garogem Privacy Policy – Your Data, Explained Clearly

1Introduction

garogem takes your privacy seriously. This Policy explains how we handle the personal information you share with us when you register, play, deposit, or otherwise use the garogem platform. It also explains your rights regarding that information and how you can exercise them.

garogem operates as an online gaming platform serving players in the Philippines. All data processing practices described here are designed to comply with applicable Philippine data protection requirements, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

2Data We Collect

The personal data garogem collects depends on how you interact with the platform. Here is a breakdown:

We do not collect sensitive personal data beyond what is required for identity and age verification. We do not collect data about your religious beliefs, political opinions, or health beyond what you voluntarily share in a support context.

3How We Use Your Data

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

• Account creation and management — setting up your account, verifying your identity and age, maintaining your account details.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals — facilitating transactions in Philippine Peso through local payment channels.
• KYC compliance — verifying that you are who you say you are and that you meet the 21+ age requirement.
• Anti-money laundering (AML) obligations — monitoring transactions for suspicious activity as required by applicable law.
• Fraud prevention and platform security — detecting and preventing unauthorised access, cheating, or other prohibited conduct.
• Customer support — responding to your queries and resolving account issues.
• Platform improvement — understanding how players use garogem to improve features and performance.
• Responsible gaming — monitoring usage patterns to support player welfare, in line with our Responsible Gaming commitments.
• Legal compliance — meeting our obligations under Philippine law and responding to lawful requests from authorities.

4Legal Basis for Processing

garogem processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contract performance — most processing is necessary to provide the gaming platform services you have signed up for.
• Legal obligation — KYC, AML monitoring, and identity verification are required by Philippine law.
• Legitimate interests — fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform improvement, where these do not override your rights.
• Consent — where we process data for purposes beyond those above, we will ask for your explicit consent.

5Sharing Your Data

garogem does not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it with the following categories of parties, only to the extent necessary:

• Payment service providers — Philippine banks, Instapay/PESONet operators, and local e-wallet platforms involved in processing your deposits and withdrawals.
• KYC and identity verification providers — third-party services used to verify government-issued IDs and confirm player identity.
• Technology and hosting providers — companies that provide the infrastructure, servers, and software that power the garogem platform.
• Fraud prevention and security services — tools used to detect and prevent account abuse and financial crime.
• Legal and regulatory authorities — where garogem is required by law to disclose information, including in response to lawful court orders or government investigations.

6Data Retention

garogem retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after closure to meet our legal, compliance, and dispute resolution obligations. KYC and financial records may be retained for longer periods as required by applicable Philippine anti-money laundering and data protection laws.

When data is no longer needed and retention periods have expired, we delete or anonymise it in a secure manner.

7Security Measures

garogem uses a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our platform.
• OTP (one-time password) authentication for account access and sensitive actions.
• Biometric login support through the garogem mobile app where your device supports it.
• Access controls that limit which internal staff can access your personal data, based on their specific role.
• Regular security reviews and monitoring for unusual account activity.

While we take these measures seriously, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect your account has been accessed without your permission, contact garogem support immediately at [email protected].

garogem is strictly for players aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21. If we discover that an account has been created by a person under 21, we will close the account and delete associated personal data, except where retention is required by law.
