Table of Contents
Your Data, Your Rights: sige88 complies fully with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines (DPA), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. We are committed to processing your personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. This policy is written in plain English so every Filipino player can understand exactly how their data is handled.
1 Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how sige88 ("sige88," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you," "your," or "data subject") who access or use the sige88 website, mobile platform, games, and all related services (collectively, the "Platform").
This Policy applies to all registered members, prospective players, and any individual who interacts with the sige88 Platform from within the Republic of the Philippines or from any other jurisdiction where access to the Platform is permitted. It covers personal data collected through the Platform, through our customer support channels, and through any other means by which you interact with sige88.
This Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. By registering an account or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.
sige88 acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data it collects and processes, as defined under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Where sige88 engages third-party service providers to process data on its behalf, those providers act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) and are bound by data processing agreements consistent with the requirements of the DPA.
