At pakgems, protecting your personal data is not an afterthought — it is built into everything we do. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect from players across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and beyond, how we use it, who we share it with, and the controls you have over your own information.
Six principles that guide every data decision we make at pakgems — from the moment you register to the day you request account closure.
pakgems only collects personal information that is strictly necessary for operating your account, processing payments, and meeting our regulatory obligations. We never ask for data we do not genuinely need.
Every data transmission between your device and pakgems servers is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal records are secured end-to-end at all times.
pakgems does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your data exists on our platform to serve you — not to generate revenue for outside parties.
You have the right to access, correct, restrict, export, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. pakgems will respond to all verified data subject requests within the timeframes required by applicable data protection standards.
Data you provide for one purpose — for example, payment processing via JazzCash or EasyPaisa — will not be repurposed for unrelated activities. Every use of your data is tied to a specific, lawful, and transparent reason.
pakgems retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the original collection purpose, or as required by applicable law. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised from our systems.
Welcome to the pakgems Privacy Policy. pakgems operates the online gaming platform available at pakgems.net (the "Platform"), which offers cricket betting, live casino, slot games, fishing titles, and related entertainment products to registered players in Pakistan and other permitted jurisdictions.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes in detail how pakgems collects, receives, uses, stores, shares, transfers, and processes personal information in connection with your use of the Platform. It also describes the rights you hold over your personal data and how you may exercise those rights.
By registering a player account, making a deposit, or otherwise accessing any portion of the pakgems Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the data practices described herein. This Policy forms part of the overall agreement between you and pakgems, alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming guidelines.
Note: If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the pakgems Platform. Continued use following any update to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised version.
For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, pakgems acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected through the Platform. As data controller, pakgems determines the purposes for which and the means by which your personal data is processed.
Certain processing activities — such as payment verification, identity checks, and technical platform operations — may be carried out by third-party service providers acting as data processors on behalf of pakgems. Such processors are bound by contractual data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific tasks assigned to them.
If you have any questions regarding data controllership or wish to exercise your data subject rights, you may contact the pakgems Data Protection team at [email protected].
pakgems collects several categories of personal data. The specific data collected depends on how you interact with the Platform:
Sensitive Data: pakgems does not intentionally collect special category data (such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, or political opinions). If any such data is provided incidentally — for example, in a support message — it will not be processed beyond what is strictly necessary to handle your query.
pakgems collects personal data through the following channels:
The personal data collected by pakgems is used for the following specific purposes:

pakgems processes personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases, depending on the specific processing activity:
pakgems operates under international gaming regulations, and some of our service providers and infrastructure partners are located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred to a country that may not have equivalent data protection laws, pakgems ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

| Support communications | 3 years from last contact | Dispute resolution reference |
| Technical / usage logs | 13 months from collection | Security monitoring and analytics |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn | Proof of lawful marketing basis |
Where retention beyond these periods is required by a specific legal obligation, court order, or ongoing compliance investigation, pakgems will retain the relevant data for the duration of that obligation and then delete it promptly once the obligation is discharged.

pakgems applies a multi-layered approach to data security, combining technical, administrative, and organisational controls to safeguard your personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction:
Security Incident: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, pakgems will notify affected players and relevant supervisory authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law. Notification will include the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, and the remedial actions being taken.
The pakgems Platform is strictly prohibited for persons under the age of 21 years. pak gems does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Every registration attempt is subject to mandatory age verification checks using CNIC or passport documentation.
If pakgems becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 without verifiable parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our records and close the associated account. Any funds deposited by a minor will be returned via the original payment channel in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
Parental Advisory: If you believe your child (under 21) has registered or attempted to register on the pakgems Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay.
pakgems reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or platform features. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players by posting a prominent notice on the Platform and, where feasible, by sending a notification to the email address associated with your account.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how pakgems protects your personal information.
Your continued use of the pakgems Platform following the posting of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform and may request account closure in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
