Section 1

Introduction

pko88 ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all users ("you," "Player," "Data Subject") who access or use the pko88 online casino platform. This Privacy Policy has been prepared in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173, "DPA"), its Implementing Rules and Regulations ("IRR"), and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission ("NPC").

We understand that entrusting us with your personal information is a significant act of confidence. pko88 takes that responsibility seriously. This Policy is designed to be transparent about our data practices so that you can make informed decisions about your personal information.

Section 2

Data Controller

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, pko88 is the personal information controller ("PIC") in respect of the personal data it collects and processes in connection with the operation of the pko88 platform.

As the PIC, pko88 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data. Where pko88 engages third-party service providers to process data on its behalf (for example, payment processors or identity verification providers), those parties act as personal information processors ("PIPs") and are contractually bound to process your data only in accordance with pko88's instructions and applicable Philippine law.

pko88 is accountable for the personal data under its control. We have appointed a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") to oversee compliance with the Data Privacy Act and to serve as your point of contact for privacy-related concerns.
