8.1 Service Providers

We engage trusted third-party service providers to support the operation of the Site — including web hosting infrastructure, content delivery networks (CDNs) and analytics platform providers. These providers process data on our behalf and under our instructions, and are bound by appropriate data processing agreements.

11 Security of Personal Data

288pk takes the security of personal data seriously. We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data in transit between your browser and the Site's servers.
• Access controls limiting who within our organisation can access personal data.
• Regular security reviews of our hosting infrastructure and third-party service providers.
• Minimisation of personal data collection to reduce the overall privacy risk surface.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you become aware of any security vulnerability or incident relating to this Site, please contact us immediately at the address in Section 16.

12 Children's Privacy

This Site is intended exclusively for users aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or license jurisdiction. 288pk does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor under your care has accessed this Site or submitted personal data to us, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 16. We will take prompt steps to delete any such data from our records.

13 International Data Transfers

The Site may be hosted on infrastructure located in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. If personal data is transferred to or processed in a jurisdiction outside your country of residence, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data — such as the use of service providers who adhere to recognised international data protection standards.

By using the Site, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are located. We will always handle such transfers in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.
