4. How ugaming Collects Your Data
4.1 Directly From You
The majority of personal data ugaming holds is provided directly by you during the account registration process, the KYC verification process, when making deposits or withdrawals, when contacting ugaming support, or when responding to ugaming surveys or promotional opt-ins. This includes your name, date of birth, Philippine contact details, and payment information.
4.2 Automatically Through Platform Use
When you access ugaming.bet, ugaming automatically collects certain technical data through server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies.

ugaming works with accredited third-party identity verification and KYC service providers to confirm the identity and age of players.

4.4 From Payment Processors
When you make a deposit or withdrawal via GCash, Maya, GrabPay, BPI, BDO, InstaPay, or QR Ph, ugaming receives transaction confirmation data from the relevant payment processor. ugaming does not store full bank account numbers or complete GCash/Maya credentials on its own servers — payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third-party processors.

- Account Management: Creating, maintaining, and administering your ugaming player account, including processing login authentication and OTP verification.

- Payment Processing: Processing deposits into your ugaming wallet and withdrawals to your registered Philippine payment method, and maintaining accurate transaction records.
- Regulatory Compliance: Fulfilling ugaming's obligations under Philippine gaming regulations, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and any directives issued by PAGCOR, the AMLC, or the NPC.

- Responsible Gaming: Monitoring account activity to identify patterns consistent with problem gambling, administering player-requested deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion arrangements.

- Customer Support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and maintaining records of your interactions with the ugaming support team.
- Marketing Communications: Sending you information about ugaming promotions, bonuses, new game launches, and platform updates where you have provided consent or where ugaming has a legitimate interest in doing so. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

7. Sharing Your Personal Data
ugaming does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes. ugaming shares personal data only in the circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for each purpose.
7.1 Service Providers
ugaming engages trusted third-party service providers who process personal data on ugaming's behalf, including identity verification providers, payment processors (GCash, Maya, InstaPay network partners, BPI, BDO), cloud infrastructure providers, fraud detection vendors, and customer support platform operators. All such providers are contractually bound to process personal data only on ugaming's instructions and in accordance with the Data Privacy Act.

7.3 Game Providers
Where necessary for the operation of specific casino games or sports betting products on ugaming, limited technical data (such as a pseudonymous player identifier and session token) may be shared with licensed game software providers. These providers do not receive your name, contact details, or financial information.
7.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of ugaming's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. ugaming will notify registered players of any such transfer and ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by data protection obligations no less protective than those in this Privacy Policy.
8. Data Retention

| Technical & Log Data | 12 months from collection | Security monitoring, fraud detection |
| Marketing Consent Records | Until consent is withdrawn, plus 3 years | NPC consent record-keeping guidance |
After the applicable retention period expires, ugaming will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in a manner that prevents reconstruction of your identity. Anonymised, aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.

- Encryption of sensitive data fields at rest within ugaming's database infrastructure.
- Strict access controls ensuring that ugaming personnel can only access player personal data on a need-to-know basis, with access logging and audit trails.
- Regular security assessments and penetration testing of ugaming's platform and infrastructure.
- Multi-factor authentication requirements for ugaming systems that hold personal data.
- Staff training on data privacy obligations under Philippine law and ugaming's internal data handling policies.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, ugaming will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay in accordance with the Data Privacy Act and NPC Circular No. 16-03. The notification will describe the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the steps ugaming is taking to address it.
Your Responsibility: While ugaming takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, you are also responsible for keeping your ugaming account credentials secure. Never share your password or OTP with anyone — ugaming support staff will never ask for your password.
