We may disclose personal data where required by applicable law, court order, or the lawful request of a competent government or regulatory authority. We will, where legally permissible, endeavour to notify affected users of any such disclosure.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of 87pk's assets, personal data held by 87pk may be transferred as part of that transaction. Users would be notified of any such transfer and the applicable privacy terms prior to personal data becoming subject to a materially different privacy policy.

87pk does not share user data with any payment service provider, including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah. These entities are referenced on the Platform for contextual and educational purposes only, and no data transfer or integration exists between 87pk and these providers.

8Cookies & Tracking Technologies

87pk uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the Platform to recognise your browser, remember your preferences and collect usage analytics.

8.1 Types of Cookies We Use

8.2 Managing Cookies

You may manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies in commonly used browsers are available through your browser's help documentation.

9Data Retention

87pk retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Policy, or as required by applicable law.

• Automatically Collected Data: Retained in aggregated or anonymised form for up to 24 months for analytics purposes. Raw logs containing IP addresses are retained for no longer than 90 days unless retention is required for security investigation.
• Support Correspondence: Emails and messages submitted via support channels are retained for up to 12 months following the resolution of the relevant query, after which they are securely deleted.
• Cookie Data: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire in accordance with the applicable retention period set for that cookie category, typically between 30 days and 12 months.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.

10Security Measures

87pk implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, disclosure or alteration. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between user browsers and Platform servers (look for the padlock icon in your browser address bar);
• Access controls restricting internal access to personal data on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular review of security configurations and vulnerability assessments;
• Data minimisation practices ensuring we collect and retain only what is necessary.

• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and no other legal basis applies.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while a rectification request is pending.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you may request that your data be provided in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

12Minors & Age Restriction

The 87pk Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the user's jurisdiction or any applicable operator licence terms. 87pk does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18 years of age.

If we become aware that personal data has been submitted by or on behalf of a person under the applicable minimum age, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems. If you believe that personal data relating to a minor has been collected via the Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

13International Data Transfers

Personal data collected by 87pk may be processed or stored in countries outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, 87pk takes steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect personal data in accordance with this Policy and applicable data protection standards. These safeguards may include contractual clauses, standard data protection clauses or adequacy determinations as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your country of residence. 87pk will take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely wherever it is processed.
