This Privacy Policy explains what personal information pak8 collects when you use the platform, how it is stored and used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have over your own data. We have written it to be plain and straightforward — not full of dense legal paragraphs that most people skip.
This Privacy Policy applies to all registered and unregistered users of pak8.pro. By using the pak8 platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy. If you have any questions, the contact details are at the bottom of this page.
pak8 takes the privacy of its players seriously. When you create an account, deposit funds, place bets or browse the platform, you share information with us. This policy explains exactly what that information is, why we need it, how we protect it and the choices you have over how it is used.
pak8 acts as the data controller for information collected through pak8.pro. This means we are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is used. In cases where we work with third-party payment providers, identity verification services or analytics tools, those parties have their own data handling obligations under their respective agreements with pak8.
This policy covers the pak8 website at pak8.pro and any associated mobile-accessible version of the platform. It does not cover any third-party websites that may be linked to from pak8 — though under our policy, such external links are not present on the platform.
Core commitment: pak8 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes. This is a firm policy and not something that will change without explicit advance notice to all registered players.
The information pak8 collects falls into three broad categories: information you provide directly, information collected automatically when you use the platform, and information collected from third parties for verification purposes.
Information you provide:
Information collected automatically:
pak8 collects only the information that is genuinely necessary to operate the platform, verify identity, process payments and comply with anti-money laundering obligations. We do not collect data speculatively.
The data pak8 collects is used for the following purposes. Each purpose is tied to a specific operational or legal requirement — not to general data accumulation.
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Name, email, mobile, date of birth | Contract performance |
| Age and identity verification | CNIC, name, date of birth | Legal obligation |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Payment method, transaction data | Contract performance |
| Anti-money laundering checks | Identity documents, transaction history | Legal obligation |
| Fraud detection and prevention | IP address, device data, betting patterns | Legitimate interest |
| Customer support | Account data, communication history | Contract performance |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Session data, feature usage (anonymised) | Legitimate interest |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Deposit, session and betting history | Legitimate interest / legal obligation |
| Platform communications (transactional) | Email address, mobile number | Contract performance |
| Marketing communications | Email address (opt-in only) | Consent |
Marketing communications from pak8 — including bonus offers, promotional updates and platform news — are sent only to players who have opted in to receive them. You can withdraw this consent at any time from your account settings or by contacting pak8 support.
Payment processing on pak8 is handled through PCI DSS-compliant third-party providers. This means that full card numbers, JazzCash credentials and Easypaisa account details are not stored on pak8 servers at any point during or after a transaction. pak8 receives a transaction reference and a confirmation of success or failure — the sensitive payment data stays with the payment provider.
pak8 retains the following payment-related information for account management and anti-money laundering purposes:
pak8 will never ask for your full payment credentials via email, chat or phone. Any communication requesting this information is fraudulent and should be reported to pak8 support immediately.
Anti-money laundering regulations require pak8 to verify the source of funds for withdrawals above certain thresholds. In these cases, additional documentation may be requested. This is a legal obligation, not a discretionary policy.
pak8 does not sell or share your personal data for third-party marketing purposes. Period. However, some data is shared with specific categories of third party in order to operate the platform legally and effectively.
Payment providers — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and other supported payment platforms receive the minimum data necessary to process your transaction (typically name and transaction amount). Their handling of this data is governed by their own privacy policies and PCI DSS obligations.
Identity verification services — Where pak8 uses a third-party verification service to validate identity documents, the relevant document data is shared with that service for the duration of the verification process.
Fraud prevention and security services — Device data, IP addresses and transaction patterns may be shared with fraud detection services to protect the platform and its players from fraudulent activity.
Analytics providers — Aggregated, anonymised usage data may be shared with analytics tools to help pak8 understand how the platform is used. This data does not identify individual players.
Legal and regulatory requirements — pak8 will disclose personal data to relevant authorities where required by applicable law, court order or where there is reasonable suspicion of serious criminal activity including fraud or money laundering.
All third-party service providers used by pak8 are bound by contractual data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific purpose for which it was shared.
pak8 uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work correctly and to understand how players use it. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit pak8.pro. It does not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device.
The categories of cookies used on pak8 are:
You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect your ability to log in and use the platform normally. For specific cookie management options, check your browser's privacy or settings section.
pak8 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to meet legal, audit and dispute resolution obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
Where data is no longer required for any legitimate purpose, pak8 will securely delete or anonymise it. Anonymised data that cannot be used to identify an individual may be retained indefinitely for aggregate statistical purposes.
pak8 applies industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. The key security measures in place include:
No system is completely immune to security breaches. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to player rights, pak8 will notify affected players as quickly as practicable and take all reasonable steps to contain and remediate the breach.
Players can strengthen their own account security by using a unique, strong password, enabling two-factor authentication from account settings, and never sharing login credentials with another person.
As a pak8 player, you have a number of rights over your personal data. These rights can be exercised by contacting pak8 support. pak8 will respond to valid requests within 30 days.
Exercising your right to erasure may require account closure, as certain data — particularly identity and transaction records — must be retained to meet anti-money laundering obligations. pak8 will explain this clearly if it applies to your request.
pak8 is strictly an adult platform for players aged 18 and above. pak8 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Age verification is performed during account registration and may be supplemented by additional document checks at any point.
If a pak8 account is found to belong to a person under 18, that account will be closed immediately, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the incident will be treated as a serious violation of the platform's Terms and Conditions. Any data collected from a minor as part of an unauthorised account will be deleted as quickly as practicable, consistent with legal obligations.
Parents and guardians who believe a minor has created a pak8 account should contact pak8 support immediately. Such reports are treated as priority cases.
pak8 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the platform evolves, as legal requirements change, or as new data processing activities are introduced. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.
Where changes are material — for example, a new category of data being collected or a change in how existing data is used — pak8 will notify registered players by email or via an in-platform notification before the changes take effect. Minor or administrative updates will be published on this page without individual notification.
Continued use of pak8 after an updated Privacy Policy has been published constitutes acknowledgement of the updated version. If you do not accept the changes, you should stop using the platform and close your account.
For any questions about this Privacy Policy, to exercise your data rights, or to report a suspected privacy breach, please contact pak8 support through the FAQ page or via the support email address listed in the footer of this page.
When submitting a data rights request, please include your registered email address and a clear description of your request. pak8 may ask for additional verification to confirm your identity before processing the request — this is to protect your data from being accessed by someone else claiming to be you.
pak8 aims to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days of receipt. For complex requests, the response period may be extended, and you will be notified of the extension within the initial 30-day period.
Six core privacy commitments that shape how pak8 handles player data every day.
pak8 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing. This is a firm policy with no exceptions, regardless of what other platforms in the industry do.
Full payment credentials — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, card details — are processed by PCI DSS-compliant providers and never stored on pak8 servers.
All data travelling between your device and pak8 is encrypted using SSL/TLS. Sensitive account and identity data is also encrypted at rest on pak8 infrastructure.
pak8 sends marketing communications — bonus offers, promotions, platform news — only to players who have explicitly opted in. You can withdraw consent at any time from account settings.
Access, correct, restrict, delete or port your data — all six data rights are exercisable by contacting pak8 support. Requests are handled within 30 days.
pak8 retains data for specific, defined periods tied to legal requirements — not indefinitely. When the retention period ends and there is no legal obligation to keep data, it is securely deleted.
Understanding how your data is handled is part of choosing a platform you can trust. pak8 has built its privacy practices around the same principle that drives everything else on the platform: Pakistani players deserve straightforward, honest treatment — not policies designed to obscure what is happening with their information.
If you have read this policy and are comfortable with how pak8 operates, creating a free account takes under two minutes. All PKR payment methods are available from day one — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer and cards all supported.
