zs888 Privacy Policy

1. About This Policy

1.1 This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how zs888 ("zs888", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data relating to individuals ("you", "your") who access or use the zs888 online gaming platform, available at zs888.ws.

1.2 This Policy applies to all personal data collected through your use of the Platform, including data collected during the account registration process, during gameplay, during payment transactions, through customer support interactions, and through your use of any other services offered by zs888.

1.3 zs888 operates as an internationally licensed gaming platform. Our data processing activities are carried out in accordance with the data protection standards required under our licensing framework. We are committed to handling personal data responsibly, transparently, and in a manner consistent with applicable international best practices.

1.4 This Policy should be read alongside the zs888 Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Platform generally. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms & Conditions on a privacy-specific matter, this Policy shall prevail.

• Date of birth (used to verify you are at least 21 years of age);
• Residential address, including city, province, and postal code;
• Email address;
• Pakistani mobile number;

2.1.2 During the KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification process, we additionally collect:

• Scanned or photographed copies of your Pakistani CNIC or passport;
• Proof of residential address (utility bill, bank statement, or similar document dated within three months);
• Proof of payment method ownership (e.g., screenshot of your registered JazzCash or EasyPaisa account displaying your name and mobile number).

2.1.3 When you contact our customer support team, we collect the content of your communications, including chat transcripts, email correspondence, and any attachments you provide. These records are retained for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

2.2.1 When you access the zs888 Platform, we automatically collect certain technical data, including:

• IP address and approximate geolocation derived from IP data;
• Browser type and version;
• Operating system and device type;
• Pages visited, time spent on each page, and navigation paths through the Platform;
• Game session data including games played, bet amounts, session duration, and outcomes;
• Referral URL (the page from which you arrived at the Platform);
• Session timestamps and login/logout activity.

2.2.2 This automatically collected data is used primarily for platform security, fraud detection, responsible gaming monitoring, and service improvement. It is not used to build advertising profiles for third-party marketing purposes.

2.3 Payment Data

2.3.1 When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Visa, or Mastercard, transaction data is processed by our authorised payment processing partners. zs888 retains transaction records (amount, date, payment method type, transaction reference) for accounting and regulatory compliance purposes.

2.3.2 Full card numbers and mobile wallet PINs are never stored on zs888 systems. Card and wallet credentials are handled exclusively by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

The following table summarises the primary purposes for which zs888 processes your personal data:

3.1 zs888 does not use personal data for purposes incompatible with those stated above. Where we intend to use personal data for a new purpose not described in this Policy, we will update this Policy and, where required by our licensing obligations, seek appropriate consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

4.1 Contract Performance: Processing your account registration data, KYC data (to the extent required to open and maintain your account), and payment transaction data is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you as a Platform user.

4.2 Legal Obligation: zs888 is required under the terms of its international gaming licence to carry out identity verification, maintain transaction records, conduct anti-money-laundering screening, and submit reports to relevant regulatory bodies. These processing activities are carried out to comply with binding legal obligations.

4.3 Legitimate Interest: Certain processing activities — including fraud detection, platform security monitoring, responsible gaming analytics, and service improvement — are carried out on the basis of zs888's legitimate interest in operating a safe, secure, and commercially viable gaming platform. These activities are balanced against your privacy rights and are conducted in a manner proportionate to the risks involved.

4.4 Consent: Where zs888 relies on your consent as the basis for processing — primarily in relation to optional marketing communications — you retain the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

5.1 zs888 does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercialise your personal data to third parties. Data sharing occurs only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:

5.1 Payment Processing Partners

Your payment data is shared with authorised payment processors (including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and card payment gateway providers) solely for the purpose of processing your deposit and withdrawal transactions. These partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

5.2 Identity Verification Providers

Where zs888 uses third-party identity verification technology to assist in KYC document review, your identity documents may be processed by such providers under strict data processing agreements. These providers may not use your data for any purpose beyond the verification service they are contracted to provide.

5.3 Regulatory & Legal Disclosure

zs888 may be required to disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, licensing bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required by applicable law, a valid legal process, or the terms of our gaming licence. In such cases, disclosure is limited to what is strictly required by the applicable legal obligation.

5.4 Anti-Fraud & AML Screening

zs888 may share limited account and transaction data with anti-money-laundering screening services and industry fraud prevention organisations for the purpose of detecting and preventing financial crime. Participation in such schemes is required under our licensing obligations.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

6.1 The zs888 Platform uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and session storage) to provide core platform functionality, maintain your logged-in session, and collect anonymised analytics data about how the Platform is used.

6.2 The following categories of cookies are used on the zs888 Platform:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in, CSRF protection tokens, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymised data about how players navigate and use the Platform. This data helps us identify pages that perform poorly and areas where user experience can be improved. These cookies do not identify you personally.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as preferred language, display settings, and game lobby filters. Disabling these cookies will not prevent you from using the Platform but may result in a less personalised experience.

6.3 zs888 does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that send your browsing data to external advertising networks or social media platforms.

6.4 You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are widely available. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to use the Platform.

7. Data Retention

7.1 zs888 retains your personal data for as long as your Account remains active and for a defined period following Account closure, in order to comply with our regulatory and licensing obligations.

7.2 The standard retention periods applicable to key data categories are as follows:

• Account registration data: Retained for the lifetime of your Account plus a minimum of five years following Account closure, as required under anti-money-laundering regulations applicable to our licensing jurisdiction.
• KYC identity documents: Retained for a minimum of five years following Account closure or the date of the last transaction, whichever is later.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction.
• Customer support communications: Retained for a minimum of two years from the date of the communication.
• Game session logs: Retained for a minimum of two years for dispute resolution and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.
• Marketing preference data: Retained until you opt out, at which point your opt-out preference is recorded and retained to prevent accidental re-subscription.

7.3 Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to you as an individual.

8. Data Security

8.1 zs888 implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal data we process. These measures include:

• TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser and our servers;
• Encryption at rest for sensitive personal data including identity documents and payment references;
• Hashed storage of all Account passwords using a modern cryptographic hashing algorithm — plain-text passwords are never stored;
• Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel can access personal data, and only to the extent required for their specific function;
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the Platform infrastructure;
• Logging and monitoring of access to personal data systems to detect unauthorised access attempts.

8.2 While zs888 takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account login credentials. If you suspect that your Account has been accessed without your authorisation, you should contact the zs888 support team immediately.

8.3 In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, zs888 will notify affected users and the relevant regulatory authority in accordance with our obligations under applicable data protection law, within the timeframes required.

9. Your Data Rights

9.1 As a user of the zs888 platform, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data zs888 holds about you. We will respond to verified access requests within 14 business days.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Minor data corrections (e.g., email address updates) can be made directly through your Account settings.
• Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. Note that this right is subject to our legal obligation to retain certain data categories for regulatory compliance purposes — we cannot delete data that we are legally required to retain.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict our use of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute about the accuracy of the data is being resolved.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interest as our legal basis. We will consider your objection and cease the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where processing is based on contract or consent and is carried out by automated means.

9.2 To exercise any of the above rights, please contact the zs888 support team via Live Chat or by emailing [email protected]. We will acknowledge your request promptly and respond within 14 business days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing a data rights request to protect against fraudulent requests.

10. Third-Party Services

10.1 The zs888 Platform integrates game content provided by third-party game suppliers including, but not limited to, Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero. When you play games provided by these suppliers, certain technical gameplay data may be processed by the respective game provider's systems in order to deliver and render the game. Each supplier operates their own data processing infrastructure in accordance with their own privacy policies.

10.2 Payment processing integrations (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, card payment gateways) are operated by independent payment service providers. When you initiate a payment transaction, you are interacting with that provider's processing infrastructure. zs888 recommends reviewing the privacy policies of your chosen payment provider.

10.3 zs888 is not responsible for the data processing practices of third-party game providers or payment processors. Our responsibility extends to the data you provide directly to zs888 and the data zs888 collects about your use of the Platform itself.

10.4 The zs888 Platform does not embed social media widgets, third-party advertising networks, or external analytics services that would transmit your browsing behaviour to third-party platforms without your knowledge.

11. Children & Minors

11.1 The zs888 Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. zs888 does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21 and does not permit persons under 21 to register an Account or access any gaming service.

11.2 If zs888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, the relevant Account will be immediately suspended, the data will be securely deleted to the extent permitted by regulatory retention obligations, and the matter will be escalated to our compliance team.

11.3 If you believe that a minor has registered an Account on the zs888 Platform or has accessed gambling services, please contact the zs888 support team immediately via Live Chat or at [email protected]. We will investigate and act promptly.

11.4 We strongly recommend that parents and guardians in Pakistani households use parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms for minors. Please play responsibly and keep your Account login credentials secure.

12.1 zs888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Revised versions will be published on this page with the effective date updated accordingly.
