Privacy Policy — How jz496 Collects, Uses & Protects Your Data

1 Introduction

jz496 ("the Platform") is an online betting and casino service operated for players in Bangladesh. This Privacy Policy explains how jz496 collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information obtained from players, prospective players, and visitors to jz496.io. It applies to all services provided through the Platform, including sports betting, live casino, slots, and customer support interactions.

jz496 is committed to handling personal data with integrity, discretion, and full transparency. We collect only the data that is genuinely necessary to deliver our services, verify player identity, process payments, and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for marketing purposes under any circumstances.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the jz496 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which form part of the overall agreement governing your use of the Platform. The Terms & Conditions describe how personal data may be used in the context of account management and responsible gaming enforcement.

2 Data We Collect

jz496 collects the following categories of personal data from players and Platform visitors. We collect only what is necessary for the specific purposes described in Section 4 of this policy.

2.1 Identity Data

Full legal name, date of birth, gender, nationality, and copies of government-issued identification documents such as the National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence submitted during the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process.

2.2 Contact Data

Email address, mobile phone number, and residential address (including city, district, and postal code). For players in Bangladesh, this typically includes addresses in cities such as Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar.

2.3 Account Data

Username, encrypted account password, account registration date, account status, preferred language settings, and communication preferences stored within the jz496 Platform.

2.4 Financial Data

Payment method details including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay mobile wallet identifiers; bank account references for Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, and BRAC Bank transfers; and masked card numbers for Visa and Mastercard transactions. Full card numbers and payment PINs are never stored by jz496 — these are handled exclusively by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

2.5 Transaction Data

Records of all deposits, withdrawals, bonus claims, bet placements, bet settlements, casino game rounds played, and account balance adjustments. All transaction amounts are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳).

2.6 Technical Data

IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type and model, screen resolution, time zone (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6), session duration, pages visited, and referral source. This data is collected automatically when you access jz496.io.

2.7 Behavioural Data

Betting patterns, game preferences, wagering frequency, session length, responsible gaming tool usage (deposit limits, time-out activations, self-exclusion requests), and in-platform navigation behaviour. This data helps jz496 identify signs of problem gambling and improve the overall player experience.

2.8 Communications Data

Records of all correspondence between you and the jz496 support team, including chat transcripts, email exchanges, and any formal complaints or dispute submissions.

3 How We Collect Your Data

jz496 collects personal data through the following channels:

• Direct registration: Data you provide when creating a jz496 account, including your name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number.
• Identity verification (KYC): Documents you submit when completing the mandatory age and identity verification process.
• Deposits and withdrawals: Payment details captured when you initiate a financial transaction via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or a bank or card method.
• Platform activity: Betting and gaming data collected automatically as you use jz496 services.
• Cookies and tracking technologies: Technical and behavioural data collected via browser cookies, local storage, and web analytics tools when you visit jz496.io. See Section 7 for full details.
• Customer support interactions: Data you share when contacting jz496 support via email or live chat.
• Third-party sources: Identity verification and fraud-prevention data received from our KYC service providers and payment processors, used solely to verify information you have already provided to us.

4 Purpose of Processing

jz496 processes personal data for the following specific, legitimate purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond those listed here without first obtaining your explicit consent.

5 Legal Basis for Processing

jz496 processes personal data on the following legal bases, each of which is described in plain terms below:

• Contract performance: Processing is necessary to fulfil jz496's contractual obligations to you as a registered player — for example, processing your deposits, settling your bets, and managing your account.
• Legal obligation: Processing is required by applicable law — for example, performing KYC identity checks, retaining financial transaction records, and reporting suspicious activity in accordance with anti-money laundering obligations.
• Legitimate interest: Processing is necessary for jz496's legitimate business interests — for example, detecting fraud, preventing bonus abuse, monitoring for signs of problem gambling, and improving Platform performance — provided those interests are not overridden by your own rights and interests.
• Consent: Where jz496 relies on your consent — for example, to send you promotional emails or push notifications about bonuses and new games — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or contacting support at support at jz496.io.

6 Data Sharing & Disclosure

jz496 does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Data is shared only in the following limited, necessary circumstances:

6.1 Payment Processors

Financial data is shared with our payment processing partners — including the operators of bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay mobile money services, and the banking infrastructure providers for Visa and Mastercard transactions — solely to facilitate the processing of deposits and withdrawals. These processors are contractually bound to use your data only for this purpose and to maintain appropriate security standards.

6.2 KYC and Identity Verification Providers

Identity data and KYC documents are shared with specialist third-party identity verification service providers to perform age and identity checks. These providers process data under strict data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your information for any purpose other than identity verification on behalf of jz496.

6.3 Game Providers

When you play a casino game supplied by Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, or Ezugi, a session identifier and a pseudonymous player reference are shared with the relevant game provider's technical infrastructure to enable game play. Full personal identity data is not transmitted to game providers as part of normal game session activity.

6.4 Fraud Prevention and AML

In cases of suspected fraud, money laundering, or other financial crime, jz496 may share relevant account and transaction data with specialist fraud prevention services or with relevant authorities as required by law. jz496 will not notify a player of such a disclosure where doing so would compromise an ongoing investigation or violate a legal prohibition on tipping off.

6.5 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

jz496 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, or other government bodies where required to do so by a valid legal order, court order, or regulatory direction. In all such cases jz496 will disclose only the minimum data necessary to satisfy the legal requirement.

6.6 Business Transfers

In the event that jz496 undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, personal data held by jz496 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Players will be notified of any such transfer via the email address associated with their account prior to the transfer taking effect, and the receiving entity will be required to honour this Privacy Policy.

7 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

jz496 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on jz496.io to operate the Platform effectively, improve user experience, and analyse how the site is used. The following categories of cookies are in use:

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent certain Platform features from functioning correctly, including the ability to log in to your jz496 account. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the Platform but may reduce the quality of your experience.

8 Data Retention

jz496 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of the account relationship and for a minimum of 5 years following account closure, to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
• Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the transaction in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements.
• KYC verification documents: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of submission or account closure, whichever is later.
• Betting and gaming activity logs: Retained for a minimum of 3 years from the date of the activity, for dispute resolution and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.
• Customer support records: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last interaction, or longer if the interaction is related to a formal complaint or legal dispute.
• Marketing communication preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or request erasure, and for 1 year thereafter as proof of consent management.
• Technical and analytics data: Retained in aggregate, anonymised form indefinitely; individually identifiable technical data deleted or anonymised within 13 months of collection.

Where retention beyond these periods is required to satisfy a specific legal obligation — for example, in connection with an ongoing investigation, litigation, or regulatory inquiry — data will be retained until that obligation is discharged.

9 Data Security

jz496 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our key security controls include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and jz496.io is encrypted in transit using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. The padlock icon in your browser confirms this encryption is active.
• Password hashing: Account passwords are stored using a one-way cryptographic hashing algorithm with a unique salt per account. jz496 staff cannot retrieve your password in plain text under any circumstances.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within jz496's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access to player data are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.
• Secure data storage: All personal data is stored on servers protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security patching. Physical access to server infrastructure is strictly controlled.
• Fraud and anomaly detection: jz496 employs automated systems to monitor account activity for signs of unauthorised access, credential stuffing, and other security threats. Suspicious activity triggers immediate account review.
• Payment security: jz496 does not store full card numbers or payment PINs. Card payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment processors.

While jz496 takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, jz496 will notify affected players and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements, without undue delay.

11 Children's Privacy

Age verification is performed as part of the account registration and KYC process.

If jz496 discovers or is notified that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21 years of age, the relevant account will be suspended immediately, the data will be reviewed, and steps will be taken to delete it as swiftly as possible in accordance with our legal obligations. Any funds held in an underage player's account will be handled in accordance with the jz496 Terms & Conditions.

If you believe that a minor may have registered an account on jz496.io, please contact us immediately at support at jz496.io. We take child protection obligations extremely seriously and will act without delay.

12 Third-Party Links

jz496.io may contain links to the web-based interfaces of third-party game providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Spribe) and to payment service landing pages (such as bKash and Nagad).
