jiibay Privacy Policy
At jiibay, we take the privacy and security of your personal information seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it — all in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and PAGCOR's data handling guidelines for licensed online gaming operators.
How jiibay Keeps Your Information Safe
256-Bit SSL Encryption
Every connection to jiibay is secured with industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. Whether you're logging in from Manila or Cebu, your credentials, payment details, and personal data are fully encrypted in transit — the same level of protection used by major Philippine banks.
Strict Data Minimization
jiibay only collects personal data that is necessary for account operation, identity verification, payment processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data for its own sake. If we don't need it to serve you as a jiibay player, we don't ask for it.
Philippine DPA Compliance
jiibay's data practices are fully aligned with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and its implementing rules. We are registered with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and take all obligations under Philippine data protection law seriously.
No Data Selling
jiibay does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers — ever. Your data is used exclusively to operate your account, process your transactions, and meet jiibay's regulatory obligations under PAGCOR licensing and Philippine law.
Your Controls & Rights
As a jiibay account holder and data subject under Philippine law, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. You can update most of your account information directly from your jiibay dashboard, or contact our support team for assistance with data requests.
Breach Notification
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, jiibay will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. Transparency in data incidents is a non-negotiable commitment for jiibay.

- Fraud prevention and security: Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activity, unauthorized account access, bonus abuse, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct on the platform.
- Responsible gaming: Monitoring gaming activity to identify signs of problem gambling behavior, enforcing self-exclusion requests, and providing responsible gaming interventions where appropriate.

Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, every processing activity must have a lawful basis. jiibay relies on the following lawful bases for processing your personal data:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to perform the contract between you and jiibay — specifically, operating your account, enabling gameplay, processing payments, and delivering all features of the jiibay platform as described in the Terms & Conditions.
- Legal obligation: Processing required for jiibay to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations, including PAGCOR licensing requirements, AMLA compliance, tax reporting, and NPC data protection obligations.
- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and platform improvement, where jiibay's legitimate interests in operating a safe and compliant platform are not overridden by your rights and interests.
- Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional data uses where you have given clear, informed, and freely withdrawable consent. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time via your jiibay account settings or by contacting support.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
jiibay does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers, data brokers, or any party for commercial purposes. Your data is shared only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the specified purpose:
- PAGCOR and Philippine regulatory authorities: jiibay is required to provide player data, transaction records, and gaming activity reports to PAGCOR as the licensing authority, and to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) where legally mandated. These disclosures are made under legal obligation and are not subject to your consent.

These providers process data under their own privacy policies as independent controllers for the payment leg of the transaction.

- Fraud prevention services: jiibay may share device fingerprint data, IP addresses, and account activity indicators with fraud prevention and security service providers to detect and prevent prohibited conduct on the platform.
- Professional advisors: jiibay may share data with legal counsel, auditors, and compliance consultants under strict confidentiality obligations where necessary to obtain professional advice.
- Law enforcement: jiibay may disclose personal data to Philippine law enforcement agencies (including the NBI or PNP) where required by a valid court order, warrant, or other legally binding demand from a competent Philippine authority.

- Data encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data — including identity documents, government ID numbers, and financial account references — is encrypted in jiibay's databases using AES-256 encryption.
- Access controls: Access to personal data within jiibay's systems is granted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff access is role-based, logged, and subject to regular review. Administrative access requires multi-factor authentication.

Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data that jiibay holds about you. These rights may be subject to certain limitations where jiibay has overriding legal obligations — for example, where data must be retained for AMLA or PAGCOR compliance purposes.
Request a copy of the personal data jiibay holds about you, including what categories of data we process and for what purposes.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data that jiibay holds about you. You can update most details directly from your jiibay account dashboard.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to jiibay's legal retention obligations under PAGCOR and AMLA rules.
Object to the processing of your personal data where jiibay relies on legitimate interests as the lawful basis, including the right to opt out of marketing communications at any time.
Request that jiibay restricts the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data you have contested is being verified.
Request a structured, machine-readable copy of the personal data you have provided to jiibay, where technically feasible, so you can transfer it to another service provider.
Request human review of any significant decision made about you by jiibay's automated systems, such as account suspension or bonus restriction determinations based on algorithmic risk scoring.
Lodge a complaint with the Philippine National Privacy Commission (NPC) if you believe that jiibay has processed your personal data in violation of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Children's Privacy & Age Restrictions
jiibay's platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older, in compliance with PAGCOR's age verification requirements for online gaming operators in the Philippines. This age restriction is higher than the general 18+ threshold applicable in many other jurisdictions and reflects the specific requirements of Philippine gaming law.
jiibay's registration process includes age verification steps designed to confirm that all players meet the 21+ requirement before gaining access to real-money gaming. This includes verification of government-issued identification documents during the KYC process.
If jiibay becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from an individual under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete the collected data, and take such other steps as may be required under Philippine law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child may have registered a jiibay account, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Changes to This Privacy Policy
jiibay reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, updates to applicable Philippine law, changes in PAGCOR regulatory requirements, or improvements to our platform and services. The most current version of this Policy will always be available on the jiibay website at jiibay.net/privacy-policy.
Where changes to this Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or how we process your personal data — jiibay will notify registered players by email to the address associated with their account, and/or by displaying a prominent notice on the jiibay platform, at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
For minor or administrative changes that do not materially affect your rights (such as corrections of typographical errors or clarifications of existing practices), jiibay may update the Policy without advance notice, updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
Contact & Data Protection Officer
jiibay has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act, managing data subject rights requests, and serving as the primary point of contact for data protection matters relating to the jiibay platform.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or jiibay's handling of your personal data, please contact the jiibay DPO using the details below:
- Email: [email protected] — use subject line "DPO / Privacy Inquiry"
