pcso1 Privacy Policy
pcso1 is committed to protecting the personal information of every Filipino player on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and stored, and the rights you hold over your own information under Philippine data privacy law.
Our Privacy Commitments at a Glance
Six core principles that guide how pcso1 handles your personal data — full legal text follows below.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
Every pcso1 session and data transmission is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption — the same protocol used by BPI, BDO, and Metrobank for online banking. Your personal details and financial information are never transmitted in plain text.
Data Collected Only as Needed
pcso1 collects only the minimum personal information required to operate your account, verify your identity, process payments, and comply with PAGCOR and anti-money laundering obligations. We do not collect data for the sake of it.
No Sale of Personal Data
pcso1 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your information is used exclusively for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and nowhere else.
Trusted Third-Party Partners Only
Where pcso1 engages third-party service providers — such as payment processors (GCash, PayMaya), identity verification partners, and game studios — those partners are contractually bound to handle your data only for the specific purpose for which it was shared, and never for their own commercial use.
Your Rights Are Respected
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (R.A. 10173), you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. pcso1 honours these rights fully and maintains a dedicated process for data subject requests.
Clear Data Retention Periods
pcso1 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
