ug77 Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ug77 ("ug77," "we," "us," "the Company") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player, visitor, and user of the ug77 online gaming platform accessible at ug77.one ("Platform"). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes in detail what personal information ug77 collects, why we collect it, how we use and store it, who we share it with, and what rights you have as a data subject under Philippine law.

This Policy applies to all personal data processed by ug77 in connection with your use of the Platform, including through the ug77 website, any associated mobile-optimized interfaces, and our customer support channels. It is to be read in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy.

By registering an account on ug77 or otherwise using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.

2. Data Controller

For purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173, "DPA"), ug77 is the Personal Information Controller in respect of personal data collected from players and users of the Platform. ug77 is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal information.

ug77 operates under the regulatory oversight of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). As a PAGCOR-regulated operator, ug77 is subject to PAGCOR's data handling requirements in addition to obligations under the DPA and National Privacy Commission (NPC) issuances.

4. How We Collect Your Data

ug77 collects personal data through the following channels:

• Account Registration: When you create an ug77 account, you directly provide identity, contact, and account data through the registration form.
• Identity Verification (KYC): When you submit documents for Know Your Customer verification — typically required before your first withdrawal — ug77 collects copies of government-issued IDs and, where applicable, proof of payment method ownership.
• Deposits and Withdrawals: Payment processing generates financial transaction records. Where GCash or Maya is used, the mobile number linked to those wallets is captured as part of the transaction record.
• Gameplay: Every game session, wager, win, and loss is automatically logged in ug77's gaming system as required by PAGCOR for audit and compliance purposes.
• Platform Usage: Technical data including IP address, device information, and session timestamps is automatically recorded when you access the Platform.
• Customer Support: When you contact ug77 support via live chat or email, the content of those communications is stored for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

ug77 processes your personal data on the following legal bases under the Philippine Data Privacy Act:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is required to perform the contract between ug77 and you as a registered player — i.e., to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals, and deliver gaming services.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

ug77 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data processing agreements:

8. Data Retention

ug77 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following minimum retention periods required by law and regulation:

• KYC and identity documents: Minimum 5 years from the date of account closure, as required by PAGCOR and AMLA regulations.
• Transaction records: Minimum 5 years from the date of each transaction.
• Gaming activity logs: Minimum 3 years from the date of each session, or longer if subject to an ongoing regulatory audit or investigation.

Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to implement internet filtering and parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms.
