What Information We Collect and Why

Account and Identity Data

When you register on ah88 ph, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a government-issued ID for identity verification purposes. This information is required to comply with Philippine regulations on online gaming and to confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years. We also collect your username, password (stored in encrypted form), and any profile preferences you set within your account. If you update your account details at any time, the revised information replaces the previous record and is subject to the same protections. We do not collect more personal information than is necessary to operate your account and fulfil our legal obligations under Philippine law.

Payment and Transaction Data

To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, we collect payment method details such as your GCash or Maya account reference, bank account name, and transaction identifiers. We do not store full card numbers or complete banking credentials on our servers — payment processing is handled through secure, regulated payment gateways that operate in the Philippines. Every transaction you make is logged with a timestamp, amount, method, and status so that we can resolve disputes and provide accurate account statements. This transaction history is retained for the period required by Philippine financial regulations and is accessible to you through your account dashboard. Payment data is never shared with third parties for marketing or profiling purposes.

Device and Usage Data

When you access our platform, we automatically collect technical information including your device type, operating system, browser version, IP address, and general location data derived from your network connection. We also record which pages you visit, how long you spend on each section, and which features you interact with, in order to improve platform performance and user experience. This data helps us identify and fix technical issues quickly, especially for Filipino players accessing the platform on mobile devices. Usage data is analysed in aggregate form and is not used to build individual profiles for advertising purposes. You can limit certain types of data collection by adjusting your browser or device privacy settings, though some features may not function fully if you do so.

Communications and Support Data

If you contact our support team, submit a complaint, or respond to any platform survey, we retain the content of those communications along with your contact details and the date of the interaction. This record allows us to track the progress of your query, ensure consistent follow-up, and improve the quality of our customer service for all players in the Philippines. Support conversations may be reviewed internally for training and quality assurance purposes, but they are not shared externally. If you opt in to receive promotional messages or platform updates, we store your communication preferences and honour any opt-out request you make at any time. You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by updating your account notification settings.

How Your Information Is Used

We use your data only for the purposes listed below. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial gain.

Account Operations

Your personal data is used to create and maintain your account, verify your identity, process your transactions, and provide access to all platform features. Without this data, we cannot operate your account or ensure that your funds and gaming activity are correctly attributed to you. We also use your information to enforce our one-account-per-person policy and to detect duplicate registrations. Account data is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains accurate and up to date. If we identify any discrepancy, we may contact you to request updated documentation.

Regulatory Compliance

As a platform serving players in the Philippines, we are required by law to collect and retain certain personal information for anti-money laundering (AML) checks, know-your-customer (KYC) verification, and responsible gaming monitoring. This data may be disclosed to Philippine regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies when required by a valid legal order or regulatory obligation. We do not disclose your information to government bodies beyond what is strictly required by applicable Philippine law. All regulatory disclosures are logged and handled by our compliance team. Your data is never used for purposes beyond those permitted under the applicable legal framework.

Platform Improvement

Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us understand how Filipino players interact with the platform so that we can improve navigation, game availability, deposit options, and mobile performance. We analyse patterns in platform usage to identify features that are working well and areas that need refinement. No individual player is identified in this analysis — all improvement work is based on anonymised datasets. Feedback you provide through surveys or support interactions may also inform product decisions. Our goal is to make the platform faster, more intuitive, and better suited to the needs of players across the Philippines.

Your Data Rights as a Philippine Player

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines, you have the following rights regarding your personal information held by ah88 ph.

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time. To submit an access request, log in to your account and use the data request feature, or contact our support team directly. We will respond to verified access requests within the timeframe required by Philippine law. The information will be provided in a clear, readable format. There is no fee for a standard access request.

Right to Correction

If any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request that it be corrected. You can update basic account details directly through your account settings. For corrections that require document verification — such as a name change — please contact our support team and provide the relevant supporting documents. We will process correction requests promptly and confirm once the update has been made. Corrected data is subject to the same protections as the original record.

Right to Erasure

You may request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or when you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing. Please note that certain data must be retained for the period required by Philippine financial and gaming regulations, even after account closure. Once the mandatory retention period has passed, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised. Erasure requests are reviewed by our compliance team before action is taken. We will notify you of the outcome of your request within a reasonable timeframe.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. Once you object, we will stop using your data for that purpose immediately. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests, though we may continue processing if we can demonstrate compelling grounds that override your interests. Objection requests can be submitted through your account notification settings or by contacting our support team. We will acknowledge your objection and inform you of any action taken.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service provider. This right applies to data you have provided to us directly and that we process on the basis of your consent or a contract. Portability requests are handled by our support team and will be fulfilled within the timeframe required by applicable Philippine law. We will confirm the format and delivery method with you before processing the request. This right does not apply to data we are required to retain for regulatory purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe that your data rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. We encourage you to contact our support team first so that we can attempt to resolve the matter directly and promptly. Most concerns can be addressed quickly through our internal process without the need for formal regulatory involvement. If you are not satisfied with our response, you are free to escalate your complaint to the NPC at any time. We take all data-related complaints seriously and will cooperate fully with any regulatory inquiry.

Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security), and sensitive data stored on our servers is protected with encryption at rest. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to staff who need it to perform their job functions, and all staff with data access are subject to confidentiality obligations. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to ensure our systems remain robust against emerging threats. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines in accordance with applicable law.

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. Account data is generally retained for the duration of your account and for a defined period after closure to meet regulatory obligations. Transaction records are kept for the period mandated by Philippine financial regulations. Once the applicable retention period has expired, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. You may request information about the specific retention periods that apply to your data by contacting our support team.

Security Measures at a Glance

  • TLS encryption for all data in transit
  • Encryption at rest for sensitive stored data
  • Role-based access controls for internal staff
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Breach notification to NPC and affected players
  • Secure deletion after retention period expires
