s8k8 Privacy Policy

s8k8 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all individuals ("you", "the Player", "the User") who access or use the s8k8 online gaming and sports betting platform.

By registering an account, logging in to s8k8, or otherwise using the s8k8 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the s8k8 platform.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside s8k8's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which form part of the overall framework governing your relationship with s8k8.

s8k8 collects personal data through the following channels:

• Direct Registration: When you create an s8k8 account, you provide identity, contact, and basic personal data directly through the registration form.
• KYC Verification Process: During identity verification, you submit copies of government-issued documents and any supplementary information requested by our compliance team.
• Deposits and Withdrawals: Financial data is captured automatically when you initiate transactions through GCash, PayMaya, or linked bank accounts.
• Platform Usage: As you navigate the s8k8 website and play games, technical and usage data is collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools.
• Customer Support: Any communication you have with our support team via live chat or email generates a record that is stored for quality assurance, compliance, and dispute resolution purposes.
• Third-Party Verification Providers: Where we use licensed third-party identity verification or fraud detection services, those providers may share data they hold about you with s8k8 strictly for verification purposes.

s8k8 uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes:

s8k8 will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes stated above without first obtaining your explicit consent or unless required by Philippine law.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its IRR, s8k8 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to fulfill our obligations to you under the s8k8 Terms and Conditions — including account management, transaction processing, and service delivery.
• Consent: Processing based on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent — including sending marketing communications and, where applicable, processing sensitive personal information.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine laws and PAGCOR regulations, including KYC verification, AML monitoring, and reporting obligations under AMLC directives.
• Legitimate Interest: Processing necessary for s8k8's legitimate business interests — such as fraud prevention, platform security, and internal analytics — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Vital Interests: In exceptional circumstances, processing necessary to protect the vital interests of you or another person, including responsible gaming interventions where account activity suggests potential harm.

Where s8k8 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time by adjusting your account settings or contacting our Data Protection Officer. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

s8k8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties, strictly on a need-to-know basis and only to the extent necessary:

• Payment Processors: GCash (GXI), PayMaya (Voyager Innovations), BPI, BDO, and Metrobank receive the minimum financial data required to process your deposits and withdrawals. Each payment provider operates under their own privacy policy and regulatory framework.
• Identity Verification Providers: Licensed KYC and AML screening providers assist us in verifying your identity and screening transactions for regulatory compliance purposes.
• Game Content Providers: Third-party game studios and live casino operators whose games are available on s8k8 may receive aggregated, non-personally identifiable gameplay data for fair game auditing purposes.
• Regulatory Authorities: PAGCOR, AMLC, the National Privacy Commission, and other authorized Philippine government bodies may receive data as required by law, court order, or regulatory direction.
• IT and Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Hosting, storage, and cybersecurity providers who process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements that bind them to the same level of data protection as s8k8.
• Professional Advisors: Legal counsel, auditors, and compliance consultants, subject to professional confidentiality obligations.

s8k8 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your account's active life, plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction, as required by the AMLC and Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) regulations.
• KYC Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure or the completion of the last transaction, whichever is later.
• Customer Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the interaction, or longer where the communication relates to an unresolved dispute or legal matter.
• Technical and Usage Data: Retained for up to twelve (12) months in identifiable form, after which it may be retained in anonymized, aggregated form indefinitely for analytical purposes.
• Marketing Preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account, with a record of your opt-out maintained for three (3) years to demonstrate compliance.

At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with NPC-approved data disposal procedures.

As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by s8k8:
