9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

9.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember user preferences and to provide website operators with analytics information.

9.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Website to function. These cannot be disabled without impairing core functionality.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users interact with the Website — such as pages visited and session duration — to help us improve Content quality.
• Preference cookies: Used to remember your settings and preferences (such as cookie consent choices) so you are not asked repeatedly.

9.3 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings or through any cookie consent mechanism displayed on the Website. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the Website. Most modern browsers — including those commonly used in Pakistan on Android and iOS devices — provide options to view, manage and delete cookies in the browser settings menu.

10. Data Retention

bpaxch 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. Our general retention guidelines are as follows:

• Technical and usage data (analytics): Retained in aggregated or anonymised form for ongoing site improvement purposes. Individual-level data is typically retained for no longer than 26 months from collection.
• Server log data: Retained for a short operational period (typically 30–90 days) unless required for longer retention for security or legal purposes.
• Correspondence data: Retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes, typically no longer than 12 months.
• Cookie data: Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire in accordance with their individual expiry settings, typically between 30 days and 24 months.

When personal data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise rendered inaccessible.

11. Data Security

bpaxch implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and the Website;
• Access controls limiting personal data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of security practices and web infrastructure configurations;
• Use of reputable hosting and infrastructure providers with established security standards.

While we take reasonable precautions to protect personal data, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and users should take their own precautions when transmitting information online, including using up-to-date browsers and maintaining secure device settings.

12. Your Rights

Depending on applicable data protection law in your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by bpaxch. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe.

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact us using the details in Section 17. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will not charge a fee for handling rights requests unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

13. Children's Privacy

The Website is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the operator or license jurisdiction applicable to the User. bpaxch does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 18 years of age without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that data as promptly as possible. If you believe that a minor has submitted personal data to bpaxch, please contact us immediately at the address provided in Section 17.

14. International Data Transfers

The Website is accessible globally, and technical infrastructure supporting the Website may be hosted in data centres located outside Pakistan. As a result, personal data collected through the Website may be transferred to, stored in or processed in countries other than Pakistan.

Where such international transfers occur, bpaxch takes reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, consistent with the principles set out in this Policy. By using the Website, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in this manner.

15. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain references to or contextual mentions of third-party platforms, payment providers and services — including, for contextual purposes only, names such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah. These mentions are strictly for educational context and do not constitute endorsements or partnerships.

bpaxch is not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie policies, data handling or security measures of any third-party website or service. If you access any third-party platform — including a gambling operator's website — their own privacy policy will govern the collection and use of your personal data, not this Policy. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policy of any third-party platform before providing personal data or registering an account.

16. Changes to This Policy

bpaxch reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.

Your continued use of the Website following the publication of a revised Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you should discontinue use of the Website.
