All third-party data processors are bound by appropriate data processing agreements that restrict their use of personal data to the specific purposes for which it was shared.
We may disclose personal data to competent authorities, courts or regulators where we are required to do so by applicable law, court order or lawful regulatory request. We will notify affected users of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or other corporate restructuring, personal data held by 3patta may be transferred to a successor entity as part of that transaction. We will notify users by posting a prominent notice on the Platform before any such transfer takes effect and before personal data becomes subject to different privacy practices.

You may manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect Platform functionality. You can find browser-specific guidance in your browser's help documentation.
Withdrawing consent for analytics or functional cookies does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
We retain personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. Our general retention principles are as follows:
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, anonymised or pseudonymised in accordance with our data-disposal procedures.
Depending on applicable data protection law and your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data. We respect these rights and will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe (typically 30 days, or as otherwise required by law).
Request confirmation of whether we process personal data about you and obtain a copy of that data.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent.
Request that we limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances, for example while the accuracy of data is being contested.
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, request receipt of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests where you have grounds relating to your particular situation. You may also object to direct marketing at any time.
Where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing, withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Not to be subject to solely automated decisions that produce significant legal effects, without the opportunity for human review.

3patta implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. Our security measures include:
Notwithstanding these measures, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Platform at your own risk.
The Platform is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator licensing jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the applicable minimum age.
If we become aware that personal data has been submitted by or on behalf of a person who does not meet the minimum age requirement, we will promptly delete that data and close any associated account. If you have reason to believe that a minor has submitted personal data through the Platform, please contact us immediately using the details in Clause 15.
We encourage parents and guardians to use available parental-control tools to restrict minors' access to gambling-related content online. For guidance on parental controls, consult your internet service provider or device manufacturer's documentation.
3patta may transfer personal data to, or process it in, countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Such transfers may occur when we engage cloud infrastructure providers, analytics services or identity verification partners who operate globally.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure the data remains protected to a standard consistent with this Privacy Policy. Safeguards may include:
You may request information about the specific safeguards applicable to any international transfer of your personal data by contacting us as described in Clause 15.
3patta serves a significant number of users based in Pakistan, including readers from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. We recognise the importance of addressing Pakistan-specific data protection and legal context.
Pakistan's data protection framework continues to evolve. Relevant legislation includes the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 (PECA), which governs certain aspects of data use and electronic privacy in Pakistan. We endeavour to handle Pakistani users' personal data in a manner consistent with applicable Pakistani law where it can be determined to apply.
This Privacy Policy does not constitute legal advice regarding Pakistani data protection law. If you have specific legal concerns about how your data is handled under Pakistani law, we recommend consulting a qualified legal professional.
Where the Platform references Pakistani payment services — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah — these references are provided as familiar local payment context only. 3patta does not directly collect, store or process financial account credentials for these payment services. Any payment data processed in connection with transactions conducted on linked third-party Operator platforms is governed by those Operators' own privacy policies and the applicable payment provider's terms of service.
3patta is not licensed, approved or endorsed by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan, any provincial authority or any Pakistani financial institution. This Privacy Policy is not a representation of compliance with any specific Pakistani regulatory approval.
The Platform may contain references to or contextual information about third-party services, including online casino Operators, sports leagues (such as PSL, ICC tournaments) and payment providers. These references are provided for informational context only and do not constitute links to external websites in the sense that no third-party URLs are embedded as clickable links on the Platform.
Where the Platform does contain links to external content, 3patta has no control over the privacy practices of those third-party services and is not responsible for their content, terms or privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal data to them.
3patta reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements or Platform features. When material changes are made:
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any material change, you may close your account as described in our Terms & Conditions.
