1. Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to all members and visitors of the desk gaming platform, accessible at deskgaming.net. It explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you register an account, place bets, join bingo sessions, participate in the VIP programme, or otherwise interact with our services. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently, in line with applicable data protection laws in the Philippines. This policy covers all personal data collected through the platform, including information provided during registration, financial transactions, and general platform use. By creating an account and using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should discontinue use of the platform and contact our support team to close your account. We may update this policy from time to time, and the latest version will always be available on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage all members to review this page periodically to stay informed of any changes.

2. What Personal Data Do We Collect?

When you register on desk gaming, we collect personal information including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method details and transaction history, which are necessary for processing deposits and withdrawals securely. During your use of the platform, we automatically gather technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. If you contact our support team, we may retain records of that correspondence, including any documents you submit for identity verification purposes. We collect this information only to the extent necessary to provide you with a safe, functional, and personalised gaming experience. All data collection is carried out in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection regulations. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time by contacting our support team.

3. How and Why We Use Your Information

The personal data we collect is used primarily to operate and maintain your account, process financial transactions, and deliver the full range of platform features including sports betting, bingo, and the VIP rewards programme. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our terms or policies — these communications are essential to your membership and cannot be opted out of. Technical data such as IP addresses and session logs are used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect the integrity of the platform, and ensure a fair experience for all members. We may use aggregated, anonymised data for internal analytics and platform improvement purposes, but this data cannot be used to identify you individually. Your information may also be used to verify your identity and age as required by responsible gaming obligations applicable in the Philippines. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. All data processing activities are carried out on a lawful basis, including contractual necessity, legal obligation, and legitimate interest.

4. Who Else Can Access Your Data?

desk gaming does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. 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 — all of whom are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. In certain circumstances, we may be required by law or regulatory authority in the Philippines to disclose your personal information, and we will comply with such requirements while taking reasonable steps to notify you where legally permitted. If desk gaming undergoes a business restructure, merger, or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We do not share your data with other gaming platforms, advertisers, or data brokers under any circumstances. Any third-party service providers we engage are carefully vetted and are required to maintain data security standards consistent with our own. You may request details of the categories of third parties with whom your data has been shared by contacting our support team.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Data?

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in the Philippines. Financial transaction records are kept for a minimum period as required by applicable financial regulations, even after an account has been closed. Identity verification documents are retained for the period required by anti-money laundering and responsible gaming regulations, after which they are securely deleted. Technical logs and session data are typically retained for a shorter period and are used solely for security and fraud prevention purposes. If you request the deletion of your account and personal data, we will action your request promptly, subject to any overriding legal obligations that require us to retain certain records. Once the applicable retention period has expired, your data is securely destroyed or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you. If you have questions about specific retention periods for particular categories of data, please contact our support team for clarification.

6. What Are Your Rights as a Member?

As a member of desk gaming based in the Philippines, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data that we are committed to upholding. You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to receive a copy of that data in a clear and understandable format. You may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data without undue delay. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain it. You also have the right to object to or restrict certain types of data processing, particularly where processing is based on our legitimate interests rather than a legal obligation. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details provided on the platform, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We will never penalise you for exercising your data rights, and all requests will be handled with care and confidentiality.

7. How Do We Protect Your Information?

desk gaming employs industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols, and sensitive financial information is handled through certified payment processing systems. Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to personnel who require it to perform their job functions, and all staff are trained on data protection obligations. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks to the integrity of our systems. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant regulatory authority in the Philippines as required by law. While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no system is entirely immune to risk, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account and to keep your login credentials confidential. If you suspect any unauthorised access to your account, please contact our support team immediately.
