1. Introduction

pinascatter ("we", "us", "our") operates the online gaming platform at pinascatter.vu, which is intended solely for players in the Philippines. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect the personal information of registered players and visitors to our platform.

By creating an account or using any part of pinascatter, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. It applies alongside our Terms and Conditions and is incorporated by reference into the overall agreement between you and pinascatter.

2. Information We Collect

• Full legal name
• Date of birth (to verify age eligibility of 21+)
• Philippine mobile number
• Email address
• Username and password (stored securely using industry-standard hashing)

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

Before your first withdrawal can be processed, we require identity verification documents, which may include:

• Government-issued photo ID (such as a Philippine passport, driver's licence, or UMID)
• Proof of address
• Selfie or liveness verification, where required

2.3 Transaction Data

Every deposit and withdrawal processed on your account is recorded, including the amount in PHP, date, time, payment method used, and transaction reference number.

2.4 Usage and Device Data

We automatically collect certain technical data when you use the platform, including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser, session duration, pages visited, and in-game activity. This data is used for security, fraud prevention, and platform improvement.

3. How We Use Your Data

pinascatter uses the personal information we collect only for lawful purposes that are directly connected to operating the platform and serving you as a player. Specifically, your data is used to:

• Create and manage your account on pinascatter
• Process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso (PHP)
• Verify your identity and age in compliance with applicable requirements
• Detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and prohibited account activity
• Provide customer support when you contact us
• Improve platform performance, fix bugs, and develop new features
• Operate responsible gaming tools, including activity monitoring and self-exclusion functions
• Send you service-related communications such as account notifications and security alerts
• Comply with our legal obligations under applicable Philippine law

4. Sharing Your Personal Data

pinascatter does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own commercial use. We may, however, share specific data with the following categories of third parties under limited circumstances:

• Payment Processors: When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal via GCash, Maya, or bank transfer, your transaction data is shared with the relevant payment provider to the extent necessary to process the transaction in PHP.
• Identity Verification Providers: KYC documents may be processed through a trusted third-party verification service. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may only use your data for the specific purpose of identity verification.
• Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose personal data to Philippine law enforcement agencies, courts, or regulatory bodies when required by law or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights and safety of our players or the platform.
• Technology and Infrastructure Partners: Service providers who assist with hosting, security, and platform operations may have access to certain data as part of their service delivery. All such providers are contractually required to handle data securely and only for the purposes specified.

In every case, we only share the minimum data necessary and require appropriate data protection safeguards from all parties involved.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously. pinascatter uses a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our platform
• Secure password storage using hashing algorithms; passwords are never stored in plaintext
• OTP-based two-factor verification for login and sensitive account actions
• Access to personal data within our organisation is limited to staff who need it to perform their specific duties
• Regular security reviews and monitoring for suspicious activity on accounts and transactions

While we take every reasonable precaution, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account safe – use a strong, unique password and never share your login credentials with anyone.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

pinascatter retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by our legal and compliance obligations. Specifically:

• Account and registration data is retained for the duration of your account and for a defined period after closure, as required by applicable law.
• Transaction records, including all deposits and withdrawals in PHP, are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction for financial recordkeeping and compliance purposes.
• KYC and identity verification documents are retained in accordance with anti-money laundering and identity verification requirements under Philippine law.
• Support communications are retained for a reasonable period to allow for follow-up and resolution of ongoing matters.

When your data is no longer required for any of the above purposes, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data handling procedures.
