5. Payment Data and Financial Information

hd4 processes payment transactions exclusively in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) via certified third-party payment gateways. The following applies specifically to payment data:

• Full payment account numbers (Easypaisa wallet numbers, bank account numbers, etc.) are processed by the relevant payment provider and are not stored in full on hd4 servers. hd4 retains only anonymised transaction reference numbers and the payment method type for each transaction.
• CNIC numbers and identity documents submitted for withdrawal verification are stored in an encrypted format with restricted access. Access is limited to hd4's compliance team on a need-to-know basis.
• hd4 does not sell, rent, or trade payment or financial data to any third party for commercial purposes. Financial data is shared only with payment processing partners (Easypaisa, JazzCash, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah) as necessary to execute the transaction you have authorised, and with regulatory authorities as required by law.
• All payment pages on hd4 use SSL/TLS encryption. Users should verify the padlock icon in their browser address bar before entering any financial information.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

hd4 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform effectively. The following categories of cookies are used:

• Essential cookies: Required for the hd4 platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during an hd4 session and cookies that maintain your wallet balance display. These cannot be disabled without disrupting core platform functionality.
• Analytical cookies: Used by hd4 to understand how users interact with the platform – which pages are visited most frequently, where users encounter errors, and how long sessions typically last. Data collected via analytical cookies is aggregated and anonymised.
• Functional cookies: Used to remember user preferences such as language settings and display preferences within the hd4 platform.

You may adjust cookie preferences via your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from completing the hd4 Login process and accessing your account.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

hd4 does not sell your personal data. hd4 shares personal data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: Transaction data is shared with Easypaisa, JazzCash, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Bank Alfalah as required to process deposits and withdrawals you have initiated. Each payment provider operates under its own privacy policy and applicable financial regulations.
• Game content providers: Technical session data (session token, bet amounts, game outcomes) is shared with third-party game studios licensed by hd4, solely to deliver the game you are playing. No identity data is shared with game studios.
• Regulatory authorities: hd4 may disclose personal data to its licensing authority, law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units where required by law, court order, or regulatory demand. hd4 will notify affected users of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
• Fraud prevention services: Anonymised risk signals may be shared with third-party fraud prevention services to protect hd4 and its users from fraudulent activity.

hd4 requires all third parties with whom personal data is shared to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures and to use the data solely for the purpose for which it was disclosed.

8. Data Retention

hd4 retains personal data for the following periods:

• Active account data: Retained for the duration of your active hd4 account registration plus a minimum of five years following account closure, in compliance with international gaming licence record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction and betting records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations applicable under hd4's licensing framework.

9. Security Measures

hd4 implements the following technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and hd4 servers, including during hd4 Login and all payment transactions.
• Bcrypt hashing for all stored account passwords. Plaintext passwords are never stored.
• Encrypted storage for identity verification documents with role-based access controls limiting access to authorised compliance staff.
• Two-factor authentication available for all hd4 accounts, strongly recommended to protect your account and associated PKR wallet.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing of the hd4 platform by independent security professionals.
• Internal data access controls ensuring that hd4 staff access personal data only on a need-to-know basis relevant to their role.

Despite these measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights and freedoms, hd4 will notify affected users in accordance with applicable notification requirements.
