Privacy Policy — How ze555 Protects Your Personal Data

01 Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ze555 ("we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of individuals ("you", "your", "Player", or "User") who access or use the ze555 online gaming platform at ze555.pro, including all associated services, games, betting markets, customer support channels, and promotional communications.

ze555 is committed to handling your personal data responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. This Policy is written in plain English and is designed to be understood by all ze555 players across Pakistan, from Karachi and Lahore to Faisalabad, Islamabad, and every city in between.

This Policy should be read alongside ze555's Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are published separately on this website and are incorporated by reference into this document.

02 Data Controller

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, ze555 acts as the data controller in respect of all personal data collected from Pakistani players using the Platform. As data controller, ze555 determines the purposes for which and the means by which your personal data is processed.

All data protection enquiries, subject access requests, and formal complaints relating to the processing of your personal data by ze555 should be directed to our dedicated support team using the contact details provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

03 Personal Data We Collect

ze555 collects personal data in three primary ways: information you provide directly, information generated automatically through your use of the Platform, and information received from trusted third-party sources. The following table summarises the categories of data we collect:

ze555 does not intentionally collect special categories of sensitive personal data (such as health information, biometric data, or religious affiliation) unless specifically required by applicable anti-money laundering regulations and with your explicit consent.

04 Purpose & Legal Basis for Processing

ze555 processes your personal data only where a lawful basis exists for doing so. The following table sets out the primary purposes for which we process personal data and the corresponding legal basis:

• Account registration and management: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and ze555 — namely, to provide you with access to the gaming platform and its services.
• Identity verification (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) checks: Processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations applicable to online gaming and financial services providers operating in Pakistan and under our licensing framework.
• Processing deposits, withdrawals, and financial transactions via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Visa, and Mastercard: Processing is necessary to perform the contract and to comply with financial record-keeping obligations.
• Fraud prevention and security monitoring: Processing is necessary for the purposes of ze555's legitimate interests in protecting the Platform and its players from fraudulent activity, account compromise, and financial crime.
• Customer support: Processing is necessary to perform the contract and to respond to your enquiries and complaints in a timely manner.
• Responsible gaming monitoring: Processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations and to fulfil ze555's legitimate interest in promoting safe gaming practices among its Pakistani player base.
• Sending marketing communications: Processing is based on your explicit consent, which you provide at the time of registration and may withdraw at any time.
• Platform analytics and improvement: Processing is based on ze555's legitimate interest in understanding how the Platform is used and continuously improving the experience for Pakistani players.

05 Data Sharing with Third Parties

ze555 does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Personal data is shared only in the following specific and limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: Transaction data is shared with JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Visa, and Mastercard solely for the purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals. These partners operate under their own privacy policies and applicable financial regulations.
• Identity verification providers: Identity and verification documents are shared with licensed KYC/AML service providers for the purpose of verifying your identity and conducting required due diligence checks. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only for the purposes specified by ze555.
• Fraud prevention and security services: Technical and usage data may be shared with fraud detection providers to identify and prevent suspicious activity on the Platform.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: ze555 will disclose personal data to government agencies, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive. ze555 will notify affected players of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
• Platform infrastructure providers: ze555 engages cloud hosting, database management, and cybersecurity service providers who may process personal data on ze555's behalf as data processors. All such processors are subject to binding data processing agreements that prohibit independent use of your data.

06 Data Retention Periods

ze555 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, or to resolve disputes. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active ze555 account, plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure to comply with AML record-keeping requirements.
• Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with applicable financial regulations.
• KYC verification documents: Retained for five (5) years following account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later.
• Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction, unless a longer period is required in connection with an active dispute.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your ze555 account, updated each time you modify your marketing preferences.
• Technical and usage data (logs): Retained for a rolling period of twelve (12) months, after which logs are anonymised or deleted.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, ze555 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in a manner that prevents its reconstruction.

07 Security Measures

ze555 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a layered approach to information security, combining technical, organisational, and procedural safeguards to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure.

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and the ze555 Platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. This includes login credentials, payment details, and all personal information submitted via the Platform.
• Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored on ze555 servers — including identity documents, CNIC details, and financial account identifiers — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within ze555 is restricted to authorised personnel on a strictly need-to-know basis. All staff with access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations.
• Two-factor authentication: ze555 supports and encourages the use of two-factor authentication (2FA) via your registered Pakistani mobile number to protect your account from unauthorised access.
• Penetration testing: ze555 conducts regular security assessments and penetration tests on its infrastructure to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Incident response: In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, ze555 will notify affected players promptly and take all necessary steps to contain and remediate the breach.

ze555 uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and session storage) to operate the Platform, maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and gather usage analytics. The following categories of cookies are used on ze555.pro:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the Platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security protections. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies while using ze555.
• Functional cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as your preferred language, display settings, and game lobby filters — to provide a more personalised experience. Disabling functional cookies may affect your Platform experience.
• Analytics cookies: ze555 uses anonymised analytics to understand how players navigate the Platform, which games are most popular, and where technical issues occur. This data is used solely to improve the Platform and is never linked back to individual player identities.

09 Your Data Protection Rights

As a ze555 player, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. These rights may be exercised at any time by contacting ze555 support at [email protected]. ze555 will respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

10 Minors & Age Verification Policy

ze555 strictly prohibits the use of its Platform by any individual under the age of 21. This is a firm and non-negotiable requirement. ze555 collects date of birth information at registration and applies age verification checks as part of its standard KYC process to ensure compliance with this policy across all players in Pakistan.

Parents and guardians who believe a minor may have registered on ze555 are urged to contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so that the account can be reviewed and closed without delay. ze555 takes all such reports extremely seriously and will act swiftly upon receipt.

11 Marketing Communications

ze555 sends promotional content — including bonus offers, tournament announcements, PSL cricket betting promotions, and platform updates — by email and SMS only to players who have given their explicit consent to receive such communications at the time of registration or via subsequent opt-in.

You may withdraw your marketing consent and unsubscribe from all ze555 promotional communications at any time by:

• Updating your notification preferences within your ze555 account settings.
• Clicking the unsubscribe link included in the footer of any ze555 marketing email.
• Contacting ze555 support directly at [email protected] and requesting removal from all marketing lists.

Please note that withdrawing marketing consent does not affect the sending of transactional communications, such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, account security alerts, and KYC verification requests, which are sent as a necessary part of maintaining your ze555 account.

12 Cross-Border Data Transfers

In the course of operating the ze555 Platform, your personal data may be processed by service providers located outside of Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, ze555 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard at least equivalent to the protections described in this Policy.

Such safeguards include contractual data processing agreements with all international processors that impose obligations consistent with applicable data protection standards, restricting the processor's use of your data strictly to the purposes specified by ze555.

ze555 does not transfer personal data to countries or territories that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without first implementing appropriate safeguards. If you have questions about international data transfers, please contact our support team.
