Privacy Policy – 703 Pub | How We Protect Your Personal Data

1. Introduction

703 Pub ("we," "us," "the platform") operates the online gaming website accessible at 703pub.best. As the personal information controller for data collected through our platform, we are committed to handling your personal data responsibly, securely, and in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and its implementing rules and regulations.

This Privacy Policy explains in plain language: what data 703 Pub collects from you, why we collect it, who we may share it with, how long we keep it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over your own data. We've written this document to be clear and readable — because we believe Filipino players deserve to understand exactly how their information is being handled, not wade through pages of confusing legal jargon.

This policy covers all personal data collected when you visit the 703 Pub website, register for an account, make deposits or withdrawals, use any game or service on the platform, contact our support team, or interact with our promotional communications. If you are accessing 703 Pub on behalf of another person, you confirm that you have that person's permission to provide their information to us.

2. Data We Collect

703 Pub collects personal data that is necessary and proportionate to the services we provide. We do not collect data that we do not need. Below is a breakdown of the categories of data we collect and the circumstances in which we collect them.

2.1 Registration Data

When you create a 703 Pub account, we collect the information you provide in the registration form, including:

• Full legal name
• Date of birth
• Email address
• Mobile phone number
• Residential address (city, province, country)
• Username and password (password is stored in hashed form and is never visible to 703 Pub staff)
• Nationality

2.2 Identity Verification Data

As required by anti-money laundering regulations and our internal Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, we may collect:

• Government-issued identification (e.g., Philippine passport, SSS ID, driver's license, PhilSys national ID, UMID)
• Proof of residential address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement)
• Selfie photographs for liveness verification
• Source of funds documentation for high-value transactions as required under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA)

2.3 Financial Transaction Data

When you make deposits or withdrawals, we record transaction details including the amount, date, time, payment method used (e.g., GCash, Maya, bank transfer), and the reference number provided by the payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers. GCash and Maya account numbers are stored only to the extent necessary to process your transaction and match it to your account.

2.4 Gaming Activity Data

We record your activity on the 703 Pub platform including: games played, bet amounts, win/loss outcomes, session durations, and game preferences. This data is used for account management, dispute resolution, responsible gaming monitoring, and improving the platform experience.

2.5 Technical and Device Data

When you access 703 Pub, our servers automatically collect technical information including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, time zone, and referring URL. This data helps us ensure the platform functions correctly on your device and supports fraud detection.

2.6 Communications Data

When you contact our support team via email, live chat, or any other channel, we retain records of those communications including your messages, our responses, and the date and time of the interaction. This allows us to provide consistent support and resolve disputes effectively.

3. How We Use Your Data

703 Pub uses the personal data we collect only for the purposes described below. We apply the principle of data minimization — meaning we only use data that is necessary for each stated purpose.

• Account creation and management: To register your account, verify your identity, manage your profile, and provide access to the platform and its features.
• Processing transactions: To process deposits, withdrawals, and bonus credits accurately and to maintain complete financial records of your account activity.
• Providing customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, investigate complaints, and communicate important account information to you.
• Compliance with legal obligations: To fulfill our obligations under Philippine law including the Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Data Privacy Act, and any applicable gaming regulations. This includes verifying your identity and monitoring transactions for suspicious activity.
• Platform security and fraud prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, identity theft, cheating, and other prohibited conduct on the platform.
• Responsible gaming monitoring: To identify patterns of behavior that may indicate problem gambling and to apply responsible gaming interventions where appropriate.
• Platform improvement: To analyze how players use 703 Pub in aggregate — which games are popular, where technical issues occur, which features players engage with most — and to use these insights to improve the platform.
• Marketing and promotions: To send you promotional communications about 703 Pub bonuses, new games, and special offers, where you have consented to receive these. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Personalization: To tailor your platform experience based on your game preferences and activity history — for example, recommending games similar to those you frequently play.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 703 Pub processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual necessity: Processing that is necessary to fulfill the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when registering your account — including account management, transaction processing, and support services.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine laws including the AMLA, gaming regulations, and tax obligations.
• Legitimate interests: Processing that is necessary for 703 Pub's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, and improving our services — provided those interests do not override your privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for purposes such as marketing communications and certain personalization features, where you have given your explicit consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

703 Pub does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with carefully selected third parties only in the circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for each purpose.

5.1 Payment Processors

When you make a deposit or withdrawal, we share the transaction details necessary to complete the payment with the relevant payment service provider (GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, banks, or card networks). These providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purpose of processing the transaction.

5.2 Identity Verification Providers

For KYC verification, we may use third-party identity verification services. These providers process your identification documents and selfie photographs to confirm your identity. They are bound by data processing agreements and may not use your data for any purpose other than verification.

5.3 Game Content Providers

Some games on 703 Pub are provided by third-party game studios (for example, JILI). These providers may receive technical session data (such as bet amounts and game results) necessary for game operation and dispute resolution. They do not receive your name, contact details, or payment information.

5.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

703 Pub will disclose personal data to government agencies, law enforcement bodies, or regulators when required to do so by applicable Philippine law — including in response to lawful requests from the National Privacy Commission, AMLC, or other competent authorities. We will only disclose the minimum data required to comply with such requests.

5.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of 703 Pub's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance of any such transfer and the privacy policy applicable to your data following the transfer.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

703 Pub uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize you when you return, maintain your session when you're logged in, and understand how you use the platform.

6.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that help detect fraud. You cannot opt out of these without ceasing to use the platform.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and game filters, so you don't have to reconfigure them every visit.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, where players encounter errors. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
• Marketing cookies: Used to deliver personalized promotional content within the 703 Pub platform. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies to follow you across the internet.

6.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies already stored on your device. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using key platform features including login. For functional and analytics cookies, you can update your preferences through the cookie settings on the 703 Pub platform.

7. Data Retention

703 Pub retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our standard retention periods are as follows:

• Account and registration data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus 5 years after account closure, in line with AMLA record-keeping requirements.
• Identity verification documents: Retained for 5 years from the date of verification, or from the date of account closure, whichever is later — as required by the AMLA.
• Transaction records: Retained for 5 years in accordance with Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
• Gaming activity logs: Retained for 2 years for dispute resolution and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.
• Customer support communications: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last communication.
• Technical and device data (logs): Retained for 90 days for security and fraud detection purposes.
• Marketing preferences and consent records: Retained until you withdraw consent plus 1 year, to document that consent was valid at the time of communication.

When the applicable retention period expires and there is no other legal basis for retaining your data, 703 Pub will securely delete or anonymize your personal data. If you request deletion of your data before the retention period expires, we will delete all data that we are not legally required to retain and inform you of any data that we must keep and why.

8. Data Security

Protecting your personal data is something 703 Pub takes seriously — not just because the law requires it, but because our players trust us with information that matters to them. We implement technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data we hold.

Our security measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and 703 Pub servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Encrypted data storage: Sensitive data including passwords (stored as salted hashes) and identity documents are encrypted at rest on our servers.
• Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted to 703 Pub employees and contractors who need it to perform their job functions. Access is governed by role-based permissions and is logged and monitored.
• Two-factor authentication: Available for player accounts and required for internal administrative access to player data systems.
• Regular security reviews: We conduct periodic reviews of our security practices and infrastructure to identify and address vulnerabilities.
• Incident response procedures: In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, 703 Pub will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by the Data Privacy Act.

10. Children's Privacy

703 Pub is an online gaming platform strictly intended for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18 years of age. Our registration process includes an age declaration and we conduct age verification checks as part of our KYC process.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to close the account, reverse any transactions, and delete all personal data associated with that account. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have registered with 703 Pub, please contact us immediately at support@703pub.best.

11. Third-Party Links

The 703 Pub platform does not contain links to third-party websites that are not part of the 703 Pub service. Our navigation, footer, and in-page links are restricted to pages within 703pub.best. We do not embed third-party advertising or social media widgets that collect data from your visit.

In the event that you access a third-party service in connection with your 703 Pub account — for example, opening the GCash app to complete a payment — the data practices of that third-party service are governed by their own privacy policy and are outside the scope of this document. 703 Pub is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party payment processors or service providers once you leave the 703 Pub platform.

• Notify registered players by email if the changes are significant enough to affect their rights or how we use their data
• Display a notice on the 703 Pub platform following the update

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of 703 Pub following the notification of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you may request account closure and we will process a withdrawal of your available balance.

Earlier versions of this Privacy Policy are available upon request from our support team.
