Last updated: 25 August 2026

Probes Pakistan (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Site”) respects your privacy. This Policy explains what information we may collect on probespakistan.com and related services, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Who we are

Probes Pakistan is a bilingual (English / Urdu) digital news platform with the tagline Look Deeper. We publish news, analysis, and related content for readers in Pakistan and abroad.

2. Information we may collect

• Technical data (automatic): IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, referrer URL, and approximate timestamps — used for security, performance, and basic analytics.
• Cookies and local storage: language preference (EN/UR), theme, and session settings so the Site works correctly.
• Contact messages: if you email, call, WhatsApp, or message us on social accounts, we receive the content and contact details you send.
• Accounts / portals (if enabled): name, email, and authentication data for admin, editor, or correspondent logins.
• Comments or subscriptions (if enabled): information you voluntarily submit.

You can usually read the news without creating an account. We do not knowingly ask children for personal data.

3. How we use information

• Operate, secure, and improve the Site
• Remember language, layout, and basic preferences
• Respond to your messages
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Comply with law and enforce our terms
• Produce aggregated, non-identifying statistics where we have a legitimate interest or your consent

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use essential and functional cookies / local storage (for example language and theme). You can control cookies in your browser; blocking some may affect parts of the Site. If we add extra analytics tools later, we will update this page.

5. Third parties and service providers

We may use trusted providers to run the Site, including:

• Hosting and server infrastructure
• DNS / CDN and security layers (for example Cloudflare)
• Social platforms when you use our follow links or share buttons (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, and similar) — their own policies apply
• Cloud / AI tools used in our editorial workflow to help prepare news content (not to sell reader profiles for advertising)

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Where data is stored and how long we keep it

Servers and processors may be located in Pakistan or other countries. We keep information only as long as needed to run the Site, meet security and legal duties, or resolve disputes, then delete or anonymise it where practical.

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures. No online system is perfectly secure. Use strong passwords and do not share account credentials.

8. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may ask to:

• Access personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion (where the law allows)
• Object to or restrict certain processing (where applicable)

Contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity. Legal exceptions may apply.

9. Children

The Site is for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us data, contact us so we can delete it.
