  • Account creation and management: Setting up your GZone PH account, verifying your identity, and maintaining your player profile.
  • Transaction processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, bank transfers, and card payments in Philippine Peso (₱).
  • Regulatory compliance: Meeting our Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and responsible gambling obligations under Philippine law.
  • Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and addressing any issues with your account or bets.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing usage patterns and player feedback to enhance the GZone PH experience, improve odds accuracy, and optimise game performance.

We will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), GZone PH processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our obligations under the GZone PH Terms and Conditions — such as managing your account and processing transactions.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine laws and regulations, including AML obligations, KYC requirements, and gaming regulatory mandates.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improvement of our services — where these interests do not override your rights.

5 Data Sharing and Disclosure

GZone PH does not sell your personal data. We may share your data only with trusted third parties in the following limited circumstances:

  • Regulatory and law enforcement bodies: Philippine government agencies, courts, or regulators when required by law or a valid legal process.
  • Fraud prevention networks: Industry fraud prevention databases used to protect the platform and other players from malicious activity.

All third parties that receive your data are contractually required to process it only for the specified purpose and to implement appropriate security measures. GZone PH remains responsible for ensuring that any third-party processing complies with RA 10173.

We never share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties. Your information stays within the GZone PH ecosystem and its strictly vetted service partners.

7 Data Retention

GZone PH retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after closure as required by Philippine law. Specifically:

  • Account and transaction data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure to comply with AML and financial record-keeping obligations.
  • KYC documents: Retained for the period required by our gaming licence and applicable Philippine regulations.
  • Technical and usage data: Generally retained for up to 24 months before being anonymised or deleted.
  • Support communications: Retained for up to three (3) years to allow us to reference prior interactions when assisting with disputes or account history.
  • Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your consent and for a reasonable period thereafter to evidence compliance.

Once the applicable retention period has passed and there is no legal requirement to retain your data further, GZone PH will securely delete or anonymise your personal information.

9 Data Security Measures

GZone PH takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases, including financial information and identity documents.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) available for player accounts and mandatory for all internal staff with data access.
  • Regular independent security audits and penetration testing of the GZone PH platform.
  • Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel can access personal data, and only to the extent necessary for their role.
  • Firewall protection, intrusion detection systems, and 24/7 security monitoring of our infrastructure.
  • Regular staff training on data privacy and information security practices.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect that your GZone PH account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately at support@gzoneph.click.

10 Children's Privacy

GZone PH is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Our registration process includes age verification steps, and we carry out additional KYC checks to confirm that all players meet the legal age requirement under Philippine gaming regulations.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 21, we will immediately close the relevant account, forfeit any associated winnings, and delete all personal data linked to that account. Parents or guardians who believe their child may have registered on GZone PH should contact us immediately at support@gzoneph.click.

11 International Data Transfers

GZone PH primarily processes and stores your data on servers located in or serving the Philippines. In limited circumstances — such as when working with international technology partners for platform infrastructure or security services — your data may be transferred to or accessible from servers outside the Philippines.

When such transfers occur, GZone PH ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including contractual clauses that require the receiving party to comply with data protection standards equivalent to those required under RA 10173. We do not transfer personal data to countries with inadequate data protection frameworks without implementing additional protective measures.

12 Updates to This Privacy Policy

GZone PH may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or platform features. When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes — those that significantly affect your rights or how your data is used — we will notify registered players via email and/or through a prominent notice on the platform before the changes take effect. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed.

Continued use of GZone PH after any updates to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised terms. If you do not agree with an updated policy, you may request account closure by contacting our support team.
