betsos Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to betsos. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect from Philippine players, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
How betsos Protects Your Data
Before diving into the full legal text, here are the six core privacy commitments that every betsos account holder in the Philippines should know.
Minimal Data Collection
betsos only collects personal data that is strictly necessary for account creation, identity verification, transaction processing, and platform security. We do not harvest data beyond what is required to deliver a safe, compliant gaming experience for Filipino players.
Encrypted & Secure Storage
All personal data held by betsos is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard TLS and AES-256 encryption protocols. betsos maintains strict access controls so that only authorised personnel can access your personal information, and only when operationally necessary.
No Data Selling
betsos does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Your betsos account data is used solely to operate and improve the betsos platform and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations under Philippine law.
Your Rights Under RA 10173
As a Philippine data subject, you have the right to access, correct, erase, and object to the processing of your personal data held by betsos, in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012. betsos has appointed a dedicated Data Protection Officer to handle all privacy-related requests promptly.

Defined Retention Periods
betsos retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations. When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data retention schedule.
