z5555 collects the following categories of personal data in the course of operating the Platform:
3.1 Registration Data
When you create an account, we collect: full legal name, date of birth, residential address, email address, phone number and chosen username. This information is required to create and manage your account.

3.3 Financial Data
We collect records of deposits, withdrawals, wagers and account balances. Payment method identifiers (such as account reference numbers associated with bank transfers or mobile wallet transactions via services familiar to Pakistani users such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast or transfers from institutions such as HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah) are recorded for transaction management and fraud prevention purposes. Full payment credentials such as full card numbers are not stored by z5555 — these are handled by our payment processing partners.

7. International Data Transfers

7.3 By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data outside Pakistan where necessary for the provision of the Platform's services.

- Account data: Retained for the duration of the account relationship and for a minimum period following account closure as required by applicable AML and gaming regulatory frameworks.

13. Pakistan-Specific Notes
13.1 Pakistani data protection law, including the Personal Data Protection Bill (at varying stages of legislative progress), may impose specific rights and obligations regarding personal data. Where Pakistani law applies to the processing of your data and sets a higher standard of protection than that described in this Policy, z5555 will apply those higher standards to the extent practicable.
13.2 z5555 is not affiliated with, endorsed by or registered with the Government of Pakistan, PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority), State Bank of Pakistan, SECP or any provincial government body. This Policy is not a representation of compliance with any specific Pakistani regulatory regime.
13.3 Users in Pakistan may share personal data with z5555 at their own discretion. It is your responsibility to understand the applicable legal framework in your jurisdiction. This Policy does not constitute legal advice.
