How We Collect Data

4. Third-party sources: We may receive aggregated or anonymised data from analytics providers, advertising networks or content delivery services we engage. We do not purchase personal data profiles from data brokers.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where data protection legislation requires a legal basis for the processing of personal data, batpkr relies on the following bases:

• Legitimate Interests: We process technical, device and usage data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional and well-optimised information website. We have assessed that this processing does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Where we use non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies), we rely on your consent, which you may provide or withdraw through your browser settings or any cookie preference mechanism we make available.
• Contract Performance: Where you contact us directly with an enquiry, we process your contact data to the extent necessary to respond to your request.
• Legal Obligation: We may process and retain data where required to do so by applicable law or in response to a lawful request from a competent authority.

How We Use Your Data

batpkr uses the personal data it collects for the following purposes:

• Operating and maintaining the website: To deliver pages, ensure content is presented correctly on your device, and diagnose and fix technical faults.
• Analytics and improvement: To understand how visitors use the site — which pages are most popular, where users drop off, and how content can be improved — so that we can make batpkr more useful for Pakistani users interested in sports betting guides, PSL/T20 coverage, cricket odds information and responsible gambling resources.
• Security and fraud prevention: To detect, investigate and prevent malicious activity, abuse, or unauthorised access to the website.
• Responding to enquiries: To communicate with you if you contact us directly via email.
• Legal compliance: To comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from authorities, and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

We will not use your personal data for any purpose incompatible with those listed above without first providing you with notice and, where required, obtaining your consent.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, and be notified when new cookies are set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this website.

We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising tracking or to build personal profiles for sale to third parties. batpkr does not deploy advertising network cookies that track your activity across other websites.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

batpkr does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers (Data Processors): We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist in operating the website — including web hosting providers, analytics platforms and content delivery networks. These providers process data only on our instructions and are contractually prohibited from using it for their own purposes.
• Legal and Regulatory Obligations: We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, court order, or in response to a legitimate request by a competent government or law enforcement authority. We will, where permitted, notify you of such a request.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of batpkr's assets, personal data held by us may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify users of any such transfer that materially affects this Privacy Policy.
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose data where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of batpkr, its users, or third parties, including in connection with enforcing our Terms & Conditions.

International Data Transfers

The batpkr website is accessible globally, including from Pakistan and other countries. The data we collect may be processed or stored on servers located outside Pakistan. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated with an equivalent level of protection to that described in this policy.

If you are accessing the site from Pakistan or another jurisdiction with specific data localisation or cross-border transfer requirements, please be aware that by using the site you acknowledge that data may be processed in other countries. We do not make representations about the adequacy of data protection laws in any specific country beyond applying the principles set out in this policy.

Data Retention

batpkr retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention principles are as follows:

• Technical and usage data derived from server logs is typically retained for up to 12 months, after which it is aggregated, anonymised or deleted.
• Analytics data collected through third-party analytics tools is retained in accordance with the data retention settings configured within those tools, generally between 14 and 26 months.
• Contact data (email correspondence) is retained for as long as necessary to resolve the relevant enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, typically no longer than 24 months, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
• Cookie data persists for the duration set within each individual cookie, ranging from session-only (deleted when your browser closes) to up to 12 months for persistent cookies.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it. If full deletion is not immediately possible due to technical constraints, we will isolate the data from further processing until deletion can be carried out.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law and the nature of the data processed, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by batpkr:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data — for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent on which processing is based.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute about accuracy is resolved.
• Right to Object: You may have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where it is based on our legitimate interests, if you believe your rights and freedoms override those interests.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 17. We will endeavour to respond to all valid requests within a reasonable time frame. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Children's Privacy

The batpkr website is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and above — or the higher minimum age required by any applicable operator or license jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal data to us through this website, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 17. Upon verification, we will take prompt steps to delete any such data from our records.

Third-Party References & External Sites

Our content references Third-Party Operators — online sports betting and casino platforms — for informational and educational purposes. batpkr does not control these third-party platforms and is not responsible for their privacy practices or data processing activities.

Similarly, payment service names referenced on this site — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — are cited as familiar Pakistan payment context only. We have no data-sharing relationship with any of these payment providers, and none of them endorse, support or are affiliated with batpkr or any gambling operator referenced herein.

If you click through to a Third-Party Operator's website, your subsequent activity and any data you provide will be governed entirely by that operator's own privacy policy. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit before submitting any personal information.

Data Security

batpkr takes the security of personal data seriously and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or alteration. These measures include:

• Encrypted data transmission via HTTPS/TLS across the entire website;
• Access controls limiting internal access to personal data to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of security practices and vulnerability assessment;
• Use of reputable hosting and infrastructure providers with their own security certifications.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, 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 notify affected users as required by applicable law.

batpkr reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also provide notice of significant changes through the website where appropriate.
