Privacy Policy

Saving.com.pk respects the privacy of its visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Saving.com.pk, why it may be used, which third-party services may process information, and what choices you have.

Saving.com.pk is primarily an information and utility website for Pakistan Prize Bond users. Visitors can browse Prize Bond results, check historical winning numbers, view draw schedules and read practical guides without creating a user account.

We try to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate, secure, measure and improve the website.

Saving.com.pk is an independent website. It is not operated by National Savings, the State Bank of Pakistan, SBP Banking Services Corporation, FBR or the Government of Pakistan.

Information You Provide to Saving.com.pk

Most visitors can use Saving.com.pk without directly providing personal information.

You may provide information voluntarily when you:

• submit the Contact Us form;
• report an incorrect Prize Bond result;
• report a technical problem;
• send editorial feedback;
• ask a question;
• communicate with us about advertising or another legitimate website matter.

Depending on what you submit, this information may include:

• your name;
• email address;
• subject of your message;
• message content;
• Saving.com.pk page URL;
• Prize Bond denomination;
• draw number;
• Prize Bond number when relevant to an error report;
• technical information you choose to provide.

Please provide only information that is necessary for your request.

Please Do Not Send Sensitive Banking Information

Saving.com.pk does not need your banking password, ATM PIN or OTP to investigate a website problem or Prize Bond result issue.

Please do not send through our contact form:

• online banking passwords;
• mobile banking passwords;
• ATM PINs;
• one-time passwords or OTPs;
• card PINs;
• debit or credit card security codes;
• complete payment-card information;
• unnecessary copies of CNICs;
• unnecessary bank statements;
• other confidential authentication credentials.

If you are reporting a result error, details such as the Prize Bond denomination, draw number, winning number and official result source are normally sufficient.

Saving.com.pk does not process government Prize Bond claims and therefore does not need the documents that an official claim office may require.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, some technical information may be recorded automatically when you visit Saving.com.pk.

This can include information such as:

• IP address;
• browser type;
• device type;
• operating system;
• referring page or website;
• pages visited;
• date and approximate time of visits;
• general interaction with website pages;
• technical errors;
• approximate geographic information derived from an IP address.

This information may be processed through web hosting, security, analytics, advertising or WordPress-related services.

We generally use this type of information to understand how the website is being used, maintain security and identify technical problems.

Prize Bond Searches

Saving.com.pk provides tools such as Power Search for checking Prize Bond numbers against available historical winning records.

A Prize Bond number is used by the tool as a search value.

You should not treat the Power Search box as a place to submit:

• your CNIC;
• bank account number;
• phone number;
• password;
• OTP;
• other personal financial information.

Enter only the Prize Bond number or other information specifically requested by the checker.

Where technical logs are created as part of normal website operation, they may contain information such as an IP address, browser information or request details. Such logs are used for technical, security or operational purposes.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Saving.com.pk may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small data files that a website or third-party service may store in your browser.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• essential website functionality;
• security;
• remembering preferences;
• website analytics;
• traffic measurement;
• advertising;
• fraud prevention;
• consent management.

Some cookies may be placed by Saving.com.pk or WordPress, while others may be placed by services used on the site.

For more detail, read our Cookie Policy.

Jetpack Stats

Saving.com.pk uses Jetpack Stats to understand general website usage.

Analytics information can help us understand:

• which pages receive traffic;
• which Prize Bond denominations visitors are interested in;
• which result pages are frequently viewed;
• how visitors arrive at Saving.com.pk;
• general traffic and usage trends.

Jetpack is a service associated with Automattic. Jetpack’s own privacy documentation explains how information may be processed when its services are used.

Saving.com.pk uses statistics to improve the website rather than to determine whether a particular Prize Bond number will win.

Analytics data has no influence on Prize Bond balloting or official results.

Advertising

Saving.com.pk may display advertising, including advertisements supplied through Google AdSense.

Advertising services may process information such as:

• cookies;
• device identifiers;
• IP address;
• browser information;
• advertising interactions;
• general page context;
• approximate location;
• consent or advertising preferences.

Depending on your location, consent choices and advertising settings, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Google and other advertising providers operate under their own privacy policies and technology settings.

Saving.com.pk does not determine every advertisement that a third-party advertising platform may display.

Advertising Does Not Influence Our Editorial Content

Advertising is kept separate from Saving.com.pk’s Prize Bond result and editorial processes.

An advertiser cannot pay Saving.com.pk to:

• change a winning number;
• alter a verified draw result;
• present a prediction as an official result;
• hide a confirmed factual error;
• change an official-source reference;
• guarantee a Prize Bond win.

Our approach to advertising and editorial independence is further explained in the Editorial Policy.

Contact Forms

If you send a message through the Saving.com.pk contact form, the information you provide may be stored so that we can:

• read your message;
• investigate a reported error;
• respond where appropriate;
• prevent abuse or spam;
• keep a reasonable record of important correction reports;
• identify repeated technical problems.

Messages may also be processed by the website hosting environment, WordPress plugins or anti-spam/security services used to operate the form.

Do not include information that is unrelated to your request.

Server and Security Logs

Our web host, security tools or WordPress installation may maintain technical logs.

These logs can contain information such as:

• IP address;
• requested URL;
• browser information;
• date and time;
• server response;
• security events;
• failed requests.

Logs can help detect:

• automated attacks;
• malicious traffic;
• spam;
• unauthorized access attempts;
• plugin errors;
• broken website functions.

We use technical information for legitimate website operation and security rather than to identify ordinary Prize Bond visitors unnecessarily.

Third-Party Services

Saving.com.pk may depend on third-party services to operate parts of the website.

These may include providers for:

• website hosting;
• WordPress functionality;
• website statistics;
• advertising;
• security;
• spam protection;
• email delivery;
• forms.

A third-party service may process information according to its own privacy policy.

The exact services used by Saving.com.pk may change when the site’s hosting, plugins or technical requirements change.

Where a third-party service materially affects visitor privacy, this Privacy Policy or the Cookie Policy may be updated accordingly.

External Links

Saving.com.pk regularly links to official sources such as:

• National Savings;
• SBP/SBP BSC;
• FBR.

We may also link to other relevant external websites.

Once you leave Saving.com.pk, the privacy policy of the destination website applies.

Saving.com.pk does not control:

• external website cookies;
• third-party data collection;
• external security practices;
• how another website stores your information.

Always review the privacy information of an external service when appropriate.

Official Government Websites

Saving.com.pk often directs visitors to official government sources for final confirmation of Prize Bond claims, tax rules, forms and procedures.

Visiting an official government website takes you outside Saving.com.pk.

Information you submit directly to National Savings, SBP/SBP BSC, FBR or another government authority is handled under that authority’s own systems and privacy practices.

Saving.com.pk does not receive your official Prize Bond claim simply because you followed a link from our website.

How We Use Information

Information collected through Saving.com.pk may be used to:

• provide requested website functions;
• respond to contact messages;
• investigate reported result errors;
• correct inaccurate information;
• maintain Prize Bond search tools;
• understand general website usage;
• improve navigation and usability;
• protect the website against abuse;
• diagnose technical problems;
• maintain website security;
• measure advertising performance;
• comply with applicable legal obligations;
• protect the rights and security of the website and its users.

We do not need to know a visitor’s identity simply to show an Rs.750 result or a Prize Bond draw schedule.

How We Do Not Use Prize Bond Numbers

A number entered into a Prize Bond checker should not be interpreted as a request for financial advice or a prediction.

Saving.com.pk does not use the number you search to:

• guarantee a future Prize Bond winner;
• create a “VIP number”;
• promise that the same number will win again;
• sell a secret prediction formula.

Historical Prize Bond data is used for result checking and reference.

Data Retention

Different types of information may need to be retained for different periods.

For example:

• temporary technical logs may be retained for security or troubleshooting;
• analytics information may follow the retention settings of the relevant service;
• contact messages may be kept while a question or correction is being reviewed;
• important correction records may be retained longer where they help explain a material content change.

We do not promise that every category of data has the same retention period.

Information should not be kept longer than reasonably necessary for its purpose, subject to technical, security, backup and legal requirements.

Data Security

Saving.com.pk takes reasonable steps to protect the website and information handled through it.

However, no website, hosting service, database, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, visitors should avoid submitting highly sensitive information unless it is genuinely required.

In particular, never send Saving.com.pk passwords, PINs or OTPs.

Children’s Privacy

Saving.com.pk is a general information website about Pakistan Prize Bonds and National Savings-related topics. It is not designed as a service directed specifically at children.

We do not knowingly ask children to provide unnecessary personal information through ordinary website use.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has submitted personal information that should not have been provided, they can contact us through the Contact Us page.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on the technology involved and your location, you may have several ways to control how information is processed.

You may be able to:

• refuse or manage non-essential cookies;
• block third-party cookies in your browser;
• clear stored cookies;
• adjust advertising-personalization settings;
• use browser privacy controls;
• contact us about information you previously submitted;
• request correction or deletion of information where applicable and reasonably possible.

Some technical records may need to be retained temporarily for security, fraud prevention or legal purposes.

Requests About Personal Information

If you previously submitted personal information directly to Saving.com.pk and want to ask about it, use Contact Us.

Please explain:

• what information you believe was submitted;
• approximately when it was submitted;
• how it was submitted;
• what you are requesting.

We may need enough information to identify the relevant record and to avoid disclosing information to the wrong person.

Rights concerning access, correction, deletion or other processing can differ depending on the applicable law and circumstances.

Do We Sell Personal Information?

Saving.com.pk does not operate as a data-broker service whose purpose is selling contact-form information or Prize Bond searches to third parties.

The site may use third-party advertising and analytics providers, and those providers may process information under their own technologies and privacy terms as described in this policy.

Advertising technology should not be confused with Saving.com.pk selling a visitor’s contact message or Prize Bond claim information.

International Processing

Some third-party services used to operate Saving.com.pk may maintain servers or processing operations outside Pakistan.

For example, hosting, analytics, advertising or security providers may process technical information in other countries.

Their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements govern those processing activities.

By using an internet-based website that relies on such services, information may therefore be processed outside the country from which you are visiting.

Embedded and Third-Party Content

If Saving.com.pk later embeds content supplied by another platform, that service may collect technical information when the embedded content loads.

Examples might include externally hosted media or interactive services.

Where possible, we prefer to avoid unnecessary third-party embeds on important Prize Bond utility pages, especially where a native Saving.com.pk feature can perform the same task.

For example, Power Search should use Saving.com.pk’s native checker rather than an outdated external iframe.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Saving.com.pk may update this Privacy Policy when:

• website technology changes;
• a third-party service is added or removed;
• analytics or advertising settings change;
• privacy practices change;
• legal or regulatory requirements change;
• we identify wording that is outdated or unclear.

Material changes will be reflected by updating the Last updated date at the top of this page.

Older wording should not be kept simply because it appeared on a previous version of Saving.com.pk.

Contact Saving.com.pk About Privacy

Questions about this Privacy Policy can be sent through our Contact Us page.

Please use the subject of your message to make clear that the request concerns privacy.

Do not send passwords, OTPs or banking authentication details.

For information specifically about cookies, analytics and advertising technologies, read the Cookie Policy.

• Central Directorate of National Savings;

FAQs

Does Saving.com.pk require an account?

Ordinary visitors can browse Prize Bond results, schedules and guides without creating a Saving.com.pk user account.

What information is collected when I use Power Search?

Does Saving.com.pk use Google AdSense?

Saving.com.pk may display advertising through Google AdSense. Google advertising technologies may use cookies and related identifiers for ad delivery, measurement and, where permitted, personalization.

Yes. Saving.com.pk uses Jetpack Stats to understand general website traffic and improve important pages and tools.

Does Saving.com.pk sell my Prize Bond number?

Saving.com.pk does not operate as a service for selling visitors’ Prize Bond searches. A Prize Bond number entered in the checker is used for historical result searching and related site functionality.

Should I send my CNIC when reporting a result error?

You can contact us through /contact-us/ and explain what information you previously submitted and what you are requesting. Whether a record can be deleted may depend on technical, security or applicable legal requirements.
