yy8 Privacy Policy

1Overview and Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the yy8 platform, including the website at yy8.live and any related services offered under the yy8 brand. It covers how yy8 handles the personal information of registered players, visitors, and anyone who interacts with the platform.

By registering an account or using any part of yy8 — whether you're playing live baccarat, placing a sports bet, spinning slots, or simply browsing — you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

yy8 is committed to handling your personal data responsibly. We collect only what is necessary, use it for clear and legitimate purposes, and apply appropriate security measures to protect it at every stage.

2What Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you use yy8, we may collect the following categories of personal data:

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data unless specifically required for identity verification and with your explicit consent.

3How We Collect Your Data

yy8 collects personal data through several channels, including:

• Direct registration: When you sign up for a yy8 account, you provide your name, contact details, and date of birth.
• Account activity: Data is generated each time you log in, deposit funds, place a bet, or withdraw winnings.
• Identity verification: When completing KYC, you submit government ID and may provide additional supporting documents.
• Payment processing: Transaction data is collected when you use GCash, Maya, Philippine online banking, or other supported PHP payment channels.
• Automated means: Cookies, log files, and similar technologies collect technical data about your device and usage patterns as you browse and play.
• Customer support: When you contact yy8 support, the content of those communications may be recorded and stored.

4How We Use Your Data

yy8 uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your account, including verifying your identity and age before allowing full access to the platform.
• To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through your chosen payment channel.
• To provide and improve the gaming and betting experience across live casino, slots, sports betting, and other available categories.
• To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, account abuse, and other prohibited activities.
• To comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including record-keeping requirements.
• To communicate with you about your account, transactions, security alerts, and platform updates.
• To support responsible gaming — including monitoring gameplay patterns for signs of problem gambling and enforcing account limits or self-exclusion requests.
• To improve platform performance and resolve technical issues based on aggregated usage analytics.

5When We Share Your Data

yy8 does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share it with the following categories of recipients where necessary to operate the platform:

• Payment processors: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals through local Philippine payment channels. These processors handle transaction data under their own privacy and security standards.
• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC services that assist with verifying identity documents and age as part of the account registration and verification process.
• Game software providers: Technical data necessary for delivering and maintaining casino games, live dealer tables, and sports betting services.
• IT and security services: Providers that support platform infrastructure, cybersecurity monitoring, and fraud detection systems.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: Where required by law, court order, or other mandatory legal process.

All third parties with whom we share your data are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection standards. We do not permit third parties to use your data for their own independent marketing or business purposes.

6Cookies and Tracking

yy8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate core platform functions and understand how users interact with the site. These include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — including session authentication, account login state, and security tokens. The platform cannot operate without these.
• Performance cookies: Used to collect anonymous data about page load times, error rates, and feature usage. This helps us identify and fix performance issues.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages and features are most used, so we can continue improving the experience for players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the Philippines.
• Preference cookies: Store your settings and preferences so the platform remembers your choices between sessions.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the platform function. Essential session cookies cannot be disabled without impacting your ability to log in and use your account.

7How We Protect Your Data

yy8 takes data security seriously. We apply a combination of technical and operational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss:

• SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption is applied across the entire platform to protect data transmitted between your device and yy8's servers.
• Passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing — they are never stored in plain text.
• OTP (One-Time Password) authentication is used for login and sensitive account actions to add a second layer of verification.
• Access to player data within yy8 is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Staff do not have blanket access to personal account information.
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments are conducted to identify and address risks in the platform's infrastructure.

8How Long We Keep Your Data

yy8 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

• Account and identity data is retained for the duration of your active account and for a defined period after account closure, as required by record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records, including deposit and withdrawal histories, are kept for a minimum period in line with financial and anti-money-laundering requirements.
• KYC and identity verification documents are retained as long as legally required after the associated account is closed.
• Technical and log data is typically retained for a shorter period unless retained for security investigation purposes.

When personal data is no longer required, yy8 takes steps to securely delete or anonymise it in a way that prevents it from being linked back to you.

9Your Rights and Choices

As a user of yy8, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right to access: You may request a copy of the personal data yy8 holds about you.
• Right to correction: If your data is inaccurate or outdated, you can request that we update it. You can also update basic account details directly in your account settings.
• Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data. Note that some data may be retained where yy8 has a legal obligation to do so.
• Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that we limit how we use your data while a concern or request is being resolved.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where data processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time — though this will not affect processing already carried out.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the yy8 support team. Requests will be reviewed and responded to in a reasonable timeframe. Identity verification may be required before fulfilling certain requests to protect your account from unauthorised third-party requests.

10Children and Minors

yy8 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21 years of age. Age verification is part of the account registration process, and additional KYC checks may be conducted to confirm eligibility.

If yy8 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, the associated account will be suspended and any data collected will be handled in accordance with applicable law, which may include deletion.

11Changes to This Policy

yy8 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, platform features, or applicable law. When we make material changes, the updated Policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. For significant changes, we may also notify registered players through their contact details on file. Continued use of the platform after an update is published constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
