btpk Privacy Policy
At btpk, your personal data is treated with the same care we bring to every part of our platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you hold as a Filipino player under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
What You Should Know
Your Privacy at a Glance
Before you read the full policy, here are the six most important things btpk wants every Filipino player to understand about how we handle personal data.
btpk complies fully with Republic Act No. 10173, the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, and its implementing rules and regulations. Your personal data is processed only for lawful, specified, and legitimate purposes. We never process your data in a way that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected.
btpk does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers — full stop. Any data sharing with third parties is strictly limited to what is necessary to deliver our services to you: payment processing, KYC verification, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. Nothing more.
btpk collects only the personal information that is genuinely necessary to verify your identity, process your transactions, and maintain a safe gaming environment. We do not collect data out of curiosity or for speculative future use. If a piece of information is not needed to serve you, we do not ask for it.
As a Filipino player, you have legally protected rights over your personal data: the right to be informed, to access your data, to correct inaccuracies, to object to processing, to erasure in certain circumstances, and to data portability. btpk makes exercising these rights straightforward — simply contact our support team at any time.
All personal data held by btpk is stored on secured servers with industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit. Access to personal data within the btpk organisation is strictly role-based — only personnel who genuinely need access to perform their duties are permitted to view player data, and all such access is logged and audited.
btpk uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and analyse platform usage so we can continuously improve the btpk experience. We do not use third-party advertising trackers or cross-site behavioural profiling cookies. You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by btpk through the btpk.ws website and platform. It should be read alongside the btpk Terms and Conditions. By registering a btpk account or otherwise using the btpk platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.
01Introduction
btpk is a Philippines-focused online gaming platform serving Filipino players across the archipelago — from Metro Manila and Cebu City to Davao, Iloilo, and beyond. We understand that when you share your personal information with us, you are placing trust in btpk to handle that data responsibly, securely, and transparently. We do not take that trust lightly.
This Privacy Policy describes the personal data that btpk collects from players and website visitors, the purposes for which that data is processed, the parties with whom it may be shared, the security measures we maintain to protect it, and the rights you hold over your own personal information under Philippine law. We have written this policy in plain, accessible language so that every Filipino player can understand how their data is handled — not just lawyers.
btpk is committed to full compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. Where international data protection standards impose stricter obligations relevant to our operations, btpk voluntarily adopts those higher standards.
02Data Controller
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, btpk acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data collected through the btpk platform. As a PIC, btpk determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed and bears primary responsibility for ensuring that such processing is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to the processing of your personal data by btpk, you may contact us at any time through the channels listed in Section 13 of this Privacy Policy. btpk has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing data protection compliance across the organisation. All data-related enquiries directed to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy" will be routed to the DPO's attention.
03Data We Collect
btpk collects personal data through several channels: the btpk registration form, the btpk Login page, the account dashboard, payment and withdrawal requests, KYC document submissions, live chat and email interactions, and through automated technical means such as cookies and server logs. The categories of personal data we collect are described in the table below.

btpk does not collect sensitive personal information as defined under Section 3(l) of the DPA (such as race, ethnic origin, marital status, health data, or religious beliefs) unless specifically required by law or regulation and you have provided explicit consent. Biometric data collected as part of selfie-based KYC verification is processed solely for identity verification purposes and is not retained beyond the verification process.
04How We Use Your Data
btpk processes your personal data for the following specific purposes. We do not process your data for any purpose that is not listed here without first obtaining your consent or establishing a new lawful basis as required by the DPA.
- Account Registration and Management — to create and maintain your btpk account, verify your identity and age (21+), and provide you with access to the btpk platform and all its features via the btpk Login page.
- Payment Processing — to process your deposits and withdrawal requests via GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, 7-Eleven Cliqq, Coins.ph, and USDT TRC20, and to maintain accurate financial records of all transactions in Philippine Peso.

- Responsible Gaming — to monitor gaming patterns for indicators of problem gambling, to implement and enforce responsible gaming tools (deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion) you have activated, and to comply with responsible gaming obligations applicable under the Philippine regulatory framework.
- Platform Improvement — to analyse aggregate usage data in order to improve the btpk platform experience, optimise game performance, and identify technical issues. This analysis uses aggregated or anonymised data wherever possible.

You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your btpk account settings or by contacting support.

05Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, btpk processes your personal data on the following lawful bases, depending on the specific processing activity:
- Contractual Necessity — processing that is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and btpk (i.e., the btpk Terms and Conditions), including account creation, payment processing, and game delivery.
- Legal Obligation — processing that is required for btpk to comply with a legal obligation, including KYC verification, AML/CTF reporting, and cooperation with Philippine regulatory authorities.

You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
06Data Sharing

- Payment Service Providers — your financial data is shared with GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and other payment partners solely to process your deposit and withdrawal transactions. Each payment partner operates under its own privacy policy and is independently responsible for data processed within its own systems.
- KYC and Identity Verification Partners — your identity documents and verification data are shared with btpk's accredited KYC service provider for the purpose of automated or manually assisted identity and age verification.
- Game Software Providers — limited technical data (session tokens, game state data) is shared with third-party game studios and aggregators whose certified titles are available in the btpk game lobby. These providers do not receive your identity or financial data.
- Regulatory Authorities — btpk is required by law to report certain information to PAGCOR, the AMLC, the NPC, and other competent Philippine authorities. Such disclosures are made only as required or permitted by applicable law.
- Professional Advisors — in limited circumstances, personal data may be disclosed to btpk's legal advisors, auditors, or compliance consultants subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
All third parties with whom btpk shares personal data are contractually required to process that data only for the specified purpose, to maintain appropriate security standards, and to comply with applicable data protection law. btpk does not transfer personal data to recipients outside the Philippines unless appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with the DPA and NPC guidelines on cross-border data transfers.

- Two-Factor Authentication — all btpk staff with access to personal data systems are required to use multi-factor authentication. Players are also strongly encouraged to enable 2FA on their btpk accounts.
- Penetration Testing — btpk's platform and data systems are subject to regular third-party security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Incident Response — btpk maintains a documented personal data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach that is likely to pose a real risk to affected data subjects, btpk will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players in accordance with the timeframes required under the DPA and NPC Circular No. 16-03.
While btpk takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your btpk account credentials confidential. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact btpk support immediately via live chat or email.
10Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data processed by btpk. btpk is committed to honouring these rights promptly and without undue burden to you as a Filipino player.
- Right to be Informed — you have the right to be informed of how your personal data is collected and processed. This Privacy Policy fulfils that obligation, and btpk will notify you of any material changes to it.
- Right to Access — you have the right to request a copy of the personal data btpk holds about you, along with information about how it is being processed. Requests will be fulfilled within 15 business days of receipt.
- Right to Rectification — if any personal data btpk holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. You may update basic account information directly via your btpk account settings, or contact support for assistance with KYC-linked data.
- Right to Erasure — in certain circumstances, you have the right to request that btpk delete your personal data. This right is subject to legal and regulatory retention obligations — for example, btpk is required by AML law to retain certain records for a minimum of five years after account closure regardless of an erasure request.
- Right to Object — you have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing based on legitimate interests and processing for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, btpk will cease that processing immediately.
- Right to Data Portability — you have the right to receive a copy of personal data you have provided to btpk in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to request that it be transmitted to another personal information controller where technically feasible.
- Right to Lodge a Complaint — if you believe btpk has violated your data privacy rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. The NPC's contact details and complaint procedures are available at the NPC's official website. btpk encourages you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to resolve your concern directly.
To exercise any of the above rights, contact btpk's Data Protection Officer by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Rights Request". Please include your full name, registered email address, and a description of the right you wish to exercise. btpk will verify your identity before processing any data subject rights request to ensure your data is not disclosed to an unauthorised party.
11Children and Minors
The btpk platform is strictly restricted to adults who are 21 years of age or older, in accordance with the minimum age requirement applicable to casino-style online gambling in the Philippines. btpk does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Age verification is a mandatory step during the btpk registration process, and all accounts are subject to KYC age verification using government-issued Philippine identification documents. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended, all winnings will be voided, and any deposited funds will be returned to the registered payment method after applicable verification and AML checks.
If btpk becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 through misrepresentation or circumvention of our age verification controls, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems and close the relevant account. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has created a btpk account should contact us immediately at [email protected].
12Updates to This Privacy Policy
btpk reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in applicable Philippine law or NPC guidance, or improvements to our platform. The date of the most recent update is always displayed prominently at the top of this page.
Where a proposed change to this Privacy Policy is material — meaning it significantly affects how we collect or use your personal data, or affects your rights as a data subject — btpk will notify you by email to your registered address and/or by a notice displayed prominently within the btpk platform at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the btpk platform after the effective date of a policy update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Privacy Policy.
We recommend that all btpk players review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how btpk protects your personal data. If you disagree with any material change to this Privacy Policy, you have the right to close your btpk account before the change takes effect by contacting our support team.
