pub008 does not process your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above. Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

pub008 uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to operate and improve the Platform. The following categories of cookies are used:

9.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session management cookies that keep you logged into your pub008 account, security cookies that help detect fraudulent activity, and load-balancing cookies that ensure stable Platform performance.

9.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings on the Platform, such as your preferred language, game lobby filters, and responsible gaming settings. Disabling these cookies may affect your Platform experience.

9.3 Analytics Cookies

pub008 uses analytics tools to understand how players navigate the Platform, which games and features are most popular, and where players encounter issues. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You may opt out of analytics cookies through your account settings.

9.4 Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences through your pub008 account settings or through your browser's built-in cookie management tools. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using core Platform features, including pub008 login and the cashier.

10. Your Data Subject Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by pub008:

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact pub008's Data Protection Officer through the support channels described in Section 15. pub008 will respond to all data subject rights requests within the timeframe required by Philippine law. Please note that some rights may be subject to limitations where retention of your data is required by law or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

11. Minors and Age Verification

The pub008 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above in accordance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations. pub008 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21, and we implement mandatory age verification during the account registration and KYC process to enforce this restriction.

If pub008 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, it will immediately close the relevant account, void all associated balances, and delete or anonymize the personal data of the underage individual to the extent permitted by law. Any suspected underage gambling activity may be reported to the relevant Philippine regulatory authorities.

If you are a parent or guardian and have reason to believe that a minor in your care has registered a pub008 account, please contact pub008 support immediately so that the account can be identified and closed.

12. Marketing Communications

With your consent, pub008 may send you marketing communications about promotions, new games, bonuses, and other pub008 offers via email and SMS. You will be asked to provide your marketing consent during the registration process. Providing consent to marketing communications is voluntary and is not a condition of using the Platform.

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by:

• Clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any pub008 marketing email;
• Updating your communication preferences in your pub008 account settings; or
• Contacting pub008 support and requesting removal from all marketing lists.

Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, pub008 will continue to send you service-related communications that are necessary for the operation of your account, such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, KYC requests, and account status notifications. These are not marketing communications and cannot be disabled while your account remains active.

13. Cross-Border Data Transfers

pub008 primarily processes personal data within the Philippines. Where it is necessary to transfer your personal data to third-party service providers or systems located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or international payment processing networks — pub008 ensures that such transfers are made only to countries or organizations that provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, or subject to appropriate contractual safeguards such as standard data protection clauses approved by the NPC.

pub008 will not transfer your personal data to a foreign jurisdiction for the purpose of circumventing Philippine data protection law. Any cross-border transfer of your data is governed by the same protective standards that apply to processing within the Philippines.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

pub008 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, new regulatory requirements, or improvements to our Platform. When material changes are made, pub008 will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification prior to the changes taking effect. The updated Policy will display the revised "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the pub008 Platform following the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If you do not agree to any revision of this Policy, you must cease use of the Platform and may request account closure as described in the Terms and Conditions.
