matbet Privacy Policy – How We Handle Your Personal Data
At matbet, the privacy and security of our players in the Philippines comes first. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you hold over your own data. Please read this page carefully before registering or using our platform.
Information We Collect
When you register and use the matbet platform, we collect several categories of personal information that are necessary to provide you with a safe, functional, and compliant gaming experience in the Philippines. The information we gather falls into five main areas, each serving a specific and lawful purpose under our data processing framework.
Account Information
When you register, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, contact number, and email address. This information is required to verify your identity, confirm your eligibility to play, and maintain your account in good standing. We may also request government-issued identification documents during the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, particularly before processing your first withdrawal in Philippine Peso. Providing accurate account information is a condition of using the matbet platform, and any false details submitted may result in account suspension.
Device & Browser Data
We automatically collect technical information about the device and browser you use to access matbet, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and general geographic location derived from your IP. This data helps us optimise the platform for mobile and desktop users across the Philippines, detect unusual login activity, and ensure that our services function correctly on your device. Device data is never used to personally identify you beyond the context of your matbet account, and it is retained only for as long as necessary for security and operational purposes.
Payment & Transaction Data
All financial transactions on matbet are conducted in Philippine Peso (PHP), and we record details of each deposit, withdrawal, and wager for accounting, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance purposes. Payment data we hold includes transaction amounts, timestamps, payment channel references (such as GCash or bank transfer identifiers), and transaction status. We do not store your full bank account numbers or e-wallet PINs; sensitive payment credentials are handled exclusively by our certified payment partners, who maintain their own data security standards. Transaction records are retained for the minimum period required by applicable Philippine financial regulations.
Usage & Gameplay Data
We collect information about how you interact with the matbet platform, including the games you play, session durations, betting patterns, pages visited, features accessed, and support interactions. This usage data is analysed in aggregate to improve our platform, personalise your experience where permitted, and monitor for responsible gaming concerns. Individual gameplay records may also be reviewed by our compliance team if there are grounds to investigate a potential breach of our Terms and Conditions. Usage data is processed strictly within the matbet platform environment and is not shared with third-party advertising networks.
How We Use Your Information
matbet collects and processes personal data only for clearly defined purposes that are necessary to deliver our services, meet our legal obligations, and maintain the security and integrity of the platform for all Filipino players. We do not use your data for purposes that are incompatible with those stated in this Privacy Policy, and we will always seek your consent before processing your data in a manner that goes beyond what is described here.
- Account management and authentication: We use your registration details to create and maintain your account, verify your identity at login, and communicate important account notifications such as password changes or unusual activity alerts.
- Transaction processing: Payment and transaction data is used to process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso, prevent fraudulent transactions, and maintain accurate financial records as required by applicable law.
- Platform optimisation: Device, browser, and usage data helps our technical team improve site performance, fix bugs, and ensure the platform remains stable and accessible on mobile devices commonly used in the Philippines.
- Customer support: When you contact our support team, we use your account and communication history to resolve your query efficiently and accurately.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: We process and retain certain data to comply with anti-money laundering requirements, age verification obligations, and other applicable Philippine regulations governing online gaming operations.
- Responsible gaming monitoring: We analyse gameplay patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and, where appropriate, intervene with responsible gaming support tools. You can learn more on our Responsible Gaming page.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit the matbet website. They allow the platform to recognise your browser on return visits, remember your preferences, and maintain your login session so you do not need to sign in every time you access the site. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files stored on your device. Most modern browsers allow you to control cookie settings, including blocking or deleting cookies, although doing so may affect the functionality of certain features on the matbet platform.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function, including session management, login authentication, and security token handling. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform features.
- Functional cookies: Remember your language preferences, display settings, and regional configuration relevant to Philippine users.
- Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users navigate the platform, helping us identify areas for improvement. No personally identifiable information is passed to analytics systems.
- Security cookies: Detect and prevent fraudulent login attempts, bot activity, and other abusive behaviour that could compromise your account.
Data Storage, Retention & Security
matbet takes the security of your personal data seriously and employs a range of technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your data is stored on secured servers using industry-standard encryption protocols, and access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to authorised personnel who require it for legitimate operational purposes.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a defined period thereafter, as required by applicable Philippine laws governing financial records, anti-money laundering compliance, and online gaming regulations. Specifically:
- Account registration data is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with regulatory requirements.
- Transaction records in Philippine Peso are retained for a minimum of five years as required under Philippine financial reporting obligations.
- Support communications are retained for a period of two years following the resolution of a query.
- Device and usage logs are retained for up to twelve months for security monitoring and fraud detection purposes.
When your data reaches the end of its required retention period, we securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. We also conduct periodic reviews of our data holdings to ensure that information is not retained beyond what is necessary or lawful.
Sharing Your Data with Third Parties
matbet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes. We may, however, share your data in a limited number of circumstances where it is strictly necessary to deliver our services, comply with legal requirements, or protect the platform's integrity. Each of these circumstances is described below.
Payment Processors
We share the minimum payment information required with our Philippine-based payment partners — such as GCash and local bank networks — to process your deposits and withdrawals in PHP. These partners are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purpose of completing your requested transaction.
Regulatory Authorities
We may disclose personal data to relevant Philippine government agencies, law enforcement bodies, or regulatory authorities where we are legally required to do so — for example, in connection with an investigation into money laundering, fraud, or underage gambling. We will only disclose the data specifically requested and will notify you where legally permitted to do so.
Technology Service Providers
We work with carefully vetted technology partners who assist us in operating the platform — including cloud hosting providers and customer support software. These providers are granted access only to the data they need to perform their specific function, and they are bound by contractual obligations that require them to maintain the same level of data protection as matbet.
Your Rights Over Your Personal Data
As a player on the matbet platform and a resident of the Philippines, you have a number of important rights with respect to the personal data we hold about you. matbet is committed to honouring these rights in a timely and transparent manner, and we encourage you to exercise them whenever you feel it is appropriate. To submit a data rights request, please contact our support team using the email address listed in the Contact section of this policy.
- Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information within a reasonable timeframe and in a clear, readable format. There is no charge for a standard access request.
- Right to Correction: If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct it. You can update basic contact information directly through your account settings, or contact support for changes to identity documents.
- Right to Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for us to retain it — for example, after your account has been closed and the applicable retention period has expired. Please note that certain data must be retained to comply with Philippine legal obligations and cannot be deleted on request alone.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to ask us to pause the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for instance, while you contest its accuracy or object to our use of it. During a restriction, we will retain your data but will not process it further except where legally required.
- Right to Object: Where we process your data on the basis of legitimate interest, you have the right to object to that processing. We will review your objection and cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds that override your interests.
Protection of Minors
matbet strictly prohibits the use of our platform by individuals under the age of 18, and we take active steps to detect and prevent underage access. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors, and if we discover that a player has provided false age information during registration, we will immediately suspend the account, void any associated activity, and securely delete the personal data associated with that account as quickly as our legal obligations allow. Parents and guardians in the Philippines who believe a minor may have registered on the matbet platform are encouraged to contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay. We also support the use of parental control and internet filtering tools as an additional safeguard in households with underage members.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, the services we offer, or applicable Philippine law. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date shown on this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players via their registered email address or through an in-platform notice on their next login. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically so that you are always aware of how your personal data is being handled. Your continued use of the matbet platform following the publication of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with any changes, your recourse is to discontinue using the platform and request account closure through our support team.
