5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

zc999 does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your data with carefully selected third parties in the following circumstances:

• Payment processors: JazzCash, Easypaisa, and other payment partners receive the minimum data necessary to process your transactions. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and security standards.
• Identity verification providers: KYC and AML compliance partners may process your identity documents to fulfil verification requirements. These partners are bound by strict data processing agreements.
• Game software providers: Third-party game studios whose titles are hosted on the zc999 platform may receive anonymised session data for game performance and integrity monitoring. Player identity data is not shared with game providers.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: Where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory direction, zc999 may disclose personal data to government or law enforcement authorities within Pakistan or internationally.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the zc999 business, player data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

6. Data Retention

zc999 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, to comply with AML record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction.

On expiry of applicable retention periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data management procedures.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

zc999.co uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, maintain your login session, and collect analytical data. The following types of cookies are used:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function, including session management, login state, and security tokens. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytical cookies: Used to understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where users encounter difficulties. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
• Preference cookies: Store your platform preferences, such as language settings and display options, so you don't have to re-enter them on each visit.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.

10. Security Measures

zc999 implements technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
