1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by 4c444 ("we", "us", "our"), the operator of the website located at https://4c444.cam ("Platform"). This Policy applies to all personal data collected, processed and stored by 4c444 in connection with your access to and use of the Platform.

Note for Pakistani Users: Pakistan's data protection framework is evolving. We are committed to handling your personal data with care regardless of your location. If you are accessing this Platform from Pakistan, please be aware that data protection laws applicable to you may differ from those of other jurisdictions. This Platform does not constitute a gambling service and does not accept wagers or deposits.

4. How We Collect Data
4.1 Data You Provide Directly
You provide personal data to us when you register an account, complete a contact or enquiry form, subscribe to email communications, or contact our support team. Data provided in this way is collected with your knowledge and on the basis of your own voluntary action.

In limited circumstances, we may receive data about you from third-party sources, including analytics service providers, advertising partners and fraud prevention services. Such data is received and processed in accordance with this Policy and the terms of our agreements with those third parties.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis to do so. The legal bases we rely upon are as follows:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing required to fulfil our obligations under the Terms & Conditions, including operating your account and providing requested services.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, improving and securing the Platform, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. Examples include fraud prevention, analytics and internal reporting.
- Consent: Where you have given explicit consent to processing for a specific purpose — for example, receiving marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal Obligation: Processing required for compliance with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing. See Section 12 (User Rights) for further information.

7. Data Sharing & Disclosure
4c444 does not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with third parties only in the limited circumstances set out below:
7.1 Service Providers
We engage carefully selected third-party service providers (Data Processors) to perform functions on our behalf, such as web hosting, analytics, email delivery and customer support tooling. These providers process personal data solely on our instructions and under contractual obligations that meet applicable data protection standards.
7.2 Legal & Regulatory Disclosure
We may disclose personal data where required to do so by applicable law, court order or at the request of a competent regulatory or law enforcement authority. We will, where legally permissible, seek to notify you of such a disclosure.
7.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or other business restructuring involving 4c444, personal data held by us may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you prior to any such transfer becoming effective, and the receiving entity will be required to honour the terms of this Privacy Policy.
7.4 With Your Consent
Outside the circumstances described above, we will share your personal data with third parties only where we have obtained your explicit prior consent to do so.
Payment Provider Note: References on this Platform to payment services such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, BTC and USDT are for educational and contextual purposes only. 4c444 does not process payments and does not share your data with these providers. Any data shared with a payment provider occurs exclusively in connection with your direct relationship with a Third-Party Operator, not through this Platform.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, accept only certain cookies or be notified when a cookie is set. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Third-party analytics providers operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
By continuing to use the Platform without modifying your browser cookie settings, you are deemed to have consented to our use of cookies as described in this section.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention principles apply:
- Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account, plus a reasonable post-closure period to meet legal and audit obligations.
- Support Communications: Retained for up to three (3) years following resolution of the relevant enquiry, unless a longer period is required by law.
- Analytics and Usage Data: Retained in aggregated or anonymised form for up to two (2) years, or in identifiable form for up to twelve (12) months from collection.
- Legal Compliance Records: Retained for the period required by the relevant legal obligation, which may exceed the standard retention periods above.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.
10. Data Security
We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. These measures include:
- Transmission of data over encrypted HTTPS connections;
- Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis;
- Regular review of security practices and vulnerability assessments;
- Contractual obligations requiring third-party service providers to maintain appropriate security standards.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. Whilst we take the protection of your personal data seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and, where required, the relevant supervisory authority, in accordance with applicable law.
Your Responsibility: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Do not share your username or password with any third party. 4c444 will never ask you to provide your password through email or any unsecured channel.
11. International Data Transfers
4c444 operates internationally and your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the country in which you are located, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as entering into standard contractual clauses or relying on other recognised transfer mechanisms. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to such transfers as described in this Policy.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use internet filtering software and parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling-related content online.
14. Third-Party Links & Platforms
The Platform may contain references to, or information about, Third-Party Operator gambling platforms. 4c444 is not responsible for the privacy practices or data processing activities of any third-party platform. Each Third-Party Operator operates under its own privacy policy, which users are strongly encouraged to read before registering or providing any personal data.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to data collected through the 4c444 Platform (https://4c444.cam). It does not apply to data collected by third-party websites, platforms or services accessed through links or references on this Platform.

We reserve the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where reasonably practicable, provide notice to registered users through the Platform or by email prior to the changes taking effect.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you should discontinue your use of the Platform and may request deletion of your account data by contacting us as set out in Section 16.
