Pinoy Perya Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to pinoy perya. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect from Filipino players, how we use it, who we may share it with, and the rights you have over your own information. We operate in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines, and we are committed to handling your data with transparency and care. Please read this document carefully before registering an account or using any feature of the platform. By using pinoy perya, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described below.
Last updated: January 2025. This policy applies to all registered players and visitors accessing the platform from the Philippines.
1. Data We Collect
When you register and use pinoy perya, we collect several categories of personal information necessary to operate the platform safely and legally. Account information includes your full legal name, date of birth, mobile number, and any identification documents you submit during verification. This data allows us to confirm your identity, verify that you meet the 18+ age requirement, and comply with applicable Philippine regulations on online gaming.
We also collect device and browser data automatically whenever you access the platform. This includes your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, screen resolution, and general location data derived from your network connection. This technical information helps us detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure the platform delivers a consistent experience whether you are on a mobile phone, tablet, or desktop browser.
Because pinoy perya operates exclusively in Philippine Peso (₱ PHP), we collect local payment information relevant to your chosen deposit or withdrawal method. This includes your GCash or Maya account reference, bank account details for InstaPay or PESONet transfers, and transaction records. We do not store full card numbers or complete banking credentials — payment data is handled through our trusted payment processing partners who maintain their own security standards. Finally, we collect usage data such as game session history, betting records, deposit and withdrawal timestamps, and customer support interactions, all of which help us improve the platform experience for Filipino players.
2. Purpose of Data Use
Pinoy perya uses the personal data we collect for a set of clearly defined purposes, and we do not use your data for anything beyond what is described in this policy without your prior consent. The primary purpose is to operate, maintain, and improve the platform — including processing your deposits, recording your bets, calculating and crediting your winnings, and handling withdrawal requests in Philippine Peso. Without access to your account and payment data, these core services simply cannot function.
We also use your data to verify your identity and age in line with our obligations under Philippine gaming regulations and the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Identity verification helps protect both the platform and other players from fraud, money laundering, and underage access. Account security is another key purpose — your login history, device fingerprints, and access timestamps allow us to detect unusual account behaviour and alert you if we believe your account may have been accessed without your permission.
Beyond operations and compliance, your data helps us personalise your experience on pinoy perya. We may use your game history and platform preferences to surface content that is relevant to how you use the platform, such as highlighting game categories you have played before. We also use aggregated, anonymised usage data for internal analytics to understand how Filipino players interact with different parts of the platform, which informs product decisions and improvements. We do not use your personal data for targeted advertising on third-party platforms, and we do not sell your data to any third party for marketing purposes.
3. Cookies & Tracking
Pinoy perya uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work correctly and to understand how visitors use the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website, and they serve several important functions. Essential cookies are required for the platform to operate — they maintain your login session, remember your language and display preferences, and ensure that security features such as CSRF protection function correctly. Without these cookies, core platform features would not work.
In addition to essential cookies, we use functional cookies that remember choices you have made — such as your preferred deposit method or notification settings — so you do not have to reconfigure them on each visit. We also use analytics cookies to collect anonymised data about how players navigate the platform, which pages receive the most visits, and where players encounter difficulties. This data is processed in aggregate form and is not linked to your individual account identity. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies that follow you across third-party websites or build advertising profiles based on your browsing behaviour.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the platform normally. If you continue to use pinoy perya without changing your browser's cookie settings, we interpret this as your consent to the use of cookies as described in this section. For more detailed guidance on managing cookies in common browsers, visit the support section of your browser provider's website.
4. Data Storage & Security
All personal data collected by pinoy perya is stored on secure servers protected by industry-standard technical and organisational security measures. We use encryption in transit (TLS) for all data exchanged between your device and the platform, and sensitive data at rest — including identity documents and payment references — is stored using encryption protocols that meet current security best practices. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions, and all staff with data access are bound by confidentiality obligations.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory guidelines. Transaction records and identity verification documents may be retained for a minimum of five years following account closure in accordance with anti-money laundering regulations. When data is no longer required for any legal or operational purpose, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, pinoy perya will notify affected users and the relevant Philippine regulatory authorities within the timeframes required by law. If you believe your account data has been compromised, you should contact our support team immediately and change your account password. We strongly encourage all players to use a strong, unique password and to keep their registered mobile number up to date so that security alerts reach them promptly.
5. Sharing Data with Third Parties
Pinoy perya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. However, we do share limited data with trusted service providers who help us deliver the platform — and we do so only to the extent necessary for them to perform their specific functions. Payment processors such as GCash, Maya, and local banking partners receive the transaction data required to complete your deposit or withdrawal in Philippine Peso. Identity verification providers may receive your submitted documents to confirm that your account meets eligibility requirements. Game software providers may receive anonymised session data to ensure their titles function correctly within our environment.
All third-party providers who receive personal data from pinoy perya are required under contract to handle that data securely, use it only for the agreed purpose, and not share it further without our authorisation. We select providers who maintain data protection standards consistent with Philippine law. In addition to service providers, we may disclose personal data to government agencies, law enforcement bodies, or regulatory authorities in the Philippines when we are legally required to do so — for example, in response to a court order or a request from the relevant gaming regulatory body.
We do not transfer your personal data to recipients outside the Philippines unless the receiving country provides an adequate level of data protection or we have put in place appropriate contractual safeguards. Where any international transfer is necessary — for example, where a game provider's infrastructure is hosted abroad — we take steps to ensure your data receives equivalent protection to that required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. If you have concerns about how a specific third-party provider handles data, you are encouraged to review that provider's own privacy policy.
6. Your Rights as a User
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, registered players on pinoy perya have a number of rights with respect to their personal data, and we are committed to honouring those rights in a timely and transparent manner. Your right of access means you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including your account information, transaction history, and any identity documents on file. To make an access request, contact the support team using the email address listed in the footer of this page, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by law.
You also have the right to correction — if any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you can ask us to correct it. Common examples include an updated mobile number, a corrected spelling of your legal name, or a change in your registered bank account details. Some corrections may require you to submit supporting documentation to verify the updated information. The right to erasure (or "right to be forgotten") allows you to request that we delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and no other legal basis applies. Note that certain data — such as transaction records required for regulatory compliance — cannot be deleted before the mandatory retention period expires.
Additionally, you have the right to object to specific uses of your data and the right to data portability, which means you can request your data in a structured, commonly used format. If you believe pinoy perya has handled your data unlawfully or has failed to comply with a rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. We take all data rights requests seriously and will always aim to resolve concerns directly with you before any formal complaint becomes necessary. To exercise any of these rights, please reach out via the support email shown in the footer below.
7. Protection of Minors
Pinoy perya is strictly an adults-only platform. The platform is intended solely for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors under any circumstances. During the registration process, all users are required to confirm their date of birth and agree that they meet the minimum age requirement. Where there is reason to believe that an account belongs to an individual under 18, that account will be suspended immediately and any data associated with it will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in monitoring online activity and to use parental control tools available on devices and internet services to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms. If you believe that a minor has registered on pinoy perya or that personal data belonging to a minor has been submitted to us, please contact the support team immediately with relevant details. We will investigate the matter promptly and take all necessary steps to delete the data and close the account. For additional guidance on keeping young people safe online in the Philippines, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) provides resources that parents and carers may find helpful.
8. Policy Updates & Contact
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the law, changes to how pinoy perya operates, or improvements to our data protection practices. When material changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date at the top.

We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always informed about how your data is being used.
