Legal Disclaimer & Data Policy

Last updated: August 2026 • Legal framework for Web, iOS, and Android

This document outlines our legal stance as a search engine, directory, and schedule aggregator for Pakistani Television content across our web platform and mobile applications. It clarifies our strict compliance with international copyright standards, Apple App Store guidelines, and Google Play Store policies.

1. Ownership & Copyright Acknowledgement

Pak Drama is a non-commercial data aggregation and discovery utility. We explicitly acknowledge that all drama titles, posters, promotional images, and channel logos displayed on this site and our mobile applications are the exclusive intellectual property of their respective broadcasters, production houses, and creators, including but not limited to:

  • HUM TV (Hum Network Limited)
  • ARY Digital (ARY Network)
  • Geo Entertainment (IMC)
  • Green TV Entertainment
  • Express TV

We do not claim ownership of any media assets. These low-resolution assets are used strictly for identification and informational purposes to assist viewers in discovering broadcast schedules and official content.

2. Fair Use & Legal Basis

Our aggregation methodology is protected under standard legal and app store frameworks:

A. Pakistan: Copyright Ordinance, 1962

Under Section 57 of the Copyright Ordinance, "Fair Dealing" is permitted for the purposes of Criticism, Review, and Reporting of Current Events. We operate strictly as an informational review database and scheduling guide.

B. App Store (Apple) & Google Play Store Compliance

In compliance with Apple's App Store Review Guidelines (Intellectual Property) and Google Play Developer Policies, our mobile apps do not facilitate piracy. We do not host, transmit, or distribute stolen video files. We only link out to, or embed via official APIs, the authorized public content made freely available by broadcasters themselves.

C. International: U.S. Copyright Act (Fair Use)

Our use is transformative. We do not repost full content; we aggregate fragmented metadata into a unified timeline—a functional utility. Our platform is a discovery engine designed to direct viewers and revenue back to the original broadcasters.

3. Content Sources & API Usage

  • YouTube API: All video trailers, teasers, and episodes are embedded via the official YouTube IFrame Player API. Video views on our platform count directly towards the official broadcaster's YouTube channel metrics and monetization.
  • Public Metadata: Cast details, plot summaries, and broadcast times are sourced from public domain press releases, official network websites, and publicly accessible on-air graphics.

4. DMCA & Takedown Requests

We strictly respect the intellectual property rights of creators and networks. If you are an authorized representative of a rights holder and believe any metadata or thumbnail on our web or mobile apps infringes upon your rights, we will remove it immediately without dispute.
