How We Handle Your Information

This policy applies to all players who access pcso lotto through any device in the Philippines. We are committed to transparency about every aspect of data collection and use.

1. Information We Collect

When you register and use the pcso lotto platform, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to operate your account and deliver our services to you in the Philippines. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and the payment details you provide when making deposits or requesting withdrawals. We also collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs to help us maintain platform security and improve your experience. In some cases, we may request a government-issued identification document to verify your identity in line with applicable regulations. All information you submit is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel for legitimate operational purposes. We do not collect any personal data beyond what is reasonably necessary to provide you with a safe and functional gaming environment.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we collect is used primarily to create and manage your player account, process financial transactions, and provide customer support when you need assistance. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our platform policies. Technical data helps us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect the integrity of our games, and ensure that the platform operates reliably for all players across the Philippines. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform usage trends and improve our service offerings over time. We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that would significantly affect your rights without human review. Your data will never be sold to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes, and we do not share it with external organisations except as described in this policy.

3. Sharing of Information

pcso lotto does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and technical infrastructure providers, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their specific functions. All third-party partners are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy standards and are prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond the service they provide to us. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies in the Philippines if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request. In the event of a business restructuring or transfer of platform ownership, your data may be transferred as part of that process, and you will be notified in advance. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that any party receiving your data maintains appropriate security and confidentiality standards.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols to prevent interception during transfer. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to staff members who require it to perform their job functions, and all such access is logged and monitored. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks to our systems. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities in the Philippines as required by applicable law. While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to keep your login credentials confidential at all times.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your account is closed, we will securely delete or anonymise your personal data unless we are required by law to retain it for a longer period. Transaction records and identity verification documents may be kept for a minimum period as required by applicable financial regulations in the Philippines. You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting our support team, subject to any legal retention requirements that may apply. We review our data retention practices periodically to ensure that we are not holding information longer than necessary. Our goal is to minimise the amount of personal data we hold while still meeting our operational and regulatory obligations.

6. Your Rights

As a player based in the Philippines, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request a copy of that data at any time. You may also request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in your account records. If you believe that your data is being processed in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy or applicable law, you have the right to raise a concern with our support team or with the relevant data protection authority. You may withdraw your consent to certain types of data processing at any time, though this may affect your ability to use some features of the platform. We will respond to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe and will keep you informed of the progress of your request. To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the support details provided on this page.
