z999k Privacy Policy

Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected, processed, and stored by z999k ("we", "us", "our") in connection with the operation of the z999k online gaming platform accessible at z999k.bet, including all associated game products, payment services, promotions, customer support channels, and marketing communications directed at members based in Pakistan.

z999k is committed to handling your personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection principles. We recognise that our members in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and across Pakistan place significant trust in us when they share their personal details, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This Policy covers data collected from:

• Registered z999k members (active, inactive, and self-excluded accounts).
• Visitors to the z999k.bet website who have not yet completed registration.
• Individuals who contact z999k support via live chat, email, or any other supported channel.
• Participants in z999k promotional campaigns, tournaments, or loyalty programmes.

This Policy does not cover the privacy practices of third-party game providers, payment processors, or any other external services that may be accessible through or integrated with the z999k platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties independently.

Data We Collect

z999k collects the following categories of personal data from members and platform visitors:

• KYC Verification Submissions: Documents and data you upload during the identity verification process, including scanned copies of your CNIC and proof of address.
• Financial Transactions: Data captured when you make deposits or withdrawal requests via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, or debit card.
• Platform Activity: Automatically recorded data generated as you browse the z999k website, navigate game lobbies, place wagers, and interact with promotional content.

Purposes & Legal Basis for Processing

z999k processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists for doing so. The following table sets out the primary purposes for which we process personal data and the corresponding legal basis for each:

Data Sharing & Disclosure

z999k does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. Your data is shared only in the following limited and necessary circumstances:

• Payment Processors: Your financial data is shared with payment service providers (including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and partner banking institutions) solely to facilitate deposit and withdrawal transactions. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only for that purpose.
• Identity Verification Services: Your CNIC and supporting documents may be shared with certified identity verification and KYC service providers to complete the age and identity verification process required for your account.
• Game Technology Providers: Game session data (such as bet amounts, game rounds, and session timestamps) is shared with licensed game providers that supply content to the z999k platform. This is necessary for game operation, fairness certification, and dispute resolution.
• Fraud Prevention Agencies: We may share data with fraud detection and prevention services to identify and mitigate suspicious activity, account takeovers, and financial crime.
• Legal and Regulatory Authorities: z999k will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of z999k or its members.
• Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of z999k's business assets, member data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

z999k uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform effectively, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience. The following types of cookies are used on z999k.bet:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as session authentication, account login persistence, and security verification. These cookies cannot be disabled without disrupting platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as your preferred game lobby view, language settings, and deposit method — so that you do not need to re-enter them on every visit.
• Analytical Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how members interact with z999k.bet, including which pages are visited most frequently, session duration, and navigation paths. This data helps us improve the platform. Analytical cookies do not identify you personally.
• Marketing and Retargeting Cookies: With your consent, z999k may use marketing cookies to deliver relevant promotional content. These cookies track whether you have visited certain pages or responded to particular promotions.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair your ability to log in and use the z999k platform. A more detailed Cookie Policy governing z999k's specific cookie practices is available upon request from our support team.

Data Retention

z999k retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and audit obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your account's active status plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with standard AML record-keeping obligations.
• KYC Documents (CNIC, proof of address): Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure or the date of the last transaction, whichever is later.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the date of the transaction, as required for financial compliance and audit trail purposes.
• Customer Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years following the resolution of the relevant support interaction, unless the matter is subject to ongoing dispute or legal proceedings.
• Marketing Consent Records: Retained for the duration of your marketing opt-in, plus three (3) years following opt-out, as evidence of lawful processing.
• Technical and Usage Data (logs, IP records): Retained for twelve (12) months from the date of collection, unless retained longer for fraud investigation or legal proceedings.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, z999k will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you as an identifiable individual.

Data Security

z999k implements a comprehensive range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Key security measures in place include:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and z999k's servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. You can verify this by the HTTPS prefix in your browser's address bar.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data — including CNIC numbers, financial account details, and KYC documents — is stored in encrypted form within z999k's secure database infrastructure.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within z999k's systems is strictly limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. All internal data access is logged and audited regularly.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): z999k strongly recommends that all members enable 2FA on their accounts. Internal system access by z999k staff also requires multi-factor authentication.
• Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Management: z999k conducts regular security assessments of its platform infrastructure to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Data Breach Response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, z999k will notify affected members without undue delay and take immediate steps to contain and remediate the breach.

Your Rights Over Your Data

As a z999k member, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data. You may exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting z999k's support team via live chat or by emailing [email protected]:

z999k will respond to all verified data rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or involves a large volume of data, we may extend this period by a further two months, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it within the initial 30-day window.

Children & Minors

z999k is strictly an adult platform. The minimum age to register and participate on z999k is 21 years. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain any personal data belonging to individuals under the age of 21.

z999k employs mandatory CNIC-based age verification as part of its KYC process to confirm that all registering members meet the 21-year minimum age requirement. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be suspended immediately, all associated transactions will be frozen, and any deposited funds will be returned to the original payment source following verification.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered on z999k without authorisation, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

International Data Transfers

z999k operates as an international online gaming platform. In the course of providing our services, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Pakistan — for example, where our technology infrastructure, game providers, or KYC service partners are based.

Wherever personal data is transferred internationally, z999k ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that applied within Pakistan. These safeguards may include:

• Contractual data protection clauses incorporated into agreements with all international data processors and sub-processors.
• Transfers only to service providers located in jurisdictions with recognised data protection frameworks or certifications.
• Ongoing monitoring and auditing of international data processor compliance with z999k's data protection standards.

By registering on z999k and providing your personal data, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer of your data as described in this section, subject always to the safeguards outlined above.

Marketing Communications

With your explicit consent, z999k may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new game launches, PSL cricket betting specials, seasonal promotions, and other platform news via email or SMS to your registered mobile number.

• Opt-In: Marketing communications are sent only to members who have actively opted in to receive them, either during registration or subsequently via their account preferences dashboard.
• Opt-Out: You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every marketing email, or by updating your communication preferences within your z999k account dashboard. Alternatively, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Marketing Opt-Out".
• Transactional Notifications: Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not affect essential transactional notifications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal processing updates, and security alerts — which are sent regardless of marketing preferences as they are necessary for the operation of your account.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

z999k reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time in response to changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or our internal data processing practices. The version date displayed at the top of this document indicates when the Policy was last reviewed.

Where amendments are material — meaning they significantly affect how we collect or use your personal data, or reduce the rights available to you — z999k will notify registered members via a prominent notice on the z999k.bet platform and, where practicable, by email to your registered address, at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the z999k platform after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you should cease using the platform and may request account closure by contacting [email protected].
