Quick Summary
Privacy at a Glance
These cards summarise the key principles of our Privacy Policy. The full legal text in each section below governs in all cases. We recommend reading the complete policy carefully.
Minimal Data Collection
pm55 collects only the data strictly necessary to operate this reference platform — primarily technical and analytics data. We do not collect sensitive financial data, payment card details, betting histories or CNIC information.
No Data Sales
pm55 does not sell, rent or commercially trade personal data to any third party. Your information is used solely to operate and improve the Platform and to comply with applicable legal obligations.
Your Rights Are Respected
You have the right to access, correct, port or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Submit a written request to our contact address and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Secure Data Handling
We apply industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. No online system is fully immune to risk, but we take data security seriously.
Transparent Cookie Use
We use essential and analytics cookies only. We do not use advertising cookies or behavioural profiling cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.
Pakistan User Focused
This policy is written in plain English and is designed to be clearly understood by users across Pakistan — from Karachi and Lahore to Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. We do not make vague claims about data practices.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how pm55 ("we", "us", "our"), operating the website at https://pm55.cam ("Platform"), collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data in connection with your use of the Platform.
pm55 is an English-language online gaming reference and information platform designed for users in Pakistan. The Platform does not operate a gambling service, does not process financial transactions, does not manage player betting accounts and does not hold a Pakistan gambling licence or any government authorisation for gambling operations.
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Platform.
pm55 is committed to processing personal data responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable data protection principles. This Policy is written in plain English so that every Pakistani user — whether in Karachi, Islamabad or anywhere else — can understand exactly how their information is handled.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below:
- "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including but not limited to name, email address, IP address, device identifiers and browsing behaviour.
- "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, storage, use, disclosure, erasure or destruction.
- "Data Controller" means pm55, the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data collected via the Platform.
- "User" means any individual who accesses or uses the Platform in any capacity.
- "Cookies" means small text files placed on a user's device by a website to store session or preference information.
- "Analytics Data" means aggregated, non-individually-identifying information about how users interact with the Platform, collected to improve site performance and content relevance.
- "Third-Party Operator" means any external online casino, sportsbook or gaming service to which pm55 may make reference in its content. These entities are independent of pm55 and have their own privacy policies.
Data We Collect
pm55 limits data collection to the minimum necessary to operate the Platform and deliver a relevant experience. The categories of data we may collect are set out in the table below:
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Data | IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution | Platform security, fraud prevention, technical troubleshooting | Automatic |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, time on page, click patterns, referral source, session duration | Analytics, content improvement, user experience optimisation | Automatic |
| Cookie Data | Session cookies, preference cookies, analytics identifiers | Session management, language preferences, analytics aggregation | See Cookies section |

pm55 does not collect CNIC or national identity numbers, bank account or payment card details, betting or gambling transaction histories, biometric data, precise geolocation data, or sensitive personal data categories as defined under applicable data protection law.
How We Collect Data
We collect data through the following methods:
- Automatic Collection: Technical and usage data are collected automatically when you visit the Platform through server logs, analytics tools and session cookies. This occurs without any action on your part and is inherent to the operation of any website.
- Voluntary Submission: Contact data (such as an email address and message) is collected only when you voluntarily submit a support enquiry or written request to pm55.
- Cookie Placement: Cookies are placed on your device when you visit the Platform. Essential cookies are required for site functionality. Analytics cookies may require your consent depending on applicable law. See the Cookies section for full details.
- Browser and Device Signals: Standard HTTP request data including your IP address, browser version and referring URL are captured by our hosting and security infrastructure as part of normal web server operation.
Legal Basis for Processing
Where data protection law requires a legal basis for processing Personal Data, pm55 relies on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate Interests: Processing of technical and usage data to operate, maintain and improve the Platform, prevent fraud and ensure security — where our interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Consent: Where non-essential cookies are used and applicable law requires consent, we rely on your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings.
- Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with a legal obligation, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities.
- Contract Performance: Where you have submitted a support enquiry and we need to process your contact data to respond to it.
How We Use Your Data
pm55 uses Personal Data for the following purposes only:
- Platform Operation: To deliver, maintain and improve the Platform's content, functionality and technical performance for users across Pakistan.
- Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent, abusive or harmful activity on the Platform.
- Analytics & Improvement: To understand how Pakistani users interact with our content — including which game guides, sports betting pages and payment method articles are most useful — so we can improve relevance and quality.
- Support Responses: To respond to enquiries submitted by users via email or any contact mechanism provided on the Platform.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders and requests from competent authorities in relevant jurisdictions.
pm55 does not use Personal Data for advertising profiling, behavioural targeting, automated decision-making with legal effect, or sale of data. We do not use your data to facilitate or track gambling activities.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
pm55 does not sell, rent or commercially transfer Personal Data to any third party. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share technical data with carefully selected service providers who assist in operating the Platform, including web hosting providers, content delivery networks and analytics tools. Such providers are contractually required to process data only on our instruction and to maintain appropriate security standards.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose Personal Data where required by law, court order, regulatory authority or governmental request — including requests made under Pakistani law or the law of any other applicable jurisdiction.
- Protection of Rights: We may disclose data where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of pm55, its users or the public.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or transfer of assets, Personal Data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections. We will notify users of any such material change.
pm55 does not transfer any user data to Pakistani payment providers including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah. References to these providers on the Platform are for contextual and educational purposes only. pm55 has no data-sharing arrangements with these entities.
Data Retention
pm55 retains Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention approach is as follows:
| Data Type | Typical Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Server logs (IP, access records) | Up to 90 days (rolling) | Security and fraud prevention |
| Analytics data (aggregated) | Up to 26 months | Platform improvement |
| Support correspondence | Up to 2 years from last contact | Dispute resolution, legal compliance |
| Session cookies | Session duration only | Technical operation |
| Analytics cookies | Up to 13 months | Usage measurement |
Where data is no longer required for any of the above purposes and no legal retention obligation applies, we will securely delete or anonymise it. You may also request early deletion of your data — see the User Rights section below.
Data Security
pm55 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include:
- HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between users' browsers and the Platform.
- Access controls limiting internal access to personal data to authorised personnel only.
- Regular security assessments of Platform infrastructure and hosting environments.
- Contractual security obligations imposed on all third-party service providers who process data on our behalf.
Whilst we take data security seriously, no online system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
The Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We categorise our cookies as follows:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Strictly necessary for the Platform to function (session management, security tokens, load balancing) | Yes — cannot be disabled |
| Analytics Cookies | Collect aggregated, anonymised information about page visits, traffic sources and user behaviour to help us improve the Platform | Consent-based where required by law |
| Preference Cookies | Remember user interface preferences such as language settings | Optional |
pm55 does not use advertising cookies, remarketing pixels or third-party behavioural tracking cookies. You can manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect Platform functionality.

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data without undue delay.

Right to Object

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at the email address provided in the Contact Us section of this Policy. We will verify your identity before processing any rights request.
Minors & Age Restriction
The Platform contains gambling-related reference content and is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years and above, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant online gaming operator or licence jurisdiction.
pm55 does not knowingly collect, store or process Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided Personal Data to pm55, please contact us immediately using the details in the Contact Us section. We will take prompt action to delete any such data upon verified notification.
Access to gambling-related content is for adults only. Being aged 18 or above does not constitute confirmation that gambling is lawful in your jurisdiction. Pakistani users must independently verify their legal obligations under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977, and any other applicable law.
Pakistan-Specific Considerations
pm55 is an English-language platform designed primarily for users in Pakistan. In the context of Pakistani data protection, the following considerations are relevant:
- Pakistan's Personal Data Protection Bill (in legislative development as of the effective date of this Policy) and existing frameworks under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 (PECA) may be relevant to data processing activities connected to Pakistani users. pm55 commits to monitoring applicable Pakistani data legislation and updating this Policy accordingly.
- pm55 does not transfer user data to the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan, or any Pakistani provincial authority except where required by a valid legal obligation under applicable Pakistani law.
- References to Pakistani payment services — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — are contextual only. pm55 has no data-sharing relationship with these entities and does not transmit any user data to them.
- This Policy is written in English. If there is a discrepancy between an English version and any translation, the English version governs.
Third-Party References
The Platform may contain descriptive references to third-party operators, payment providers, sports organisations and other external services. These references do not constitute links to, endorsements of, or data-sharing arrangements with those third parties.
If you choose to engage with any third-party operator referenced on pm55, their own privacy policy will govern the collection and use of your personal data in that context. pm55 has no visibility into, or responsibility for, the data practices of third-party operators.
We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party operator before creating an account, making a deposit or sharing personal data with them.
Changes to This Policy
pm55 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of any changes.
If changes materially affect your rights or our data practices in a significant way, we will make reasonable efforts to draw your attention to the update — for example, by placing a prominent notice on the Platform homepage for a reasonable period.
