a45a.com Casino collects the following categories of personal data, limited to what is necessary for the purposes described in Section 4:

We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under RA 10173 (such as health data, political opinions, or religious beliefs) unless specifically required for responsible gaming compliance purposes, in which case explicit consent will be obtained.

3. How We Collect Your Data

a45a.com Casino collects personal data through the following channels:

• Direct submission: Information you provide when registering an account, completing KYC verification, making deposits or withdrawals, submitting support requests, or responding to promotions.
• Automated collection: Technical and usage data collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies when you access a45acom.club. See Section 9 for full details on cookies.
• Third-party sources: Identity verification results from KYC service providers; payment confirmation data from GCash, Maya, and banking partners; fraud screening data from compliance service providers; and PAGCOR-mandated data exchanges where applicable.
• Game providers: Game session data transmitted from certified game providers (e.g., Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, WM Gaming) to the Platform for wallet settlement and audit purposes.

4. Purposes of Processing

a45a.com Casino processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:

• Account creation and management: Registering and maintaining your account, verifying your identity, and providing access to Platform services.
• KYC and age verification: Confirming that all players are aged 21 and above as required by PAGCOR, and verifying the source of funds where required by AML regulations.
• Payment processing: Executing deposits and withdrawals via GCash, Maya, bank transfers, and other approved Philippine payment channels.
• Regulatory compliance: Meeting obligations under PAGCOR licensing conditions, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160 as amended), and the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173).
• Responsible gaming: Monitoring gaming patterns to identify potential problem gambling behavior; administering deposit limits, self-exclusion, and cool-off requests; and complying with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework.
• Fraud prevention and security: Detecting and preventing unauthorized access, fraudulent transactions, multi-accounting, and other prohibited conduct as defined in the Terms & Conditions.
• Customer support: Responding to inquiries, resolving disputes, and processing complaints.
• Service improvement: Analyzing aggregated and anonymized usage data to improve Platform performance, game selection, and user experience.
• Marketing communications: Sending promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates — only where you have provided consent and have not opted out. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time via account settings.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Processing of your personal data by a45a.com Casino is grounded in the following legal bases under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to perform our obligations under the Terms & Conditions — including account management, payment processing, and game delivery.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with PAGCOR licensing conditions, AMLA reporting obligations, tax requirements, and other applicable Philippine law.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and service improvement, where these interests are balanced against your privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional preference features, where you have given freely given, specific, and informed consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

a45a.com Casino does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their independent marketing or commercial purposes. Personal data is shared only in the following circumstances:

• Payment processors: GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other payment providers receive transaction data strictly necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
• KYC and identity verification providers: Third-party identity verification services receive the data necessary to confirm your identity and age.
• Game providers: Certified game providers receive session and wallet data necessary to operate games and settle results.
• Regulatory authorities: PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine regulatory bodies may receive data pursuant to legal requirements, including mandatory suspicious transaction reports under AMLA.
• Law enforcement: Where required by valid legal process, court order, or law enforcement request under applicable Philippine law.
• IT and infrastructure providers: Cloud hosting and cybersecurity service providers operating under data processing agreements that restrict data use to service delivery purposes only.
• Professional advisors: Legal, audit, and compliance professionals subject to professional confidentiality obligations.

All third-party service providers acting as data processors on behalf of a45a.com Casino are bound by contractual obligations consistent with RA 10173 requirements for data processors.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers — including game certification bodies, cloud infrastructure providers, and KYC vendors — may process data outside the Philippines. Where such transfers occur, a45a.com Casino ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual clauses that afford protections equivalent to those required under RA 10173 and the National Privacy Commission's rules on cross-border data transfers.

You may contact our DPO (Section 14) to obtain information about the safeguards applicable to any specific international transfer of your personal data.

8. Data Retention Periods

a45a.com Casino retains personal data for the periods set out below, after which data is securely deleted or anonymized unless a longer retention period is required by law:

• Account data (active accounts): Retained for the duration of the account plus 5 years following permanent closure, in compliance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction and gaming records: Minimum 5 years from the date of the transaction, as required under AMLA and PAGCOR regulations.
• KYC documents: Minimum 5 years from account closure or last transaction, whichever is later.
• Support communications: 2 years from resolution of the relevant inquiry or complaint.
• Marketing consent records: Until withdrawal of consent plus 1 year for audit purposes.
• Technical and server logs: 90 days under normal circumstances; extended where required for security investigations.

Where retention beyond these periods is required by a specific legal obligation, the data will be retained only for that purpose and access will be restricted accordingly.

9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

a45a.com Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on a45acom.club for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for Platform operation — session management, authentication, load balancing, and security. These cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences — language settings, responsible gaming configurations, and display preferences — to improve your experience across sessions.
• Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymized data on how Players navigate the Platform to help us identify areas for improvement. No individual profiling occurs through analytics cookies.
• Security cookies: Assist in fraud detection, bot identification, and unauthorized access prevention.

a45a.com Casino does not use third-party advertising or behavioural tracking cookies. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in or accessing account features.

10. Security Measures

a45a.com Casino implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including:

• 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Encrypted storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms; plaintext passwords are never stored.
• Tokenization of payment method credentials — actual GCash numbers, card numbers, and bank account details are not stored on Platform servers.
• Multi-factor authentication options for account access.
• Role-based access controls restricting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity specialists.
• Incident response procedures compliant with the NPC's 72-hour breach notification requirement under RA 10173.

While we implement robust security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own login credentials. Report any suspected unauthorized access to your account to our support team immediately.

• Right to object: The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including the right to opt out of direct marketing communications at any time.
