Data Protection & Your Rights
At u88, we take the privacy of every member seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use our platform, how we use and protect that information, and what rights you have over your own data. We are committed to handling your details responsibly and in line with applicable Philippine data protection standards. Please read through this page so you know exactly how your information is managed from the moment you register.
What We Collect & Why
When you create an account with u88, we collect the personal information you submit during registration, including your full name, date of birth, contact number, and email address. We also collect any payment details you provide when making deposits or requesting withdrawals, such as your preferred payment method and associated account identifiers. If you contact our support team, we may retain records of that communication to help resolve your query and improve our service. All information you submit is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel who need it to carry out their role. We do not ask for more information than is necessary to operate your account and process your transactions safely.
In addition to the details you actively provide, we automatically collect certain technical information when you access the platform, including your device type, operating system, browser version, IP address, and session timestamps. This data helps us maintain platform security, detect unusual activity, and ensure that the service performs reliably across different devices and network conditions. We also record your in-platform activity, such as the games you play, bets you place, and pages you visit, in order to personalise your experience and identify any issues that may need attention. This activity data is linked to your account and retained for as long as your account remains active or as required by applicable regulations. None of this technical data is sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, we collect and retain records of your payment transactions, including amounts, timestamps, and the payment method used. Where identity verification is required before a withdrawal can be processed, we may request supporting documents such as a government-issued ID, and these documents are handled with strict confidentiality. Verification records are stored only for as long as required to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations, after which they are securely deleted. We do not store full card numbers or sensitive banking credentials on our servers — payment processing is handled through secure third-party payment providers who operate under their own data protection standards. If you have questions about how a specific payment provider handles your data, we recommend reviewing their own privacy documentation.
Any messages you send to our support team, whether through the platform's help centre or via email, are recorded and associated with your account to help us track the progress of your query and maintain a consistent service history. These records allow our team to follow up effectively and ensure that no issue is left unresolved. We may also use anonymised and aggregated feedback from support interactions to identify common issues and improve the platform experience for all members. We will never share the content of your support communications with third parties except where required by law or where necessary to resolve a dispute. If you would like a copy of your support history, you may request this through the support team directly.
How Your Data Is Used
The primary reason we collect your personal information is to create and maintain your u88 account, process your deposits and withdrawals, and ensure you can access the platform's features without interruption. Your details are also used to verify your identity when required, particularly before processing cash-out requests, in order to protect both you and the integrity of the platform. We use your contact information to send you important account-related notifications, such as confirmation of transactions or updates to these policies. We do not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected. If the purpose for processing your data changes significantly, we will notify you and, where required, seek your consent before proceeding.
Keeping the platform safe for all members is one of our core responsibilities, and your data plays an important role in helping us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and abuse of the platform. We monitor account activity patterns to identify behaviour that may indicate a security risk, and we may take action — including temporarily suspending an account — if suspicious activity is detected. Any security-related processing of your data is carried out in the legitimate interest of protecting both individual members and the platform as a whole. We retain security logs for a defined period to support any investigations that may be required, after which they are deleted in line with our data retention schedule. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation, please contact the support team immediately.
We use aggregated and anonymised data about how members use the platform to identify areas for improvement, fix technical issues, and develop new features that better serve the needs of Filipino players. This analysis does not involve identifying individual users — it is carried out at a population level to understand general usage trends. We are also required by applicable Philippine regulations to retain certain records for compliance and audit purposes, and your data may be processed to fulfil these legal obligations. Where we are required to share data with regulatory authorities, we will do so only to the extent required by law and will not disclose more information than is strictly necessary. Our compliance-related data processing is separate from our commercial operations and is handled with the same level of care and security.
Your Rights and Choices
To submit a data rights request, please contact our support team through the platform's help centre or send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request." We will verify your identity before processing any request to ensure that your data is not disclosed to or amended by an unauthorised party. Most requests are handled within 30 days, though complex cases may take a little longer, and we will keep you informed of progress throughout. There is no charge for submitting a data rights request, and we will never penalise you for exercising your rights. If you are unsatisfied with how your request has been handled, you may escalate the matter to the relevant Philippine data protection authority.
While we take extensive measures to protect your data on our end, the security of your account also depends on you keeping your login credentials private and not sharing them with anyone else. If you suspect that your account has been accessed without your permission, change your password immediately and contact the support team.
