7bat retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain our PAGCOR licence, and to comply with applicable Philippine legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply:
When personal data is no longer required, 7bat implements secure data deletion or anonymisation procedures in accordance with the NPC's guidelines on data disposal.
7bat implements a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:
While 7bat applies rigorous technical and organisational security measures, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials and for immediately reporting any suspected unauthorised access to 7bat Customer Support.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, registered Players have the following rights in respect of their personal data held by 7bat. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 16.
The 7bat Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged twenty-one (21) years and above, as required by PAGCOR. 7bat does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Age verification is a mandatory step in the 7bat registration and KYC process. If 7bat becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual who does not meet the minimum age requirement, we will immediately suspend the relevant Account, delete the associated personal data to the extent permitted by law, and report the matter to PAGCOR as required under our licensing conditions.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal data to 7bat, please contact our Data Protection Officer immediately using the contact details in Section 16.
The 7bat Platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services, including game provider platforms, payment gateways, and customer support tools. When you interact with these third-party services, you are subject to their own privacy policies and data handling practices, which are separate from and independent of this Policy.
7bat is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party services accessed through or in connection with the Platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service with which you interact. We maintain data processing agreements with all third-party processors to ensure baseline data protection standards are met.
Where personal data is transferred to or processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines — for example, by game providers, cloud infrastructure operators, or technology vendors operating internationally — 7bat ensures that such transfers are carried out only where:
7bat maintains a register of all cross-border data transfers and associated safeguards, which is available to the NPC upon request as part of our accountability obligations under the DPA.
7bat reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, regulatory requirements, or business operations. When material changes are made, we will notify you through one or more of the following methods:
The updated Privacy Policy will indicate the revised effective date at the top of the document. Your continued use of the 7bat Platform following the effective date of any revision constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated Policy. The current version of this Policy is always accessible at 7bat.one/privacy-policy.
If you do not agree with any revised Privacy Policy, you must discontinue use of the Platform and may request Account closure in accordance with the Terms & Conditions.
For any questions, requests, or concerns relating to this Privacy Policy or 7bat's data processing practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer through the following channels:
7bat takes all data privacy complaints seriously and will investigate each matter promptly and in good faith in accordance with our obligations under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations.
A plain-language summary of the key ways 7bat safeguards your privacy and handles your information responsibly.
All data transmitted between your device and 7bat travels under 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by BPI and BDO online banking. Your credentials and financial data are never exposed in transit.
7bat processes all personal data in full compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), PAGCOR data handling requirements, and NPC regulations. Your data rights as a Filipino data subject are actively protected.
7bat does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their commercial use. Data sharing is limited strictly to service providers, payment processors, and regulators as described in this Policy.
Two-factor authentication via SMS to your Philippine mobile number is available to all 7bat players. Enabling 2FA adds a layer of login security that protects your account even if your password is compromised.
7bat only keeps your data for as long as legally required or operationally necessary. Retention periods are defined for every data category and applied consistently — with secure deletion when data is no longer needed.
As a PAGCOR-licensed platform, 7bat's data handling practices are subject to regulatory oversight. Players have access to PAGCOR's dispute resolution process if data handling concerns cannot be resolved directly.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, every Filipino data subject has enforceable rights. Here's what you can exercise as a 7bat player.
Request a copy of all personal data 7bat holds about you, including how it's been used and who it's been shared with. Fulfilled within 15 business days of a verified request.
Request correction of any inaccurate or outdated personal information in your 7bat profile. Basic details can be updated directly in Account Settings; formal corrections handled by the DPO team.
Ask for deletion of your data where it's no longer necessary, subject to PAGCOR and AMLA legal retention obligations. Data required by Philippine law cannot be deleted before the mandated retention period ends.
Object to specific uses of your data — particularly direct marketing. Opt out of marketing communications at any time through Account Settings or by contacting support. Opt-outs are processed immediately.
Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible, enabling you to transfer information to another service if you choose.
If 7bat's response to a data privacy concern is not satisfactory, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines — the independent regulator for data privacy rights.
7bat is PAGCOR-licensed, DPA-compliant, and built for Filipino players who expect their personal data to be handled with the same care as their GCash wallet. Register in 3 minutes and experience a platform that takes privacy seriously.
