• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Philippine law and any other binding regulatory requirement.
• Legitimate interests: Processing reasonably necessary to operate the platform securely, prevent fraud, and improve service quality, balanced against the interests and rights of members.
• Consent: Where bingo101 relies on your consent for a specific data use, such as receiving optional promotional communications, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.

5. Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure

bingo101 does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Information may be disclosed to the following categories of third party only where necessary and proportionate:

• Corporate transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or other corporate restructuring, personal data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

bingo101 requires all third parties who receive personal data to handle it securely and only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

bingo101 uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies to support platform functionality, remember your session state, and gather aggregated data about how members use the platform.

Types of Cookies Used

• Essential cookies: Required for the bingo101 platform to function. These include session authentication cookies and security tokens. The platform cannot operate correctly without them.
• Functional cookies: Store your preferences such as odds format, language settings, and notification preferences, so you do not need to re-enter them each session.
• Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about page visits and navigation patterns to help bingo101 understand how the platform is used and where improvements can be made.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect platform functionality. bingo101 does not use cookies to display advertising on third-party websites.

7. Data Retention

bingo101 retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for any additional period required by applicable law after account closure. Specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected:

• Account registration data and identity documents are retained for the duration of account activity and for any legally required period after closure, which may extend to several years under Philippine anti-money-laundering and gaming regulations.
• Transaction records are retained for the period required by applicable financial and regulatory obligations.
• Gameplay logs are retained for account management and dispute resolution purposes and for any mandatory regulatory retention period.
• Support communications are retained for a reasonable period following resolution of the relevant matter.

When personal data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, bingo101 will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

8. Security

bingo101 applies technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Encrypted connections for data transmitted between your device and the bingo101 platform.
• Access controls limiting internal staff access to personal data to those with a legitimate operational need.
• Regular security reviews and monitoring of the bingo101 platform for vulnerabilities and unusual access patterns.
• Secure storage practices for personal data retained by bingo101 and its service providers.

While bingo101 takes these precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Members also play a role in protecting their accounts by using a strong, unique password, keeping login credentials private, and notifying bingo101 immediately if they suspect unauthorised account access.

9. Your Data Rights

As a bingo101 member and data subject, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data bingo101 holds about you, subject to applicable law and any lawful grounds for retaining that data:

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal data bingo101 holds about your account.
• Correction: You may request that inaccurate or incomplete data be corrected. For most details, you can update your account information directly through the member settings area of the platform.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of personal data where bingo101 no longer has a legal or operational basis to retain it. Note that data subject to mandatory regulatory retention obligations cannot be deleted before the applicable retention period expires.
• Restriction: In certain circumstances, you may request that bingo101 limit the processing of your personal data while a dispute or correction request is being reviewed.
• Objection: You may object to personal data being processed on the basis of legitimate interests where your particular circumstances justify such an objection.
• Withdrawal of consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact bingo101 at support@bingo101.biz with your registered account name and a clear description of the right you wish to exercise. bingo101 will respond within a reasonable period and may need to verify your identity before acting on the request.

10. Children and Minors

bingo101 is strictly for adults who meet the applicable eligibility requirements. The platform does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under eighteen (18) years of age. If bingo101 becomes aware that a minor has provided personal data or created an account, that account will be closed and any associated data deleted.

If you believe a minor may have accessed bingo101, please contact support at support@bingo101.biz immediately.

11. Policy Updates

bingo101 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, platform features, or data handling practices. When the policy is updated, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated review date.

Continued use of the bingo101 platform after a revised Privacy Policy is posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you disagree with any update, you should stop using the platform and request account closure before the new policy takes effect.
