What Information Does bay88 Collect and How Is It Used?

A plain-language summary of our data practices for players in the Philippines.

What Personal Information We Collect

  • When you register, bay88 collects your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number. This information is required to verify your identity and keep your account secure.
  • To comply with Philippine regulations on licensed gaming platforms, we also collect a government-issued ID and, where required, proof of address. These documents are handled with strict confidentiality and are not shared with unrelated third parties.
  • When you make deposits or withdrawals through GCash or local bank transfers, our payment processor receives the transaction details needed to complete that transfer. bay88 stores a record of the transaction amount, date, and method for account and compliance purposes.
  • We collect device and session data when you use the platform, including your IP address, browser type, device model, and operating system. This information helps us detect unusual access patterns and protect your account from unauthorised use.
  • If you contact our support team, we retain a record of that correspondence so we can follow up effectively and maintain consistency in how your queries are handled over time.

How We Use the Information We Hold

  • Your personal data is used primarily to create and manage your account, process transactions, and ensure you can access the platform securely from any device in the Philippines.
  • We use identity verification data to meet our obligations under Philippine anti-money laundering laws and responsible gaming regulations. This is a legal requirement and not optional for licensed platforms.
  • Device and usage data is analysed to improve platform performance, detect fraud, and personalise the experience — for example, remembering your preferred sport or game category between sessions.
  • With your consent, we may use your email address or mobile number to send you platform updates, new feature announcements, or account-related notifications. You can adjust your communication preferences at any time from within your account settings.
  • We do not use your data to build advertising profiles for third parties, and we do not sell personal information to any external organisations under any circumstances.

Who May Have Access to Your Data

  • bay88 works with a small number of trusted service providers to operate the platform — including payment processors, identity verification services, and technical infrastructure partners. Each of these providers is required to handle your data in accordance with our privacy standards.
  • We may be required to disclose personal data to Philippine regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts if we receive a lawful request or are obligated to do so under applicable local law.
  • In the event that bay88's business is transferred, merged, or acquired, your personal data may form part of the transferred assets. Any successor entity would be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy with respect to your information.
  • We do not share your personal data with any third-party marketers, data brokers, or social media platforms. Sharing is strictly limited to what is necessary to operate the platform and meet legal obligations.
  • All third-party processors that handle your data on our behalf are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your information for any purpose beyond providing the specific service we have engaged them for.

Your Rights Over Your Personal Data

  • As a player based in the Philippines, you have the right to access a copy of the personal information bay88 holds about you at any time. You may submit such a request through the help section of your account.
  • If any of your personal details are inaccurate or have changed — such as your registered mobile number or address — you can update them directly within your account settings, or request a correction through our support team.
  • You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in circumstances where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal retention obligations.
  • You may withdraw your consent to receiving non-essential communications at any time without affecting the core functionality of your account. Withdrawing consent for marketing messages will not result in any change to your account status.
  • If you have a concern about how bay88 has handled your personal data, you are encouraged to contact our support team in the first instance. You also have the right to escalate a complaint to the relevant Philippine data protection authority.

How Long Do We Keep Your Data, and Is It Kept Safe?

Understanding data retention periods and the security measures in place to protect your information.

Data Retention

bay88 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a minimum period after closure as required by Philippine law. Transaction records are kept for the period required under anti-money laundering regulations. Once a retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised. You may request account closure through the support section at any time. Inactive accounts may be subject to our dormant account policy, which is outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

Security Measures

All personal and financial data transmitted through the bay88 platform is protected using industry-standard encryption. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to staff with a legitimate operational need. We conduct regular internal reviews of our data handling procedures to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. Suspicious account activity is flagged automatically by our security monitoring systems. Despite these measures, no digital system is completely immune to risk, and we encourage players to maintain strong passwords and report any concerns promptly.

Cookies and Tracking

bay88 uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the platform. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function correctly and cannot be disabled. Optional analytics cookies help us improve the experience over time and may be declined through your browser settings. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that follow you outside the bay88 platform. A full list of the cookies in use and their purpose is available on request through the support section of your account.

Quick Answers to Privacy Questions from Philippines Players

The most common questions about how bay88 handles your personal information.

Yes — as a registered player in the Philippines, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information bay88 holds about you. You can submit this request through the help section of your account, and our support team will respond within the timeframe required under applicable law. The information provided will cover the categories of data we hold, the purposes for which it is processed, and any third parties with whom it has been shared in connection with your account. There is no fee for a standard data access request. If your request is complex or involves a large volume of data, we may need additional time to compile it and will inform you of this promptly.

bay88 does not sell your personal information to any third party under any circumstances. We share data only with the service providers necessary to operate the platform — such as payment processors for GCash and bank transfers, and identity verification partners required for regulatory compliance. All such providers operate under strict data processing agreements that limit how your information may be used. We may also disclose data to Philippine regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies when required by law. Beyond these limited and necessary cases, your data remains within the bay88 platform environment.

You can opt out of marketing and promotional communications at any time by updating your notification preferences in the account settings section of the platform. Opting out of marketing messages will not affect your ability to use any part of the bay88 platform, and you will still receive essential account notifications such as transaction confirmations and security alerts. If you experience any difficulty updating your preferences through the platform, you may contact our support team through the help section and they will process your request directly. Changes to communication preferences typically take effect within one business day. For further guidance, the FAQ page covers this topic in more detail.

When you close your bay88 account, your personal data is retained for the minimum period required under Philippine law — primarily to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations and to resolve any outstanding disputes or queries. Once this retention period has passed, your data is securely deleted or fully anonymised. You will not receive any marketing communications after your account is closed, though automated legal retention processes will continue to apply to transactional records. If you would like confirmation of what data is retained after closure and for how long, you can request this information through our support team before or after submitting your closure request. Account closure requests are processed through the help section of your account.
