4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 718pub processes personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to perform the contract between 718pub and the Player (i.e., providing the gaming platform and related services);
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Philippine law, including PAGCOR licensing requirements, AMLA reporting obligations, and tax regulations;
• Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for 718pub's legitimate interests in fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, provided such interests are not overridden by the Player's rights;
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where 718pub relies on your freely given, specific, informed consent which may be withdrawn at any time.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

718pub may share personal data with the following categories of recipients in the following circumstances:

• Game Content Providers: Third-party game studios (e.g., Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Evolution Gaming) receive limited technical session data necessary to operate their games within the 718pub platform. These providers are bound by data processing agreements consistent with applicable privacy law;
• Payment Service Providers: GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and other payment processors receive only the financial data necessary to process specific transactions;
• Regulatory Authorities: PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other competent Philippine authorities, where disclosure is required by law or regulatory order;
• Fraud Prevention Services: Specialist third-party fraud detection and identity verification platforms that assist 718pub in meeting its AML and KYC obligations;
• Legal and Professional Advisors: Philippine-based legal counsel, auditors, and compliance professionals where disclosure is necessary for legitimate professional advice;
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of 718pub's business or assets, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

718pub does not transfer personal data outside the Philippines to jurisdictions that do not provide adequate data protection standards without appropriate safeguards as required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

6. Data Retention

718pub retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following minimum retention requirements imposed by applicable Philippine law:

• Account and identity verification records: minimum five (5) years from account closure, as required by AMLA regulations;
• Transaction and betting records: minimum five (5) years from the date of each transaction;
• Customer support communications: three (3) years from the date of the communication;
• Marketing consent records: retained for the duration of your consent plus one (1) year following withdrawal of consent.

Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents re-identification. Anonymized aggregate data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and service improvement purposes.

7. Security Measures

718pub implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between the Player's device and 718pub's servers;
• Encrypted storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms — plaintext passwords are never stored or accessible by 718pub staff;
• Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis;
• Regular penetration testing and security audits of the 718pub platform and infrastructure;
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) availability for all Player accounts to add an additional layer of login security;
• Incident response procedures enabling prompt notification to affected Players and the National Privacy Commission in the event of a personal data breach as required by the Data Privacy Act.

While 718pub implements these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords and to enable 2FA on their 718pub accounts to maximize personal account security.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

718pub uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the 718pub.vip website to enable platform functionality, analyze usage patterns, and where consent has been obtained, to support marketing activities. The categories of cookies used include:

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the 718pub platform, including the 718pub login function.

10. Minors & Age Restriction

718pub strictly prohibits access to its platform by individuals under 21 years of age, consistent with Philippine law governing casino-style gambling. 718pub does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If 718pub discovers that personal data has been inadvertently collected from an individual under the age of 21, that data will be immediately and permanently deleted, the associated account will be closed, and any funds deposited will be returned via the original payment method after appropriate verification. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has registered on 718pub should contact support immediately via live chat or email.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

718pub may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. When material changes are made, 718pub will notify registered Players via the mobile number or email address on file, and display a prominent notice on the platform for a minimum of fourteen (14) days following the change.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when the most recent revision was made. Continued use of the 718pub platform following notification of a material change constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the updated terms, you must cease using the platform and may request account closure.

12. Contact & Data Protection Officer

718pub has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) as required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012. For any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or your personal data, you may contact 718pub through the following channels:
