4. How 718 Pub Uses Your Personal Data
718 Pub uses your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes only. We do not use your data for purposes beyond what is described in this policy without obtaining your additional consent.
4.1 Account Operations
Your identity and contact data are used to create and manage your 718 Pub account, process your deposits and withdrawals, send transaction confirmations and account alerts, and provide customer support. These uses are essential to the operation of your account and the delivery of gaming services — without this processing, your account cannot function.
4.2 Legal and Regulatory Compliance
718 Pub processes personal data as required to comply with our legal obligations, including KYC identity verification before processing withdrawals, anti-money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting requirements. Financial transaction records are retained for the periods required by applicable Philippine law.
4.3 Security and Fraud Prevention
Technical data including IP addresses, device identifiers, and session logs are used to detect and prevent fraud, unauthorised account access, multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and money laundering. This processing protects the security of the 718 Pub platform and the funds of all Filipino players on the platform.
4.4 Responsible Gaming
Gaming activity data is used to power the responsible gaming tools available in your account settings, including deposit limit tracking, loss limit monitoring, session time alerts, and self-exclusion management. This data helps 718 Pub identify players who may be exhibiting signs of problem gambling so that appropriate responsible gaming interventions can be made.
4.5 Platform Improvement
Aggregated and anonymised technical and gaming activity data is used to analyse platform usage patterns, identify performance issues, and improve the quality and relevance of the game selection for Filipino players. This analysis does not identify you personally.
4.6 Communications
With your consent, 718 Pub may send you promotional communications about new games, bonuses, and special offers via email or SMS. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by updating your communication preferences in account settings or by contacting support. Transactional communications (deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, security alerts) are always sent regardless of marketing preferences as they are essential to your account.

- Legal Obligation: AML screening, KYC verification, and financial record retention are required by Philippine law and regulatory requirements applicable to online gaming operators.

6.5 Professional Advisors
718 Pub's legal, accounting, and audit advisors may have access to limited personal data as necessary to provide their professional services. These parties are bound by professional confidentiality obligations.

When retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you. Data that is retained beyond minimum periods for legitimate business reasons (e.g., pending litigation) is reviewed annually and deleted when no longer required.
8. Data Security
718 Pub takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement the following technical and organisational security measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure:
- TLS/SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and 718 Pub is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). Look for the padlock icon in your browser address bar when using the platform.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive personal data stored on 718 Pub servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis. All internal access is logged and audited regularly.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): 718 Pub offers 2FA for player accounts and requires it for all internal staff accessing data management systems.
- Regular Security Reviews: Our platform and infrastructure undergo regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses before they can be exploited.
- Incident Response: 718 Pub maintains a documented data breach incident response plan. In the event of a breach affecting your data, we will notify you within 72 hours of discovery and report to the National Privacy Commission within the NPC-mandated timeframe.
While 718 Pub implements robust security measures, no online system is 100% immune to risk. You can help protect your account by using a strong, unique password, enabling 2FA, and never sharing your login credentials with anyone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.
