1. Introduction

funbingo is committed to protecting the personal information of every player who uses our mobile entertainment platform in the Philippines. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you access our website, create an account, make a deposit, or interact with any part of our platform. It applies to all users based in the Philippines and is written in plain Philippine English so that every player can understand their rights without needing a legal background. By registering an account or continuing to use the funbingo platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the platform and contact our support team to close your account.

This policy is aligned with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. We regularly review and update this policy to reflect changes in our platform, applicable laws, and best practices in data protection. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was last updated. We encourage you to check this page periodically so you are always informed about how your data is being handled.

2. What We Collect

When you register and use the funbingo platform, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to provide you with a safe, functional, and personalised experience. The categories of information we collect include the following:

  • Account information: Your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and username provided during registration.
  • Identity verification documents: Government-issued ID, proof of address, or other documents requested during account verification to comply with applicable regulations.
  • Payment information: Details related to your deposit and withdrawal transactions, including payment method type, transaction reference numbers, and amounts. We do not store full card numbers or sensitive payment credentials directly.
  • Device and technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and session data collected automatically when you access the platform.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, features used, time spent on the platform, and interaction logs that help us understand how players use our services.
  • Communications: Records of messages you send to our support team, including email correspondence and any feedback or complaints submitted.

We only collect information that is necessary, relevant, and proportionate to the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or health data unless specifically required by law or with your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we collect is used exclusively for legitimate purposes related to operating the funbingo platform and serving our players in the Philippines. We use your information for the following purposes:

  • To create and manage your account, verify your identity, and ensure you meet the eligibility requirements for using the platform.
  • To process deposits and withdrawals securely and to maintain accurate transaction records for your account.
  • To provide customer support and respond to your enquiries, complaints, or requests in a timely and effective manner.
  • To send you important account-related notifications, such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, and updates to our terms or policies.
  • To improve the platform by analysing usage patterns, identifying technical issues, and developing new features that better serve Filipino players.
  • To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements and responsible gaming obligations under Philippine law.
  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and other security threats to the platform and its users.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. We do not use your data to build profiles for sale to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Any marketing communications we send will be relevant to your use of the platform and you will always have the option to opt out.

4. Sharing Your Data

funbingo does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. We may share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for each specific purpose.

We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification providers, and cloud hosting services. These providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify — they are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes. We may also disclose your information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts when required to do so by law, court order, or in connection with legal proceedings. In the event that funbingo undergoes a business restructuring, merger, or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will notify you of any such change through a notice on the platform or by email.

5. Data Security

We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include industry-standard encryption for data transmitted between your device and our servers, secure storage systems with access controls limited to authorised personnel, regular security assessments and vulnerability testing of our platform infrastructure, and staff training on data protection and privacy best practices. While we take every reasonable precaution to safeguard your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure — please use a strong, unique password, do not share your login credentials with anyone, and contact us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account. We will investigate all reported security concerns promptly and take appropriate action to protect affected accounts.

6. Your Rights Under the Data Privacy Act

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information held by funbingo:

  • Right to be informed: You have the right to know what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used — which is the purpose of this policy.
  • Right to access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting our support team.
  • Right to rectification: If any of your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it.
  • Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data, subject to our legal and regulatory retention obligations.
  • Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on our legitimate interests.
  • Right to data portability: You may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used format so that you can transfer it to another service provider.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with our obligations under Philippine law. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests to ensure the security of your account.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

funbingo uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our platform, maintain your session when you are logged in, and understand how players interact with our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit our site. We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly, including session management and security features. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the platform.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences and settings, such as your preferred language or display options, to provide a more personalised experience.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the platform so we can identify areas for improvement. Data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookie settings through their privacy or settings menu. You can choose to block or delete cookies at any time, though doing so may affect the functionality of certain parts of the platform. By continuing to use the funbingo platform after being informed of our cookie use, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device in accordance with this policy.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations. Account information and transaction records are typically retained for a minimum of five years following the closure of your account, in line with anti-money laundering and financial record-keeping requirements under Philippine law. Identity verification documents may be retained for the same period to support regulatory compliance and to resolve any disputes that may arise after account closure. Usage and technical data collected for platform improvement purposes is generally retained for a shorter period and is anonymised or deleted once it is no longer needed for analysis. When your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it in a manner that prevents reconstruction or identification. If you have questions about the specific retention period for any category of your personal data, please contact us at [email protected].
