Privacy Policy — p977

Welcome to p977 ("we", "us", "our"). p977 is an English-language online gaming information platform designed specifically for Pakistani users. This Privacy Policy sets out a detailed account of how p977 collects, receives, uses, stores, transfers, discloses and otherwise processes personal data relating to users ("you", "your") of the p977 website located at https://p977.cam (the "Platform").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in a transparent, lawful and responsible manner. We recognise that users across Pakistan — from Karachi and Lahore to Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar — deserve a clear and honest explanation of what happens to their data when they visit and use the Platform.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, you should discontinue use of the Platform immediately.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms shall have the meanings assigned to them below:

• "Personal Data" — Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, including but not limited to name, email address, IP address, device identifiers, browsing behaviour and location data.
• "Processing" — Any operation or set of operations performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, dissemination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
• "Data Controller" — p977, being the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data collected through the Platform.
• "Data Processor" — Any third party that processes Personal Data on behalf of p977 in accordance with documented instructions.
• "User" — Any individual who accesses, browses or interacts with the Platform, whether or not they hold a registered account.
• "Cookies" — Small text files placed on a user's device by a website to store preferences, session information and other technical data.
• "Platform" — The p977 website accessible at https://p977.cam, including all pages, sub-pages, features and content published thereon.
• "Consent" — A freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of a User's agreement to the processing of their Personal Data for a stated purpose.

p977 collects two broad categories of data: data you provide directly to us, and data we collect automatically when you use the Platform.

p977 does not knowingly collect sensitive personal data such as financial account numbers, national identity card (CNIC) details, biometric data or health information through the Platform. If you inadvertently include such information in a support message or communication, we will delete it promptly upon becoming aware of it.

p977 collects Personal Data through the following mechanisms:

• Direct Interactions: When you register for an account, complete a contact or support form, or send us an email, you provide data directly to us. All information you voluntarily submit is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• Automated Technologies: When you access the Platform, we automatically collect technical and usage data through cookies, server logs, pixel tags and similar tracking technologies. This data helps us understand how the Platform is used and allows us to maintain its performance and security.
• Third-Party Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services to collect aggregated usage data about Platform visitors. Where such services are used, they are configured to process data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
• Correspondence: If you contact us by email at [email protected] or through any help facility available on the Platform, we retain a record of that correspondence, including any Personal Data contained within it.

p977 processes Personal Data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes. We do not use your data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected. The primary purposes for which we process Personal Data are as follows:

• Platform Operation: To provide, maintain and improve the Platform and its features, including ensuring technical stability, loading content correctly and personalising your experience where applicable;
• Account Management: To create, manage and administer registered user accounts, process login requests and maintain account security;
• Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, resolve technical issues and handle support requests submitted to [email protected];
• Analytics and Performance: To understand how users interact with the Platform, identify popular content, diagnose technical problems and make data-driven improvements to the user experience;
• Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, abuse of the Platform and other security incidents;
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable legal obligations, respond to lawful requests from competent authorities and enforce our Terms and Conditions;
• Communications: To send you service-related notices, updates to this Privacy Policy and other administrative communications where necessary.

p977 does not use your Personal Data for automated decision-making or profiling in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

p977 processes Personal Data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the nature of the processing activity:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to perform the contract between you and p977 — for example, creating and maintaining your account or delivering the services you have requested;
• Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out in pursuit of p977's legitimate business interests, including Platform security, fraud prevention, analytics and service improvement, provided those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights;
• Legal Obligation: Processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation applicable to p977 — for example, retaining records in response to a lawful regulatory or law enforcement request;
• Consent: Where no other legal basis applies, we rely on your freely given, specific and informed consent — for example, in relation to certain non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

p977 does not sell, rent or trade your Personal Data to any third party for commercial purposes. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances only:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the Platform — such as hosting providers, analytics platforms and email delivery services — under strict contractual terms that prohibit them from using the data for their own purposes;
• Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose Personal Data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies or courts where we are required to do so by law, court order or binding governmental directive. We will notify you of such requests where we are legally permitted to do so;
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of p977's assets, Personal Data held by p977 may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections;
• Protection of Rights: We may share data where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of p977, its users or the public, or to prevent fraud or misuse of the Platform.

In all cases where data is shared with third parties, p977 takes appropriate steps to ensure that Personal Data is handled securely and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

The p977 Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, maintain session state, and collect aggregated usage analytics. The table below describes the categories of cookies used on the Platform:

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser — consult your browser's help documentation for guidance specific to your device.

p977 does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your browsing activity across unrelated websites.

p977 retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention guidelines are as follows:

• Account Data: Retained for the duration of your account and for up to two years following account closure, unless a longer retention period is required by law;
• Support and Communications Data: Retained for up to two years from the date of the last communication, to allow us to reference the history of your enquiry if you contact us again;
• Technical and Usage Data: Typically retained in aggregated or anonymised form for up to twenty-four months for analytics and performance monitoring purposes;
• Legal and Compliance Records: Retained for the period required under applicable law, which may extend beyond the periods above where a legal obligation applies.

When Personal Data is no longer required, p977 will securely delete or anonymise it in a manner that prevents identification of the individual to whom it related. Where anonymisation is not practicable, data will be securely destroyed.

p977 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols;
• Storage of passwords in hashed form using strong cryptographic algorithms — we never store passwords in plain text;
• Access controls and authentication requirements limiting internal access to Personal Data to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability reviews of Platform infrastructure;
• Monitoring for anomalous access patterns and potential intrusion activity.

As a user of the p977 Platform, you have a number of rights in relation to your Personal Data. These rights are set out below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a clear description of your request:

p977 will respond to all verified rights requests within a reasonable timeframe, and in any event within 30 days of receipt. We may request proof of your identity before processing your request to protect the security of your data.

The p977 Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the higher minimum age required by any operator or licence jurisdiction applicable to gaming activities referenced on the Platform. We do not knowingly collect, solicit or process Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided Personal Data to p977, please contact us at [email protected] and we will act promptly.

The p977 Platform may contain references to or information about third-party gaming operators, sports leagues, tournaments and payment service providers. These references are purely informational and contextual. In particular:

• Payment provider names referenced on the Platform — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — are mentioned for contextual familiarity relevant to Pakistani users only. p977 does not integrate with, receive data from, or share data with these providers in connection with the Platform;
• References to Pakistan cricket, PSL T20, ICC tournaments, football and UFC are made for informational sporting context only and do not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement from, any sporting body or league;
• Any third-party platforms or services you choose to engage with as a result of information found on p977 will have their own privacy policies, which will govern how they handle your data. p977 bears no responsibility for the data practices of third-party platforms.

We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing them with your Personal Data.

p977 reserves the right to update, revise or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations or Platform features. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where practicable, notify registered users by email or by a prominent notice on the Platform.

Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform and, where applicable, request the closure of your account.
