Pinoy 77 Privacy Policy - How We Protect Your Data

01 Introduction

At Pinoy 77, we take your privacy seriously — not just because the law requires it, but because we believe you deserve to know exactly how your information is being used. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use our platform at pinoy77.click, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.

This policy applies to all players, visitors, and anyone who interacts with Pinoy 77 in any capacity — whether you're just browsing our site, creating an account, or actively betting. It covers all personal data collected through our website, mobile browser experience, email communications, customer support interactions, and any other touchpoints between you and our platform.

We want to be straightforward about everything. If anything in this Privacy Policy is unclear, reach out to our support team or Data Protection Officer (DPO) at any time. We're here to help, not to hide behind legal jargon.

02 Data We Collect

Pinoy 77 collects personal data in several ways — directly from you when you register or transact, automatically through your use of the platform, and occasionally from third-party verification providers. Here's a breakdown of each category:

Information You Provide Directly

• Account registration: Full legal name, date of birth, gender, email address, mobile number, and a password you create.
• Identity verification (KYC): Government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, SS/UMID/PhilHealth/Voter's ID), selfie or photo verification, and proof of address documents such as a utility bill or barangay clearance.
• Financial information: GCash number, Maya account, bank account details (BDO, BPI, UnionBank), or card information for deposits and withdrawals. We do not store full card numbers — only masked references.
• Communications: Any messages you send to our support team via live chat, email, or feedback forms.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device and technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device model, screen resolution, and network provider.
• Usage data: Pages visited, games played, time spent on each section, bet amounts and frequency, login and logout timestamps, and clickstream data.
• Location data: General geolocation derived from your IP address to confirm you are accessing from the Philippines. We do not access your device's GPS location.
• Cookie data: Session identifiers, preference settings, and analytics tracking codes. See Section 5 for full details on cookies.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from identity verification providers, payment processors, fraud prevention services, and licensing authorities as part of our legal obligations. This data is used solely to verify your identity and comply with applicable regulations.

03 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect has a specific, legitimate purpose. Here's why we process your personal information:

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your Pinoy 77 account, verifying your identity, and ensuring account security.
• Service delivery: Processing deposits and withdrawals, crediting winings, and settling bets accurately.
• Legal compliance: Meeting our obligations under Philippine anti-money laundering laws (AMLA), the Data Privacy Act, and gaming regulations. This includes transaction monitoring and reporting to relevant authorities where required.
• Fraud prevention and platform security: Detecting and blocking suspicious activity, preventing multiple account registrations, and protecting the integrity of our games.
• Customer support: Responding to your inquiries, resolving disputes, and improving the quality of our service based on your feedback.
• Platform improvement: Analyzing usage patterns to fix bugs, optimize performance, and develop new features that Filipino players actually want.
• Responsible gaming: Identifying patterns that may indicate problem gambling and offering appropriate support tools or interventions.
• Marketing (with your consent): Sending you information about new games, promotions, and offers that may interest you. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time.

04 Sharing Your Data

Pinoy 77 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. Full stop. However, there are certain circumstances where sharing your data is necessary or legally required:

Service Providers and Partners

We share limited data with trusted third-party providers who help us run our platform. These include payment processors (e.g., GCash's API partners), identity verification services, cloud hosting providers, and analytics tools. All service providers are contractually required to process your data only for the specific purpose we've defined and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

We are required by Philippine law to share certain information with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), law enforcement agencies, and our gaming regulator when legally requested. We will always act within the bounds of the law in responding to such requests.

Business Transfers

If Pinoy 77 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified in advance if such a transfer involves your personal data, and the acquiring party will be required to honor the commitments set out in this Privacy Policy.

05 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Pinoy 77 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our platform work properly and to understand how players use our site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These handle session management, keep you logged in, and ensure secure transactions. You cannot opt out of these without losing access to the platform.
• Performance cookies: Used to collect anonymous data about how players navigate our site. This helps us identify slow pages, broken features, and areas for improvement.
• Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings, notification preferences, and favorite game categories.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand aggregate player behavior so we can improve our platform. Data collected by analytics tools is anonymized and not linked to individual accounts.
• Marketing cookies (optional): Used to show you relevant promotions based on your gaming activity. You can opt out of these at any time.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings or by adjusting preferences in your Pinoy 77 account settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our platform. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through the browser's settings panel.

06 Data Retention

Pinoy 77 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or to comply with legal obligations.

• Active accounts: Your data is retained for the entire duration your account is active on our platform.
• Closed accounts: Following closure, we retain personal data for a minimum of five years to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and gaming authority requirements.
• Transaction records: Financial are kept for at least five years from the date of each transaction.
• Support interactions: Records of customer support communications are retained for three years.
• Marketing data: If you unsubscribe from marketing, we retain a minimal record of your opt-out preference to ensure we don't contact you again.

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized so it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

07 Security Measures

We invest heavily in protecting your data. Pinoy 77 implements a layered security approach that combines technical controls, organizational policies, and employee training to minimize the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.

Technical Safeguards

• TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit between your browser and our servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) options available for all player accounts
• Regular penetration testing by independent security firms
• Intrusion detection systems and continuous server monitoring
• Strict access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis

Organizational Controls

All Pinoy 77 employees and contractors who handle personal data are required to complete data privacy training and sign confidentiality agreements. We conduct regular internal audits to verify compliance with our data protection policies. Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees all privacy-related activities and reports directly to senior management.

08 Your Privacy Rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), you have specific rights regarding your personal data. Pinoy 77 is committed to upholding these rights fully and without unnecessary delay.

09 Protection of Minors

Pinoy 77 is strictly an adult gaming platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21 years of age. Our registration process includes age verification steps, and we may request government-issued ID to confirm eligibility.

If we discover or have reason to believe that a minor has created an account on our platform, we will immediately suspend the account, delete all associated personal data to the extent possible under law, and report the matter to appropriate authorities if required by regulation.

Parents or guardians who believe a minor has accessed Pinoy 77 are encouraged to contact us immediately at support@pinoy77.click so we can investigate and take swift action.
