Introduction
ok37 ("we", "us", "our", "Platform") is an English-language online betting and casino information platform accessible at https://ok37.cam. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out how ok37 collects, uses, discloses, stores and protects the personal information of individuals ("you", "User") who visit, register on or otherwise interact with the ok37 platform.
This Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with the ok37 Services, including data collected via the website, mobile applications and any correspondence you conduct with our support team. It forms part of the broader contractual framework between you and ok37, which also includes our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gambling Policy.
ok37 has a significant user base in Pakistan — players from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and across the country. While Pakistan's personal data legislation continues to evolve, ok37 applies GDPR-aligned data protection principles as the baseline standard for all users, regardless of their country of access.
Important: ok37 does not claim authorisation from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), State Bank of Pakistan, or any other Pakistani regulatory body in respect of its data handling practices. Users in Pakistan are encouraged to review their rights under applicable Pakistani data protection legislation, including the Personal Data Protection Bill (as enacted or amended from time to time).

Personal Data We Collect
ok37 collects personal data through several distinct channels. The categories of data collected and the context of collection are set out below:

4.3 Data From Third Parties
We may receive personal data about you from third-party sources, including KYC/AML verification providers, fraud prevention databases, payment processors and, where applicable, responsible gambling exclusion registers. Data received from these sources is used only to the extent necessary to verify your identity, prevent financial crime or fulfil our responsible gambling obligations.
Payment Method References: ok37 references familiar Pakistani payment brands (Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah) as contextual payment references only. Any financial data associated with your payment activity is collected and processed solely for the purposes of transaction processing, AML compliance and fraud prevention — never for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. None of these payment providers have access to your ok37 account data unless acting as a contracted Data Processor under appropriate safeguards.
Lawful Basis for Processing
ok37 processes personal data only where a valid lawful basis exists. The applicable lawful bases are as follows:
| Lawful Basis | Applicable Processing Activities |
|---|---|
| Contractual Necessity | Account registration and management; processing deposits, withdrawals and wagers; providing customer support; administering the loyalty programme. |
| Legal Obligation | KYC and AML identity verification; transaction monitoring for financial crime; age verification; compliance with applicable gambling regulations; tax and audit record keeping. |
| Legitimate Interests | Platform security and fraud prevention; abuse detection; technical performance monitoring; internal analytics to improve the platform; responsible gambling pattern analysis. |
| Consent | Marketing communications (email, SMS) where you have expressly opted in; non-essential cookies and tracking technologies; processing of special category data beyond mandatory regulatory requirements. |
How We Process Your Data
ok37 uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:
- Account Management: Creating, verifying and maintaining your ok37 account; authenticating your identity at login; managing your account settings and security preferences.
- Service Delivery: Processing deposits and withdrawals; settling wagers; managing bonus credits and loyalty tier status; providing personalised account dashboards in PKR.
- KYC & AML Compliance: Verifying your identity and age; conducting ongoing transaction monitoring to detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and fraud.
- Responsible Gambling: Monitoring gambling behaviour patterns for indicators of potential harm; administering self-exclusion, deposit limit and cool-off requests; complying with any jurisdiction-specific responsible gambling obligations.
- Customer Support: Responding to queries, complaints and dispute escalations received through live chat or email at [email protected].
- Platform Security: Detecting and preventing unauthorised access, account takeover, bonus abuse and technical exploitation.
- Analytics and Improvement: Analysing aggregated usage data to improve platform performance, content relevance and user experience — for example, optimising cricket and PSL market presentation for Pakistani users.
- Marketing Communications: Sending promotional messages about offers and new features, where you have provided explicit consent and not subsequently withdrawn it. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting support.
- Legal and Regulatory Obligations: Retaining records as required by applicable law; responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
ok37 does not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with third parties only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
- KYC and AML Providers: Identity verification and fraud screening services engaged to perform mandatory customer due-diligence checks. These providers act as Data Processors under binding data processing agreements.
- Payment Processors: Third-party payment service providers engaged to facilitate deposit and withdrawal transactions. Data shared is limited to what is required to process the transaction and comply with financial crime prevention obligations.
- Cloud and Hosting Infrastructure: Secure cloud service providers on whose infrastructure ok37's platform and data are hosted. These providers act under strict data processing agreements and are prohibited from accessing customer data for their own purposes.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: Where ok37 is subject to a binding legal obligation — such as a court order, regulatory disclosure requirement or lawful law enforcement request — we may disclose personal data to the relevant authority.
- Responsible Gambling Registers: Where applicable, ok37 may submit self-exclusion data to operator-mandated exclusion registers to prevent circumvention of self-exclusion through alternative platforms.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of ok37's business, personal data held by ok37 may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
No Third-Party Marketing: ok37 does not share your personal data with third-party advertisers, data brokers or marketing networks. If you receive marketing communications from ok37, they will be sent directly by ok37 to an address you have provided — never via purchased lists or data-sharing arrangements with advertisers.

Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual. Anonymised, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes without limitation.
Data Security
ok37 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or destruction. Key security measures include:
- TLS/SSL encryption — All data transmitted between your device and the ok37 platform is encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols.
- Encrypted data storage — Personal data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest. Sensitive fields (such as identity document data) are subject to additional field-level encryption.
- Access controls — Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Personnel with access to customer data are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.
- Two-factor authentication — Available to all account holders and mandatory for privileged internal administrative accounts.
- Penetration testing and vulnerability scanning — ok37's infrastructure undergoes periodic security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Incident response procedures — In the event of a personal data breach, ok37 has documented response procedures, including notification obligations to affected individuals and relevant supervisory authorities where required by law.
While ok37 employs robust security measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in protecting your data — please ensure your account password is strong, enable two-factor authentication, and report any suspected unauthorised access to our support team immediately.
Your Data Subject Rights
Subject to applicable law and the limitations described below, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by ok37:
Right of Access
You may request a copy of the personal data ok37 holds about you, along with information about how it is processed. Requests will be fulfilled within 30 days.
Right to Rectification
If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected. You may update certain data directly from your account settings.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for its original purpose, subject to overriding legal obligations (e.g., AML retention requirements).
Right to Restriction
You may request that processing of your data be temporarily restricted — for example, while the accuracy of your data is being verified or a complaint is being investigated.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you may request a structured, machine-readable copy of your data.
Right to Object
You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests at any time. You may also withdraw consent for marketing communications at any point without affecting prior lawful processing.
How to Submit a Request: To exercise any of the above rights, please contact our Data Protection team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Request" and your registered account username. We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and respond in full within 30 calendar days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.
International Data Transfers
ok37 may transfer personal data to countries outside Pakistan or outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in connection with our platform operations, including to cloud hosting providers, KYC verification services and payment processors located in various jurisdictions.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, ok37 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data to a standard at least equivalent to the protections afforded in the jurisdiction from which the data originated. Safeguards may include:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities.
- Binding corporate rules where transfers occur within a corporate group.
- Adequacy decisions recognising the destination country's data protection framework as equivalent.
- Specific consent, where no other appropriate safeguard is available and the transfer is necessary for the performance of the contract.
You may request further information about the specific safeguards in place for any particular international transfer by contacting our Data Protection team.
Minors & Age Restriction
The ok37 platform is strictly for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator license jurisdiction. ok37 does not knowingly collect, retain or process personal data belonging to individuals under the applicable minimum age.
Age verification is conducted as part of the KYC process at account registration and may be repeated at any time where ok37 has reason to believe the age restriction may not have been satisfied. If ok37 discovers that an account has been registered by a minor, the account will be immediately suspended, all associated funds will be frozen pending investigation, and personal data collected will be deleted to the extent permitted by our legal obligations.
Being 18 years of age does not, of itself, make gambling lawful in Pakistan or in any other jurisdiction. Users remain responsible for verifying the legal position in their specific location.
Policy Amendments
ok37 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations or platform functionality. Where an amendment is material — meaning it changes your rights or the way we use your personal data in a significant manner — we will provide reasonable advance notice by email to your registered address and/or by posting a prominent notice on the platform.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Minor amendments — such as clarifications, typographical corrections or updated contact details — may be made without specific notification.
Your continued use of the ok37 platform following the effective date of any amended Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. If you do not accept the revised Policy, you should close your account and cease using the platform before the amendment takes effect.
