the most recent change. Where amendments are material — meaning they significantly affect how we process your data or the rights available to you — we will make reasonable efforts to draw attention to those changes on the Site.
Your continued use of the Site following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised terms. If you do not agree with a revised Privacy Policy, you should discontinue use of the Site.
