1. Information We Collect

When you register and use rich9, we collect the personal information necessary to operate your account and comply with applicable laws in the Philippines. This includes your full name, date of birth, contact details such as your mobile number and email address, and payment information used to process deposits. We also collect technical data automatically when you access the platform, including your device type, browser, IP address, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us maintain platform security, detect unusual activity, and improve the overall experience for Filipino players. We do not collect more information than is reasonably necessary for these purposes, and we do not collect sensitive personal data such as government ID numbers unless required for identity verification under applicable regulations. All information collected is handled in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and other relevant Philippine laws governing the protection of personal data.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we collect is used primarily to create and manage your rich9 account, process your deposits and transactions in Philippine pesos, and provide access to our games and platform features. We also use your information to verify your identity and age eligibility, to detect and prevent fraud or prohibited activity, and to respond to your support enquiries. Where you have opted in, we may use your contact details to send you platform updates or relevant notifications — you can opt out of these communications at any time by contacting our support team. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that producessignificant legal effects on you without human review. Your data is never sold to third parties, and we only share it with authorised payment processors or where required by Philippine law or a valid legal order.

3. Sharing of Personal Data

rich9 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 third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors and identity verification partners, but only to the extent necessary for those specific purposes and under strict confidentiality obligations. All third-party partners we work with are required to handle your data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine data protection law. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if we are legally required to do so or if disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of rich9 or other players. In the event of a business restructuring or transfer of platform operations, your personal data may be transferred as part of that process, and you will be notified in advance where required by law. We do not transfer your personal data outside the Philippines unless adequate data protection safeguards are in place and the transfer is permitted under applicable regulations.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required by applicable laws and regulations in the Philippines. Transaction records and account activity logs may be retained for a longer period to comply with financial record-keeping obligations or to resolve any disputes that arise after account closure. When your data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you. If you request account closure, we will process the deletion of your personal data in accordance with our standard procedures, subject to any legal retention requirements that may apply. You may contact our support team to enquire about the specific retention periods applicable to your account data. We periodically review the data we hold to ensure that we are not retaining information beyond what is necessary or permitted.

5. Security Measures

rich9 takes the security of your personal information seriously and implements reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include encrypted data transmission, access controls that limit who within our organisation can view your personal data, and regular security reviews of our platform infrastructure. While we work hard to protect your information, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and you should also take steps to protect your own account by using a strong, unique password and not sharing your login credentials with anyone. If you suspect that your account has been accessed without your authorisation, please contact our support team immediately so we can take appropriate action. We will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities in the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, in accordance with our obligations under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Security incidents are investigated promptly, and we continuously improve our protective measures based on emerging threats and best practices.

6. Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a player based in the Philippines, you have rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 with respect to the personal information we hold about you. These rights include the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used, the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and the right to request corrections if any of that information is inaccurate or incomplete. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, and the right to request erasure of your data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any legal retention obligations. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details provided on our FAQ page, and we will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your data rights, and all requests will be handled respectfully and in good faith. If you believe your data rights have been violated, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
