zk999 Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Personal Data
At zk999, protecting the personal data of every Bangladeshi player on our platform is a core operational commitment. This Privacy Policy explains precisely what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored and processed, who it may be shared with, and what rights you hold over your own data. Please read this document carefully before using the zk999 platform.
Six Privacy Principles That Guide zk999
Before diving into the full legal text, here is a plain-English summary of the six core principles that underpin how zk999 handles personal data collected from players across Bangladesh.
Minimal Data Collection
zk999 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate the platform, process transactions, verify identity, and meet compliance obligations. We do not collect data speculatively or sell it to advertisers.
Secure Storage
All personal data held by zk999 is stored on encrypted servers protected by 256-bit SSL and layered access controls. Passwords are stored as cryptographic hashes — never in plain text. We conduct regular security reviews to identify and address vulnerabilities.
No Unauthorised Sharing
zk999 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data is shared only with service providers who require it to deliver specific functions — such as payment processing or identity verification — and only under strict data processing agreements.
Your Rights Respected
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. zk999 will respond to all data subject requests within a reasonable timeframe. Contact [email protected] to exercise any of your data rights.
Defined Retention Periods
zk999 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and compliance obligations. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
Transparent Updates
When this Privacy Policy is materially updated, zk999 will notify registered players via a prominent notice on the platform or by email to the address on record. Continued use of the platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of zk999 assets, personal data held by zk999 may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections being maintained.
Where zk999 engages third-party processors, we require them to handle personal data only on our documented instructions, to maintain appropriate security standards, and not to process data for any purpose beyond what we specify.
7 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
zk999 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support the operation of the platform and to improve the user experience. The following types of cookies may be placed on your device when you access zk999:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly, including session management, login authentication, and security token validation. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing platform functionality.
- Performance cookies: Collect anonymised data about how users navigate the platform — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and where errors occur. This information is used exclusively to improve platform performance.
- Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences such as display settings and responsible gaming configuration, so that you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand aggregate user behaviour patterns across the platform. Data collected via analytics cookies is processed in aggregated, anonymised form and is not used to identify individual players.
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the functionality of the zk999 platform. For strictly necessary cookies, no opt-out is available as they are essential to service delivery.
8 Data Security
zk999 implements a multi-layered security framework to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Key security measures in place include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the zk999 servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring that data cannot be intercepted in transit.
- Password hashing: Account passwords are stored using strong one-way cryptographic hashing algorithms. zk999 staff cannot view your password in plain text under any circumstances.
- Access controls: Access to systems holding personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis. All access is logged and subject to regular audit.
- Server-side security: Platform infrastructure is hosted in secure data centres with physical access controls, intrusion detection systems, and regular penetration testing conducted by qualified security professionals.
- Incident response: zk999 maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to affected individuals, zk999 will take prompt remedial action and notify affected players without undue delay.
While zk999 takes all reasonable precautions to protect your personal data, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for ensuring that no unauthorised person accesses your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact [email protected] immediately.
9 Data Retention
zk999 retains personal data for the periods set out below, after which data is securely deleted or rendered permanently anonymous:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity data | Duration of account plus 5 years after closure | AML compliance, legal obligations, dispute resolution |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from the date of the transaction | Financial record-keeping and regulatory compliance |
| KYC verification documents | 5 years after account closure | Anti-money laundering regulatory requirements |

| Technical and usage logs | 12 months from collection | Security monitoring, platform optimisation |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn plus 1 year | Demonstrating lawful basis for marketing |
Where zk999 is required by law to retain data for a longer period than stated above, the legally mandated retention period shall apply. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, data is deleted using secure erasure methods or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an individual.
10 Your Rights
As a data subject whose personal information is processed by zk999, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Right of access: You may request a copy of all personal data held about you by zk999. We will provide this information within a reasonable timeframe at no cost for standard requests.
- Right to rectification: If any personal data held by zk999 is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated. You may also update basic account information directly from within your account settings.
- Right to erasure: You may request that zk999 delete your personal data where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (and no other legal basis exists), or where the data has been unlawfully processed. This right is subject to overriding legal retention obligations.
- Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that zk999 restrict the processing of your personal data — for example, while a rectification request is being assessed, or pending verification of a legitimate interest override.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity, you may request that personal data you have provided to zk999 be delivered to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data where zk999 relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis. You may also withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time by contacting support.
To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact the zk999 data team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". Please include sufficient information to verify your identity. zk999 aims to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days. In cases of complexity or high volume, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, with notification provided to you.
11 Children's Privacy
The zk999 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and over. zk999 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If zk999 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, that account will be closed immediately, all data associated with the account will be deleted, and any funds in the account will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Parents and guardians who believe that a minor may have registered an account on zk999 are urged to contact [email protected] immediately so that the matter can be investigated and resolved without delay. zk999 employs age verification procedures during registration and KYC review to minimise the risk of underage access.
12 Third-Party Links
The zk999 platform may contain references to game providers and payment services that operate their own separate platforms and privacy policies. This Privacy Policy applies solely to data processing carried out by zk999 in connection with the zk999 platform. zk999 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party game studios, payment providers, or any other external services that you interact with independently.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with your zk999 account, including your chosen mobile wallet provider (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) and your bank, as their data handling practices are governed by their own policies rather than this one.
13 Policy Updates
zk999 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players by displaying a prominent notice on the platform homepage or by sending an email to the address associated with your account, at least seven days before the changes take effect.
The effective date at the top of this document and the "last updated" indicator in the table of contents will be revised each time the policy is amended. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed about how zk999 protects your data. Your continued use of the platform following a notified update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
