Data Privacy Philippines Effective 2025

188 coins Privacy Policy

At 188 coins, we take the privacy of every player in the Philippines seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we may share it with, and what rights you have over your own data. By registering an account or using any part of the 188 coins platform, you agree to the practices described in this document. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and in full compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules. If you have any questions about this policy, please visit our FAQ page before reaching out to our support team.

Last updated: January 2025. Applies to all registered accounts on 188 coins.

1. Information We Collect

When you register and use 188 coins, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to operate your account and deliver our services. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and the details of the Philippine e-wallet or bank account you use for deposits and withdrawals. We also collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs to help us maintain platform security and improve your experience. If you contact our support team, we may retain records of that communication to assist with future queries. All information collected is limited to what is genuinely needed for account management, identity verification, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect sensitive personal information such as government-issued ID numbers unless required for identity verification under applicable Philippine regulations.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we hold is used exclusively to operate and improve the 188 coins platform for players in the Philippines. Your account details are used to process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, verify your identity, and ensure that only eligible players access the platform. Session and activity data helps us detect unusual behaviour, prevent fraud, and maintain a fair gaming environment across Live Casino, Casino, Betting, and Fish Game sections. We may use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, or updates about changes to our terms or policies — these communications are operational and not marketing in nature unless you have separately opted in. Aggregated, anonymised data may be used internally to analyse platform performance and improve our services. We will never use your personal information to make automated decisions that significantly affect your account without human review.

3. Sharing of Your Information

188 coins does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their specific function. All third-party partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable Philippine data privacy laws. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts when required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process. In the event of a business restructuring or change of ownership, your data may be transferred as part of that process, and we will notify you in advance where reasonably practicable. We will never share your data with third parties for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and the 188 coins platform is encrypted using secure protocols, and access to personal data within our systems is restricted to authorised personnel only. We conduct regular internal reviews of our data handling practices to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Your account is protected by password authentication, and we strongly encourage you to use a unique, strong password and to never share your login credentials with anyone. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine regulatory authority as required by law. While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and you also play a role in keeping your account safe by maintaining good personal security habits.

5. Data Retention

188 coins retains your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations governing online gaming and financial transactions. Transaction records and identity verification documents may be retained for a minimum period to comply with anti-money laundering obligations and regulatory audit requirements. When your data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our internal data retention schedule. If you request the closure of your account, we will process that request promptly, though certain records may be retained for the legally required minimum period even after account closure. You may contact our support team at any time to enquire about the specific retention period applicable to your personal data. We do not retain data beyond what is necessary or legally required, and we review our retention practices regularly to ensure compliance.

6. Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a player based in the Philippines, you have specific rights over your personal data under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. You have the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used, the right to access a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and the right to request corrections if any of that information is inaccurate or incomplete. You may also request the deletion or blocking of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any legal retention obligations that apply. If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to our support team through the contact details provided on this page, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We are committed to honouring your rights promptly and transparently, without requiring you to justify your request beyond what is reasonably necessary.

7. Cookies and Tracking

188 coins uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly and to improve your browsing experience. Essential cookies are required for core platform functionality such as maintaining your login session and remembering your preferences across visits. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how players navigate the platform, which sections are most visited, and where technical issues may arise — this data is collected in aggregated form and does not identify you personally. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of certain platform features. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with external marketing networks. Our cookie practices are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain aligned with applicable Philippine privacy regulations and international best practices.

8. Updates to This Policy

188 coins may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable Philippine laws and regulations. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players through the platform or via the contact details associated with their account, and the effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we protect your personal information. Continued use of the 188 coins platform after any update to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the platform and contact our support team to discuss your options.
