g488 Privacy Policy

1 Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to all players who register, access, or use the g488 platform at g488.vu. It covers how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information in connection with your use of our online gaming services, including live casino, casino slots, fish games, sports betting, and eBingo.

By creating a g488 account, you confirm that you have read this policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described here. This policy should be read alongside the Terms & Conditions and the Responsible Gaming Policy.

g488 serves players in the Philippines. All personal data we hold is processed in connection with gaming activity conducted in Philippine Peso (PHP). If you are accessing g488 from outside the Philippines, you do so subject to the terms of this policy and applicable Philippine law.

2 Data We Collect

g488 collects personal data in three main ways: directly from you when you register or use the platform, automatically through your use of the website, and from third-party payment and verification providers.

We only collect data that is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or health information unless specifically required by law.

3 How We Use Your Data

g488 uses your personal data for the following purposes:

• Account creation and management — to register your account, verify your identity through KYC, and maintain your player profile.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals — to facilitate PHP transactions via GCash, Maya, InstaPay, and local bank transfer, and to confirm that payments reach the correct verified account holder.
• Platform security — to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, multi-accounting, and other prohibited conduct as defined in the Terms & Conditions.
• Responsible gaming compliance — to monitor gaming activity and flag patterns that may indicate problem gambling, in line with our Responsible Gaming Policy.
• Customer support — to respond to your enquiries, resolve disputes, and process account-related requests.
• Platform improvement — to analyse usage patterns and improve the gaming experience, game availability, and platform performance.
• Legal and regulatory compliance — to meet record-keeping, anti-money laundering (AML), and other obligations applicable to online gaming operations.
• Communications — to send you important account notices, security alerts, and, where you have opted in, information about promotions and platform updates.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

g488 processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contract performance — processing your data is necessary to provide you with the gaming services you have signed up for, including account management, payment processing, and game access.
• Legal obligation — certain data processing is required by law, including identity verification, AML record-keeping, and age verification (21+).
• Legitimate interests — g488 has a legitimate interest in preventing fraud, maintaining platform security, and improving the quality of the service for all players.
• Consent — for optional data uses such as marketing communications, we rely on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

5 Data Sharing

g488 does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors — GCash, Maya, InstaPay, and local banks receive only the transaction data required to complete your deposit or withdrawal in PHP. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by applicable data protection obligations.
• KYC and identity verification providers — third-party verification services may receive identity documents and biometric data solely for the purpose of confirming your identity during the KYC process.
• IT and security service providers — companies that provide infrastructure, hosting, fraud detection, and platform security tools may process limited technical data to deliver those services. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements.
• Law enforcement and regulatory authorities — g488 will disclose personal data to competent authorities where required to do so by a court order, lawful request, or applicable law.

6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

g488 uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the platform working correctly, maintain your session while you are logged in, and understand how players interact with the site.

• Essential cookies — required for the platform to function. These handle your login session, security tokens, and OTP verification flows. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
• Analytics cookies — used to measure page visits, game usage patterns, and platform performance. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual players.
• Security cookies — used to detect suspicious activity, verify device consistency, and protect against session hijacking.

g488 does not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using certain platform features.

7 Data Security

g488 applies industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and loss. These include:

• SSL/TLS encryption across all pages and data transmission pathways.
• OTP (one-time password) verification for login, withdrawals, and account changes.
• KYC identity verification before high-value withdrawals are processed.
• Access controls that limit staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
• Regular security reviews of platform infrastructure and third-party integrations.

While g488 takes all reasonable steps to secure your data, no online system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. If you suspect that your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact g488 support immediately via the details on the FAQ page.

8 Data Retention

g488 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period after account closure to meet legal, regulatory, and operational obligations. Specific retention guidelines include:

• Account and identity data — retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum period after closure as required by applicable AML and record-keeping obligations.
• Financial transaction records — PHP deposit and withdrawal records are retained in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements.
• Gaming activity data — wager history and session records are retained to support dispute resolution, responsible gaming monitoring, and compliance requirements.
• Support communications — support chat logs and email records are retained for a reasonable period to assist with future enquiries and dispute resolution.

When data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal obligation to retain it, g488 will securely delete or anonymise it.

9 Your Rights

As a player in the Philippines, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by g488:

• Right to access — you may request a copy of the personal data g488 holds about you.
• Right to correction — if any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct it.
• Right to deletion — you may request that g488 delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal obligation requiring us to retain it.
• Right to object — you may object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time.
• Right to data portability — where technically feasible and legally applicable, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to withdraw consent — where g488 relies on your consent to process data (such as for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact g488 support through the details on the FAQ page. We will respond to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

10 Children & Minors

g488 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21 years of age. If we discover that an account has been created by a player under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately, the registration data will be reviewed, and any balance will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on g488, please contact our support team immediately via the FAQ page so we can take prompt action.
