Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information WhatsOn.pk may process, why we need it, how browser based tools handle files, and which choices are available to you.
We collect only what is reasonably needed
WhatsOn.pk uses limited information to provide tools, answer messages, protect the website and improve performance. Supported image, PDF and text tools process files inside your browser whenever practical. Public platform data may be requested through official APIs. Cookies may support preferences, analytics, security and advertising.
About this policy
The services and visitors covered by this document
WhatsOn.pk is an online tools and guides website for creators, students, businesses, website owners and ordinary internet users. This Privacy Policy applies when you visit our pages, use a tool, read a guide, contact our team or interact with a service available through whatson.pk.
The words “we,” “our” and “us” refer to WhatsOn.pk. “You” means a visitor or user of the website. Some services connected to our website are operated by independent companies. Those companies may handle information under their own privacy policies.
Information we may process
Information you provide and technical data created during a visit
Your name, email address, subject, message and other details you choose to send when contacting us.
Your IP address, browser, device type, requested page, visit time, referring page and server error details.
Text, links, numbers, images or documents entered into a tool. Processing depends on how that tool works.
General page views, feature interactions and performance information where measurement tools are enabled.
Consent choices, preference values and identifiers used for website functions, analytics or advertising.
Public metadata returned by an official API after you submit a supported public link or identifier.
Please do not enter passwords, payment card details, private account credentials, medical records or confidential business documents into a general purpose tool.
Browser based processing
How supported image, PDF and text tools protect privacy
Your device can perform the work
Many tools are designed to use browser features so the selected file can be processed locally. When a tool works entirely in your browser, WhatsOn.pk does not intentionally upload that file to its server.
- Your selected file remains on your device during local processing.
- The result is created for you to preview or download.
- Refreshing the page may remove the current tool session.
- A tool should disclose when server processing is required.
- You should keep an original copy before editing an important file.
YouTube and official APIs
Public data requests made through permitted services
Some WhatsOn.pk tools may use the official YouTube Data API or another permitted public API. If you enter a public video URL, channel URL or identifier, our server may validate the input and send the required request to that provider.
- Only the information needed for the requested feature is submitted.
- Public responses may be cached temporarily to improve speed.
- Private API credentials remain on the server.
- API results may be delayed, incomplete or unavailable.
- Public data cannot confirm exact earnings, private content or hidden account restrictions.
Visitors do not need to sign in to a Google account merely to use a supported public YouTube information tool. Use of YouTube related features is also subject to the provider documents below.
How we use information
The practical reasons information may be processed
- Provide the tool or website feature you request.
- Validate input and show useful error messages.
- Respond to contact messages and privacy requests.
- Detect spam, malicious activity and excessive requests.
- Fix technical problems and monitor website performance.
- Understand which pages and tools visitors find useful.
- Display and measure advertising where ads are enabled.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.
We do not use a file processed entirely inside your browser for advertising profiles, content training or unrelated marketing because that file is not intentionally sent to our server.
Cookies and browser storage
Small files and local values used by website services
Cookies are small files saved by a browser. Similar browser storage may remember a theme choice, consent preference or temporary tool setting. Available cookies depend on the services active during your visit.
| Category | Purpose | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Security, consent records and essential website operation. | Some website functions may depend on them. |
| Preferences | Remember light mode, dark mode or interface choices. | Clear browser storage to reset them. |
| Analytics | Measure general traffic, performance and feature use. | Use available consent controls where required. |
| Advertising | Deliver, limit, personalize or measure advertisements. | Use consent, browser and provider settings. |
You can block or remove cookies using your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage may stop some preferences or website functions from working correctly.
Advertising and analytics
Independent services that may process technical data
WhatsOn.pk may use advertising services such as Google AdSense and may use an analytics service to understand website traffic. These providers may receive technical information such as an IP address, browser details, device identifiers, page URL and interaction information.
Third party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve or measure advertisements. Depending on your location, consent choice and provider settings, ads may be personalized or non personalized.
- Advertisements should remain separate from tool buttons and results.
- Advertising does not determine the result produced by a tool.
- Optional services should respect available consent choices.
- Each provider handles information under its own privacy terms.
When information may be shared
Limited sharing needed to operate and protect the website
WhatsOn.pk does not intentionally sell personal information directly to data brokers. Information may be processed by service providers where reasonably needed for the following purposes.
- Website hosting, content delivery, backups and security.
- Email delivery and responding to messages.
- Official API requests initiated by a visitor.
- Analytics and advertising where those services are enabled.
- Professional legal, accounting or security advice.
- A lawful request from a competent authority.
- A legitimate business transfer or website ownership change.
Providers may act independently and apply their own privacy policies. We do not control information that you choose to submit directly to an external website.
Retention and deletion
Information is kept only while there is a practical or legal need
Kept while a question is handled, a record is needed or a legal issue remains active.
Kept according to hosting and security needs, then deleted or rotated.
Kept temporarily to improve speed and reduce repeated provider requests.
Files processed entirely in your browser are not intentionally retained by our server.
Information may be retained longer where required by law, needed to investigate abuse or connected to an unresolved dispute. Backup copies may remain until the relevant backup cycle expires.
Security measures
Steps used to reduce unauthorized access and misuse
- Encrypted HTTPS connections for website traffic.
- Restricted administrative access.
- Request validation, input cleaning and output escaping.
- Private server storage for secret API credentials.
- Request limits and filtering for suspicious activity.
- Software updates and operational backups.
Your privacy choices
Rights may differ depending on the law that applies to you
Depending on your location, you may have rights concerning personal information connected to you. Legal exceptions may apply.
- Ask whether we hold personal information associated with you.
- Request access to or correction of that information.
- Request deletion where retention is not legally required.
- Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable.
- Withdraw consent for optional processing.
- Manage cookies through browser or provider settings.
- Contact an appropriate privacy authority where permitted.
We may ask for enough information to verify a request and protect the person whose information is involved. We may refuse a fraudulent, excessive or legally exempt request.
Children and international visitors
Age limits and processing across different countries
WhatsOn.pk is a general audience website. It is not specifically directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information without appropriate permission. A young visitor who cannot legally provide consent should use the site with a parent or guardian.
Our hosting, security, API, advertising and analytics providers may operate in several countries. Information may therefore be processed outside your country. Privacy laws and protections can differ between locations.
If you believe a child has sent personal information to us, please contact our team so we can review the matter.
External links and policy updates
What happens when you leave our website or this document changes
Our pages may link to social platforms, official documentation, download options or other external resources. WhatsOn.pk does not control the content, security or privacy practices of those websites. Review their policies before signing in or providing information.
We may update this policy when our tools, service providers, advertising, analytics or legal duties change. The latest version will appear on this page with a revised update date. Important changes may also be highlighted through a website notice.
