Privacy Policy

01 Introduction

U888 VIP ("we," "us," "our," or "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses our services. We understand that Filipino players — whether you're based in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, or anywhere else in the Philippines — trust us with sensitive personal information, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and protection of personal data. It also outlines the rights available to you under Philippine law and explains how you can exercise those rights.

This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, which together govern your relationship with U888 VIP. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and our Terms & Conditions, the Terms & Conditions shall prevail on matters of contract, while this Policy shall govern all matters relating to personal data.

02 Data Controller

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, U888 VIP acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data you provide when using our platform. This means we determine the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.

As a PAGCOR-regulated operator, U888 VIP is also subject to data processing obligations imposed by Philippine gaming regulations, anti-money laundering laws, and other applicable legislation. In certain circumstances, regulatory bodies such as PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) may act as independent controllers of data we are legally required to share with them.

• Appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual clauses that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those under Philippine law; or
• The transfer is necessary for the performance of our contract with you or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You may request information about the specific safeguards in place for any cross-border transfer of your personal data by contacting our Data Protection Officer.
