Data Protection & Privacy
i8club Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Personal Data
i8club is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every registered player in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173 — the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 — and PAGCOR's applicable regulatory requirements. This Policy explains in full what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it.
Six Ways i8club Protects Your Data
Before diving into the full legal text, here is a plain-language summary of how i8club approaches data privacy for Filipino players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines.
Every byte of data transmitted between your browser or mobile device and i8club's servers is protected by AES-256 SSL encryption — the same standard used by Philippine banks. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are never transmitted in plain text under any circumstances.
i8club does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your information is shared only with licensed service providers that assist us in operating the platform — payment processors, KYC verification partners — and with PAGCOR and law enforcement as required by Philippine law.
i8club processes all personal data in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the National Privacy Commission's issuances. Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees all data processing activities and compliance obligations on an ongoing basis.
Under RA 10173, you have the right to access your data, correct inaccuracies, object to certain processing, and request deletion where legally permissible. i8club provides a straightforward process to exercise all of these rights, detailed in Section 10 of this Policy and reachable through your Account settings or our support team.
i8club retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and applicable Philippine law. When data is no longer needed and retention is not legally required, it is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with our data retention schedule.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to affected players, i8club will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will communicate directly with affected players as required by RA 10173 and NPC Circular No. 16-03.
Data Controller
The data controller responsible for the personal data processed in connection with the i8club platform is the operator of i8club.cam, a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming operator. References to "i8club", "we", "us", or "our" throughout this Privacy Policy refer to this entity in its capacity as data controller.
i8club has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in accordance with Section 21 of RA 10173. The DPO is responsible for overseeing all data protection activities, monitoring compliance with this Policy, and serving as the primary point of contact for data subjects and the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 15 of this Policy.

Minors & Age Restriction
The i8club Platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are at least 21 years of age in accordance with PAGCOR's minimum age requirements for online casino-style gaming in the Philippines. i8club does not knowingly collect or process personal data from persons under the age of 21.
