• Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including KYC, AML, and responsible gaming requirements.

5. Data Sharing with Third Parties

q555 does not sell your personal data to third parties. q555 may share your personal data with third parties in the following limited circumstances:

• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the q555 business, personal data held by q555 may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

All third parties with whom q555 shares personal data are required to handle that data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than the specific purpose for which it was shared.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The q555 Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, maintain session state, and collect usage analytics. The categories of cookies used include:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly, including session management, login state persistence, and security features. These cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users interact with the q555 Platform, including which pages are visited most frequently, session duration, and navigation paths. This information helps q555 improve the Platform.
• Preference Cookies: Used to remember your language, currency display, and other user preferences across sessions.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the q555 Platform. The q555 Android APK uses equivalent local storage mechanisms in place of browser cookies.

7. Data Retention

q555 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or for as long as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations, whichever is longer.

• Account and identity data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with standard AML and KYC record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the relevant transaction.
• Communications data, including support correspondence, is retained for a minimum of two (2) years.
• Anonymised and aggregated usage analytics data may be retained indefinitely for Platform improvement purposes.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with q555's internal data disposal procedures.

8. Data Security

q555 implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and q555 servers.
• Hashed storage of passwords — plain-text passwords are never stored on q555 systems.
• Access controls limiting employee access to personal data to those with a legitimate business need.
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing of Platform infrastructure.
• Device verification prompts for logins from unrecognised devices or unusual locations.

While q555 takes all reasonable precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Users are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords for their q555 accounts and to avoid logging in on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks, particularly when accessing their PKR wallet or processing withdrawals.

9. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by q555:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data q555 holds about you.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by q555.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to q555's legal retention obligations.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that q555 restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data where q555 relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where q555 relies on your consent for processing (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact q555 support. q555 will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

10. Children's Privacy

The q555 Platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and above. q555 does not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If q555 becomes aware that personal data has been submitted by or on behalf of a person under 18 years of age, that account will be closed immediately and all associated data will be deleted without retention.

If you believe a minor has registered an account on the q555 Platform, please notify q555 support immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.

11. International Data Transfers

q555 operates as an international Platform and your personal data may be processed and stored on servers located outside of Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, q555 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect that data to a standard equivalent to the protections described in this Privacy Policy.

By using the q555 Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to jurisdictions outside Pakistan for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

q555 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where changes are material, q555 will endeavour to notify registered users via the contact details held on their account. The updated Privacy Policy will be published at q555.club/privacy-policy with a revised "Last Updated" date.

Your continued use of the q555 Platform following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not accept the updated Privacy Policy, you should cease using the Platform and may request account closure.
