okplaay Privacy Policy
At okplaay, we take the privacy and security of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect when you use the okplaay platform, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, and what rights you have over your own data as a registered Filipino player. We believe you deserve full transparency — not just a wall of fine print.
Your Privacy Matters: okplaay processes personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and the regulations of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). By registering and using the okplaay platform, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.
1About This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected and processed by okplaay in connection with the okplaay website located at okplaay.net, the okplaay mobile application (where available), and all related gaming services, promotional communications, and customer support interactions (collectively, the "Platform").
okplaay is the data controller responsible for the personal data of all registered players and website visitors in the Philippines. As a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming operator, okplaay is required by law to collect and retain certain categories of personal data for identity verification, anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, responsible gaming enforcement, and regulatory reporting purposes.
This Policy should be read together with okplaay's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy, both of which form part of the overall agreement between you and okplaay. Where this Privacy Policy conflicts with any other document, this Policy prevails with respect to data privacy matters.
2Data We Collect
okplaay collects personal data from you directly when you register an account, make deposits or withdrawals, contact customer support, or interact with the Platform in any way. We also collect certain data automatically through your use of the Platform. The categories of data we collect are set out below.

| Financial Data | GCash number, PayMaya account, BPI/BDO/Metrobank account details, deposit and withdrawal history, transaction amounts in PHP (₱) | Provided by you during payment setup; generated by Platform transactions |
| Gaming Data | Game history, bet amounts, win/loss records, session durations, bonus usage, wagering activity | Automatically generated by your gaming activity on the Platform |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, login timestamps, geolocation (country/city level) | Automatically collected via cookies and server logs |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support ticket content, email correspondence, survey responses | Generated when you contact okplaay customer support |
| Responsible Gaming Data | Self-exclusion status, deposit and loss limit settings, cooling-off period records | Generated when you use okplaay's responsible gaming tools |
Sensitive Personal Information: Government-issued ID documents, biometric data (where required for enhanced KYC), and financial account details are classified as sensitive personal information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. okplaay applies heightened security controls and access restrictions to all sensitive personal information in its possession.
3How We Use Your Data
okplaay uses your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes directly connected to the operation of the Platform and our legal obligations as a PAGCOR-licensed operator. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. The primary purposes for which we process your data are as follows:
- Account Registration and Management: To create, maintain, and administer your okplaay account, verify your identity, and authenticate your login sessions.
- KYC and Age Verification: To verify that you are at least 21 years of age and to confirm your identity in compliance with PAGCOR requirements and Philippine AML law. This is a mandatory legal obligation and cannot be opted out of.
- Payment Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other supported payment channels, and to maintain accurate financial records in Philippine pesos (₱).
- Gaming Services: To provide access to slots, live casino, sports betting, sabong, bingo, arcade, and all other game verticals available on the Platform.
- Fraud Prevention and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, account takeovers, bonus abuse, money laundering, and other Platform integrity violations.

- Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, resolve disputes, and improve the overall quality of our support services.
- Marketing Communications: To send you promotional offers, tournament announcements, and reload bonus notifications — but only where you have given explicit consent. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time via your account settings.
- Regulatory Reporting: To prepare and submit reports to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other competent Philippine authorities as required by law.
- Platform Improvement: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data for the purposes of improving game offerings, website performance, and the overall user experience on the Platform.
4Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), okplaay processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

5Data Sharing & Disclosure
okplaay does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances and always subject to appropriate data protection safeguards:

- Payment Processors: GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other payment service providers receive the financial data necessary to process your deposit and withdrawal transactions. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by applicable Philippine financial regulations.
- KYC and Identity Verification Partners: Specialist identity verification service providers may process your identity documents and biometric data on okplaay's behalf for the purpose of completing mandatory KYC checks. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.

- Law Enforcement: Philippine law enforcement authorities where disclosure is required in connection with a criminal investigation or legal proceeding involving the Platform or its players.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of okplaay's assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same data protection standards set out in this Policy.
No Data Selling: okplaay has never sold player personal data to data brokers, advertisers, or any other third party for commercial purposes, and has no intention of doing so. Any third party that processes data on our behalf is bound by a formal Data Processing Agreement that strictly limits their use of your data.

7Data Retention
okplaay retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The key retention periods are as follows:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR licensing requirements and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

8Data Security
okplaay implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security framework includes:
- Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the okplaay Platform is protected using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption. Sensitive data at rest — including identity documents and financial records — is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within okplaay's internal systems is strictly limited to personnel who require it to perform their authorised job functions. Role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication are enforced across all internal systems.
- Penetration Testing: The Platform undergoes regular independent security assessments, including penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, to identify and remediate potential weaknesses before they can be exploited.
- Incident Response: okplaay maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, okplaay will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay, in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Employee Training: All okplaay personnel with access to personal data receive mandatory data privacy and security training at the time of onboarding and on an ongoing annual basis.
Your Role in Security: While okplaay takes extensive measures to protect your data on our end, the security of your account also depends on you. Please use a strong, unique password for your okplaay account, enable two-factor authentication where available, and never share your login credentials with anyone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our 24/7 live chat support immediately.

10Children & Minors
The okplaay Platform is strictly for persons aged 21 years and above. okplaay does not knowingly collect personal data from any individual under the age of 21. In the Philippines, PAGCOR regulations set the minimum legal age for casino-style online gambling at 21 years.
If okplaay discovers or has reason to believe that an account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all pending withdrawals cancelled, and the matter escalated for review. Any personal data collected in connection with an underage account will be securely deleted following the conclusion of any regulatory reporting obligations.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered an account with okplaay, please contact our support team immediately via 24/7 live chat so that we can take prompt action.
21+ Strictly Enforced: okplaay's KYC process includes mandatory age verification for every registered account. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and cooperate fully with PAGCOR and Philippine law enforcement in any investigation involving underage access to the Platform.
11Cross-Border Data Transfers
As a Philippine-facing gaming operator, the majority of okplaay's data processing activities are conducted within the Philippines. However, some of our technology infrastructure, third-party game providers, and cloud service providers may be located in other countries. Where your personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, okplaay ensures that such transfers are made in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations, including by requiring recipient entities to provide an equivalent level of data protection through contractual safeguards such as standard data protection clauses.
okplaay does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without first implementing appropriate technical and contractual safeguards as required by the NPC.
12Policy Updates
okplaay reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made to this Policy, okplaay will notify registered players by email to their registered address and/or by a prominent notice on the Platform, no less than seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amended Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised terms.
