4. Legal Basis for Processing

• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable AML, KYC, and regulatory requirements;

• Consent: Where you have provided explicit consent for specific processing activities, such as optional marketing communications.

5. KYC & Identity Verification Data

zh888 is required to verify the identity of its users before processing withdrawal requests and when account activity triggers enhanced due diligence thresholds. KYC verification on zh888 typically requires submission of a valid Pakistani CNIC or passport and may also require proof of residential address and source of funds.

KYC documents submitted to zh888 are reviewed by the zh888 compliance team and, where applicable, by regulated third-party identity verification service providers. These documents are stored securely and retained for the period required by applicable regulatory obligations. Access to KYC documentation is restricted to authorised compliance personnel only.

zh888 will not use your CNIC or identity documentation for any purpose other than identity verification, age confirmation, regulatory compliance, and fraud prevention.

6. Payment Data

zh888 processes payment transactions in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) via JazzCash, Easypaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, USDT TRC20, and Skrill. Payment processing is handled through our integration with these payment providers. zh888 does not store full payment credentials (such as full bank account numbers or wallet PINs) on its own servers.

Payment transaction records including amounts, dates, and payment method references are retained in your zh888 account history and in our financial records for the periods required by applicable accounting and regulatory obligations. These records may be accessed by zh888 compliance staff in the event of a dispute, withdrawal query, or regulatory investigation.
