Privacy Policy

What we collect. What we don’t. Plainly.

You’re trusting us with a reference number tied to your home or business. We take that seriously. This Privacy Policy page explains exactly what data passes through MEPCO Bill Online, what we keep, what we never touch, and how you’re in control.

Last updated: [05/07/2026]

Short version

What we collect

MINIMAL, PURPOSE-LIMITED
  • Reference Number or Customer ID you enter, sent to MEPCO’s system to retrieve your bill
  • Name, email, and message when you use our Contact form
  • Basic, non-identifying analytics (pages visited, general location, device type)
  • Recent lookups saved to your own browser’s local storage, if autocomplete is enabled

What we never collect

NOT REQUESTED, NOT STORED
  • CNIC numbers, bank details, or payment card information
  • Your bill history stored permanently on our servers
  • Location data beyond general, approximate region
  • Any data sold or shared with advertisers or data brokers

In detail

01
Bill checker

How your Reference Number or Customer ID is used

When you search for a bill, the number you enter is submitted directly to MEPCO’s billing system (bill.pitc.com.pk) to retrieve your bill, and the result is displayed back to you in your browser. We don’t retain a copy of this number or the resulting bill on our servers once your session ends.

02
Autocomplete

Recent lookups stay on your device, not ours

If our tools offer an autocomplete or “recent searches” feature, it works using your browser’s local storage — meaning the data lives only on the device you’re using, not on our servers. You can clear it anytime by clearing your browser’s site data, and it’s never transmitted to us.

03
Contact form

Messages you send us

When you use our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, the topic you select, and your message. This is used solely to respond to you and improve our tools. We ask that you avoid including your CNIC, full account numbers, or other sensitive details in your message — our support team doesn’t need them to help with website or tool issues.

04
Cookies & analytics

Basic, aggregated usage data

We may use standard analytics tools to understand which pages are useful and where visitors run into trouble — this typically includes page views, approximate region, device type, and referring site. This data is aggregated and isn’t used to build an individual profile of you. If we use cookies for this purpose, you can control or disable them through your browser settings.

05
Third parties

Who your data passes through

Bill lookups are sent to MEPCO’s own system, which is outside our control and governed by MEPCO’s own data practices. We may also use trusted service providers for hosting, email delivery, or web fonts (such as Google Fonts), which can involve standard technical data like IP address as part of normal web delivery.

06
Retention

How long we keep what we collect

Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping, then deleted. Bill lookup data isn’t retained beyond your session. Analytics data is kept in aggregated form and isn’t tied to your identity.

07
Security

How we protect what we do collect

We use standard security practices — including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and restricted access to any stored contact-form data — to protect information in transit and at rest. No system is perfectly secure, so we encourage you not to share sensitive account details through channels that don’t need them, like our contact form.

08
Children’s privacy

This site isn’t directed at children

MEPCO Bill Online is intended for general consumer use by adults managing their own or their household’s electricity bills. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children.

09
Changes

This policy may be updated over time

As our tools evolve, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect new features or practices. The “Last updated” date at the top will always reflect the latest version. We encourage checking back periodically.
