3. Purpose of Processing

okada1 processes your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes. We do not process personal data in a manner that is incompatible with the purposes stated below:

• Account Registration & Management: To create and maintain your okada1 player account, authenticate your identity at login, and manage your account settings and preferences.
• KYC & Age Verification: To verify that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years under Philippine law, and to confirm your identity in compliance with PAGCOR anti-money laundering directives.
• Transaction Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via GCash, PayMaya, BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and UnionBank, and to maintain accurate records of all financial transactions on your account.
• Regulatory Compliance: To fulfil our legal obligations under PAGCOR licensing conditions, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and any other applicable Philippine laws and regulations.
• Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, complaints, and feedback, and to provide assistance with account and technical issues.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, bonus abuse, and unauthorized access to accounts.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming behavior for signs of problem gambling and to implement responsible gaming tools including deposit limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks where requested or required.
• Platform Improvement: To analyze how players use the Platform and to improve our games, features, and user experience based on aggregated and anonymized usage data.
• Marketing Communications: To send you personalized promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates by email or SMS — but only where you have given your explicit consent or where we have a legitimate interest basis, and subject always to your right to opt out.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, okada1 must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. The legal bases we rely on are as follows:

• Consent: Where you have given okada1 your clear and informed consent to process your data for a specific purpose — for example, subscribing to promotional communications or enabling optional analytics cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
• Contractual Necessity: Where processing is necessary to fulfil the contract between you and okada1 — for example, processing a deposit, verifying your account, or resolving a dispute. Without this processing, okada1 could not provide the gaming services you have signed up for.
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is required to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation imposed on okada1 under Philippine law — for example, AMLA transaction reporting, PAGCOR regulatory submissions, or court orders.
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for okada1's legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms — for example, fraud detection, IT security, and internal business analytics.

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

okada1 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data protection agreements:

5.1 Payment Service Providers

GCash (Mynt), PayMaya (PayMongo/Voyager), BDO Unibank, BPI, Metrobank, and UnionBank receive the financial data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are subject to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) regulations.

5.2 KYC & Identity Verification Providers

okada1 engages accredited third-party identity verification services to conduct KYC checks. These providers process the identity documents and biometric data you submit solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and age. They are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

5.3 Game Software Providers

Third-party game developers whose games are available on the okada1 Platform may receive limited technical session data (such as player session tokens) to deliver their games. These providers do not receive personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for game delivery and fairness certification.

5.4 Regulatory Authorities

okada1 is legally required to share certain data with PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government agencies when required by law, court order, or regulatory directive.

5.5 IT Infrastructure & Security Providers

okada1 uses trusted cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and fraud detection service providers to operate and protect the Platform. These providers act as data processors under written agreements and are bound by strict data protection obligations.

6. Data Retention

okada1 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following general retention periods apply:

When personal data is no longer required, okada1 will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with the NPC's guidelines on data disposal. Anonymized and aggregated data that cannot identify you as an individual may be retained indefinitely for statistical and business analysis purposes.

7. Data Security

okada1 takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Key security measures include:

• 256-Bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or app and the okada1 servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols, the same standard used by major Philippine banks.
• Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in okada1 databases — including financial information and identity documents — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. okada1 employees and contractors who require access to personal data to perform their job functions are granted the minimum level of access necessary, and all access is logged and audited.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Internal systems containing personal data require multi-factor authentication for all staff access. Players are also encouraged to enable MFA on their okada1 accounts for additional protection.
• Regular Security Audits: okada1 conducts regular penetration testing and security audits of its Platform and data infrastructure, performed by independent cybersecurity firms.
• Data Breach Response: okada1 maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to affected data subjects, okada1 will notify the NPC within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay, in compliance with NPC Circular 16-03.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

okada1 uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on the Platform, keep you securely logged in, and understand how players use our services. This section explains what cookies we use and how you can manage them.

8.1 Types of Cookies We Use

8.2 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the Platform to function. For all other cookie categories, you can manage your preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies — please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Please note that disabling functional or analytics cookies may affect your experience on the okada1 Platform.

9. Your Data Subject Rights

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by okada1. These rights are not absolute and are subject to applicable legal limitations, but okada1 is committed to honoring them to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact the okada1 Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 13. We will respond to all verified data subject requests within 15 business days of receipt. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 15 business days, with notice provided to you.

10. Minors & Age Restriction

The okada1 Platform is strictly intended for persons aged 21 years and above, in compliance with Philippine gambling regulations. okada1 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the registration and KYC process, and accounts where age cannot be verified will be restricted from real-money gaming activity.

If okada1 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete the personal data to the extent permitted by applicable law, and return any deposits made to the payment method from which they originated, in accordance with PAGCOR directives.

Parents and guardians of minors are strongly encouraged to use internet filtering software and parental controls to prevent access to online gambling platforms. If you believe a minor may have registered on the okada1 Platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt action.

11. Cross-Border Data Transfers

okada1's primary data processing infrastructure is located within the Philippines or in jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of personal data protection. Where it is necessary to transfer your personal data to a recipient located outside the Philippines — for example, to a cloud infrastructure provider or game software vendor — okada1 will ensure that such transfers are carried out in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and applicable NPC guidelines.

Safeguards we apply to cross-border transfers include:

• Transferring only to countries or organizations that the NPC has determined to provide adequate protection for personal data.
• Entering into data processing agreements with overseas recipients that incorporate the standard contractual clauses required by the NPC where applicable.
• Applying additional technical safeguards such as pseudonymization and encryption to data transferred internationally.

You may request details of the specific cross-border transfers that involve your personal data by contacting the okada1 DPO as described in Section 13.

okada1 reserves the right to update, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in Philippine law, NPC issuances, PAGCOR requirements, our business practices, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will notify you by:

• Sending a notice to your registered email address at least 7 days before the amended Policy takes effect.
• Displaying a prominent notice on the okada1 Platform upon your next login.
