Privacy at pit888 — Key Principles
Data Privacy Act Compliance
pit888 processes all personal data in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations, as overseen by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Your rights as a Filipino data subject are central to how pit888 manages every piece of information you provide.
256-bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the pit888 platform is protected by bank-grade 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by major Philippine banks including BPI and BDO. This applies to login credentials, payment details, KYC documents, and all account communications, whether you're accessing pit888 from Manila, Cebu, or anywhere else in the Philippines.
No Sale of Personal Data
pit888 does not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. The only third parties who receive your data are those who directly enable the operation of your pit888 account — payment processors, KYC verification services, and PAGCOR as our regulatory authority — and each is bound by strict data processing agreements.
Your Data Rights
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to access, correct, delete, object to processing, and port your personal data. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting pit888's designated Data Protection Officer. pit888 commits to responding to all data rights requests within 15 business days of receipt.
Defined Retention Periods
pit888 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law. Account data is typically retained for five years following account closure to comply with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements under the AMLC regulations.
Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to affected players, pit888 will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Affected Filipino players will be notified promptly with clear information about what occurred, what data was involved, and what steps pit888 has taken in response.
Before You Continue
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by pit888 in connection with the pit888.cam website and all associated gaming services. By using the pit888 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you have questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 14.
1 Introduction & Scope
1.1 This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by pit888 and sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by pit888. This Policy applies to all users of the pit888 platform, including visitors to pit888.cam who have not yet registered an account, registered players, and former account holders.
