What This Policy Covers

1. Information We Collect

When you register an account on apaldo, we collect the personal details you provide directly — including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and preferred payment method details. We also collect information generated by your use of the platform, such as login timestamps, device type, browser information, IP address, and betting or gaming activity records. Payment-related data, including transaction amounts, payment channel references, and withdrawal history, is recorded to process your requests and maintain accurate account records. If you contact our support team, the content of that communication may also be retained. We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary to operate your account, process transactions, verify your identity, and comply with applicable regulations in the Philippines. We do not collect sensitive personal information such as biometric data, health records, or government-issued ID numbers beyond what is strictly required for identity verification purposes. All data collection practices are designed to be proportionate, transparent, and consistent with the expectations of Filipino players using a licensed entertainment platform.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information collected by apaldo is used primarily to create and manage your player account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify that you meet the eligibility requirements to use the platform. We also use your data to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities that could harm the integrity of the platform or other players. Communication preferences and account activity data help us send you relevant account notifications, security alerts, and service updates — we do not use your contact details for unsolicited marketing without your consent. Aggregated and anonymised usage data may be analysed internally to improve platform performance, fix technical issues, and develop new features that better serve Filipino players. Where required by Philippine law or regulatory authority, we may use your information to fulfil legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or cooperate with investigations. We will never use your personal data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy without first notifying you and, where required, obtaining your consent. Your data is not used to make fully automated decisions that produce significant legal effects on you without human review.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

apaldo does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. We may share your data with carefully selected service providers who assist us in operating the platform — these include payment processors that handle PHP transactions, identity verification providers, and technical infrastructure partners who support platform availability and security. All third-party service providers are contractually required to handle your data securely and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We may also disclose your information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of apaldo, its players, or the public. In the event that apaldo undergoes a business restructuring, merger, or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will not share your data with any organisation located outside the Philippines unless adequate data protection safeguards are in place and the transfer is permitted under applicable law. Any sharing of data is limited strictly to what is necessary for the stated purpose.

4. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations in the Philippines. Transaction records, account history, and identity verification documents may be retained for a minimum period required by applicable anti-money laundering and gaming regulations, even after an account is closed. Data that is no longer needed for any legitimate purpose is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you. If you request the closure of your account, we will process that request promptly and cease active use of your personal data, while retaining only what is legally required. Backup copies of data may persist in secure storage for a limited period as part of our standard disaster recovery procedures, but these are not actively accessed or processed. We periodically review the data we hold to ensure that nothing is kept longer than necessary. If you have questions about specific retention periods, the FAQ page provides further guidance.

5. Your Rights Over Your Data

As a player based in the Philippines, you have the right to request access to the personal data that apaldo holds about you at any time. You may also request that inaccurate or incomplete information be corrected, and we will action such requests promptly upon verification of your identity. If you believe that your data is being processed in a way that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy or applicable law, you have the right to raise a concern with us directly through our support channels. In certain circumstances, you may request the deletion of your personal data — however, please note that we may be required to retain some information to comply with legal obligations even after such a request. You have the right to withdraw consent for any data processing that is based solely on your consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the details available on this platform and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Security Measures

apaldo implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols, and sensitive account information is stored in protected environments with restricted access controls. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks before they can affect player data. Our staff who handle personal data are trained on data protection obligations and are bound by confidentiality requirements. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements. While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and players are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords and to keep their login credentials confidential. If you suspect any unauthorised access to your account, please contact us immediately through the support details available on this platform.

7. Updates to This Policy

apaldo may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable regulations in the Philippines. When material changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how your personal data is being handled. Continued use of the platform after an updated Privacy Policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If a change significantly affects your rights or the way we use your data, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you directly through your registered contact details. If you have any questions about a specific change or clause in this policy, the FAQ page is the fastest place to find a clear answer. You may also reach out to our support team directly for personalised assistance.

Your Privacy at a Glance

The key points from our Privacy Policy — quick to read, easy to understand.

Only What's Needed

We collect only the personal information required to run your account, process PHP transactions, and comply with Philippine regulations. Nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. Your data is used to serve you — not to build advertising profiles or be sold to marketers. Every data point we hold has a clear, documented purpose tied directly to your account or a legal obligation.

Never Sold to Third Parties

apaldo does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any outside organisation for commercial gain. Data is shared only with service providers who directly support platform operations, and only under strict contractual data protection obligations. You will never receive unsolicited contact from third parties as a result of using apaldo. Your trust is the foundation of everything we do.

Encrypted and Secured

All data in transit between your device and our platform is protected by encryption. Sensitive account information is stored in restricted-access environments. We run regular security reviews to keep your data safe from unauthorised access or disclosure. Our security posture is reviewed and updated continuously to address emerging threats relevant to the Philippine digital landscape.

You're in Control

You can request access to your data, ask for corrections, or raise a concern at any time. In most cases you can also request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements. Your rights over your personal information are real and actionable. We are committed to responding to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe and without unnecessary barriers.

Kept Only as Long as Required

We do not hold onto your data indefinitely. Retention periods are tied to legal obligations and operational necessity. Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual. We conduct periodic data audits to ensure nothing is retained beyond its justified purpose or required retention window.

Policy Kept Up to Date

This Privacy Policy is reviewed and updated whenever our practices or applicable Philippine regulations change. The date at the top of the page always reflects the latest revision. We recommend checking back periodically, especially before making a deposit or updating your account details. Significant changes will be communicated directly to registered players wherever possible.
