All third parties with whom we share data are required to maintain appropriate security measures and use your information only for the purposes specified in their agreements with us. We conduct due diligence on service providers before sharing any personal data and require them to handle your information in accordance with data protection standards.

In the event of a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner. You will be notified of any such change in ownership and how it affects your data.

5. Data Security

HT555 takes the security of your personal information seriously and implements industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols. Passwords are encrypted using secure hashing algorithms and are never stored in plain text.
• Secure Payment Processing: All PKR transactions through JazzCash, Easypaisa, and other payment methods are processed via secure, encrypted channels. We do not store full card details on our servers.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their duties. All staff with data access undergo security training and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• System Monitoring: We monitor our systems continuously for security threats, unusual activity, and potential breaches. Automated alerts notify our security team of suspicious behaviour.
• Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Account Security Features: Two-factor authentication, login notifications, and session timeout features help protect your account from unauthorised access.

While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and should not share your username or password with anyone. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact our support team immediately via live chat or email.

We recommend using a strong, unique password for your HT555 account and enabling any available security features. Never access your account from shared or public devices, and always log out after your session.

6. Data Retention

HT555 retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• Active Accounts: While your account remains active, we retain all account information, transaction history, gaming activity, and communications to operate your account and provide services.
• Closed Accounts: After you close your account, we retain certain information for a period of up to seven years to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain records required for regulatory or tax purposes.
