Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how dcc6 ("dcc6", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores and protects personal information in connection with your use of the website accessible at https://dcc6.cam ("Platform", "Website").

dcc6 is an English-language online gaming information and guide platform serving Pakistani users and others interested in educational content relating to online sports betting, live casino games and responsible gambling. dcc6 is not a gambling operator and does not collect payment card details, process wagers or maintain gambling account records.

By accessing or using the dcc6 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Platform.

This Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions, which govern your general use of the Platform.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following definitions apply:

• "Personal Data" — any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("Data Subject"), including but not limited to name, email address, IP address and device identifiers.
• "Processing" — any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, restriction and deletion.
• "Data Controller" — dcc6, the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data on the Platform.
• "Data Processor" — any third-party service provider that processes Personal Data on behalf of dcc6 under a contractual arrangement.
• "User" / "you" — any natural person who accesses or uses the dcc6 Platform.
• "Cookies" — small text files placed on your device by the Platform to facilitate analytics, functionality and session management.
• "Analytics Data" — aggregated, non-personally-identifying information about how Users interact with the Platform, used solely for improving Platform performance and content.

dcc6 collects a limited and proportionate set of data categories depending on how you interact with the Platform. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, gambling history, national identity numbers or health data.

3.1 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit the Platform, our servers and analytics tools may automatically record the following technical data:

3.2 Data Provided Voluntarily

If you contact dcc6 via the support email address or any future contact mechanism made available on the Platform, we may collect:

• Your email address (as provided in your message);
• Your name (if included in your correspondence);
• The content of your message or enquiry.

We do not currently operate an account registration system. If this changes, this Policy will be updated accordingly and the updated version will be published on the Platform prior to any such change taking effect.

dcc6 uses the data it collects solely for the following purposes:

4.1 Operating and Improving the Platform

Technical and analytics data is used to understand how Users interact with the Platform, identify content gaps, improve page load performance and ensure the Platform displays correctly across devices — including the mobile devices most commonly used by our Pakistani audience.

4.2 Responding to Enquiries

Where you contact us voluntarily, we use the contact information and message content you provide solely to respond to your specific enquiry. We do not use such data for marketing purposes without your express consent.

4.3 Security and Abuse Prevention

IP address and session data may be used to detect and prevent automated abuse, scraping, denial-of-service attempts and other security threats to the Platform's integrity.

4.4 Legal Compliance

We may process or disclose data where required to do so by applicable law, court order or the legitimate request of a competent authority, to the extent required and in the manner required by such law or order.

dcc6 processes Personal Data on the following legal bases, as applicable to the jurisdiction of the Data Subject:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing of technical and analytics data is carried out on the basis of dcc6's legitimate interests in maintaining a secure, functional and improving informational platform, provided that such interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of Data Subjects.
• Consent: Where cookies or analytics tools require your consent under applicable law, we will seek that consent through appropriate mechanisms before placing non-essential tracking technologies.
• Contract Performance: Where you submit a voluntary enquiry to dcc6, processing your contact data is necessary to respond to and fulfil that request.
• Legal Obligation: Where applicable law requires us to retain or disclose certain data, we process it on the basis of legal obligation compliance.

dcc6 uses cookies and similar technologies to support the Platform's operation and to gather aggregated analytics data. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or individual-level profiling.

6.1 Cookie Categories

6.2 Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can typically configure your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies or alert you when cookies are being placed. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impair the functionality of certain Platform features.

Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. Consult the help documentation for your specific browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) for guidance on cookie management.

dcc6 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise commercially exploit Personal Data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

7.1 Service Providers

We may engage third-party service providers to assist with platform hosting, analytics, security and technical maintenance. Such providers act as Data Processors and are permitted to use your data only as instructed by dcc6, for the specific purpose for which they were engaged, and subject to appropriate contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

7.2 Analytics Platforms

dcc6 may use industry-standard web analytics tools to collect aggregated and anonymised usage statistics. These tools may set cookies on your device as described in Section 6. Aggregated analytics data does not identify you as an individual.

7.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose Personal Data to competent authorities or courts if required to do so by applicable law, enforceable legal process, or to protect the rights, property or safety of dcc6, its users or the public. Any such disclosure will be limited to the minimum data required by the applicable legal obligation.

7.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or a portion of dcc6's assets, Personal Data held by dcc6 may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such an event, dcc6 will notify affected users through the Platform prior to Personal Data being transferred or becoming subject to a different privacy policy.

dcc6 retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention approach is as follows:

• Technical and analytics data (IP addresses, session data): retained in aggregated form for up to 26 months for trend analysis, after which it is anonymised or deleted;
• Contact enquiry data (email, name, message content): retained for up to 12 months following resolution of the enquiry, or as required to address any subsequent follow-up, after which it is securely deleted;
• Cookie data: session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent analytics cookies expire in accordance with the applicable cookie duration, typically between 30 days and 13 months depending on the analytics tool used.

Where data is no longer required for its stated purpose and no legal obligation requires its retention, dcc6 will delete or anonymise it using secure deletion methods.

dcc6 implements technical and organisational security measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and the Platform;
• Access controls limiting Personal Data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of data handling practices and security configurations;
• Contractual security obligations imposed on all third-party Data Processors.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we apply commercially reasonable measures, dcc6 cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. You use the Platform and share any information at your own risk.

If you become aware of any actual or suspected security vulnerability relating to the Platform, please notify us immediately at the contact address in Section 15.

Depending on your jurisdiction and the applicable data protection framework, you may hold some or all of the following rights in respect of Personal Data we hold about you:

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the details in Section 15. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

Please note that some rights may be subject to limitations or exemptions under applicable law. Where we are unable to fulfil a request in full, we will explain the reason.

The dcc6 Platform is intended strictly for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by any applicable operator or license jurisdiction. dcc6 does not knowingly collect, process or retain Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided Personal Data to dcc6, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 15.

The dcc6 Platform may reference or describe third-party online gambling operators, platforms and services within its informational content. Such references are provided for educational context only.

dcc6 does not control the privacy practices of any third-party operator or service. If you navigate to a third-party website — whether by manually typing an address you encountered on dcc6 or by any other means — you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to that third party's own privacy policy and terms of service.

dcc6 accepts no responsibility or liability for the data processing practices of any third party. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of any gambling operator or external service before providing personal data to them.

dcc6 serves users across Pakistan, including major cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. Pakistani data protection law is an evolving area. The Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB) has been under legislative consideration in Pakistan. Users should be aware that data protection rights available under international frameworks may not yet have full equivalent statutory application in Pakistan.

Regardless of the applicable legal minimum, dcc6 is committed to processing your data transparently, minimally and securely as a matter of platform policy. We do not share data with Pakistani government authorities unless legally compelled to do so through a formal and lawful process.

dcc6 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or Platform functionality. When we do so, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Material changes to this Policy — such as changes to the categories of data we collect, new data sharing arrangements, or changes to user rights — will be communicated through a notice on the Platform prior to taking effect, where reasonably practicable.

Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with an updated Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform.

We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically to remain informed about how dcc6 handles your data.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your Personal Data by dcc6, you may contact us using the details below. We will make every reasonable effort to respond to data-related requests within 30 calendar days.
