Introduction
aceph31 ("we," "us," "our," or "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who registers and uses the aceph31 website at aceph31.net. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and protection of personal information in connection with the aceph31 online casino and sports betting services offered to Filipino players nationwide.
This Privacy Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. It is also consistent with the data governance requirements of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), under whose oversight aceph31 operates.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the aceph31 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. Together, these documents form the complete framework governing your use of, and our obligations to you on, the aceph31 platform.

aceph31 collects personal data from you through various interactions with the platform, including at registration, during identity verification, during payment transactions, and through your ongoing gameplay activity. The categories of personal data we collect are outlined in the table below.

aceph31 does not collect sensitive personal information as defined under RA 10173 — such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or health data — unless explicitly required by a specific regulatory obligation, in which case you will be separately informed and your consent obtained.
How We Use Your Personal Data
aceph31 uses the personal data we collect for specific, legitimate, and clearly defined purposes. We do not process your data in any manner that is incompatible with those purposes without first obtaining your consent. The primary uses of your personal data are as follows:
- Account Management: To create, maintain, and manage your aceph31 player account, including authentication, account settings, and profile updates.
- Identity Verification (KYC): To verify your identity and age (21+ as required under Philippine gaming regulations) in compliance with PAGCOR requirements and anti-money laundering obligations.
- Payment Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other supported Philippine payment channels.
- Regulatory Compliance: To fulfill our obligations under PAGCOR licensing, the Data Privacy Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), and other applicable Philippine laws.
- Fraud Prevention & Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, collusion, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct on the platform.
- Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries, complaints, and requests submitted via live chat, email, or other support channels.
- Responsible Gaming: To monitor gameplay patterns for signs of problem gambling behavior, enforce self-exclusion requests, and apply deposit or loss limits set by the player.
- Service Improvement: To analyze aggregated gameplay and usage data to improve the aceph31 platform, optimize game offerings, and enhance the overall player experience.
- Promotions & Communications: To send you relevant promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates — where you have provided consent to receive marketing communications. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, aceph31 processes your personal data on the following legal bases, depending on the specific purpose of processing:
- Consent: For marketing communications and optional profile features where you have provided explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your account notification settings or contacting [email protected].
- Contractual Necessity: For processing necessary to perform our obligations under the aceph31 Terms & Conditions, including account management, payment processing, and delivering the gaming services you have requested.
- Legal Obligation: For processing required to comply with applicable Philippine laws and regulations, including PAGCOR licensing requirements, Anti-Money Laundering Act obligations, and directives from the National Privacy Commission.
- Legitimate Interests: For fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and internal analytics — where these purposes do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms as a data subject.
Where aceph31 relies on consent as the legal basis for processing, you retain the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
aceph31 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We may share your personal information only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:

These include payment processors (GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, InstaPay), game software providers, KYC and identity verification services, and cloud infrastructure providers.

aceph31 may disclose personal data to PAGCOR, the National Privacy Commission, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or any other competent Philippine government authority where required by law, court order, or valid regulatory request. Such disclosures are made in good faith and in full compliance with applicable legal procedures.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving aceph31, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity.

Data Retention
aceph31 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulatory obligations. The general retention periods applicable to different categories of data are set out below:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your active account, plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements under the AMLA.

Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents identification. Where anonymized data is retained for analytical purposes, it is no longer considered personal data under RA 10173.
Data Security Measures
aceph31 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security framework includes the following key measures:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the aceph31 platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols, protecting it from interception during transmission.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored on aceph31 servers — including identity documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption standards.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. aceph31 staff access to player data is logged, monitored, and subject to regular access reviews.
- Two-Factor Authentication: aceph31 supports and encourages the use of two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS OTP for all player accounts to prevent unauthorized account access.
- Regular Security Audits: The aceph31 platform undergoes regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scans conducted by qualified security professionals.
- Incident Response: aceph31 maintains a documented data breach response plan, enabling rapid detection, containment, and notification in the event of a security incident affecting personal data.
International Data Transfers
aceph31's primary data infrastructure is hosted within the Asia-Pacific region. However, certain third-party service providers engaged by aceph31 — such as game software providers and cloud services — may process or store data in servers located outside the Philippines.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, aceph31 ensures that such transfers are made only to countries or organizations that provide an adequate level of data protection, or that appropriate safeguards are in place — such as contractual data protection clauses equivalent to Philippine DPA standards — to protect your rights as a data subject.
aceph31 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions where the applicable data protection laws would not afford you a comparable level of protection to that provided by RA 10173. If you have questions about the specific countries to which your data may be transferred, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
Exercising Your Data Subject Rights
aceph31 is committed to facilitating the exercise of your rights as a data subject under RA 10173. To exercise any of the rights described in this Privacy Policy — including your rights of access, correction, erasure, objection, or portability — you may submit a request through the following channels:
Upon receipt of a data subject rights request, aceph31 will verify your identity before processing the request to ensure we are responding to the legitimate account holder. We will acknowledge your request within 48 hours and provide a substantive response within fifteen (15) calendar days, as prescribed by the NPC.
If you are dissatisfied with aceph31's response to your data subject rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines through their official channels.
Children & Minors
If aceph31 discovers or is notified that personal data of a person under 21 years of age has been collected — whether through misrepresentation at registration or any other means — we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete the personal data in question to the extent permitted by law, and report the matter in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Parents and guardians who believe that a minor may have accessed or registered on the aceph31 platform are urged to contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act on all such reports promptly and with full seriousness.

When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through one or more of the following means:
