Aceph21 Privacy Policy for Philippine Players

1Introduction

Welcome to Aceph21 — the online gaming platform built for Filipinos who love the thrill of betting, poker, slots, and sports wagering. When you visit aceph21.best, create an account, or use any of our services, you trust us with your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains, in clear and honest terms, exactly what data we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

This policy applies to all services offered by Aceph21 on the website aceph21.best, including Esports Betting, MMA Betting, PBA Betting, Poker, Jackpot Slots, Sports Betting, and Pusoy. By registering and using any of these services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Aceph21 is committed to complying with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and all relevant issuances by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Our data practices are also aligned with internationally recognized standards for information security and user privacy.

2Information We Collect

Aceph21 collects only the information we genuinely need to deliver a safe, fair, and personalised gaming experience. Here is what we gather and why:

Account & Identity Information

When you register on Aceph21, we collect your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a username of your choice. This information is required to create your account, verify your identity, and comply with Philippine anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.

• Full legal name and date of birth
• Email address and mobile number
• Government-issued ID details (for KYC verification)
• Residential address (province or city)

Financial & Transaction Data

To process deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay/PESONet, or your BDO/BPI/UnionBank account, we need to collect payment-related details. This may include your e-wallet account name, linked bank account number, and transaction history within the Aceph21 platform. We do not store full card numbers or CVV codes — these are handled through secure, certified payment gateways.

Technical & Device Data

Our systems automatically collect certain technical data when you access the site, including your IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, and session timestamps. This helps us detect fraud, troubleshoot technical issues, and improve the overall platform experience.

Gaming Activity Data

We maintain records of your gaming sessions, including game types played, bet amounts, wins and losses, and bonus usage. This data helps us provide responsible gaming tools, resolve disputes, and personalise your experience on Aceph21.

3How We Use Your Data

Every piece of information Aceph21 collects has a specific, legitimate purpose. We do not collect data just because we can — we only use what we need, and we use it responsibly. Below are the main ways your information is used on the Aceph21 platform:

• Account Management: To create, maintain, and secure your Aceph21 player account and ensure accurate login authentication.
• Identity Verification (KYC): Philippine regulations require us to verify the identity of all players before processing withdrawals. This keeps the platform safe for everyone.
• Payment Processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals via your preferred local payment method — GCash, Maya, GrabPay, or your bank.
• Customer Support: When you contact our support team, your account details help us resolve your concerns faster and more accurately.
• Platform Improvement: Aggregated, anonymised data helps us understand how players use Aceph21 so we can improve the interface, game selection, and loading speeds.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: Your device and session data is monitored to detect suspicious activity, protect against account takeovers, and ensure fair play across all games.
• Legal Compliance: Where required by law, Aceph21 may use your data to comply with regulatory obligations, court orders, or NPC directives.
• Promotions & Bonuses: If you have opted in, we may use your contact details to send you information about exclusive Aceph21 promotions, reload bonuses, and special events.

4Data Sharing & Third Parties

Aceph21 respects your privacy. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. However, there are situations where we may share data with trusted third parties to deliver our services properly:

Payment Processors

To complete your financial transactions, we share the minimum necessary data with licensed Philippine payment processors and banks. These include e-wallet providers like GCash and Maya, as well as partner banks such as BDO, BPI, and UnionBank. All partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Regulatory Authorities

As a licensed gaming operator, Aceph21 may be required to share player information with Philippine government agencies, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement when legally mandated. This is done only to the extent required and is not voluntary disclosure.

Technology Service Providers

We work with reputable technology vendors for hosting, analytics, and customer support tools. These providers access only the data they need to perform their specific function, and all are contractually obligated to protect your information.

Aceph21 will never share your data with social media platforms, advertising networks, or any unauthorised third party without your explicit consent.

5Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Aceph21 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work properly and to give you a better experience. Here is a breakdown of what we use:

You can manage or clear cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect the performance of certain Aceph21 features.

6Data Security

Aceph21 takes a multi-layered approach to keeping your data secure. No platform can guarantee 100% security, but here is what we do to protect your information:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and Aceph21 servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
• Secure Data Storage: Sensitive account and financial data is stored on protected servers with restricted access and regular security audits.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We offer 2FA options to add an extra layer of protection to your Aceph21 account.
• Internal Access Controls: Only authorised Aceph21 staff with a specific business need can access player data, and all access is logged and reviewed.
• Regular Security Testing: Our systems undergo routine vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and fix weaknesses before they become issues.

7Data Retention

Aceph21 keeps your personal data only for as long as it is necessary. The retention periods vary depending on the type of data and applicable legal requirements:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your account's active status on the Aceph21 platform.
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records are kept for a minimum of five (5) years in compliance with Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents are retained for five (5) years after account closure, as required by RA 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act).
• Gaming Logs: Bet and session logs are retained for three (3) years for dispute resolution purposes.
• Marketing Data: If you have opted out of marketing communications, we retain a minimal record of your opt-out to ensure we do not contact you again.

When the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you.
