10. Children's Privacy

zg88 is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under 18 years of age.

If you believe a minor has registered on zg88, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt action. zg88 uses age verification procedures at registration and may request identity documentation to confirm age at any point.

11. International Transfers

As an internationally operated platform serving users from Pakistan and other jurisdictions, zg88 may transfer personal data to servers or service providers located in countries other than your country of residence. Where such transfers occur, zg88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including contractual obligations on receiving parties equivalent to the protections described in this Policy.

By using zg88, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred, stored, and processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. Such transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection principles under our licensing framework.
