Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by wlpkr, the operator of the website accessible at https://wlpkr.cam (the "Site"). This Policy explains what personal data wlpkr collects from users, how it is processed, the legal basis on which it is processed, and the rights available to users in relation to their personal data.

wlpkr is an English-language information platform serving Pakistani users with editorial content about online sports betting, casino games and responsible gambling. We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept wagers, hold player deposits or process gaming transactions. Our data handling activities are therefore limited in nature and scope compared to a gambling operator.

By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and use of your information as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must cease using the Site.

For the purposes of this Policy, the following definitions apply:

• "Personal Data" means any information that identifies or can identify a living individual, directly or indirectly, including but not limited to names, email addresses, IP addresses and browsing data.
• "Processing" means any operation or set of operations performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, storage, retrieval, use, disclosure, erasure or destruction.
• "Data Controller" means wlpkr, the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data collected through this Site.
• "Data Subject" means the natural person to whom Personal Data relates — in this context, the user of the Site.
• "Cookies" means small text files placed on a user's device by a website to store information about browsing behaviour and preferences.
• "Third Party" means any natural or legal person other than wlpkr and the Data Subject.
• "Applicable Law" means all data protection, privacy and cybersecurity laws applicable to the Data Controller and/or the Data Subject in their respective jurisdictions.

wlpkr collects only the data necessary to operate this informational Site effectively. As we do not require users to register for an account, we do not collect identity documents, payment details or sensitive personal data as standard. The categories of data we may collect are described below.

wlpkr processes the data it collects for the following purposes:

The legal bases on which wlpkr processes Personal Data are as follows:

• Legitimate Interests: The processing of Technical Data and Usage Data for Site operation, security and content improvement is carried out on the basis of wlpkr's legitimate interest in operating a well-functioning, secure and relevant informational platform. We have assessed that this interest is not overridden by user privacy interests.
• Consent: Where we use non-essential cookies or analytics tools that go beyond strictly necessary Site function, we rely on your consent as the legal basis. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser cookie settings.
• Contract Performance: Where you contact us and we respond to your query, processing is necessary to carry out the communication you have initiated.
• Legal Obligation: Where applicable law requires us to retain or disclose certain data, we process it on the basis of legal obligation.

wlpkr uses cookies and similar browser-based tracking technologies to support the functioning of this Site and to understand how users interact with our content. This section explains the types of cookies we use and how you can manage them.

Managing Cookies: You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or prompt you before accepting new ones. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this Site. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.

wlpkr does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to any third party. We may share limited data with the following categories of third party only where strictly necessary:

• Analytics Providers: We may use third-party analytics services (such as web analytics platforms) to process aggregated, anonymised usage data. These providers are contractually bound not to use the data for their own purposes.
• Hosting & Infrastructure Providers: Our Site is hosted on third-party infrastructure. The hosting provider processes technical data as part of service delivery but is not permitted to use this data independently.
• Legal Authorities: We may disclose Personal Data to competent law enforcement, regulatory or judicial authorities if required to do so by applicable law or in response to a valid legal process.

wlpkr retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention principles apply:

• Technical and Usage Data collected via server logs and analytics is typically retained for up to 24 months in anonymised or aggregated form, after which it is deleted or further anonymised.
• Communication Data received via email is retained for as long as is reasonably necessary to resolve the communication and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up queries. Typically no longer than 12 months unless there is a legitimate ongoing reason for retention.
• Cookie Data expires in accordance with the durations set out in Section 6 above, unless manually cleared by the user before that point.

Where data is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with an individual user.

wlpkr implements reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and this Site.
• Access controls limiting internal access to Personal Data to authorised personnel only.
• Regular review of data security practices to align with current standards.
• Use of reputable, security-certified hosting and infrastructure providers.

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to any Personal Data wlpkr holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 14. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with our legal obligations.

wlpkr serves primarily Pakistani users accessing the Site from cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar, as well as Pakistani users residing abroad. Data transmitted via the internet may be processed on servers located outside Pakistan.

Pakistan's data protection framework is evolving. The Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB) has been under parliamentary consideration and may become law. wlpkr monitors relevant legislative developments and is committed to aligning its data practices with applicable Pakistani and international data protection standards as they develop.

wlpkr is not regulated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with the State Bank of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), or any other Pakistani governmental or regulatory body. No claim of government approval or oversight should be inferred from anything in this Policy.

This Site is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older (or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction). wlpkr does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we become aware that Personal Data has been submitted by or on behalf of a minor, we will take prompt steps to delete that data. Parents and guardians who believe their child may have submitted data to this Site should contact us immediately at the email address provided in Section 14.

Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to use parental control software and browser-level filtering tools to restrict minors from accessing websites containing gambling-related information.

wlpkr reserves the right to update, revise or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. The most current version will always be published on this page, with the "Last Updated" date revised accordingly.

We recommend that you review this Policy periodically to stay informed of any changes. Your continued use of the Site following the publication of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree to the revised Policy, you must cease using the Site.

Material changes that significantly affect how we process your Personal Data will be noted prominently on this page. Routine editorial corrections or clarifications that do not substantively change data processing practices may be made without specific notification.
