zm77 Privacy Policy

zm77 ("zm77", "we", "us" or "our") operates the online gaming information platform located at https://zm77.cam. We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all users ("you", "your") who access or interact with our Platform. This Privacy Policy has been prepared to help you understand our data practices clearly and transparently.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data we collect through your use of the zm77 website, including through direct interactions, automated data collection methods and any correspondence you initiate with us. It does not apply to personal data you provide directly to third-party gaming Operators whose platforms or promotions may be referenced on zm77 — those entities maintain their own privacy policies and data practices for which zm77 bears no responsibility.

zm77 is an information and entertainment platform. We do not operate a casino, bookmaker or online gaming service, and we do not accept player deposits or process financial transactions. Our data collection is therefore significantly more limited than that of a full gaming Operator. Nevertheless, we take data privacy seriously and maintain appropriate safeguards for all data we do handle.

By using the zm77 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how your data is handled. If you do not agree with our data practices as described in this Policy, please discontinue use of the Platform.

Throughout this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:

• "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, email address, IP address, device identifiers and usage data.
• "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, transmission, deletion and any other handling.
• "Data Controller" means zm77, which determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data collected through the Platform.
• "Data Processor" means any third party that processes Personal Data on behalf of zm77 pursuant to a contractual arrangement.
• "User" means any individual who accesses, browses or otherwise uses the zm77 Platform.
• "Cookies" means small text files placed on a User's device by a website to store information about that User's browsing session and preferences.
• "Operator" means any third-party gaming company, bookmaker or casino whose products or services may be referenced or described on the Platform.
• "Sensitive Data" means categories of Personal Data that warrant heightened protection, including but not limited to financial information, identity documents, health data and data relating to minors.
• "Applicable Law" means all laws, regulations and judicial decisions governing data protection, privacy and related matters applicable to zm77's operations and/or to the User in their jurisdiction.

zm77 collects different categories of data depending on how you interact with the Platform. The categories below describe the data we may collect and the circumstances in which each arises.

zm77 collects Personal Data through the following channels and mechanisms:

4.1 Direct Interactions

Data you provide voluntarily when contacting zm77 via email at [email protected] or through any contact functionality on the Platform. This includes your name, email address and the content of your correspondence.

4.2 Automated Technical Collection

When you visit the zm77 Platform, certain technical data is collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure and analytics systems. This includes your IP address, browser identifier, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages accessed and timestamps of visits. This data is collected through standard web server log functionality and, where deployed, analytics scripts.

4.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

zm77 may use cookies, web beacons and similar tracking technologies to enhance Platform performance and gather aggregate usage information. Full details of our cookie practices are set out in Section 8 of this Policy. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.

4.4 Third-Party Analytics Services

zm77 may use third-party web analytics services to help understand how users interact with the Platform. Such services collect usage data on our behalf and are subject to their own privacy practices. zm77 does not grant analytics providers authority to use data collected on our behalf for their own independent purposes.

zm77 processes Personal Data only where a valid legal basis exists for doing so. The primary legal bases on which zm77 relies for processing activities are as follows:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing of Technical Data and Usage Data for the purposes of maintaining Platform security, preventing fraudulent or abusive access, analysing aggregate usage patterns to improve Platform content, and operating the Platform efficiently. zm77 has conducted a balancing assessment and considers that processing for these purposes is within Users' reasonable expectations of operating a public website.
• Consent: Where zm77 deploys non-essential cookies or analytics tracking beyond basic server logs, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing. You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time.
• Contractual Necessity: Where you contact zm77 for support, we process your Contact Data to the extent necessary to respond to your enquiry and maintain a record of our correspondence.
• Legal Obligation: Where applicable law requires zm77 to retain or disclose data — for example in response to a valid legal order from a competent authority — we will comply to the extent required by law, subject to legal review.

zm77 does not process Personal Data on the basis of automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects for individual Users.

zm77 uses the Personal Data we collect for the following specific purposes:

• Platform Operation: To deliver, maintain and improve the zm77 website and all content thereon;
• Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate and prevent unauthorised access, abusive conduct or security threats affecting the Platform;
• Support and Communications: To respond to enquiries, feedback submissions and support requests you direct to zm77;
• Analytics and Performance: To understand aggregate user behaviour, identify popular content areas and improve the overall Platform experience — using anonymised or aggregated data where possible;
• Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations applicable to zm77, including responding to valid legal requests from competent authorities;
• Platform Integrity: To enforce compliance with our Terms & Conditions and to protect zm77's legal interests where necessary.

We do not use your Personal Data to: send unsolicited marketing communications without consent; sell, license or otherwise transfer your data to third parties for their own marketing purposes; build individual user profiles for targeted advertising; or share data with payment providers, gaming Operators or sports leagues referenced on the Platform — those entities maintain entirely separate data relationships with their own users.

zm77 does not sell your Personal Data. We do not share Personal Data with third parties except in the limited circumstances described in this section.

7.1 Service Providers and Data Processors

zm77 may engage third-party service providers who process data on our behalf — for example hosting providers, content delivery networks and analytics services. Such providers are contractually required to process data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection law. They may not use data for their own independent commercial purposes.

7.2 Legal Disclosure

zm77 may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law or in response to a valid, binding legal order, court order or regulatory request from a competent authority. We will endeavour, where legally permitted, to notify affected Users of any such disclosure.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event that zm77 undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of assets, Personal Data held by zm77 may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any material change in data controller identity through a prominent notice on the Platform and, where Contact Data is available, by direct communication.

7.4 Protection of Rights

zm77 may disclose data where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the legal rights, property or safety of zm77, our Users or the public — for example in connection with fraud prevention, investigation of illegal activity, or enforcement of our Terms & Conditions.

Cookies are small data files placed on your device by websites you visit. zm77 uses cookies and similar technologies to enable certain Platform functions and to gather aggregate usage information. This section describes the categories of cookies zm77 may use.

8.1 Essential Cookies

Strictly necessary for the basic operation of the Platform — for example, session management and security tokens. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing fundamental Platform functionality. No consent is required for essential cookies under applicable law.

8.2 Analytics Cookies

Used to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the Platform — including pages viewed, time spent on page, referral sources and navigation paths. This information helps zm77 understand content performance and make improvements. These cookies are deployed on the basis of legitimate interests or, where required by applicable law, consent.

8.3 Preference Cookies

Store user preferences such as language settings or content display preferences to improve your experience on return visits. These cookies hold no sensitive personal information.

8.4 Managing Cookie Preferences

You can control cookie settings through your browser at any time. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Note that blocking certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Browser settings for common browsers are typically accessible through the browser's settings or preferences menu under a "Privacy" or "Security" section.

zm77 does not use cookies to deliver targeted advertising, build individual marketing profiles or track Users across unaffiliated third-party websites.

zm77 retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or for as long as required by applicable law, whichever is longer. Our general retention principles are as follows:

• Contact and Communications Data — retained for the duration of your query and for a reasonable period thereafter (typically up to 24 months) to maintain a record of the matter and address any follow-up queries;
• Technical and Usage Data — retained in server logs typically for up to 12 months from collection, after which it is deleted or anonymised;
• Analytics Data — aggregate analytics data may be retained for longer periods in anonymised form that cannot be used to identify individual users;
• Legal Compliance Data — where applicable law imposes a minimum retention period, zm77 will retain data for at least that period;
• Cookie Data — session cookies are deleted when your browser session ends; persistent cookies are retained for the period specified in the cookie setting, typically no longer than 13 months.

When data is no longer required, zm77 deletes or anonymises it using appropriate technical means. Deletion requests from Users (see Section 11) will be processed within applicable legal timeframes, subject to any overriding retention obligations.

zm77 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. Our security measures include:

• HTTPS encryption across all Platform pages using current TLS protocol standards;
• Access controls limiting data access to personnel with a legitimate need;
• Regular review of our security practices and hosting environment;
• Pseudonymisation and anonymisation of data where technically feasible and appropriate;
• Prompt investigation and response procedures in the event of a suspected data security incident.

Whilst zm77 takes data security seriously, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. You use the Platform at your own risk and are encouraged to take reasonable precautions on your own device — including maintaining up-to-date software and avoiding use of shared or public computers for sensitive browsing activity.

In the event of a data security incident that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of Users, zm77 will notify affected Users and relevant authorities as required by applicable data protection law.

Subject to applicable law and certain conditions and limitations, you may have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by zm77. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 16.

zm77 will respond to all valid rights requests within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable law — typically within 30 calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, with notice to you of the extension and reason.

Please note that some rights are not absolute and may be limited by competing legal obligations or overriding legitimate interests. zm77 will explain any such limitation clearly where it applies to your specific request.

If zm77 becomes aware that it has collected Personal Data from a minor without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such data from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided Personal Data to zm77, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will investigate and, where confirmed, delete the relevant data promptly.

Age verification for access to gaming-related information is the responsibility of parents and guardians as well as the individual user. zm77 encourages parents and guardians to make use of parental controls available on devices and through internet service providers to prevent underage access to online gaming information platforms.

zm77 may contain references to, or descriptive information about, third-party gaming Operators and their platforms. zm77 does not control the data practices, privacy policies or security measures of any third-party Operator or service. This Privacy Policy applies solely to zm77's own data collection and processing activities.

If you navigate to a third-party Operator's platform — whether through information found on zm77 or independently — your interactions with that platform are governed entirely by the Operator's own privacy policy and terms of service. zm77 strongly recommends that you read the privacy policy of any third-party platform before providing any Personal Data or financial information.

zm77 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party, regardless of whether that third party is referenced or described on the Platform. The mention of payment providers such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah on zm77 does not create any data-sharing relationship between zm77 and those entities.

zm77 is accessible from Pakistan and from other jurisdictions. The data zm77 collects may be stored on servers located outside of Pakistan. Where Personal Data is transferred to a country that does not provide an equivalent level of data protection to the jurisdiction in which it was collected, zm77 will implement appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses or other recognised transfer mechanisms — to ensure that your data receives adequate protection in transit and at rest.

zm77 acknowledges that Pakistan's Personal Data Protection Bill and related regulatory developments are evolving. zm77 monitors applicable data protection requirements and will update its practices as requirements become clearer and legally binding standards are established.

zm77 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or Platform functionality. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, zm77 may provide additional notice through a prominent banner on the Platform.

Your continued use of the zm77 Platform after any changes to this Policy have been posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If you have any questions about changes to this Policy, please contact us using the details in Section 16.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to zm77's data practices — including requests to exercise your data rights under Section 11 — please contact us using the details below. zm77 will acknowledge receipt of all privacy-related enquiries and endeavour to provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days.
