faichai Privacy Policy
Your Privacy Matters
How faichai Handles Your Personal Data
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how faichai ("faichai", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online gaming platform at faichai.bet, collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of registered players and visitors ("you", "your") in the Republic of the Philippines.
faichai is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information in accordance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By registering an account or using the faichai platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and use of your data as described herein.
If you have questions about how your personal data is handled, you may contact our Data Privacy Officer at any time via our 24/7 live chat or by email at [email protected]. We take every privacy inquiry seriously and will respond within the timeframes required under applicable Philippine law.
Privacy at a Glance
faichai's Core Privacy Commitments
Six principles that define how faichai approaches the personal data of every Filipino player on the platform.
Data Minimization
faichai only collects the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with Philippine regulatory requirements. We do not collect data for data's sake — every field we ask for has a specific, documented purpose that is disclosed in this Policy.
Encryption & Secure Storage
All personal data held by faichai is stored on encrypted servers. Financial data — including payment method details linked to your faichai wallet — is handled using industry-standard encryption protocols. Your faichai login credentials are never stored in plaintext under any circumstances.
No Selling of Personal Data
faichai does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketing companies, data brokers, or any other commercial entities for their own marketing purposes. Your information is used solely to operate the faichai platform and meet our legal obligations as a Philippine-licensed gaming operator.
Player Control Over Data
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. faichai provides clear channels for exercising your data rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Requests are processed within the timeframes mandated by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
Philippine Data Residency
faichai prioritizes keeping player data within the Philippines wherever operationally feasible. Where data is processed or stored outside the Philippines — for example, by a certified game provider — faichai ensures that appropriate data protection agreements are in place consistent with the Data Privacy Act requirements.
Transparent Processing
Every category of personal data faichai collects, its purpose, its legal basis, and its retention period are documented in this Policy. There are no hidden data processing activities at faichai. If our data practices change in a material way, we will notify registered players before those changes take effect.
1.1 Categories of Personal Data. faichai collects personal data across the following categories depending on your interaction with the platform:
| Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, gender, government-issued ID number | Registration & KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Philippine mobile number, email address, residential address | Registration & account updates |
| Financial Data | GCash number, Maya account, bank account details (BPI, BDO, Metrobank), transaction history | Deposit & withdrawal processing |

| Responsible Gaming Data | Deposit limits set, self-exclusion requests, cooling-off periods, problem gambling indicators | When responsible gaming tools are used |
1.2 Sensitive Personal Information. Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, certain categories of information are classified as sensitive personal information and require a higher standard of protection. faichai may process sensitive personal information — such as government ID numbers for KYC purposes — only where strictly necessary to fulfill regulatory obligations. Such data is subject to additional access controls and encryption measures.
1.3 Voluntary Provision. Some personal data you provide to faichai is provided voluntarily, such as optional profile information. Where data provision is mandatory for a specific purpose (for example, providing a valid Philippine mobile number for account registration), this will be indicated at the point of collection. Failure to provide mandatory data may result in your inability to access certain features or complete account registration.
2.1 Directly from You. The majority of personal data faichai holds is collected directly from you through the following interactions:
- Completing the faichai account registration form
- Submitting KYC verification documents
- Making deposits or requesting withdrawals via GCash, Maya, bank transfer, or other supported payment channels
- Contacting faichai's 24/7 live chat support or sending an email inquiry
- Participating in promotions, surveys, or feedback requests
- Using responsible gaming tools such as self-exclusion or deposit limit settings
2.2 Automatically. When you access the faichai platform, certain technical and usage data is collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies. This includes your IP address, browser information, device identifiers, and a record of the pages and games you interact with. See Section 8 for full details on our cookies and tracking practices.
2.3 From Third Parties. faichai may receive personal data about you from trusted third parties in limited circumstances, including:
- Identity Verification Providers: Third-party KYC service providers may supply identity verification results in connection with your account verification process.
- Payment Processors: Payment confirmation data is received from GCash, Maya, InstaPay, PesoNet, and partner banks to verify deposit and withdrawal transactions.
- Fraud Prevention Services: faichai may receive risk signals from fraud detection partners to protect the platform from abuse.
- Game Providers: Certified game studios that power faichai's slot, live casino, and specialty games may share game session data with us for account crediting and dispute resolution purposes.
3.1 Purposes of Processing. faichai uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
- Account Management: To create, maintain, verify, and secure your faichai player account, including identity verification and KYC compliance.
- Transaction Processing: To process PHP deposits and withdrawals via your preferred payment method, including GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other supported channels.
- Platform Delivery: To provide access to sports betting, live casino, slots, bingo, sabong, and other gaming products available on faichai.
- Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries, resolve disputes, investigate complaints, and provide technical assistance.
- Regulatory Compliance: To meet our obligations under Philippine law, including anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, PAGCOR-related regulatory reporting, and the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Fraud and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, cheating, money laundering, unauthorized account access, and other prohibited conduct on the faichai platform.
- Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming patterns for indicators of problem gambling, enforce player-set limits and self-exclusion requests, and administer the faichai responsible gaming program.
- Marketing Communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates where you have provided consent or where we have a legitimate interest in keeping you informed. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings.
- Platform Improvement: To analyze usage data and player feedback in order to improve the faichai platform, fix bugs, optimize game performance, and develop new features.
4.1 Criteria for Lawful Processing. Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, faichai processes your personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and faichai — specifically, the Terms and Conditions you agreed to upon registration. This covers account creation, transaction processing, and platform delivery.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable Philippine law, including AML obligations, regulatory reporting, and data retention mandates.
- Legitimate Interests: faichai processes certain data on the basis of its legitimate interests — for example, using usage data to improve platform performance, and processing technical data to detect and prevent fraud — provided these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
- Consent: Where faichai relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing — for example, for direct marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
5.1 Limited Disclosure. faichai does not sell your personal data. We may share your data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
- Service Providers: Carefully selected third-party vendors who assist faichai in operating the platform — including payment processors (GCash, Maya, partner banks), identity verification providers, customer support software providers, and cloud infrastructure providers. All service providers are bound by data processing agreements that require them to protect your data to at least the standard required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Game Providers: Licensed game studios whose titles are offered on the faichai platform may receive session data necessary to deliver game content, calculate outcomes, and resolve disputes. These providers are certified by independent testing agencies and operate under strict data confidentiality obligations.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: faichai may disclose personal data to the National Privacy Commission, PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or other Philippine government authorities where required by law, court order, or legitimate regulatory request.
- Fraud Prevention and Security: In cases of suspected fraud, identity theft, or other illegal activity, faichai may share relevant data with law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and fraud prevention organizations to protect the integrity of the platform and the interests of legitimate players.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of faichai's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy commitments applicable to your data following the transaction.
5.2 Cross-Border Transfers. Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines — for example, to a game provider's servers located abroad — faichai ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual clauses that provide a level of protection equivalent to that required under Philippine law. faichai will not transfer your data to jurisdictions that do not provide adequate data protection standards without implementing additional safeguards.
6.1 Retention Periods. faichai retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. The following general retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration & KYC data | 5 years after account closure | AML compliance, regulatory obligation |
| Financial transaction records | 5 years from transaction date | AML Act, BIR record-keeping requirements |
| Game session logs | 2 years from session date | Dispute resolution, platform integrity |
| Customer support communications | 2 years from last contact | Dispute resolution, service improvement |
| Responsible gaming records | Duration of exclusion + 5 years | Exclusion enforcement, regulatory compliance |
| Marketing preferences | Until opt-out or account closure | Consent management |
6.2 Deletion. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized such that it can no longer be linked to any identifiable individual. Where deletion is not immediately practicable — for example, data stored in backup systems — the data will be isolated from further processing and deleted at the next scheduled purge cycle.
7.1 Technical Safeguards. faichai implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the faichai platform
- Encryption at rest for stored personal and financial data
- Multi-factor authentication options for player accounts
- Role-based access controls limiting internal access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of platform infrastructure
- 24/7 monitoring for unauthorized access attempts and anomalous activity
- Segregation of player funds data from operational systems
7.2 Organizational Safeguards. faichai staff who have access to personal data are required to undergo data privacy training and are bound by confidentiality obligations. Access to personal data is logged and audited. faichai maintains a documented data breach response plan in accordance with the requirements of the National Privacy Commission.
7.3 Data Breach Notification. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a real risk of serious harm to affected individuals, faichai will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay, in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules.
7.4 Your Responsibilities. While faichai takes extensive measures to protect your data, the security of your account also depends on the confidentiality of your login credentials. You are responsible for maintaining a strong, unique password for your faichai account and for notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
