4 Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, 788 Bingo processes your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

- Legal obligation: Processing required by Philippine law, including KYC verification, anti-money laundering monitoring, and regulatory reporting.
- Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for the legitimate interests of 788 Bingo, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement — where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

5 How We Share Your Data
788 Bingo does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Payment processors: Your financial data is shared with payment service providers (such as GCash, Maya, and banking partners) strictly to process your transactions. These providers are bound by their own privacy obligations and applicable Philippine regulations.
- Identity verification providers: KYC data may be shared with licensed third-party identity verification services to confirm your age and identity as required by regulation.
- Technology and hosting partners: Service providers who host or maintain parts of the 788 Bingo platform may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.
- Regulatory authorities: We will disclose personal data to the Philippine gaming regulatory body, law enforcement agencies, or tax authorities when required to do so by law or a valid legal order.
- Business transfers: In the event that 788 Bingo undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, player data may be transferred to the succeeding entity. We will notify affected players before any such transfer occurs.
Important: Any third party that processes personal data on behalf of 788 Bingo does so under a data processing agreement that requires them to protect it with the same standard of care we apply. They may not use it for any purpose beyond the specific service they provide.
6 How Long We Keep Your Data
788 Bingo retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law.

- Closed accounts: After you close your account, we retain your data for a minimum of five years from the closure date. This period covers statutory limitations for potential disputes or regulatory investigations.
- Marketing data: If you withdraw consent for marketing communications, we will stop sending them and remove your contact details from our marketing lists within 30 days. A suppression record will be kept to ensure we don't contact you again by mistake.
- Technical logs: Server logs and technical data are typically retained for 12 months, after which they are anonymized or deleted.
7 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
788 Bingo uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, improve the player experience, and analyze usage patterns. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against fraud. These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand how players navigate 788 Bingo — which pages are visited most, where players exit, and how the platform performs across different devices. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual identities.
- Preference cookies: Store your language, display, and notification preferences so you don't need to set them every time you visit.
- Marketing cookies: Used only if you have consented to receiving personalized offers and promotions. These help us show you relevant content rather than generic ads.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from accessing parts of the 788 Bingo platform. For most Filipino players accessing via GCash or Maya on a smartphone, cookie settings are managed through your mobile browser's privacy settings.
8 How We Secure Your Data
788 Bingo implements a range of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, theft, or misuse:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data including passwords and payment references — passwords are hashed and salted and never stored in plain text.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all player accounts to add a second layer of login security.
- Access controls that limit which staff members can view personal player data, based on role and business necessity.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by qualified third-party security firms.
- Continuous fraud monitoring systems that flag suspicious activity in real time.
Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect that your 788 Bingo account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately so we can take protective action.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a real risk to affected players, 788 Bingo will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players in accordance with the Data Privacy Act's breach notification requirements.
