This Privacy Policy explains how k1177 collects, uses, stores, shares and protects your personal data when you access or use our online gaming information and entertainment platform. Your privacy matters to us — please read this document carefully.
These cards summarise the key principles of how k1177 handles your personal data. They do not replace the full policy — please read all sections below.
k1177 applies industry-standard encryption and technical security controls to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure or misuse. Your account credentials are never stored in plain text.
k1177 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Data sharing is limited to service providers operating under strict contractual obligations.
You have the right to access, correct, delete and restrict processing of your personal data. Requests are handled within the timeframes required by applicable data-protection law.
We collect only the data necessary for the legitimate operation of the Platform — account management, security, regulatory compliance and service improvement. We do not collect data we do not need.
Cookies and similar tracking technologies are used only for functional, analytical and (with your consent) marketing purposes. Our Cookie Policy section explains exactly what is set and why.
For any privacy-related request — data access, deletion, correction or complaint — contact us directly at [email protected] (plain text only — not a clickable link). We respond to all data requests promptly.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by k1177 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform"), the operator of the online gaming information and entertainment platform accessible at https://k1177.cam. It sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be collected, used, stored, shared and protected.
k1177 is an English-language platform targeting adult users in Pakistan and permitted jurisdictions. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all users and handling personal data in accordance with applicable data-protection legislation in the jurisdiction in which we operate.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall use of the Platform. By accessing or using the k1177 Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the data-processing activities described herein to the extent that consent is the applicable legal basis. Where consent is required and you do not consent, you should not access the Platform.
Note for Pakistani Users: Pakistan has its own data-protection and privacy framework, including developing regulation under relevant Pakistani law. k1177 does not provide legal advice. If you have specific concerns about data-protection rights applicable in Pakistan, you should seek independent legal guidance.
The following terms carry the meanings assigned below when used with initial capitalisation in this Policy:
k1177 is the Data Controller responsible for personal data collected through the Platform. As Data Controller, k1177 is responsible for implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data and to ensure that processing activities comply with applicable data-protection law.
For all data-related enquiries, requests and complaints, the Data Controller can be contacted at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). Where k1177 engages third-party Data Processors to perform services on its behalf — such as cloud hosting, payment processing technology, analytics platforms or identity-verification services — those processors are required to handle personal data only in accordance with k1177's instructions and applicable data-protection law.
k1177 does not share responsibility for data processing with any co-controller in respect of the activities described in this Policy unless explicitly stated. If you interact with a third-party platform linked from k1177, that third party operates as an independent data controller under its own privacy policy.
When you register an Account, use Platform features or contact our support team, you may provide the following categories of personal data:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, CNIC number (for Pakistani users), passport number | Account registration, KYC verification, age verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile phone number, city/province of residence | Account communication, support, notifications |
| Financial Data | Payment method references (e.g., mobile wallet identifier, partial bank account details), transaction history | Deposit/withdrawal processing, AML/CFT compliance |
| Authentication Data | Username, hashed password, 2FA tokens | Account security and access control |
| KYC Documents | Government-issued ID scan, proof-of-address document, source-of-funds documentation | Regulatory compliance, fraud prevention |
| Support Communications | Content of live-chat transcripts, email correspondence, complaint records | Support delivery, dispute resolution, quality assurance |
When you access the Platform, we automatically collect technical and usage data, including:
k1177 does not intentionally collect Special Category Data (health, political opinions, religious beliefs, etc.) unless it is strictly necessary for regulatory compliance and you have provided explicit consent. We do not collect biometric data for identification purposes beyond what may be required by an operator's mandatory KYC process. If you believe we have inadvertently collected Special Category Data, please contact [email protected] (plain text) immediately.
k1177 processes your personal data for the following purposes:
Your identity, contact and authentication data are used to create and manage your Account, authenticate your sessions, communicate account-related information and deliver the features and content of the Platform to you.
We are required by applicable regulatory obligations to verify your identity before allowing certain account actions — including withdrawals and high-value transactions. Identity, financial and KYC-document data are processed for this purpose. Records of verification and transaction history are retained in accordance with applicable AML/CFT requirements.
Technical data including IP addresses, device identifiers, session data and login records are processed to detect and prevent unauthorised access, account takeover attempts, multi-accounting, money laundering and other fraudulent or abusive activity. This processing is in our legitimate interest and may also be required by applicable law.
Transaction history, session-time data and account-activity patterns may be used to monitor for signs of problem-gambling behaviour and to apply responsible-gambling tools (deposit limits, self-exclusion) in accordance with both operator policy and user-activated preferences.
Anonymised or aggregated usage data is processed to analyse Platform performance, understand user behaviour, identify technical issues and improve the overall user experience. Where analytics involve identifiable personal data, appropriate safeguards are applied.
Where you have provided explicit consent, we may use your contact data to send promotional communications about Platform features, bonuses and relevant gaming content. You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your Account settings or by contacting [email protected] (plain text). Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Personal data may be processed in connection with legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, enforcement of our Terms & Conditions, or the resolution of disputes. Such processing is based on our legal obligations or legitimate interests in protecting our rights.
k1177 processes personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, as applicable to the specific processing activity:
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, k1177 has assessed that those interests are not outweighed by your fundamental rights and freedoms. You may request further information about this balancing assessment by contacting [email protected] (plain text).
k1177 engages trusted third-party service providers to assist in delivering the Platform. These providers process personal data only on our instructions and under contractual obligations that include appropriate data-protection safeguards. Categories of service providers include:
k1177 may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law-enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units or judicial bodies where required by applicable law, court order or regulatory direction. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required and, where legally permissible, you will be notified.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of k1177's business, personal data held by the Platform may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, k1177 will notify affected users in advance and take reasonable steps to ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by equivalent data-protection obligations.
k1177 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial benefit. Payment-provider names referenced on the Platform — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — are informational references only; k1177 does not share your personal data with these providers unless you independently transact with them through a payment interface they operate.
If you choose to interact with any third-party payment service, game studio or linked platform, your data sharing with that third party is governed by their own privacy policy — not this Policy. k1177 is not responsible for third-party data-handling practices.
k1177 operates in the jurisdiction in which it holds its gaming licence, which may differ from the jurisdiction in which you are located. Your personal data may therefore be transferred to and processed in countries outside your jurisdiction of residence, including countries that may have different data-protection standards.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, k1177 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, which may include:
For users in Pakistan: k1177 acknowledges that the transfer of personal data outside Pakistan is subject to applicable Pakistani data-protection requirements. Where such requirements apply, k1177 takes reasonable steps to ensure compliance. This is not legal advice — users with specific transfer-related concerns should seek independent legal guidance.
k1177 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. The following retention principles apply:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with k1177's data-disposal procedures.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, store your preferences and track certain interactions. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags and local storage objects.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or through the cookie-preference centre available on the Platform. Note that disabling certain cookies may impair Platform functionality. Your browser can typically be configured to refuse cookies entirely, but this may prevent you from logging in or using certain features.
On mobile devices — including Android and iOS phones commonly used across Pakistan — cookie settings are managed through your browser application (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) or, for app-based access, within the app's privacy settings. Refer to your browser or device documentation for specific instructions.
Subject to applicable data-protection law and any overriding legal obligations (such as AML/CFT retention requirements), you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data held by k1177:
You may request a copy of the personal data k1177 holds about you, together with information about how it is being used (a "Subject Access Request" or "SAR").
You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you. You can update many details directly through your Account settings.
In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten"). This right is subject to overriding legal retention obligations, particularly under AML/CFT law.
You may request that k1177 restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of the data is being verified following a rectification request.
Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for direct-marketing purposes. k1177 will cease such processing unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal date.
Where k1177 makes decisions affecting you solely through automated processing — including profiling — you have the right to request human review and to contest the decision.
To exercise any of the above rights, submit your request in writing to [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link), specifying the nature of your request and providing sufficient information to verify your identity. k1177 will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law — typically one month, with the possibility of extension for complex requests.
No Fee Policy: k1177 does not charge a fee for responding to data rights requests unless the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, in which case a reasonable administrative fee may apply. You will be informed of any applicable fee before processing is undertaken.
The k1177 Platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's license jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a minor, that data will be deleted immediately and the associated Account will be permanently closed.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal data to k1177, please contact us immediately at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay.
The minimum age requirement (18+ or higher) does not imply that gambling is lawful for all adults in Pakistan. Users must independently confirm that their participation complies with applicable local law. k1177 does not provide legal advice on this matter.
k1177 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include, but are not limited to:
Despite these measures, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. k1177 cannot guarantee absolute security of personal data. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials — do not share your password with anyone, and contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your Account.
k1177 serves adult users across Pakistan, including those in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. Pakistani users should be aware of the following specific points relating to privacy:
This section does not constitute legal advice. For specific questions about data-protection rights under Pakistani law, consult a qualified legal professional in Pakistan.
The k1177 Platform may contain references to or contextual information about third-party services, operators, payment providers and game studios. These references are informational only and do not constitute endorsement. If you navigate to any third-party platform — whether through a link, redirect or independent action — your interactions with that platform are governed by that platform's own privacy policy and terms.
k1177 is not responsible for the privacy practices, data-security standards or content of any third-party platform. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing your personal data.
k1177 reserves the right to update, amend or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data-processing practices, legal obligations, regulatory requirements or Platform operations. The revised Policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how your personal data is processed or your data-protection rights — k1177 will notify registered users by email or through a prominent Platform notice prior to the changes taking effect. For non-material updates, continued use of the Platform following publication constitutes acceptance.
We encourage all users to review this Policy periodically. If you disagree with any revision, you should cease using the Platform and request Account closure in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Terms & Conditions.
