Privacy Policy — Sims Owners Details

SimsOwnersDetails.com (referred to as "we," "us," or "our") is an independent, Pakistan-based educational website. Our purpose is to help Pakistani citizens understand how to use official PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) SIM verification services — such as the 668 SMS service, the cnic.sims.pk portal, and the 667 USSD code — safely and legally.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, NADRA, FIA, or any licensed mobile network operator (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCO).

We collect two categories of information depending on how you interact with our website:

We use the data we collect only for the following legitimate purposes:

• To display relevant advertisements — our ad partners (see Section 6) use cookies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests. Ad revenue allows us to keep all content free.
• To maintain site security — server logs help us detect spam, bot traffic, and malicious activity.
• To comply with legal obligations — we may process or disclose data if required by a Pakistani court order, FIA directive, or PTA regulatory requirement.
