Privacy Policy — apk67

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out the basis on which apk67 ("we", "us", "our") collects, processes, stores and protects any personal data obtained from individuals ("you", "User") who access and use the website located at https://apk67.cam (the "Site").

apk67 is an independent online entertainment and information guide for the Pakistan market. We do not operate a casino, bookmaker or any form of licensed gambling service. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds or issue winnings. Our activities are limited to publishing editorial content about sports betting, casino gaming, responsible gambling practices and related topics in English for Pakistani audiences.

We are committed to processing personal data in a transparent, fair and lawful manner and to upholding the privacy rights of every individual who interacts with the Site. Please read this Policy in full. By using the Site, you confirm that you have read and understood its contents.

2. Definitions

The following terms are used throughout this Policy with the meanings given below:

3. Data Controller Identity

The Data Controller responsible for Personal Data processed through this Site is apk67, operating the website at https://apk67.cam. apk67 determines the purposes for which Personal Data is collected and the means by which it is processed.

For all privacy-related enquiries, data subject access requests or concerns, you may contact us using the details provided in Section 17 of this Policy. We commit to responding to substantive data-related requests within a reasonable timeframe, and no later than 30 calendar days of receipt.

apk67 does not collect sensitive categories of Personal Data such as health information, biometric data, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or financial account credentials. We have no mechanism to collect payment card numbers or banking information.

5. How We Collect Your Data

We collect Personal Data through the following means:

5.1 Automatic Collection

When you visit the Site, certain Technical Data and Usage Data are collected automatically through standard web server logs and analytics tools. This includes your IP address, browser characteristics and the pages you navigate. This collection is inherent to how websites operate and does not require any active input from you.

5.2 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to recognise your browser across sessions, store preference settings and gather anonymised analytics data. Full details are provided in Section 9 of this Policy.

5.3 Voluntary Communication

If you contact us via email — for example, by writing to our support address — you voluntarily provide us with your email address and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry.

5.4 Third-Party Analytics Services

We may use third-party analytics tools (such as web analytics platforms) that collect anonymised or aggregated data about Site usage. These tools may set their own cookies. We endeavour to ensure that any analytics data processed through third-party tools is anonymised to the greatest practical extent.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection frameworks require us to identify a legal basis for processing Personal Data, we rely on the following grounds:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing Technical Data and Usage Data to ensure the security, performance and improvement of the Site, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms;
• Consent: Where you have given explicit consent — for example, by accepting non-essential cookies — we process data on that basis. You may withdraw consent at any time;
• Contract Performance: If you contact us requesting support, processing your communication data is necessary to fulfil that service relationship;
• Legal Obligation: Where we are required to retain or disclose data to comply with applicable laws or valid regulatory or court orders.

7. How We Use Your Personal Data

apk67 uses collected Personal Data exclusively for the following purposes:

• Site Operation: To deliver, maintain and troubleshoot the Site's content and functionality;
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent malicious activity, bot traffic, abuse and unauthorised access attempts;
• Analytics & Improvement: To understand how users navigate the Site — which guides are most useful, where users in cities like Lahore or Islamabad spend the most time — and to improve content quality and structure;
• Localisation: To serve content relevant to Pakistani users, including contextual references to local payment methods such as Easypaisa, JazzCash and Raast, and sports like PSL and ICC cricket (for contextual relevance only — no endorsement by these providers or leagues is implied);
• Support Correspondence: To respond to enquiries submitted to our support email address;
• Legal Compliance: To comply with any applicable legal obligations or respond to valid legal processes.

We do not use Personal Data for automated decision-making or profiling in ways that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you. We do not use Personal Data to send unsolicited commercial communications.

8. Sharing Your Personal Data

apk67 does not sell, rent, trade or lease your Personal Data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes under any circumstances.

We may share Personal Data in the following limited circumstances:

8.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

We may engage carefully selected third-party service providers (acting as Data Processors) to assist in operating the Site — for example, web hosting providers, content delivery networks and analytics platforms. Such providers are contractually obligated to process data only on our instructions and to implement appropriate security measures.

8.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose Personal Data where required by law, court order, regulatory authority or government request, provided the request is lawful and proportionate. We will endeavour, where legally permissible, to notify affected users of such requests.

8.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of some or all of apk67's assets, Personal Data held by apk67 may be transferred to a successor entity. We will provide notice of any such transfer and ensure that the successor entity's privacy practices meet or exceed the standards set out in this Policy.

9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

apk67 uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — to support the proper functioning of the Site, remember your preferences and gather anonymised usage statistics. The following categories of cookies may be in use:

Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies through the browser's settings menu. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain Site features. Third-party CDN libraries (such as Bootstrap, Google Fonts and Bootstrap Icons) loaded from external servers may also set their own cookies or log requests; these are governed by their respective providers' privacy policies.

10. Data Retention

apk67 does not retain Personal Data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal retention obligations. Our general retention principles are as follows:

• Technical and Usage Data (logs): Retained for a maximum of 12 months, after which they are aggregated or deleted;
• Support Communication Data: Retained for up to 24 months following the resolution of your enquiry, or longer if required to address ongoing legal matters;
• Cookie Preference Data: Retained for the period set by the cookie's own expiry configuration, typically up to 12 months;
• Legal Hold Data: Where data must be retained to comply with a legal obligation or defend against potential claims, it is retained for the duration of that obligation and no longer.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any identifiable individual.

11. Data Security

apk67 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:

• Transmission of data over encrypted HTTPS connections using current TLS standards;
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of security practices and hosting infrastructure configuration;
• Use of reputable, security-conscious hosting and CDN providers.

While we take data security seriously, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will take appropriate steps to address the breach and, where required, notify affected individuals and relevant authorities.

12. International Data Transfers

As a website accessible globally, data collected from users — including those based in Pakistan — may be processed or stored on servers located outside of Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that adequate protections are in place, consistent with applicable data protection standards.

Third-party service providers we use — such as CDN providers for Bootstrap, Bootstrap Icons and Google Fonts — may process request data (including IP addresses) on servers located in various countries. These providers operate under their own privacy frameworks and policies.

By using the Site, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to, stored and processed in countries outside Pakistan. We rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or providers' own adequacy frameworks) where available and proportionate to the data processed.

13. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on applicable law and the nature of the data we hold about you, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to your Personal Data:

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the details in Section 17. We will respond within 30 calendar days. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

14. Minors & Age Restriction

The Site is strictly intended for adults. apk67 does not knowingly collect, solicit or process Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18. Access to this Site by minors is not permitted.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a person under 18 years of age, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has accessed this Site and provided Personal Data without your consent, please contact us immediately at the address in Section 17.

15. Third-Party Links & External Content

The Site may contain references or contextual descriptions relating to third-party platforms, operators or services. apk67 is not responsible for the privacy practices, data handling or content of any third-party website or platform.

Where the Site loads resources from third-party CDN providers — including Bootstrap CSS/JS (via cdn.jsdelivr.net), Bootstrap Icons and Google Fonts — those providers may receive technical request data (such as IP addresses) in the course of serving those resources. Such processing is governed by those providers' own privacy policies and is outside apk67's control.

We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party platform you choose to engage with, including any gambling operator whose content may be described on this Site.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

apk67 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law or the nature of our services. When we make changes, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Where changes are material — such as a significant expansion in the categories of data collected or a new purpose for processing — we will take reasonable steps to bring such changes to your attention through a prominent notice on the Site.

Your continued use of the Site following the publication of any updated Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of and agreement to the revised terms.
