gc88 collects personal data through the following means:
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, gc88 processes personal data on the following lawful bases:
gc88 uses your identity, contact, and technical data to create and maintain your player account; to verify your identity and age (21+ requirement); to authenticate your login sessions; to process deposits and withdrawals; to settle game results; to manage bonus eligibility and wagering progress; and to provide responsive customer support.
gc88 uses identity, financial, and gaming activity data to fulfil its obligations under PAGCOR licensing conditions, including player identity verification and the maintenance of gaming activity records. gc88 also uses this data to comply with AMLC reporting requirements under the AMLA, including the flagging and reporting of covered and suspicious transactions involving player accounts.
Technical data — including IP addresses, device identifiers, and session information — is used to detect and prevent fraudulent account activity, identify and close duplicate accounts, flag unusual betting patterns, and protect the integrity of the gc88 platform and its player community. This processing is conducted in gc88's legitimate interest in maintaining a fair and secure gaming environment.
Gaming activity data is monitored by gc88's responsible gaming systems to identify potential indicators of problem gambling behaviour, including rapid escalation of bet sizes, extended uninterrupted session durations, and unusual deposit frequency. Where such indicators are detected, gc88 may take proactive steps including making responsible gaming information available, applying deposit limits, or, in cases of self-exclusion requests, suspending account access. Visit the gc88 Responsible Gaming page for details on the tools available to you.
Where you have provided your consent, gc88 uses your contact data and marketing preferences to send you personalised promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates via email and SMS. Each marketing communication will include a clear and easy mechanism to opt out of future communications. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use gc88 or receive transactional notifications related to your account.
gc88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your data is used only for the purposes described in this Policy.
gc88 shares personal data only with parties who have a legitimate need to receive it in connection with the purposes described in this Policy, and only to the extent necessary for those purposes. Personal data may be disclosed to the following categories of recipients:
gc88 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, gc88 will securely delete, anonymise, or aggregate personal data so that it can no longer be used to identify you.
gc88 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:
While gc88 takes comprehensive security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. If you suspect your gc88 account has been compromised, contact gc88 support immediately via live chat.
gc88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on the gc88.lat platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that allow gc88 to recognise your browser across sessions, maintain your login state, and collect usage data for platform optimisation and security purposes.
You may control non-essential Cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to receive a notification before a cookie is set. Note that disabling certain Cookies may affect the functionality of the gc88 platform, including your ability to remain logged in across pages or to access personalised features.
As a data subject under Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012), you are entitled to exercise the following rights in relation to your personal data held by gc88. To exercise any of these rights, contact gc88 support via live chat or at [email protected].
You have the right to be informed that your personal data is being collected and processed, including the purposes for which it is processed — as set out in this Policy.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data gc88 holds about you, along with information about how that data has been processed.
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading personal data held by gc88 in relation to your account.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, if the data is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected. This right is subject to gc88's statutory retention obligations.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on gc88's legitimate interests.
If you believe gc88 has processed your personal data in violation of the DPA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
gc88 will respond to data subject rights requests within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. For complex requests, gc88 may extend this period by an additional fifteen (15) business days upon notification to you. gc88 reserves the right to verify your identity before processing any data subject rights request to protect against unauthorised disclosure of personal data.
21+ Strictly Enforced: The gc88 platform is restricted to individuals aged 21 and above in compliance with PAGCOR regulations. gc88 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If gc88 discovers that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 21, that data will be promptly deleted and the associated account will be permanently closed.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a minor under your care has registered on gc88, please contact gc88 support immediately via live chat or at [email protected]. gc88 will investigate and, if confirmed, close the account and delete the associated personal data as soon as practicable, subject to any legal retention obligations that may apply.
Some of the third-party service providers used by gc88 — including certified game studio providers and KYC/AML screening platforms — may process personal data outside of the Philippines. Where such cross-border transfers occur, gc88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by the DPA and NPC regulations, including:
If you would like more information about the specific countries to which gc88 transfers personal data and the safeguards in place, you may contact gc88's Data Protection Officer using the details provided in Section 14.
gc88 reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, NPC guidance, gc88's data processing activities, or the services offered on the platform. When amendments are made, gc88 will publish the updated Policy on gc88.lat with a revised "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
For material changes that significantly affect your rights or the way gc88 processes your personal data, gc88 will endeavour to provide advance notice via email or an in-platform notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect, where operationally practicable. Your continued use of the gc88 platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
If you do not agree with the amended Policy, you should cease using the gc88 platform and may request account closure in accordance with the Terms & Conditions. gc88 will process any eligible balance and handle the associated personal data in accordance with the retention obligations described in Section 7 of this Policy.
gc88 has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing gc88's compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act and handling data subject rights requests and privacy-related enquiries. You may contact the gc88 DPO through the following channels:
If you believe your data privacy rights under the DPA have been violated and gc88 has been unable to resolve your concern, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. Information about the NPC complaint process is available through the NPC's official channels.
For all other enquiries about your gc88 account, including questions about account features, payments, bonuses, or responsible gaming tools, please visit the gc88 FAQ page or contact gc88 support via live chat.
Six principles that guide every data decision at gc88
gc88 never sells, rents, or trades personal data to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Your data is used solely to operate your account, process payments, comply with regulations, and — with your consent — send gc88 promotions.
All personal data processing at gc88 is conducted in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012), its Implementing Rules, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
gc88 collects only the personal data that is genuinely necessary for the identified purposes. We do not collect personal data speculatively or maintain data longer than required by applicable law and this Policy.
Access, correction, erasure, and objection rights under the DPA are not just listed in a policy document — they are operationalised through gc88's support processes with a 15-business-day response commitment.
256-bit TLS encryption protects all data in transit. Sensitive data fields — including government ID numbers and financial account references — are encrypted at rest. Security is audited regularly by independent third parties.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights, gc88 will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframe required by the DPA and its implementing regulations.
Your personal data is protected under the Philippine Data Privacy Act and gc88's comprehensive security standards. Ready to play? All games, payments, and withdrawals in Philippine Peso. 21+ only.
