• Consent: Where zh888 relies on consent — for example for optional promotional communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

5. Data Sharing

5.1 Third-Party Service Providers

zh888 shares personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist in delivering the zh888 platform. These include payment processors (JazzCash, Easypaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, and USDT payment infrastructure), identity verification services, game software providers, fraud detection systems, and customer support platforms. All third-party providers are contractually required to process data only on zh888's instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards.

5.2 Regulatory and Legal Disclosure

zh888 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, or courts where required by applicable law or in response to a valid legal order. zh888 will not voluntarily disclose data to third parties outside the scope described in this Policy.

5.3 No Data Sales

zh888 does not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer your personal data to any third party for that party's own marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. Data sharing is strictly limited to the purposes described in this Policy.

5.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of all or part of zh888's business assets, personal data held by zh888 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any such transfer and the associated privacy implications in advance where practicable.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

zh888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit zh888.net. The categories of cookies used by zh888 are:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the zh888 platform to function correctly. These include session management cookies that keep you logged in during your visit. They cannot be disabled without disrupting the service.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings and display options, to personalise your zh888 experience.
• Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymised usage data — such as which pages are most visited and how players navigate the platform — to help zh888 improve the user experience.
• Security Cookies: Support fraud detection and account security functions by identifying unusual access patterns.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using zh888, but may affect certain personalisation and analytics functions. zh888 does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising.

7. Data Retention

zh888 retains personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law. The following general retention principles apply:

• Active Accounts: Personal and transaction data is retained for the duration of your active zh888 account relationship.
• Closed Accounts: Following account closure, zh888 retains data for a minimum period required by applicable anti-money laundering and regulatory requirements — typically five years from the date of account closure.
• Identity Verification Documents: Retained for the legally required minimum period following the end of the business relationship.
• Support Communications: Retained for 3 years following the date of the communication or resolution of the related issue, whichever is later.
• Technical Logs: System and security logs are retained for 12 months from the date of creation.

Data that is no longer required and has no legal retention basis will be securely deleted or anonymised.

8. Data Security

zh888 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Key security measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and zh888 servers
• Encrypted storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms — zh888 staff cannot read your password in plain text
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available on all zh888 accounts to add a second layer of login security
• Login anomaly detection monitoring for unusual access patterns, including unfamiliar IP addresses or devices
• Access controls limiting internal access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing of the zh888 platform

Notwithstanding these measures, no system is completely immune to security incidents. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, zh888 will notify you and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law.

9. Your Rights Over Your Data

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by zh888:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of the personal data zh888 holds about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected. Basic account information such as username and mobile number can be updated via the zh888 account settings.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data where zh888 has no legitimate or legal basis to retain it. Note that zh888 is required to retain certain data for a minimum period following account closure for legal and regulatory compliance purposes — erasure requests will be considered within this framework.
• Right to Restrict Processing: Request that zh888 restricts the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where you contest the accuracy of the data.
• Right to Data Portability: Request that your personal data be provided to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including processing for direct marketing communications.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

To exercise any of the above rights, contact the zh888 support team via live chat or at the email address shown in Section 13. zh888 will respond to data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe and in any event no later than 30 days from receipt of the request.

10. Children's Privacy

zh888 is an 18+ platform. zh888 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 18. Age is verified at account registration using the date of birth provided by the applicant, and zh888 reserves the right to request additional age verification documentation at any time.

If zh888 discovers or is notified that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 18, the account will be immediately closed, all deposits will be returned (after deduction of any amounts wagered), and the associated personal data will be deleted without delay. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created a zh888 account, please contact the support team immediately.

11. International Data Transfers

zh888 may store and process personal data on servers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, zh888 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable data protection law. These safeguards may include contractual protections with data recipients and technical security measures applied to data in transit and at rest.

By using zh888 services and providing your personal data, you consent to the transfer of that data to servers or service providers that may be located in jurisdictions other than your own, subject to the protections described in this Policy.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

zh888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Revised versions will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Where changes are material, zh888 will endeavour to notify registered players via their registered mobile number or email address. Continued use of zh888 following publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the revised Policy, you should close your zh888 account and discontinue use of our services.
