Data Protection Document

97pak Privacy Policy —
How We Protect Your Data

Last Updated: 1 January 2026 Applies to: 97pak.net Language: English Current Version

At 97pak, we treat your personal data with the same seriousness as we treat your money — it belongs to you, it is your business, and it is our responsibility to protect it. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect from Pakistani players, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you hold over it. We have written this document in plain English so that every player in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan can understand exactly what 97pak does with their information.

Our Privacy Commitments

Six Ways 97pak Keeps Your Data Safe

Before getting into the legal detail, here are the six core data protection commitments that every 97pak player can count on.

🔒
Encrypted at Every Stage

All data transmitted between your device and 97pak's servers is protected by TLS/SSL encryption. Account data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest. Your CNIC information and financial data receive the highest level of protection in our infrastructure.

🚫
We Never Sell Your Data

97pak does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third-party advertising network, data broker, or unaffiliated company — ever. Your data is used exclusively to operate and improve the 97pak platform and to meet our regulatory obligations.

🎯
Minimum Necessary Data Only

97pak only collects the personal information that is genuinely necessary to provide our services, verify your identity, process transactions, and comply with our licensing requirements. We do not collect data for the sake of it or build profiles beyond what our operations require.

✅
You Control Your Data

97pak players have the right to access their personal data, request corrections, request deletion (subject to legal retention requirements), and withdraw marketing consent at any time. These requests are actioned by our support team within 30 days of receipt.

🛡
CNIC Data Protected by Design

Your CNIC details — Pakistan's most sensitive personal identifier — are stored using enhanced encryption and access-controlled systems. Only authorised KYC verification personnel can access CNIC data, and access is logged and audited on an ongoing basis.

📋
Full Transparency, Always

This Privacy Policy is available in full on the 97pak website at all times. We notify players of material changes before they take effect. You are never subject to data practices that were not disclosed at the time your data was collected.

How Your Data Moves

The Life Cycle of Your Data at 97pak

Every piece of data 97pak holds on you follows a defined lifecycle — from collection through active use to secure deletion. Here is how that process works in practice for Pakistani players.

1
Collection

You provide data when you register, deposit, or contact support. We also collect technical data automatically when you access the platform — such as your device type and session duration.

2
Verification

Identity data (CNIC) is used to verify your age and identity before your first withdrawal. This process is one-time and your CNIC image is stored in our secure KYC vault.

3
Active Use

Transaction data, gaming history, and communication records are used to operate your account, process withdrawals, investigate disputes, and provide customer support.

4
Regulatory Retention

After account closure, certain data must be retained for defined periods under our licensing obligations — typically five years for financial transaction records.

5
Secure Deletion

Once the legally required retention period has expired, 97pak permanently deletes your personal data from all active systems and backup archives using secure deletion protocols.

6
Ongoing Audit

97pak conducts periodic internal data audits to ensure data minimisation, accuracy, and appropriate access controls are maintained across all systems that process player data.

97pak processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:

  • Account creation and management: To create, maintain, and administer your 97pak player account throughout your relationship with us.
  • Identity and age verification: To confirm that you are a real person, that you are 21 years of age or older, and that your account details match your verified identity. This is a mandatory requirement under our operating licence.

  • Consent: Processing based on your explicit, freely given consent — specifically for marketing communications. Consent is obtained at registration and can be withdrawn at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.
5

Data Sharing & Third Parties

97pak does not sell your personal data to any third party. 97pak does share data with third parties in the following specific, controlled circumstances:

5.1 Payment Processors

Transaction data is shared with JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and other payment processors to the extent necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These processors act as independent data controllers for their own payment processing activities.

5.2 Identity Verification Partners

Where 97pak uses third-party KYC verification services, your CNIC data and supporting verification documents may be shared with those verified partners solely for the purpose of identity confirmation. All such partners are contractually bound to handle your data with appropriate security measures.

5.3 Game Providers

Third-party game providers (live casino operators, slot software providers, sportsbook data providers) may receive your player session data — including stake amounts and game outcomes — to the extent necessary to deliver game content and calculate payouts. Game providers do not receive your CNIC, financial account, or contact details.

5.4 Regulatory Authorities

97pak is obligated to disclose account and transaction data to its licensing authority and to relevant law enforcement agencies where legally required to do so. 97pak will not notify you of such disclosures where doing so would compromise an investigation.

97pak will never share your personal data with data brokers, advertising networks, social media platforms, or any commercial third party for marketing, profiling, or monetisation purposes.

6

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

97pak uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. The following categories of cookies are in use:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly — including session authentication, security tokens, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Platform.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your Platform preferences, such as your preferred language setting, display options, and game lobby filters.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the Platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical errors occur. This data is used exclusively to improve Platform performance.
  • Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, bot access, and brute-force login attempts.

97pak does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels from social media platforms. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings; however, disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the Platform.

7

Data Security Measures

97pak implements a layered security architecture to protect player data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. Key measures include:

  • TLS/SSL encryption on all data transmitted between your device and 97pak's servers.
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest, including CNIC records, KYC documents, and financial transaction data.
  • Bcrypt password hashing — your password is never stored in readable form.
  • Multi-factor authentication for 97pak staff accessing player data systems.
  • Role-based access controls ensuring that staff can only access the data required for their specific job function.
  • Intrusion detection and prevention systems monitoring for anomalous access patterns in real time.
  • Regular third-party security audits and penetration testing of the 97pak Platform infrastructure.

In the event of a data security incident that is reasonably likely to affect your rights or interests, 97pak will notify you via your registered mobile number as soon as reasonably practicable after the incident is identified and assessed.

No internet-based system can guarantee 100% security. While 97pak applies industry-standard security measures, players are reminded to maintain strong, unique passwords and to report any suspected unauthorised access to their accounts immediately.

8

Data Retention

97pak retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following minimum retention periods required by our operating licence:

  • Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of the account and for 5 years after account closure.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for 5 years from the date of the transaction, in accordance with AML record-keeping requirements.
  • KYC verification documents: Retained for 5 years after account closure or 5 years from the date of the last transaction, whichever is later.
  • Communications records (support chat, email): Retained for 3 years from the date of the communication.
  • Gaming activity data: Retained for 3 years from the date of the activity, or for the duration of any active dispute, whichever is longer.
  • Technical and device data: Retained for 12 months from collection.

Once the applicable retention period expires, personal data is securely and permanently deleted from all 97pak systems and backup archives.

Your Data Rights

97pak respects your rights over your personal data. The following rights are available to all 97pak players:

  • Right of Access: You may request a copy of all personal data that 97pak holds about you. We will provide this within 30 calendar days of your verified request.
  • Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected. Account name corrections require supporting CNIC documentation.
  • Right to Erasure: You may request that 97pak delete your personal data, subject to our legal obligation to retain certain data for regulatory purposes as described in Section 8.
  • Right to Restriction: You may request that 97pak restrict its processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or where processing is unlawful.
  • Right to Portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
  • Right to Object: You may object to 97pak's processing of your data for legitimate interests purposes. 97pak will cease such processing unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent (specifically, marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.

To exercise any of these rights, contact 97pak's data team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request." You will need to verify your identity before your request can be processed.

10

Children & Minors

The 97pak Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above. 97pak does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals below the age of 21. CNIC verification is used as the primary mechanism to confirm that all account holders meet the minimum age requirement.

If 97pak discovers that a player account belongs to an individual below the age of 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all personal data associated with the account will be handled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, and the matter may be referred to the relevant authorities.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child (under 21) has accessed or registered on the 97pak Platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

11

Marketing Communications

With your consent, 97pak may send you promotional communications including: bonus offers, deposit match promotions, free spin notifications, PSL and cricket betting specials, VIP programme updates, and platform news. These communications are delivered via SMS to your registered Pakistani mobile number.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:

  • Updating your communication preferences in your 97pak account settings.
  • Contacting support at [email protected] with the subject "Unsubscribe."

Opting out of marketing communications does not affect the delivery of transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal processing updates, and security alerts — which are sent regardless of marketing preferences as they are necessary for account operation.

97pak will never send unsolicited communications to individuals who have not registered on the Platform. If you receive a communication purportedly from 97pak but did not register an account, please report it to us immediately as it may indicate a phishing attempt.

12

International Data Transfers

As an internationally licensed gaming operator, 97pak's infrastructure involves data processing that may occur in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. Specifically, game servers, payment gateway processing infrastructure, and certain cloud hosting services may be located in jurisdictions that have their own data protection frameworks.

Where personal data is transferred to jurisdictions outside Pakistan, 97pak ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including: contractual data protection clauses with third-party processors, verification that the receiving jurisdiction offers adequate data protection standards, and encryption of data both in transit and at rest.

Players have the right to request details of the specific safeguards applied to international transfers of their data by contacting 97pak's data team.

13

Policy Updates & Changes

97pak reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, new regulatory requirements, or platform functionality enhancements.

Where changes to this Privacy Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect how your data is collected, used, or shared — 97pak will notify you via SMS to your registered mobile number and via a prominent notice on the Platform at least 14 calendar days before the updated Privacy Policy takes effect.

Your continued use of the 97pak Platform after the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept the updated Privacy Policy, you must cease using the Platform and may close your account as described in the Terms & Conditions.

The current version of this Privacy Policy is always available at 97pak.net/privacy-policy. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document indicates when the most recent changes were made.
