PinasGame Privacy Policy: How We Protect Your Data

1. Scope and applicability

This PinasGame Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected, stored, used, or shared when you visit the PinasGame website, create or access an account, deposit funds, place a wager, participate in a promotion, contact support, or use any other feature available through PinasGame.

By using PinasGame, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the service and, if applicable, close your account by contacting support.

This policy should be read alongside the PinasGame Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming information. In the event of a conflict, the Terms and Conditions prevail for contractual matters while this Privacy Policy governs data processing.

2. Personal data we collect from Filipino players

PinasGame collects personal data in several ways — directly from you during registration and verification, automatically when you use the platform, and in some cases from third-party sources needed to verify your identity or process payments.

PinasGame does not collect special categories of personal data such as medical, racial, religious, or political information unless legally required for a specific compliance obligation.

3. Why PinasGame processes your personal data

Every piece of data PinasGame processes has a defined purpose. We do not collect information "just in case" — everything on that list is there for a reason that directly supports the service you use or an obligation we must meet.

• Account creation and maintenance: To register your PinasGame account, store your preferences, and allow you to log in securely.
• Identity and age verification: To confirm you are who you say you are and that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old.
• Payment processing: To receive deposits and send withdrawals through GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay, PESONet, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, or eligible Visa and Mastercard bank cards.
• Fraud and security prevention: To detect suspicious login attempts, duplicate accounts, payment fraud, and manipulation of games or markets.
• Regulatory compliance: To meet anti-money-laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and other applicable Philippine legal requirements.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor patterns that may indicate harmful gambling behaviour and apply account limits where appropriate.
• Customer support: To respond to queries, resolve disputes, and improve service quality based on feedback.
• Service improvement: To analyse platform usage, fix technical issues, and develop new features.
• Marketing (with consent): To send promotional offers, bonus alerts, and PinasGame updates where you have opted in.

4. Legal basis for processing under Philippine law

Under the Data Privacy Act of the Philippines (Republic Act 10173), PinasGame must have a lawful basis before processing your personal information. Depending on the activity, PinasGame relies on one or more of the following:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to open your account, accept your wagers, and complete your payments.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with AML, KYC, age verification, and other applicable laws and regulations.
• Legitimate interest: Processing for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform integrity — provided these interests do not override your rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional personalisation — you may withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.

5. When and how PinasGame shares your data

PinasGame does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share specific information only with the categories of recipients listed below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

• Payment service providers: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay and PESONet networks, and licensed card acquirers receive the minimum data needed to process your transactions securely.
• Identity and KYC verification services: Third-party providers that confirm your identity documents, liveness, and address information as part of the verification process.
• Game and sports data providers: Technology partners that supply live casino streams, slot game engines, and sports event data. They operate under strict data handling agreements.
• Fraud prevention and security services: Partners that help PinasGame detect and block account takeover, payment fraud, and collusion.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: Government agencies, law enforcement, courts, or regulators where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable Philippine law.
• Group companies: Related entities within the PinasGame corporate group for internal administration, security, and compliance purposes.

All third-party partners who receive personal data are required to protect it with appropriate technical and organisational measures and to use it only for the purposes we specify.

6. Payment processing and KYC data

Because PinasGame handles real-money transactions in Philippine pesos, we are required to follow anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer standards. This means we may ask for additional documentation at certain thresholds or in response to unusual activity — not to make things difficult for you, but because the law requires it.

Payment details such as your GCash registered number, Maya account reference, or masked bank card number are stored only as long as necessary for the transaction history, dispute resolution, and regulatory retention periods. Full card numbers are never stored on PinasGame servers — they are tokenised by the relevant payment network.

If you submit identity documents for KYC, those documents are transmitted over encrypted connections and stored in a secure environment with access controls. They are used only for verification, fraud prevention, and legal compliance purposes.

7. Cookies, session data, and tracking technologies

PinasGame uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the service. Some of these are essential — without them, basic features like staying logged in would not function. Others are optional and help us improve the experience.

• Essential cookies: Required for authentication, session management, security tokens, and core platform functionality. These cannot be disabled without breaking the service.
• Functional cookies: Remember your language, preferred payment method, and display settings across visits.
• Analytics cookies: Help PinasGame understand which pages are visited most, where players experience friction, and which features to improve. Data is aggregated and not linked to individual identities.
• Security and fraud-prevention cookies: Detect unusual patterns such as repeated failed logins, location anomalies, or suspicious device changes.

You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, but this may affect how PinasGame works for you. PinasGame does not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioural tracking across external websites.

8. How long PinasGame keeps your personal data

PinasGame keeps your data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward, consistent with legal, regulatory, and operational requirements. Specific retention periods depend on the type of information.

• Account and identity data: Retained for the life of your account plus a legally required period after closure — typically five to seven years under Philippine AML and record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction and gaming records: Retained for at least five years to support dispute resolution, regulatory inspection, and fraud investigation.
• Support communications: Retained for a period proportionate to the complexity of the matter, typically one to three years.
• Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account, whichever comes first.
• Technical and device logs: Retained for up to twelve months unless a longer period is needed for an ongoing investigation.

When data is no longer required, PinasGame deletes or anonymises it in a controlled and documented manner.

9. How we keep your data secure

PinasGame takes data security seriously. We apply technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information and the risk of unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

• All connections between your device and PinasGame are protected by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.
• Sensitive data at rest — including identity documents, financial records, and account credentials — is encrypted in storage.
• Access to personal data is restricted to PinasGame staff and systems that genuinely need it for their function.
• Staff who handle personal data receive privacy and security training and are subject to confidentiality obligations.
• We conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and access reviews.
• Suspicious activity monitoring runs continuously on account and payment systems.

No system is completely immune to attack, but PinasGame maintains incident response procedures and will notify affected players and relevant authorities within the required timeframes if a serious data breach occurs.

10. Your data rights under Philippine law

As a Filipino data subject under Republic Act 10173, you have specific rights regarding your personal information held by PinasGame. Here is what you are entitled to and how to exercise each right.

• Right to be informed: You have the right to know what personal data PinasGame holds about you, how it is used, and with whom it is shared. This Privacy Policy is the primary source of that information.
• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data PinasGame has collected about you. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
• Right to rectification: If your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it. Update basic details directly through your account settings or contact support for information that requires assisted correction.
• Right to erasure: You may ask PinasGame to delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary, where you withdraw consent, or where it was processed unlawfully — subject to legal retention obligations.
• Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing. Once you object to marketing, we will stop sending promotional communications promptly.
• Right to data portability: Where technically feasible and legally permitted, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe PinasGame has mishandled your personal data, you may raise a concern with our support team. You also have the right to escalate to the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

To exercise any of the above rights, contact PinasGame through the support channels listed in Section 13 below. Please provide your registered email address and a clear description of your request. We may ask for identity verification before processing sensitive requests.

11. PinasGame and the protection of minors

PinasGame is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from individuals who are under 21 years old. Age verification is a required step before full account access is granted.

If PinasGame becomes aware that an account was created by or is being used by an underage person, that account will be suspended immediately. Any funds deposited may be returned to the source payment method after applicable checks, and the personal data associated with the account will be handled according to legal and responsible gaming requirements.

If you suspect a minor has registered or is using a PinasGame account, please report this through the support channels in Section 13.

12. Changes to this PinasGame Privacy Policy

PinasGame may update this Privacy Policy when the service changes, new legal requirements apply, security practices evolve, or when player feedback reveals that clearer explanations are needed. The effective date shown at the top of the document will be updated whenever a material revision is published.

For significant changes, PinasGame may notify you directly through your registered email address or by displaying a notice on the platform when you next log in. Continuing to use PinasGame after an updated Privacy Policy has been published means you have reviewed and accepted the revised terms.

If you disagree with a change, stop using the service and contact support to discuss closing your account and withdrawing any available balance, subject to outstanding checks and the Terms and Conditions.
