5. Sharing Your Personal Data

pk177 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment Processors: Transaction data is shared with JazzCash, Easypaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, and cryptocurrency settlement providers solely to the extent necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.

6. Pakistani Payment Data Handling

pk177 recognises that Pakistani users' payment data — including JazzCash mobile wallet numbers and Easypaisa account details — is particularly sensitive given its direct link to financial accounts widely used for everyday transactions in Pakistan.

pk177 applies the following specific protections to Pakistani payment data:

• Full mobile wallet numbers are never stored in plain text and are masked in account interfaces after initial verification.
• Payment data is transmitted to JazzCash and Easypaisa over encrypted channels only.
• pk177 does not retain full transaction authentication tokens or mobile banking PINs at any point.
• Bank account details (HBL, UBL, Meezan, Bank Alfalah) used for withdrawals are verified for ownership and stored only in tokenised or masked form after verification.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

pk177 uses the following types of cookies and similar technologies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for login session management, security token validation, and basic platform functionality. These cannot be disabled without breaking core pk177 features.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the pk177 platform, which pages are visited most frequently, and how long sessions last. This data is used to improve the platform and is not linked to individual identities.
• Preference Cookies: Store your platform preferences such as language and display settings across sessions.

pk177 does not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You may control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling essential cookies will impair your ability to use pk177.

8. Data Security

pk177 implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the nature of the data we process. These include:

• TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the pk177 platform.
• Encryption at rest for sensitive personal and financial data stored in pk177 systems.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all pk177 users for account login protection.
• Regular security assessments and monitoring of the pk177 platform infrastructure.
• Access controls ensuring that only authorised pk177 personnel can access personal data, on a need-to-know basis.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you believe your pk177 account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

11. Children & Minors

pk177 is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on pk177, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

12. International Data Transfers

As an international online platform serving Pakistani users, pk177 may process or store certain data on servers located outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, pk177 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — such as contractual data protection clauses — to maintain a level of protection for your data equivalent to the standards described in this Policy.

Payment data transmitted to JazzCash and Easypaisa is processed within the Pakistani financial system under the oversight of applicable Pakistani financial regulators.
