This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how zg88 ("we", "us", "the Platform", "zg88") collects, processes, stores, and protects personal data belonging to users ("you", "the Player") of the zg88 website at zg88.bid and all associated gaming services. By creating a zg88 account or accessing any part of our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are integral to your agreement with zg88.

Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data zg88 holds about you, along with information about how it is used and with whom it is shared. We will respond to access requests within 30 days.
Right to Rectification
If any personal data held by zg88 is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Account details such as your registered mobile number can often be updated directly via your account settings.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that zg88 delete your personal data. Please note that this right is subject to limitations where data retention is required by law or our licensing obligations — particularly AML and KYC records, which must be retained for a minimum period regardless of erasure requests.
Right to Restriction
You may request that zg88 restrict the processing of your personal data in specific circumstances — for example, whilst the accuracy of data is being contested, or where you have objected to processing pending verification of our legitimate grounds.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where processing is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests. You also have an unconditional right to object to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
11.2 zg88 will not charge a fee for the exercise of data rights requests in ordinary circumstances. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, or to refuse to comply with such requests in those circumstances.
