It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from or to our platform.

ayudabet is the data controller responsible for the personal data collected and processed under this Privacy Policy. The Company operates under a regulatory framework established by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and is bound by its licensing conditions, which include specific obligations with respect to data protection and player privacy. For all data privacy matters, ayudabet's designated Data Protection Officer may be contacted at [email protected].

7. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

ayudabet does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal data to third parties for commercial marketing purposes. Personal data may be shared with third parties only in the following circumstances:

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ayudabet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the ayudabet.org platform to maintain session integrity, remember your preferences, detect fraud, and analyse aggregate usage patterns. Essential cookies — those necessary for the platform to function correctly — are placed automatically. Non-essential cookies used for analytics and personalisation are placed only with your consent, which you may manage through your browser settings.

ayudabet does not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with advertising networks. Usage data derived from cookies is used exclusively for internal platform purposes as described in this Policy.

9. Data Security Measures

ayudabet implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These measures include 256-bit SSL encryption for all data in transit, access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis, regular security audits and penetration testing, and mandatory security training for all staff who handle personal data.

In the event of a personal data security breach that is reasonably likely to result in harm to you, ayudabet will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected data subjects within the timeframes prescribed by the PDPA and its Implementing Rules — specifically, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach where feasible.

10. Data Retention

ayudabet retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law. Specifically: account and identity data is retained for the duration of your account and for a period of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR licensing and AML record-keeping requirements; transaction data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction; technical and usage data is retained for a shorter period of up to twelve (12) months unless required for longer by an ongoing investigation or legal proceeding.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by ayudabet:

• Right to be informed: You have the right to be informed of how your data is collected, processed, and used — which this Privacy Policy provides.
• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data ayudabet holds about you at any time by contacting [email protected].
• Right to rectification: If your personal data held by ayudabet is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and where no legal obligation requires its retention.
• Right to data portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider where technically feasible.
• Right to object: You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. ayudabet will cease such processing unless compelling legitimate grounds override your interests.

To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact ayudabet's Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We will respond to all data subject requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt, in compliance with NPC guidelines.

12. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Where personal data is transferred to third-party service providers or technology partners located outside the Philippines, ayudabet ensures that such transfers are made only to recipients who provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, either through applicable data protection legislation in their jurisdiction or through contractual safeguards equivalent to those required under the Philippine PDPA. ayudabet does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions with demonstrably inadequate data protection frameworks without appropriate safeguards in place.

13. Children and Minors

ayudabet is strictly a 21+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals below the age of twenty-one (21) years. Age is verified at the point of account registration, and accounts found to belong to underage individuals will be closed immediately, with any deposited funds returned to the source payment method following identity verification. If you have reason to believe that a minor has registered an account with ayudabet, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
