This Privacy Policy explains how 8k9 collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information. Your privacy matters to us — and to PAGCOR, whose regulations require responsible data handling by all licensed gaming operators.
8k9 processes personal data in accordance with the Republic Act No. 10173 — the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 — and its Implementing Rules and Regulations as overseen by the National Privacy Commission.
All personal data transmitted between your device and 8k9 servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL. This protects your login credentials, KYC documents, and financial information from interception in transit.
As a data subject under Philippine law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and object to the processing of your personal data. 8k9 provides straightforward channels to exercise these rights.
8k9 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Data shared with third parties is limited to what is necessary for platform operations and legal compliance.
8k9 does not keep your data indefinitely. Retention periods are defined by legal requirements (e.g., PAGCOR transaction records) and operational necessity. Data is securely deleted when retention periods expire.
As a PAGCOR-regulated operator, 8k9 is subject to data handling audits and reporting requirements. Our privacy practices are reviewed as part of the PAGCOR licensing oversight framework.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how 8k9 ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects the personal information of individuals ("Data Subject," "Player," or "You") who access or use the 8k9 online gaming platform at 8k9.one. This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and applicable PAGCOR data governance requirements. By using 8k9, you consent to the practices described herein.
8k9 is the data controller responsible for the personal information processed through the 8k9 platform. As a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming operator serving Filipino players across the Philippines — in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and nationwide — 8k9 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data in connection with account registration, gameplay, financial transactions, customer support, and regulatory compliance.
For all privacy-related inquiries, the 8k9 Data Protection Officer (DPO) can be reached through the contact details provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

8k9 may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
8k9 is required by law to disclose relevant player and transaction data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government bodies when lawfully required. 8k9 will not disclose your data to any government authority without a valid legal basis unless required by emergency circumstances involving risk to life.
8k9 does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes unrelated to the operation of the 8k9 platform.
8k9 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. The categories of cookies in use are:
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent access to certain 8k9 features. Disabling security cookies may limit fraud protection measures on your account.
8k9 implements technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:
While 8k9 applies industry-standard security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are encouraged to maintain strong passwords and enable 2FA to protect their accounts against unauthorized access.
8k9 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following retention guidelines:
Upon expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer identify you.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 8k9:
Request a copy of the personal data 8k9 holds about you and information on how it is being used.
Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal data held by 8k9.
Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements and ongoing contractual obligations.
Object to processing based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing purposes.
Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
Request restriction of processing while a correction or objection request is being assessed by 8k9.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the 8k9 Data Protection Officer as detailed in Section 14. 8k9 will respond to verified data subject requests within fifteen (15) business days. Some requests may be subject to identity verification before processing. Rights may be limited where legal retention obligations apply.
If you believe 8k9 has violated your data privacy rights, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC) through the official NPC complaint channels.
8k9 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Access to 8k9 is strictly prohibited for persons under 21 years of age under both PAGCOR regulations and 8k9's Terms and Conditions. KYC age verification is required before full account access, specifically to prevent underage access to gambling services.
If 8k9 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 without appropriate verification, that account will be immediately suspended, the data will be promptly deleted (subject to any regulatory reporting obligations), and any deposits will be returned to the payment source after investigation.
Parents and guardians who believe their child under 21 has registered an 8k9 account are encouraged to contact 8k9 support immediately via live chat or at [email protected].
8k9's operations are based in the Philippines and data is primarily stored on servers located within the Philippines or in jurisdictions that provide adequate data protection as recognized under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. Where data is transferred to third-party service providers located outside the Philippines (such as cloud infrastructure or KYC verification partners), 8k9 ensures that such transfers are conducted under appropriate data processing agreements that require the recipient to maintain data protection standards equivalent to those required by Philippine law.
8k9 does not transfer your personal data to jurisdictions that do not meet the NPC's adequacy standards without implementing appropriate safeguards.
8k9 may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, PAGCOR regulatory guidance, or our data practices. Material changes will be communicated to registered Players via the email address on file or through a login notification prior to the changes taking effect. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when the most recent revision was made.
The current version of this Policy is always available at 8k9.one/privacy-policy. Continued use of 8k9 following the effective date of any updated Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. If you disagree with an updated Policy, you may request account closure before the effective date of the change.

For regulatory escalations, players may also contact the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines through official NPC channels, or PAGCOR for gaming-specific regulatory concerns.
