8. Data Sharing & Disclosure

qk33 does not sell or rent your Personal Data. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

8.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

We share data with trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf under binding data processing agreements. These include: identity verification providers, payment processing partners, fraud detection services, cloud hosting providers, analytics platforms and customer support software providers. All processors are contractually obligated to process data only for specified purposes and to maintain appropriate security standards.

8.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

We may disclose Personal Data where required by applicable law, court order, regulatory authority or governmental request. In such cases, we will endeavour to notify affected users where legally permitted to do so.

8.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or corporate restructuring involving qk33, Personal Data may be transferred as part of the transaction. Affected users will be notified in advance of any such transfer where reasonably practicable.

8.4 Protection of Rights

We may disclose data where necessary to protect the safety, rights or property of qk33, its users or the public — including in connection with investigations of fraud, abuse or security incidents.

9. Third-Party Services & Links

The qk33 platform may reference third-party payment providers — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — as familiar contextual payment references for Pakistani users. These references do not constitute a data-sharing relationship. If you initiate a transaction through a third-party payment gateway, your data is handled by that provider under their own privacy terms and policies, over which qk33 has no control.

qk33 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party service provider or linked platform. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party service they engage with independently.

10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

qk33 uses cookies and similar technologies (including web beacons, pixel tags and local storage) to operate and improve the platform. The categories of cookies we use are as follows:

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, qk33 will request that consent at the time of your first visit.

11. International Data Transfers

qk33 may transfer your Personal Data to servers or service providers located outside Pakistan, including in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where such transfers occur, qk33 implements appropriate safeguards — such as contractual data protection clauses — to ensure that your data remains protected to a standard consistent with this Policy.

By using qk33 and providing your Personal Data, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred internationally in accordance with this clause.

12. Data Retention

qk33 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. The following general retention principles apply:

• Account data — retained for the duration of your active account relationship with qk33, plus a post-closure period as required by applicable AML and financial record-keeping regulations (typically five to seven years);
• KYC documentation — retained for the period required by anti-money laundering obligations applicable to the operator's license jurisdiction;
• Transaction records — retained in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements;
• Support communications — retained for a reasonable period sufficient to resolve disputes and improve service quality, typically two years from the last interaction;
• Marketing preferences — retained until consent is withdrawn, after which preferences are updated within a reasonable operational timeframe.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

13. Data Security

qk33 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your Personal Data, including:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser and qk33 servers;
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including passwords (stored as cryptographic hashes — never in plain text);
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring;
• Incident response procedures for detecting and responding to data breaches;
• Staff training on data protection and information security obligations.

While qk33 takes reasonable steps to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, qk33 will notify affected users and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

14. Your Data Rights

Subject to applicable law, you hold the following rights with respect to your Personal Data held by qk33. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details in Section 18.
