batpkr Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the data controller responsible for your personal information is the entity that operates the batpkr platform under its international gaming license. batpkr is the trading name of the licensed operator.

By registering an account on batpkr, you acknowledge that your personal data will be processed by the batpkr data controller in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about the identity of the data controller or wish to exercise any of the rights described in this policy, you may contact us at the address given in Section 12.

2. Data We Collect

batpkr collects personal data through several channels during the lifecycle of your account. The categories of data we collect are set out below:

3. How We Use Your Data

batpkr uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:

• Account creation and management: To register your account, verify your identity, and maintain your player profile on the batpkr platform.
• Service delivery: To provide access to cricket betting, live casino games, slots, Callbreak, Pool Rummy, and all other batpkr products and features.
• Payment processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and any other supported payment method. Financial data is shared with payment processors solely to complete transactions.
• KYC and AML compliance: To verify your identity and age (21+), screen for politically exposed persons, and meet our anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations as required by our international gaming license.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor betting patterns, enforce self-exclusion and deposit limits, identify problem gambling indicators, and provide proactive support where necessary.
• Fraud prevention and security: To detect and investigate suspicious account activity, unauthorised access attempts, and potential bonus abuse or multi-accounting.
• Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and maintain records of support interactions for quality assurance purposes.
• Platform improvement: To analyse aggregate usage data, identify technical issues, and improve the performance and feature set of the batpkr platform over time.
• Marketing communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates by email or SMS — but only where you have given explicit consent or where a legitimate interest applies under our license terms. You may opt out at any time.
• Legal and regulatory obligations: To respond to lawful requests from law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts, and to fulfil reporting obligations under our international gaming license.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

batpkr relies on the following legal bases to process your personal data, depending on the specific purpose for which the data is used:

• Contractual necessity: Processing that is required to perform our contract with you — including account creation, payment processing, and game delivery — is carried out on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of that contract.
• Legal obligation: KYC verification, AML record-keeping, age verification (21+), and regulatory reporting are carried out because batpkr is legally required to do so under the terms of its international gaming license.
• Legitimate interests: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, responsible gaming analysis, and platform improvement are carried out on the basis of batpkr's legitimate interest in operating a safe, fair, and compliant platform. These interests do not override your fundamental rights.
• Consent: Direct marketing communications and non-essential cookies are processed only where you have given freely given, specific, and informed consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

batpkr does not sell your personal data. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

• Payment service providers: JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and other payment processors receive financial data necessary to execute your deposit and withdrawal transactions. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies and are bound by contractual data protection obligations.
• Identity verification partners: Third-party KYC and AML service providers may receive identity and document data to assist in the verification of your account. All such providers are subject to binding data processing agreements with batpkr.
• Technology and hosting providers: Our platform infrastructure, database hosting, and customer support software are operated by third-party technology vendors who access personal data solely as data processors acting on batpkr's documented instructions.
• Regulatory and licensing authorities: batpkr's international gaming license requires that certain player data and activity reports be made available to the licensing authority upon request. This sharing is mandatory and cannot be refused.
• Law enforcement and courts: batpkr will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, or other public authorities where required to do so by a valid legal order, warrant, or statutory obligation. Where permitted, batpkr will notify the affected account holder prior to disclosure.
• Business transfers: In the event that the batpkr business or any part of it is acquired, merged, or transferred to another entity, your personal data may form part of the transferred assets. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy practices of the successor entity.

6. Data Retention

batpkr retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to the following specific retention periods:

• Active account data: Personal, financial, and usage data associated with an active batpkr account is retained for the duration of the account's active status.
• Closed account data: Following voluntary account closure or suspension, core identity and transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years to satisfy AML and gaming license record-keeping obligations. After this period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
• KYC documents: Copies of identity documents submitted during KYC verification are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of submission, or longer where required by our licensing authority.
• Support communications: Customer support chat logs and email correspondence are retained for a period of two years from the date of the last interaction, after which they are deleted unless subject to an ongoing dispute or legal hold.
• Marketing consent records: Records of your marketing consent or opt-out are retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of three years thereafter, to demonstrate compliance with our marketing obligations.
• Self-exclusion records: Where you have applied a self-exclusion order on your batpkr account, a record of that exclusion is retained indefinitely to prevent circumvention through re-registration.

Once a retention period has expired and no legal hold applies, batpkr will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.

7. Data Security

batpkr implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and the batpkr platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. This applies to login sessions, payment submissions, and all other platform interactions.
• Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in batpkr's databases, including identity documents and financial records, is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within batpkr's systems is restricted to authorised personnel on a strictly need-to-know basis. All staff with access to personal data are trained in data protection obligations and bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Two-factor authentication: batpkr offers and strongly encourages the use of two-factor authentication (2FA) on all player accounts. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised account access.
• Penetration testing: batpkr's platform infrastructure is subject to regular third-party security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Incident response: In the event of a confirmed personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, batpkr will notify affected account holders and, where required, the relevant regulatory authority, within the timeframe mandated by our gaming license.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

batpkr uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and analyse platform performance. The following categories of cookies are used:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session authentication tokens, load-balancing identifiers, and security cookies. No consent is required for these cookies.
• Functional cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as language selection and display settings — to provide a more personalised experience. They may be disabled but doing so may affect platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies: batpkr uses privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how players navigate the platform in aggregate. These cookies collect anonymised data about page views, session durations, and feature usage. They are set only with your consent.
• Responsible gaming cookies: Session duration and activity tracking cookies are used to support our responsible gaming obligations, including the delivery of reality check notifications during extended gaming sessions. These are classified as strictly necessary under our license requirements.

You may manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from accessing certain areas of the batpkr platform. batpkr does not use third-party advertising cookies or serve behavioural advertising to our players.

• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact batpkr's data protection team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and include your registered account email address and a description of your request. We may need to verify your identity before processing the request.
