This Privacy Policy explains how pk18 collects, processes, stores and protects your personal data when you use our platform. We are committed to handling your information with care, transparency and respect.
pk18 ("we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") operates the website accessible at pk18.cam. pk18 is an English-language online gaming information and entertainment platform designed for Pakistani users. We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all individuals who interact with our Platform.
This Privacy Policy sets out in detail how pk18 collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data obtained through the operation of pk18.cam. It also explains the rights available to you with respect to your personal data and how you can exercise those rights.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gambling Policy, all of which collectively govern your use of the pk18 Platform.
pk18 does not operate a direct gambling service. Where references are made to operators, those are third-party licensed entities. Each operator maintains its own separate privacy policy, which applies independently to any data you provide directly to them.
The following terms carry the meanings set out below throughout this Privacy Policy:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| "Personal Data" | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, email address, IP address, device identifiers and usage data. |

| "Data Controller" | pk18, the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through pk18.cam. |
| "Data Processor" | A third party that processes personal data on behalf of pk18, in accordance with written instructions and under appropriate data protection agreements. |
| "Cookies" | Small text files placed on your device by a website to store browsing preferences, session data and analytics information. |
| "User" / "You" | Any natural person who accesses, browses or registers on the pk18 Platform. |
| "Platform" | The pk18 website accessible at pk18.cam, including all pages, subpages, features and tools. |
pk18 collects only the personal data that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. The categories of personal data we may collect are set out below:
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Name, username, date of birth (where provided for age verification) | Account management, age verification |
| Contact Data | Email address | Account communications, support responses |

pk18 processes personal data for the following specific and legitimate purposes. We do not process personal data in any manner incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected.
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, pk18 relies on the following grounds:
pk18 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own commercial or marketing purposes. We treat your data with the confidentiality it deserves.
We may share personal data in the following limited circumstances only:
pk18 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on the Platform, remember your preferences and gather anonymised analytics data. The types of cookies we use are as follows:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for basic Platform functionality, session management and security. Cannot be disabled without breaking core features. | Session / Short-term |
| Functional | Remember user preferences such as language settings, display options and consent choices. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Collect anonymised usage data to understand Platform performance and user behaviour. No personally identifiable information is transmitted. | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing / Tracking | Used only where you have provided explicit consent. May track browsing across sessions for interest-based content purposes. | As per consent duration |
You may manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a notification before a cookie is set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.
pk18 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
Upon expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any identifiable individual.
pk18 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. These measures include but are not limited to:
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by pk18. We will respond to valid requests without undue delay and in any event within the timeframe required by applicable law.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. There is generally no fee for exercising your rights, though we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
The pk18 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction. pk18 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
Users who register on the Platform confirm by doing so that they meet the minimum age requirement. pk18 may implement age verification procedures at its discretion and may request supporting documentation where reasonable grounds exist to doubt a user's age.
As an internationally accessible platform, pk18 may transfer personal data to, and process it in, countries outside of Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, we take appropriate steps to ensure that personal data receives a level of protection consistent with the standards described in this Policy.
Appropriate safeguards for international transfers may include contractual protections with data processors, ensuring that receiving parties maintain equivalent data security standards and limiting the data transferred to what is strictly necessary for the stated purpose.
Pakistan does not currently have a comprehensive data protection statute of the same character as European data protection law. Users are advised to review this Policy carefully and contact us with any concerns about how their data is handled across jurisdictions.
pk18 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements or Platform features. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.
Where material changes are made — particularly those affecting your rights or the manner in which we use your personal data — we will endeavour to provide advance notice through the Platform or via email to registered users. Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the processing of your personal data by pk18, please contact us using the details below. We take all privacy enquiries seriously and will respond as promptly as possible.
These commitments are not aspirational statements — they reflect how we actually operate the pk18 Platform every single day.
We handle your personal data with the care it deserves. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise your data rights, our support team is here to help. You can also learn more about responsible gambling or visit our FAQ for quick answers.
