PhilBingo Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

1 Introduction

Welcome to the PhilBingo Privacy Policy. PhilBingo is an online gaming platform designed for players in the Philippines, accessible at https://philbingo.best. We understand that sharing your personal details online requires trust, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, who we might share it with, and what rights you have over your own data. This policy applies to all users of the PhilBingo website, mobile site, and any related apps or tools we offer.

We operate in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Every Kabayan who plays on PhilBingo deserves to know exactly how their data is being handled — and this document is our commitment to full transparency.

3 How We Use Your Personal Data

PhilBingo uses your personal information for the following purposes — and nothing beyond what's described here without your explicit consent:

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your PhilBingo account, verifying your identity, and managing your preferences
• Service delivery: Processing deposits and withdrawals, crediting bonuses, enabling gameplay, and delivering customer support
• Regulatory compliance: Meeting PAGCOR licensing requirements, Anti-Money Laundering (AMLA) obligations, and KYC obligations

• Responsible gaming: Monitoring for signs of problem gambling and enabling access to self-exclusion or limit-setting tools
• Communications: Sending account notifications, security alerts, transaction confirmations, and — with your consent — promotional offers
• Platform improvement: Analysing anonymised usage data to improve games, features, and the overall player experience

We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, the performance of a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interest in operating a safe and fair gaming platform.

4 Sharing Your Data With Third Parties

PhilBingo does not sell your personal data. However, to operate effectively, we work with a limited set of trusted third-party service providers and regulatory bodies. Here's who may have access to your data and why:

• Payment processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay/PESONet partner banks, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard networks — strictly for processing transactions
• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC and AML screening services used to verify documents and screen against watchlists
• Game providers: Software providers such as JILI and other gaming studios may receive anonymised game session data for technical purposes
• IT and security vendors: Cloud hosting, cybersecurity, and analytics tools used to keep the platform running securely
• Regulatory authorities: PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), National Privacy Commission (NPC), and law enforcement when required by law

All third-party partners are contractually required to handle your data in compliance with applicable Philippine data protection laws and to use your information only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.

5 Data Security Measures

Protecting your personal information is something we invest heavily in. PhilBingo applies multiple layers of security to keep your data safe:

• TLS/SSL encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security
• Secure data storage: Personal data is stored in encrypted databases with strict access controls — only authorised personnel can access sensitive information
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): Available for your PhilBingo account to add an extra layer of protection at login
• Regular security audits: Our systems undergo periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
• Incident response: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we follow a defined incident response protocol. Affected users and the NPC will be notified within 72 hours as required by law

While we apply industry-leading security practices, please remember that no system is 100% immune to risk. You also play a role in keeping your account safe — use a strong, unique password, enable 2FA, and never share your login details with anyone, even people you trust.
