Short version: Game GCash collects personal data to run a safe, legal, and enjoyable gaming platform for Filipino players. We do not sell your data. We protect it seriously. And we give you real control over it. Read on for the full details.
1. Introduction
Game GCash ("we," "our," or "us") is the operator of the online gaming platform accessible at gamegcash.net. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect the personal information of players and visitors who use the Game GCash platform, website, and associated services (collectively, the "Services").
This policy is written in plain English so it is easy to understand — because we believe you have the right to know exactly what happens with your data when you play on Game GCash. We are committed to operating in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and the rules and regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
By registering for a Game GCash account or using any part of our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have questions at any point, our Data Protection Officer (DPO) is reachable at privacy@gamegcash.net.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Game GCash uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work properly and to improve your experience. Here is what we use and why:
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — things like keeping you logged in during a session and remembering your language preference. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
- Performance cookies: Help us understand how players use Game GCash — which pages are most visited, how long sessions last, and where players drop off. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences like notification settings and deposit method so you do not have to set them again every visit.
- Security cookies: Detect and prevent fraudulent logins and bot activity.
You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. Game GCash does not use third-party advertising cookies or retargeting pixels.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your Game GCash account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter, in line with our legal obligations:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account plus a minimum of 5 years after closure, as required by Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
- Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years for compliance with AMLC (Anti-Money Laundering Council) requirements.
- Support communications: Retained for 2 years after the last interaction.
- Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion.
After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you.
8. Data Security
Protecting your data is not something we treat lightly at Game GCash. We have implemented the following technical and organisational measures:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers

- 24/7 automated fraud and intrusion detection systems
- Strict data processing agreements with all third-party partners
