1 About This Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how filbe ("filbe," "we," "us," or "our") collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal information of users ("you," "Player," or "Data Subject") who access or use the filbe online casino and sports betting platform (the "Platform"), including through the filbe website, mobile interface, live chat, and any associated services.
filbe operates in the Philippines and processes the personal data of Filipino players in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the guidelines of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. Where filbe processes data of players located in other jurisdictions, we apply equivalent data protection standards.
This Policy should be read alongside filbe's Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Platform as a whole . By registering an account or using the filbe Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.
Your Privacy Matters: filbe does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. Your data is used exclusively for the purposes of operating the Platform, fulfilling regulatory obligations, and improving your experience as a Filipino player on filbe.
2 Data Controller
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and applicable data protection regulations, filbe acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data of players registered on the Platform.
As PIC, filbe determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed. Third-party service providers engaged by filbe to support platform operations — such as payment processors, KYC verification providers, and game software suppliers — act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) and process your data solely on filbe's documented instructions.
filbe has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with this Policy and applicable data privacy laws. You may contact our DPO directly at [email protected] for any data privacy-related enquiries or requests.
