1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy describes how APK AYZ ("we," "our," or "the platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of individuals who register for and use the APK AYZ online gaming platform at apkayz.app. APK AYZ is operated as an online casino and sports betting platform serving Pakistani players, with all transactions conducted in Pakistani Rupees (PKR).
APK AYZ acts as the data controller in relation to the personal information you provide when registering, depositing, placing bets, or otherwise interacting with the platform. This policy is written plainly so that every APK AYZ member — regardless of technical background — can understand exactly what happens to their data and what rights they hold over it.
By creating an APK AYZ account, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described here. This policy should be read alongside the APK AYZ Terms and Conditions.
2. Data We Collect
APK AYZ collects only the personal information that is necessary to operate the platform, verify your identity, process payments, and comply with our obligations under applicable law. We do not collect data beyond what is genuinely needed for these purposes. The categories of data we collect are described in the table below:
| Category | Examples | Why We Collect It |
|---|---|---|
| Registration data | Mobile number, chosen username, password (hashed) | To create and manage your APK AYZ account |
| Identity verification | CNIC number, name as on CNIC, date of birth | Age verification, fraud prevention, anti-money laundering compliance |
| Financial data | Deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, payment method identifiers (e.g., Easypaisa account last four digits) | Processing PKR transactions and verifying payment method ownership |
| Gaming activity | Bets placed, games played, session duration, win/loss history | Account management, responsible gaming monitoring, dispute resolution |
| Technical data | IP address, device type, browser type, operating system | Security monitoring, platform optimisation, fraud detection |
| Communications | Support chat transcripts, emails sent to APK AYZ | Resolving queries and maintaining a record of interactions |

3. How We Use Your Data
APK AYZ uses your personal data exclusively for the following purposes. We do not process your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected:
- Account management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your APK AYZ account throughout your membership.
- Payment processing: Facilitating PKR deposits via Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT, and card payments; processing withdrawal requests to your registered method.
- Identity and age verification: Confirming that you meet the 18+ age requirement and that your account identity is genuine — required before large withdrawals are processed.
- Fraud and security monitoring: Detecting and preventing unauthorised account access, payment fraud, multi-accounting, and bonus abuse.
- Responsible gaming: Monitoring gaming patterns to identify potential problem gambling behaviour and reaching out proactively where warranted. Managing self-exclusion, deposit limits, and cooling-off requests.
- Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and maintaining records of interactions for quality assurance.
- Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve APK AYZ's games, features, and overall user experience.
- Marketing communications: Sending promotional offers and PSL betting news — only to members who have opted in and only via the communication channels they have authorised.
- Legal compliance: Meeting applicable obligations under Pakistani law, responding to lawful requests from authorities, and maintaining records required by law.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
APK AYZ processes your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to operate your APK AYZ account, process your PKR transactions, and deliver the services you have signed up for.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Pakistani law, including identity verification, age checks, and record-keeping obligations.
- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud detection, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and platform improvement — where these interests are not outweighed by your rights.
- Consent: Processing for marketing communications, where you have explicitly opted in. You can withdraw this consent at any time without affecting your account.
5. Data Sharing
APK AYZ does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. Full stop. The only circumstances in which we share your data with external parties are described below:
- Payment processors: Transaction data is shared with Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, and card payment networks solely to process your deposits and withdrawals in PKR. These parties act as data processors on behalf of APK AYZ and are contractually bound to protect your data.
- Identity verification services: Where CNIC verification is required, a dedicated identity verification service provider may be used. They receive only the data needed for the verification and are not permitted to retain or use it for any other purpose.
- Fraud prevention: Anonymised or pseudonymised data may be shared with industry fraud-prevention databases to detect and prevent account fraud and payment abuse across the gaming sector.
- Legal authorities: Where required by Pakistani law, court order, or a lawful request from a regulatory or law enforcement authority, APK AYZ may be required to disclose account information. We will always seek to limit such disclosures to what is strictly required.
- Business restructuring: If APK AYZ undergoes a merger, acquisition, or significant restructuring, your account data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections as this policy.
6. Data Retention
APK AYZ retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your active membership on APK AYZ.
- Closed account data: Basic account records and transaction history are retained for a minimum of five years after account closure, as required for anti-money laundering and financial record-keeping obligations.
- Identity verification documents: Retained for five years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
- Support communications: Retained for three years from the date of the last interaction in a given support thread.
- Marketing preference data: If you have opted out of all marketing communications, your opt-out preference is retained indefinitely to ensure we do not contact you again without fresh consent.
When data reaches the end of its retention period, APK AYZ securely deletes or anonymises it so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.
7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
APK AYZ uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help the platform function correctly, remember your preferences, and analyse how the platform is used. The cookies APK AYZ uses fall into the following categories:
APK AYZ does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that would allow external advertisers to build a profile of your browsing activity. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies will affect platform functionality.

8. Security Measures
APK AYZ takes the security of your personal data seriously. The platform employs a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure:
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and APK AYZ servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security), the same standard used by banks and financial institutions.
- Encrypted storage: Sensitive personal data — including identity verification details and financial records — is stored using industry-standard encryption at rest.
- Password hashing: APK AYZ never stores your password in plain text. Passwords are hashed using a strong, one-way algorithm. APK AYZ staff cannot retrieve your password — only reset it.
- Access controls: Access to personal data within APK AYZ is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Staff members can only access account data relevant to their specific role.
- Fraud monitoring: Automated systems monitor login patterns, transaction behaviour, and device fingerprints to detect and block suspicious activity in real time.
- Regular security audits: APK AYZ conducts regular security reviews of its platform infrastructure to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Right to Rectification
If any of your data held by APK AYZ is inaccurate or out of date, you have the right to request correction. Many details can be updated directly in your account settings.

10. Children's Privacy
APK AYZ is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If APK AYZ discovers that a member is under 18, the account will be suspended immediately, any funds associated with the account will be reviewed, and the personal data will be deleted in accordance with our legal obligations.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 18 has registered an APK AYZ account using your details or independently, please contact us immediately at support@apkayz.app so we can take prompt action.
11. Marketing Communications
APK AYZ will only send you promotional messages — including information about new game releases, PSL betting promotions, bonus offers, and VIP Club updates — if you have explicitly opted in to receive them during registration or through your account settings.
Marketing messages from APK AYZ are delivered via SMS to your registered Pakistani mobile number, and by in-platform notification. We do not send marketing emails unless you have specifically opted into email communications. You can opt out of all APK AYZ marketing communications at any time by:
- Updating your communication preferences in your APK AYZ account dashboard
- Replying "STOP" to any promotional SMS from APK AYZ
- Emailing support@apkayz.app with the subject "Unsubscribe — [Your Account ID]"
Opting out of marketing communications will not affect your ability to use the APK AYZ platform, receive transactional messages about your account (such as deposit confirmations and withdrawal notifications), or access your responsible gaming tools.
12. Third-Party Links
The APK AYZ platform does not contain links to external third-party websites as part of its normal operation. All navigational links within APK AYZ point to internal pages within the apkayz.app domain. If you encounter a link that appears to lead outside APK AYZ, do not follow it without verifying its authenticity — it may be a phishing attempt.
APK AYZ is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party services you independently access outside the platform. This Privacy Policy applies only to data collected and processed by APK AYZ within the apkayz.app platform.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
APK AYZ may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, applicable law, or best practice. When material changes are made, APK AYZ will notify registered members via their registered mobile number and display a prominent notice on the platform for at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of APK AYZ after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
