01Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by a2pkr ("a2pkr", "we", "us" or "our"), the operator of the website at https://a2pkr.cam (the "Site"). It describes the categories of personal data we may collect, the purposes for which that data is used, the circumstances in which it may be shared with third parties, the period for which it is retained and the rights you hold with respect to your personal information.
a2pkr is an English-language online gambling information and guide platform designed for adult users in Pakistan and other jurisdictions. Our Site provides educational content on sports betting, live casino gaming, cricket betting markets — including Pakistan Super League (PSL) T20 and ICC tournaments — responsible gambling practices, bonus terms and payment method context. We do not operate a gambling product, casino or sportsbook, and we do not process gambling transactions of any kind.
Scope of this Policy: This Policy applies solely to data collected through the a2pkr website at https://a2pkr.cam. It does not govern the data practices of any third-party gambling operator, payment service provider or external website that may be referenced in our informational content. Users should review each third party's privacy policy separately.
By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and you consent to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Site. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions.

If you have any questions about this Policy or wish to exercise any of your data rights described in Section 12, please contact us using the details above or as set out in Section 17 of this Policy.
04Personal Data We Collect
a2pkr operates as an informational guide and does not require User registration or account creation to access its content. As a result, the volume and sensitivity of personal data we collect is intentionally limited. The categories of data we may collect include:
If you contact us via our support email address for a general enquiry, you may voluntarily provide us with your name and email address as part of that communication. We do not operate an on-Site contact form, account registration system or subscription service that collects personal data automatically.
When you visit the Site, certain technical data may be collected automatically through server logs, analytics tools or similar technologies. This may include:
a2pkr expressly does not collect the following categories of data:
- Payment card details, bank account information or any financial credentials;
- Gambling account usernames, passwords or account balances at any operator;
- Copies of identity documents (CNIC, passport) — these are only relevant in the context of operator KYC processes, which are entirely separate from a2pkr;
- Sensitive personal data relating to racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data or biometric identifiers;
- Data from children under 18 years of age — the Site is strictly for adults only.
05How Personal Data Is Collected
Personal data is collected through the following means on a2pkr:
- Direct communication: When you send an email to our support address for a general enquiry about the Site or its content, you provide us with your email address and any other personal information contained in your message;
- Automatic technical collection: Server infrastructure and analytics tools may automatically record technical and usage data as described in Section 4.2 when you load pages on the Site;
- Cookies and similar technologies: Cookies or similar tracking technologies on the Site may collect session identifiers, preference data and usage analytics. See Section 8 for full details.
a2pkr does not collect personal data through third-party data brokers, does not purchase data lists and does not engage in unsolicited outreach using data acquired through means other than direct user contact.
06Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection legislation requires a lawful basis for the processing of personal data, a2pkr relies on the following bases depending on the specific processing activity:
- Legitimate interests: The processing of technical and usage data for the purposes of Site security, fraud prevention, performance monitoring and content improvement constitutes a legitimate interest of a2pkr that does not override the privacy rights of Users, given the limited and non-sensitive nature of the data involved;
- Consent: Where cookies or similar tracking technologies are used that require consent under applicable law, a2pkr will seek your consent before placing such technologies. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings as described in Section 8;
- Contract performance: Where you have contacted us with a query, processing your contact data to respond to that query is necessary for the performance of the communication you have initiated;
- Compliance with legal obligations: We may process and retain data to the extent required to comply with applicable legal obligations, including data retention requirements imposed by law.
07Purposes of Data Processing
a2pkr processes personal data only for the specific, limited purposes described below. We do not use personal data for purposes incompatible with the original reason it was collected without obtaining fresh consent or another valid lawful basis.
- Operating and maintaining the Site: Technical data is processed to deliver web pages, manage server infrastructure and ensure the Site functions correctly for Users across Pakistan — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar or elsewhere;
- Site security and fraud prevention: IP addresses and access logs may be monitored to detect and respond to security threats, automated scraping, distributed denial-of-service attacks or other malicious activity;
- Performance analytics and content improvement: Aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised usage data helps us understand which sections of the Site are most useful to Pakistani users and where our content can be improved;
- Responding to enquiries: Contact data provided voluntarily by Users is used solely to respond to the relevant enquiry and is not used for unsolicited marketing;
- Legal compliance: We may process and retain data as required to comply with applicable legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities.
a2pkr does not use personal data for targeted advertising, profiling for marketing purposes, sale to data brokers or any purpose unrelated to the legitimate operation of this informational Site.
08Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences and collect analytics data. a2pkr may use or facilitate the use of the following categories of cookies:
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They typically relate to session management, security controls and server-side routing. No personal data beyond a session identifier is typically processed through these cookies. These do not require your consent as they are necessary for delivery of the service you have requested.
a2pkr may use analytics tools to collect aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised data about how Users interact with the Site — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and how long visitors spend on different sections. This information is used to improve the quality and relevance of our content for Pakistani users.
Analytics data does not identify individual Users in personally identifiable form. Where analytics tools that set cookies are used, such cookies are only placed following a valid consent mechanism where required by applicable law.
You can manage, restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Common browser controls include:
- Blocking all third-party cookies;
- Deleting all cookies stored on your device when you close your browser;
- Receiving a notification before a cookie is placed;
- Blocking cookies from specific websites.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Adjusting cookie settings has no effect on your ability to read a2pkr's informational content.
a2pkr does not use browser fingerprinting, pixel tracking for advertising networks, session recording tools that capture keystrokes or cross-site tracking technologies for advertising purposes.
09Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure
a2pkr does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to any third party under any circumstances. Disclosure of personal data to third parties may occur only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers and processors: We may engage carefully selected third-party service providers — such as web hosting, content delivery network (CDN), server infrastructure and analytics providers — who process data on our behalf in accordance with our instructions and under contractual data processing agreements. These processors are not permitted to use data for their own purposes;
- Legal requirements: We may disclose personal data where required to do so by law, court order, regulatory authority or other governmental request, provided such request is lawful and proportionate;
- Protection of rights: We may disclose data where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of a2pkr, its users or third parties, or to prevent fraud or abuse of the Site;
- Business reorganisation: In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or reorganisation of a2pkr, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any such change via an updated Privacy Policy.
References to third-party payment providers (Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah) and sports organisations (PSL, ICC, PCB) in a2pkr's content are purely informational. a2pkr does not share any User data with these organisations.
10Data Retention
a2pkr retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal obligations. The following general retention principles apply:
- Enquiry correspondence: Email correspondence received from Users in response to general enquiries is retained for as long as necessary to resolve the query and for a reasonable period thereafter to handle any follow-up, then securely deleted;
- Technical / server logs: Server log data including IP addresses and access records is typically retained for a limited period necessary for security and operational purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised;
- Analytics data: Aggregated analytics data that does not identify individual Users may be retained for longer periods for the purpose of understanding long-term content performance trends;
- Legal retention obligations: Where applicable law requires us to retain certain records for a minimum period, we will comply with that requirement and delete the data upon expiry of the mandatory retention window.
11Data Security
a2pkr implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include:
- HTTPS / TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and the Site is encrypted in transit using current TLS protocols, indicated by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar;
- Access controls: Access to systems that may process personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis;
- Infrastructure security: Hosting infrastructure is maintained with current security patches and monitored for known vulnerability patterns;
- Data minimisation: We process the minimum personal data necessary for the stated purpose, reducing the risk profile of any potential security incident.
Important: No security measure is 100% impenetrable. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security over internet transmissions. If you believe your data may have been compromised, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Note: this email address is for general enquiries only — do not send sensitive documents through this channel.

13Children's Privacy
The Site is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's license jurisdiction. a2pkr does not knowingly collect, solicit or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18. Gambling information is an adult subject matter and access by minors is strictly prohibited.
If you are the parent or guardian of a minor and you believe that the minor has accessed the Site or provided personal data to us without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will take prompt steps to delete any personal data relating to the minor from our systems upon verification of the request.
18+ Only. If you are under 18 years of age, you must leave this Site immediately. This age restriction does not imply that gambling is lawful in Pakistan; local laws — including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — may restrict or prohibit online gambling activity.
14Third-Party Links & References
a2pkr's informational content may reference or discuss third-party platforms, services, payment providers and sports organisations for educational context. These references do not constitute endorsements. When content references third-party brands — such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, PSL, ICC or any gambling operator — the inclusion of those names does not imply that those organisations endorse a2pkr, support gambling or have any relationship with our platform.
a2pkr does not include live hyperlinks to external websites within its content, other than navigation and footer links to its own internal pages. If you independently navigate to a third-party website — such as a gambling operator, payment provider or any other external service — the privacy practices of that website are governed entirely by its own privacy policy. a2pkr has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the data practices of any third party.
15International Data Transfers
a2pkr operates in a global digital environment. Technical data collected automatically through Site visits — such as server logs — may be processed on servers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred to or processed in a country outside your country of residence, a2pkr will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for that transfer, consistent with applicable data protection requirements.
If you are accessing the Site from Pakistan, please be aware that Pakistani data protection law may not have the same scope or mechanisms as data protection frameworks in other jurisdictions. By using the Site, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in the jurisdiction(s) where our servers or service providers are located.
16Changes to This Privacy Policy
a2pkr reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, operational requirements or technical infrastructure. When material changes are made, the "Last reviewed" date displayed at the top of this page will be updated.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your data. Your continued use of the Site following the publication of an amended Policy constitutes your acceptance of those amendments. If the changes are significant and require fresh consent, we will take appropriate steps to obtain it.
