1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the data practices of y555 ("y555," "we," "us," "our") in relation to the y555.asia website and all associated services, mobile-optimised interfaces, and platform features (collectively, the "Platform"). It applies to all registered players, visitors, and any other individuals who interact with the y555 Platform.
y555 operates the Platform with a particular focus on the Pakistani market, serving English-speaking Pakistani players who use the Platform for cricket betting, PSL wagering, live casino, slots, and related online gaming services.

This Policy should be read in conjunction with the y555 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. In the event of conflict between this Policy and any other y555 document, this Policy governs data processing matters.

7. Data Retention
y555 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specific retention periods include:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with y555's data disposal procedures.
8. Data Security
y555 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

- Access controls limiting personal data access to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis.

Notwithstanding these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. y555 is not liable for unauthorised access resulting from actions outside its reasonable control, including compromised player devices or credentials shared by the player. Players are responsible for maintaining the security of their own y555 login credentials.
9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., language settings, last-visited game categories) to improve your Platform experience.
- Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how Pakistani players navigate and use the Platform, enabling y555 to improve features and content.
- Marketing cookies: Used where you have consented to receive personalised promotional content related to y555 products and offers.
You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some Platform features. y555 does not use cookies to track activity on third-party websites unrelated to the Platform.

If you believe a minor has registered on y555, please notify support immediately via the in-platform live chat channel.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
y555 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time.
