Zero Data Collection — Your Privacy is Absolute
Sims OwnerShip is built on one fundamental principle: your privacy comes first. We collect ZERO personal data — no CNICs, no phone numbers, no SIM information, no verification results. Ever.
Privacy Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Sims OwnerShip ("we," "us," "our," or the "Website") handles information when you visit and use our free educational platform. This policy applies to all pages, guides, articles, and resources available at simsownership.com and its subdomains.
By using Sims OwnerShip, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. For our complete legal framework, please also review our Terms of Service and About Us page.
Sims OwnerShip is fundamentally different from other websites in our space. We are an educational platform — we teach you how to use official PTA verification channels. We don't operate those channels, we don't see your data, and we don't want to. Your interaction with verification systems (668, 667, cnic.sims.pk) happens directly between you and PTA/operator systems — never through us.
What We Do NOT Collect
This section is the most important part of our Privacy Policy. Sims OwnerShip explicitly does NOT collect, store, process, transmit, or have access to the following categories of personal information:
🪪 2.1 — Identity Information
- CNIC Numbers: We never ask for, receive, store, or process any CNIC number. When you send your CNIC to 668, you're texting PTA's system from your phone — our website is not involved
- Names: We don't collect real names, usernames, or any form of personal identification
- Photographs: No photo uploads or CNIC image submissions of any kind
- Biometric Data: No fingerprint, facial recognition, or iris data collected
- Date of Birth: Not collected in any form
- Gender or Address: Not collected
📱 2.2 — Telecommunications Data
- Phone Numbers: We never ask for or store mobile numbers
- SIM Registration Details: We have no access to any SIM database whatsoever
- Verification Results: When you check via 668/667, the results go to YOUR phone — we never see them
- Operator Information: We don't track which operator you use
- IMEI Numbers or Call Records: No access to any telecommunications records
💳 2.3 — Financial Information
- Bank Account Details: Not collected — we have no payment system
- Mobile Wallet Information: No JazzCash, Easypaisa, or UPaisa data collected
- Credit Card Numbers: Not collected — our website is 100% free
- Transaction History: No financial data of any kind
👤 2.4 — Account Data
- User Accounts: We don't have a user account system — no registration exists
- Passwords or Login Credentials: Nothing to log into
- User Profiles: No profiles exist on our platform
What We May Collect
Like virtually every website on the internet, our web server and third-party services may automatically collect certain non-personal, technical data when you visit. This data is anonymized and cannot identify you personally.
🖥️ 3.1 — Server Log Data

🔗 External Links
Our guides contain links to external websites (PTA, NADRA, operator websites, Google Play Store, App Store). When you click these links and leave Sims OwnerShip, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. These external sites have their own privacy policies which we encourage you to review independently.
SIM Verification Privacy
This section addresses the most important privacy question our users have: "When I follow your guides to check my SIM details, who sees my data?"
📊 Data Flow When You Verify
🏛️ PTA & Operator Privacy
When you interact with PTA's 668 system, NADRA's biometric system, or operator-specific verification services, your data is subject to their privacy policies and data handling practices — not ours. For questions about how PTA handles verification data, contact PTA directly at 0800-55055 or visit pta.gov.pk.
Children's Privacy
Sims OwnerShip is designed for Pakistani citizens aged 18 and above — the minimum age for CNIC issuance and SIM registration under Pakistani law. We do not knowingly target, collect data from, or create content specifically for children under 18.
Since we don't collect personal data from any user, we inherently do not collect data from minors. However, if a parent or guardian believes their child has somehow provided personal information to us (e.g., via email), please contact us immediately at contact@simsownership.com and we will delete such information promptly.
Your Rights
Because Sims OwnerShip collects virtually no personal data, most traditional data rights are inherently satisfied — there's nothing to access, correct, delete, or port. However, you retain the following rights as our user:
📋 Right to Information
You have the right to know what data we collect (answer: virtually none) and how any collected data is used (answer: anonymized analytics only). This Privacy Policy fulfills that right.
🚫 Right to Opt Out
You can opt out of analytics using browser extensions or cookie settings. You can use our website with JavaScript disabled — content remains fully accessible.
📧 Right to Contact
You can contact us about any privacy concern. You can request information about what data (if any) we hold related to your email communications, or request deletion of any email correspondence.
⚖️ Right to Complain
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with PTA (0800-55055), FIA Cyber Crime Wing (helpdesk.nr3c.gov.pk), or the relevant Pakistani authority.
Security Measures
While we collect minimal data, we implement reasonable industry-standard security measures to protect our website and the limited data we do handle.
Policy Changes
📝 Right to Update
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes that significantly affect user rights will be announced through a prominent notice on our homepage.
🔔 Notification
Since we don't collect email addresses or have user accounts, we cannot send individual notifications of policy changes. Users are encouraged to review this page periodically — especially after noticing a new "Last Updated" date.
✅ Continued Use
Your continued use of Sims OwnerShip after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with any changes, you may discontinue using our website at any time.
