This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by pk399, the operator of the website accessible at https://pk399.cam ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our").

The following definitions apply throughout this Policy:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| "Personal Data" | Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person — including name, email address, IP address, device identifiers and browsing behaviour when such data is linked to an individual. |
| "Processing" | Any operation performed on personal data, including collection, recording, storage, adaptation, retrieval, use, disclosure, transfer or deletion. |
| "Data Controller" | The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. For the purposes of this Policy, pk399 is the Data Controller for data collected through the Platform. |
| "Data Processor" | Any third party that processes personal data on behalf of pk399 under a contractual data-processing agreement. |
| "Cookies" | Small text files placed on a user's device by a website. Cookies and similar technologies are used to store preferences, maintain sessions and collect analytical data. |

pk399 collects the minimum data necessary to operate the Platform and provide the services described in this Policy. The categories of personal data we may collect are as follows:
pk399 does not collect the following categories of data through the Platform:
pk399 collects personal data through the following mechanisms:
Data is collected directly from you when you voluntarily provide it — for example, when you submit a contact or support enquiry form on the Platform. You are under no obligation to provide such information; however, failure to do so may limit our ability to respond to your enquiry.
Certain data is collected automatically when you access the Platform, through the technologies described in Section 9 (Cookies & Tracking). This includes data collected via server logs, browser storage and analytics tools.
pk399 may use third-party analytics services to collect and analyse aggregated usage data about Platform visitors. Such services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies. pk399 does not control the data collection practices of third-party analytics providers but selects them carefully and, where possible, configures them to minimise personal data collection (for example, by enabling IP anonymisation).
Where data protection law requires pk399 to identify a lawful basis for processing personal data, the applicable bases are as follows:
pk399 uses the personal data it collects exclusively for the following purposes:
To deliver, maintain and improve the Platform's content and technical performance. This includes server operation, content delivery, security monitoring and error diagnosis.
To read, process and respond to contact forms, support requests and feedback submissions. Email addresses collected in this context are used solely for the purpose of responding to the specific enquiry submitted and are not retained beyond a reasonable period following resolution of the enquiry.
To analyse aggregated and, where possible, anonymised usage data for the purpose of understanding how the Platform is used, identifying popular content and improving the user experience for all visitors — including those accessing the Platform from major Pakistani cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar.
To detect, investigate and prevent security incidents, fraudulent activity, unauthorised access and abuse of the Platform. Log data and device identifiers may be used for this purpose.
To comply with applicable legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory authorities or law enforcement bodies where required by applicable law.
pk399 does not disclose personal data to third parties except in the limited circumstances described below:
pk399 may share personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who process data on our behalf for the purposes described in this Policy. These include:
All service providers are required to process personal data only in accordance with pk399's instructions and to implement appropriate security measures. pk399 does not authorise service providers to use personal data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.
pk399 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies or other governmental authorities where required or permitted by applicable law — for example, in response to a court order, regulatory investigation or legitimate legal process.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of pk399's assets, personal data held by pk399 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction, subject to the same data protection commitments described in this Policy.
pk399 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with applicable legal obligations. The following retention guidelines apply:
When personal data is no longer required, pk399 takes reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it securely.
pk399 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store preferences or session information.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is placed. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the Platform.
Specific instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers can be found in each browser's help documentation. Common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera. Steps to manage cookies vary by browser version.
Third-party services integrated with the Platform (such as analytics providers or content delivery networks) may set their own cookies on your device. pk399 does not control these cookies directly. Please refer to the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies for information about how they use the data collected.
The Platform is hosted on infrastructure that may be located outside of Pakistan. As a result, personal data collected through the Platform may be transferred to, stored in or processed in countries other than your country of residence.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, pk399 takes steps to ensure that the recipient applies appropriate safeguards to protect that data — for example, through the use of standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer of your personal data in accordance with this Policy. If you have concerns about international data transfers, please contact us using the details in Section 14.
Depending on your location and applicable data protection law, you may have one or more of the following rights in relation to the personal data pk399 holds about you:
You may request a copy of the personal data pk399 holds about you and information about how that data is processed.
You may request that pk399 correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you without undue delay.
In certain circumstances, you may request that pk399 delete the personal data it holds about you. This right is subject to legal retention obligations and legitimate interests.
You may request that pk399 restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest its accuracy or the lawfulness of processing.
Where technically feasible and legally applicable, you may request a machine-readable copy of personal data you have provided to pk399 for transfer to another data controller.
You may object to processing of your personal data where pk399 relies on legitimate interests as the lawful basis, unless pk399 can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to the contact address provided in Section 14. pk399 will respond to valid requests within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing a request. We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests, but may charge a proportionate fee for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
The pk399 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 or above — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction. pk399 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided personal data to pk399 without your consent, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 14. Upon verification, pk399 will take prompt steps to delete any personal data collected from a minor.
pk399 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be indicated by an updated review date at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, pk399 may provide additional notice through the Platform.
Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you must discontinue use of the Platform.
