Last updated: June 2025 · Applies to all registered members and site visitors
1. What Information Does bongo plus Collect?
When you create an account or use any service on bongo plus, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to verify your identity, process your transactions, and deliver a seamless gaming experience tailored to Filipino players. The categories of data we collect include the following:
- Account Information: Your full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a username and password you create at registration. This information is required to open and maintain your bongo plus account in accordance with regulatory requirements applicable in the Philippines.
- Identity Verification Documents: Government-issued identification such as a Philippine National ID, passport, or driver's license may be requested to verify your age and identity before we process withdrawals or when required by our compliance procedures.
- Payment and Financial Information: Details related to your deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso (PHP / ₱), including the payment method used (such as GCash, Maya, or online banking), transaction amounts, and timestamps. We do not store complete payment card numbers on our servers.
- Device and Browser Data: Technical information automatically collected when you access our platform, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, screen resolution, and referring URLs. This data helps us optimise platform performance and detect suspicious activity.
- Usage and Behavioural Data: Information about how you interact with bongo plus, such as the games you play, session duration, betting patterns, pages visited, and features accessed. This data is used in aggregate to improve platform design and personalise your experience.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Data collected through cookies, local storage, and similar technologies as described in Section 3 of this policy.
We only collect data that is genuinely necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. You are not required to provide more information than what is needed to register and use our services, and we will always be transparent about why specific information is being requested.
2. Why Do We Process Your Personal Data?
bongo plus processes personal data for specific, legitimate purposes that are directly connected to the operation of our online gaming platform and our obligations to Filipino players and regulatory bodies. We do not process your data for any purpose beyond what is described below, and we will always seek your consent where required by applicable law.
- Account Management: To create, maintain, and administer your bongo plus account, including processing login requests, updating your profile, and communicating with you about account-related matters.
- Transaction Processing: To handle deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso, confirm payment authorisation, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, and maintain accurate financial records as required by Philippine regulations.
- Identity Verification and Compliance: To fulfil our Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations, verify player age and identity, and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible gaming requirements applicable in the Philippines.
- Platform Improvement and Personalisation: To analyse usage patterns, optimise game performance, tailor promotional offers to your interests, and improve the overall quality of the bongo plus experience for all Filipino players.
- Customer Support: To respond to your queries, investigate complaints, and resolve disputes in a timely and fair manner through our support channels.
- Marketing Communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates where you have given your consent to receive such communications. You may opt out of marketing messages at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: To monitor platform activity for signs of cheating, multi-accounting, bot usage, or other prohibited behaviours that could harm the integrity of bongo plus or the safety of our players.
Our legal basis for processing your data is primarily the performance of our contract with you (i.e., providing the gaming services you have signed up for), compliance with legal obligations, and where relevant, your consent. You have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
4. How Is Your Data Stored and Kept Secure?
bongo plus takes the security of your personal data seriously and employs a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. All data transmitted between your device and the bongo plus platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols, which means that sensitive information such as your login credentials and payment details cannot be intercepted in transit.
Your personal data is stored on secure servers protected by firewalls, access controls, and regular security audits. Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to personnel who need it to perform their job functions — such as our compliance, customer support, and technical operations teams — and all such personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations. We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and apply security patches promptly to minimise the risk of data breaches.
We retain your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations. For example, financial transaction records may be retained for a minimum of five years in accordance with anti-money laundering regulations. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law without undue delay.
5. Do We Share Your Data With Third Parties?
bongo plus does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. However, we do share certain data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform, processing payments, and fulfilling our legal obligations. All third-party partners are carefully vetted and are contractually required to handle your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
Categories of third parties with whom we may share your data include:
- Payment Processors: Licensed Philippine payment service providers — such as GCash, Maya, and partnered banking institutions — receive the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and regulatory frameworks.
- Game Software Providers: Third-party game developers whose titles are hosted on the bongo plus platform may receive anonymised session and gameplay data for the purpose of technical support, fairness auditing, and game performance monitoring.
- Identity Verification Services: Where KYC checks are required, we may share your identification documents with accredited verification service providers operating under strict data security standards and contractual obligations.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We may disclose your data to government bodies, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory authorities in the Philippines when required to do so by law, court order, or in connection with an investigation into suspected criminal activity, fraud, or breach of our terms.
- Platform Analytics Providers: Anonymised or aggregated usage data may be shared with analytics providers to help us understand platform performance. No personally identifiable information is shared in this context.
We do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the Philippines unless adequate data protection safeguards are in place, and we will always inform you of any such transfer where required by law. If you have questions about specific third parties we work with, please contact our support team directly.
6. What Rights Do You Have Over Your Personal Data?
As a player at bongo plus, you have meaningful rights over your personal data. We are committed to honouring these rights in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection legislation, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). The following rights are available to all registered members:
Right to Access
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time. We will provide this information within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days of your verified request.
Right to Correction
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. You can update basic profile details directly from your account dashboard.
Right to Deletion
You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on our legitimate interests where you believe your rights and freedoms override those interests.
Right to Portability
Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service provider of your choosing.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent — such as marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team via the contact information provided in Section 9 of this policy. We will verify your identity before processing any data request to protect against unauthorised access. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
7. Protection of Minors and Underage Users
The bongo plus platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years and above. We do not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data belonging to individuals under the age of 18. During the registration process, all users are required to declare that they meet the minimum age requirement, and we reserve the right to request valid age verification documents at any time to confirm compliance.
If we become aware — through our verification processes or any other means — that an account has been created by or on behalf of a minor, we will immediately suspend that account, delete the associated personal data as required by law, and where necessary, report the incident to the relevant Philippine regulatory or child protection authorities. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to educate young people about online safety and to make use of parental control tools to restrict access to gambling-related websites on shared or household devices.
bongo plus also supports responsible gaming initiatives aimed at protecting vulnerable players. If you are concerned that a minor may have accessed or registered on our platform, please contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take the necessary action without delay. Protecting young people from the potential harms of gambling is a responsibility we take with the utmost seriousness.
8. How Will You Know When This Policy Changes?
bongo plus reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, updates to applicable Philippine law, or changes to the services we offer. When material changes are made to this policy, we will notify registered users via email or through a prominent notice on the platform prior to the changes taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always indicate when the most recent revision was published.
We encourage all users to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect their personal data. Your continued use of the bongo plus platform following the publication of an updated policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should discontinue use of the platform and may request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting our support team. We will always endeavour to provide clear and plain-language explanations of what has changed and why, so that our Filipino players can make informed decisions about their data and their continued participation on the platform.
