• Legal obligation: Processing required for KYC/AML compliance, age verification (21+), PAGCOR regulatory reporting, and compliance with other Philippine legal requirements.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and service improvement — where such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications (promotional SMS or email), where we have obtained your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your account preferences or contacting support.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

• Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function, including maintaining your slot8 Login session state, remembering game preferences, and securing your account.
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how players navigate slot8, which games are most popular, and where technical issues occur — so we can improve the Platform experience.
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including identifying suspicious login patterns and protecting against CSRF attacks.

6. Sharing of Personal Data

slot8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC and AML service providers engaged by slot8 to verify your identity and comply with PAGCOR's know-your-customer requirements.
• PAGCOR and Philippine regulatory authorities: slot8 is legally required to provide gaming activity and player data to PAGCOR and, where applicable, the Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and law enforcement agencies acting under lawful authority.
• Game and technology providers: Third-party game studios and live dealer platform providers whose games are available on slot8 may receive anonymised or pseudonymised technical data necessary to deliver and audit game outcomes.
• Service providers: SMS gateway providers, cloud infrastructure providers, and cybersecurity vendors engaged under strict data processing agreements that prohibit secondary use of your data.

All third parties to whom slot8 discloses personal data are required to process it in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act and only for the purposes specified in their respective data processing agreements with slot8.

7. Data Security

slot8 implements a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal and financial data:

• All data transmitted between your device and slot8.biz is encrypted using SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS).
• Passwords and sensitive authentication credentials are stored using industry-standard one-way hashing algorithms. slot8 never stores your raw password.
• Access to personal data within slot8's systems is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis and is subject to access logging and review.
• Financial data (GCash numbers, bank details) is tokenised — slot8 stores payment tokens issued by payment processors rather than raw account numbers where technically feasible.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing are conducted to identify and address vulnerabilities.
• In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms, slot8 will notify affected individuals and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by RA 10173.

8. Data Retention

slot8 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable Philippine law:

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your slot8 account plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine AML law.
• Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the transaction date, in compliance with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) recordkeeping requirements applicable to payment service users.
• Customer support communications: Retained for two (2) years following the resolution of the relevant support interaction.
• Marketing consent records: Retained until consent is withdrawn plus one (1) year, to demonstrate compliance with consent requirements.
• Technical and security logs: Retained for twelve (12) months in standard circumstances, or longer where required by an active security investigation.

After applicable retention periods expire, slot8 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you.
