ggcasino Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to the ggcasino Privacy Policy. ggcasino ("we," "us," "our," or the "Platform") is committed to protecting the personal information of every player who registers and plays on ggcasino.vip. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal data when you access or use the ggcasino Platform, including our website, mobile interface, and any related services.

This policy is written in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). It also reflects our obligations under PAGCOR's responsible gaming and player protection framework.

By creating a ggcasino account or continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Platform immediately.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ggcasino acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data you provide when using the Platform. This means ggcasino determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.

Where ggcasino engages third-party service providers to process data on its behalf — such as payment processors, identity verification providers, or analytics platforms — those parties act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) and are contractually bound to process your data only in accordance with ggcasino's instructions and applicable Philippine law.

3. Personal Data We Collect

ggcasino collects personal data through several channels: directly from you during registration and account use, automatically through your interaction with the Platform, and from trusted third-party sources where permitted by law. The categories of data we collect include:

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

ggcasino uses your personal data for the following purposes:

• Account Registration & Management: To create and maintain your ggcasino account, verify your identity, and ensure only one account exists per player.
• Service Delivery: To provide access to games, process deposits and withdrawals via GCash, Maya, and bank transfer, and deliver customer support.
• KYC & AML Compliance: To verify your identity and age (21+), conduct source-of-funds checks, and comply with anti-money laundering obligations under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations.
