6. Data Sharing

ze999 does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially disclose your personal data to third parties. ze999 shares data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal Authorities: ze999 will disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts where required by law or court order. ze999 will, where permitted, notify you before complying with such a request.
• Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of ze999 assets, player data may be transferred to a successor entity, which will be bound by equivalent privacy obligations.

All third parties with whom ze999 shares data are required to handle it securely, use it only for the specified purpose, and comply with applicable data protection standards.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

ze999 uses the following categories of cookies and similar tracking technologies on the ze999 website and Android application:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function – session management, authentication tokens, and security cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
• Analytics Cookies: Anonymised usage data to understand how players interact with ze999, which games are most popular, and where technical issues occur. ze999 uses this data only for internal improvement purposes.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your language, display, and notification settings within ze999.

You can manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser or device settings. The ze999 Android app uses device-level tracking controls available in Android Settings > Privacy.

8. Data Security

ze999 implements technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include: 256-bit SSL encryption for all data in transit; AES-256 encryption for data stored on ze999 servers; access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis; regular security assessments and penetration testing; SMS two-factor authentication for account access; and automated fraud and anomaly detection systems monitoring unusual account activity in real time.

Despite these measures, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to player rights, ze999 will notify affected individuals without undue delay and take all reasonable steps to contain the breach and prevent recurrence.

9. Data Retention

ze999 retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period thereafter to satisfy legal, regulatory, and audit requirements. Specifically:

• Identity and KYC documents are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from account closure to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records are retained for five (5) years from the date of each transaction.
• Communications and support records are retained for two (2) years from the date of each interaction.
• Technical and behavioural data used for analytics is anonymised within twelve (12) months of collection.

Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so it can no longer be attributed to you.
