pkzz Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

pkzz operates an online casino and sports betting platform accessible at pkzz.asia, serving players primarily located in Pakistan. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, pkzz is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when you register an account, make a deposit or withdrawal, interact with customer support, or otherwise use the platform.

pkzz takes its obligations regarding your personal data seriously. This Policy has been written to be clear and straightforward — not buried in legal jargon — so that every player in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan can understand exactly what data we hold and why we hold it.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Registration Data

When you create a pkzz account, we collect the following information:

• Full name as it appears on your national identity card (CNIC)
• Date of birth (to verify the 18+ age requirement)
• Pakistani mobile number (used for OTP verification and account communication)
• Email address (if provided during registration)
• Username and password (password is stored as a one-way hash — never in plain text)
• Residential city and country

2.2 Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with responsible gaming obligations and to verify your identity before processing larger withdrawals, pkzz may request:

• A copy of your CNIC (front and back)
• A selfie photograph for liveness verification
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement issued to your address)
• Proof of payment method (screenshot of JazzCash or Easypaisa account showing your name and mobile number)

2.3 Transaction Data

We collect records of all deposits, withdrawals, bonus claims, and bet settlements made through your pkzz account. This includes transaction amounts in PKR, payment method identifiers (e.g., the last four digits of a card or the registered mobile number of a JazzCash account), timestamps, and transaction statuses.

2.4 Usage & Technical Data

When you access pkzz, our systems automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, pages visited, session duration, and referring URL. This data is used for security, fraud prevention, and platform optimisation — not for profiling individual players for advertising purposes.

2.5 Customer Support Communications

If you contact pkzz customer support via live chat or email, we retain a record of the communication — including any personal data you provide in the course of raising a query or complaint — for the purpose of resolving the issue and maintaining a complaint history.

3. How We Use Your Data

pkzz uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your pkzz account, processing your login, and enabling access to platform features.
• Payment processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank transfer, and other supported payment methods.
• Identity verification: Confirming that you meet the 18+ age requirement and verifying your identity in compliance with KYC obligations.
• Fraud prevention and security: Monitoring login activity, detecting anomalous transactions, and preventing the use of the platform for money laundering or other financial crimes.
• Responsible gaming: Applying self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, and account restrictions where you or our responsible gaming team has requested them.
• Customer support: Responding to your queries, complaints, and support requests.
• Legal compliance: Meeting obligations under applicable laws, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
• Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the pkzz user experience, fix technical issues, and optimise game and payment performance.
• Communications: Sending you account-related notifications such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and important policy changes. Marketing communications are only sent where you have opted in and can be unsubscribed at any time.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

pkzz processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to perform the contract between you and pkzz — including account management, payment processing, and delivering gaming services.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering regulations, age verification requirements, and responding to lawful authority requests.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and anonymised analytics, where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional personalisation features, where you have given explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting pkzz support.

5. Payment Data

pkzz does not store full card numbers, CVV codes, or full JazzCash/Easypaisa PINs on its own systems. Payment transactions are processed through third-party payment processors who maintain their own security certifications. pkzz retains only transaction reference numbers, masked payment identifiers (e.g., last four digits of a card, or the mobile number linked to a wallet), transaction amounts, and timestamps — the minimum necessary for account management and dispute resolution.

All payment data held by pkzz is encrypted at rest using industry-standard algorithms. Access to payment records is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

6.1 What Cookies pkzz Uses

pkzz uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide a functional and secure platform experience. The categories of cookies used are:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for authentication, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and preferred payment method display order.
• Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about page visits and platform usage to help pkzz understand how players interact with the site and identify technical issues. These do not identify you personally.

6.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of your pkzz session.

7. Data Sharing

pkzz does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: Transaction data is shared with payment service providers (such as JazzCash, Easypaisa, and bank gateway partners) solely to process your deposits and withdrawals.
• Game software providers: Certain game providers receive a session token and anonymised player identifier to deliver game content and record game outcomes. No personally identifiable data is shared beyond what is operationally necessary.
• Identity verification services: KYC data (CNIC copies, selfies) may be processed by third-party identity verification partners operating under strict data processing agreements with pkzz.
• Legal authorities: pkzz may disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts where required by applicable law or valid legal process.
• Business successors: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

All third-party data processors engaged by pkzz are required to handle data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and are prohibited from using pkzz player data for their own purposes.

8. Data Retention

pkzz retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and our legitimate business interests. Specifically:

• Account registration data is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, to comply with anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction.
• Customer support communications are retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction.
• KYC documents are retained for five (5) years following account closure or the completion of the relevant transaction, whichever is later.

After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

9. Security

pkzz implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and pkzz servers
• Encryption of sensitive data fields (including passwords and KYC documents) at rest
• Two-factor authentication available for all account holders
• Automated anomaly detection for login attempts and financial transactions
• Access controls restricting internal staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing of platform infrastructure

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 your rights and freedoms, pkzz will notify affected players and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

10. Your Rights

As a pkzz account holder, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data pkzz holds about you at any time.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held in your account.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that pkzz limits the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about accuracy is resolved.
• Right to data portability: You may request your account data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact pkzz at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link) with the subject line "Data Rights Request". We will respond within 30 days. Identity verification will be required before processing a data rights request.

11. Children's Privacy

pkzz is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account or submitted personal data, the account will be closed immediately, all data will be deleted, and any balance will be forfeited. If you believe a minor has registered with pkzz, please contact us at [email protected] (plain text only) immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

12. Changes to This Policy

pkzz may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via their registered mobile number or by placing a prominent notice on the pkzz website. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of pkzz following notification of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
