898 Privacy Policy

898 ("we", "us", "our") operates an online gaming platform at 898.cl, serving players located in the Philippines. This Privacy Policy describes how 898 collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information about registered players and visitors to the platform.

We are committed to handling your personal data responsibly. This policy is written in plain language so that every player – whether you are in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere in the Philippines – can understand exactly how your information is used.

This Privacy Policy forms part of the 898 Terms and Conditions. By accepting the Terms and Conditions during registration, you also confirm your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

The information 898 collects falls into three main categories: data you provide directly, data generated by your use of the platform, and data from third parties involved in payment processing or fraud prevention.

Data You Provide

• Full legal name as it appears on your Philippine government-issued ID
• Date of birth (to verify age eligibility – you must be 21 or older)
• Mobile number and email address
• Home address in the Philippines
• Copies of identity documents submitted for KYC verification
• Financial information: bank account name and number used for transactions, e-wallet identifiers
• Any information you provide when contacting support

Data Generated Automatically

• IP address and approximate location data
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Login timestamps and session duration
• Games played, bets placed, and platform navigation patterns
• Cookie and session identifiers

Data from Third Parties

• Transaction confirmation data from Philippine banking and e-wallet payment processors
• Fraud screening flags from third-party fraud prevention services
• Identity verification results from KYC service providers where applicable

898 uses your personal data only for the purposes set out in this section. We do not use your data for purposes beyond what is listed here without your prior consent.

898 does not use your personal data to send unsolicited third-party marketing. Platform promotions and account notifications are sent to your registered contact details and relate only to your 898 account activity.

898 does not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

Payment Processors

To process deposits and withdrawals in PHP, 898 shares necessary transaction data with Philippine payment processors, banks, and e-wallet gateway providers. These parties are bound by data processing agreements and may only use your data for the specific purpose of completing your transaction.

KYC and Fraud Prevention Providers

For identity verification and fraud screening, 898 may share document and identity data with licensed KYC verification services. These providers process data under strict confidentiality agreements.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements

898 will disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts when required to do so by applicable Philippine law or valid legal process. We will disclose only the minimum data required to comply with the specific legal obligation.

Platform and Technical Providers

Third-party service providers supporting platform operations – such as server hosting, analytics, and customer support tools – may process limited data as part of providing those services. All such providers are required to handle data securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

898 implements technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

• SSL Encryption: All data in transit between your device and the 898 platform is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols.
• OTP Authentication: Account login and certain transactions require one-time password (OTP) verification via your registered mobile number.
• Access Controls: Personal data access within 898 is restricted to authorised personnel with a documented need for that data.
• Secure Storage: Data at rest is stored on secured servers. Payment credentials are not stored on 898 servers beyond what is needed for transaction reference.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in securing your account by choosing a strong password, keeping your OTP confidential, and logging out of shared devices after each session.

898 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period afterwards as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

• Account data is retained for the duration of your membership plus the statutory retention period required under applicable Philippine law.
• KYC identity documents are retained as required by anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations.
• Transaction records are retained for the period required for financial and tax compliance purposes.
• Support communications are retained for a reasonable period to support dispute resolution.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data management procedures.

As a registered player on 898, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data 898 holds about you.
• Right to Correction: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected. For critical account details, correction may require re-verification.
• Right to Deletion: Subject to our legal and regulatory obligations, you may request the deletion of your personal data. Note that we are required to retain certain data (such as KYC records and transaction history) for the periods mandated by law.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your data for purposes based on our legitimate interests, such as analytics.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request that certain data be provided to you in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact 898 support at [email protected] with your registered account email and a description of your request. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Additional identity verification may be required before we process your request.

898 uses cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve the platform experience.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function. They keep you logged in during your session, store your language and display preferences, and enable secure transactions. These cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how players navigate the platform, which games are most visited, and where technical issues occur. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual players. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser's cookie settings.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from accessing most platform features. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to play games or manage your account.

The 898 platform is strictly for persons aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we become aware that a registered account belongs to a person under 21, we will close that account and delete the associated personal data, subject to any legal obligations to retain it.

If you believe a person under 21 has registered an account on 898, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

898 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. For significant changes, we may notify registered players through in-platform messaging or email to your registered address. Continued use of the platform following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
