Pirots complies with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. For data privacy concerns, email us at privacy@pirots.best.

1 Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Pirots platform, accessible at pirots.best. Pirots ("we", "us", "our") is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when you register, play, deposit, withdraw, or interact with us in any way.

We understand that privacy is a big deal — especially when real money is involved. That's why we've designed our data practices to be as transparent and as protective of your information as possible. This policy tells you precisely what we collect, why we collect it, and who else might see it. No fine print, no hidden surprises. That's the Pirots promise to every kabayan who plays with us.

By creating a Pirots account and using our services, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any part of it, please do not use the platform.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy.

3 How We Collect Your Data

Pirots collects your personal data through the following means:

3.1 Direct Collection

You provide data directly to us when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal request, contact our support team, participate in promotions or surveys, or update your account profile.

3.2 Automated Collection

When you use the Pirots platform, our systems automatically collect technical and usage data. This includes your IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on the platform, and betting activity. This happens whether you're on a desktop browser or a mobile device.

3.3 Third-Party Sources

In some cases, we may receive data about you from third parties, including:

  • Payment processors (e.g., GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI) to verify transaction authenticity
  • Identity verification service providers for KYC processing
  • Fraud detection and anti-money laundering screening services
  • Analytics platforms (data is aggregated and anonymised where possible)

4 How Pirots Uses Your Personal Data

We use the personal data we collect only for legitimate, clearly defined purposes. Here's a full list of how your data is used on the Pirots platform:

  • Account creation and management: Setting up and maintaining your Pirots account, verifying your identity, and keeping your profile accurate.
  • Processing transactions: Handling your deposits and withdrawals through your chosen payment method (GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI, etc.).
  • KYC and regulatory compliance: Fulfilling our legal obligations under Philippine anti-money laundering laws and gaming regulations, including AMLC reporting requirements.
  • Fraud prevention and security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, money laundering, and other illegal conduct.
  • Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and improving our support quality by reviewing interaction records.
  • Platform personalisation: Customising your experience on Pirots based on your game preferences, betting history, and usage patterns.
  • Promotions and communications: Sending you bonus offers, platform updates, and service notifications — only if you have opted in to marketing communications.
  • Responsible gaming monitoring: Identifying signs of problem gambling and applying appropriate protective measures as described in our Responsible Gaming Policy.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated usage data to improve our website, games, and overall player experience.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by updating your notification preferences in your account settings or by emailing privacy@pirots.best.

6 Data Sharing and Disclosure

Pirots does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Full stop. We may, however, share your data with the following categories of recipients where necessary:

6.1 Service Providers

Trusted third-party vendors who process data on our behalf to provide the Pirots service — including payment processors, identity verification providers, cloud hosting providers, customer support software, and analytics tools. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that require them to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.

6.2 Regulatory and Legal Authorities

Pirots may be required to disclose personal data to government agencies, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies — such as the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) or Philippine gaming regulators — in compliance with applicable law or court orders. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.

6.3 Group Companies

Where Pirots operates under a group corporate structure, data may be shared internally for operational purposes, subject to the same data protection standards applied to all external sharing.

6.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified before your data is subjected to a new or materially different privacy policy.

7 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Pirots uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on our platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly — session management, login authentication, and security. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the platform so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
  • Preference cookies: Remember your settings and personalisation choices across sessions.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to show you relevant promotions on the Pirots platform. Only activated where you have consented.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Pirots platform.

8 Data Retention

Pirots retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Our general retention guidelines are:

  • Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account plus a minimum of five (5) years after closure, in line with AML regulations.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years as required by Philippine AML law.
  • Support and communication records: Retained for three (3) years after the last interaction.
  • Usage and analytics data: Retained in anonymised or aggregated form for up to two (2) years.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you.

9 How We Protect Your Data

Pirots takes data security seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
  • Encrypted storage for sensitive data including ID documents and financial records
  • Role-based access controls — only authorised Pirots personnel can access your data, and only as required for their specific role
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing of our platform infrastructure
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) available and encouraged for all player accounts
  • Comprehensive incident response procedures in the event of a data breach

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your Pirots account and to never share your login credentials with anyone.

10 Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have specific rights regarding your personal data. Pirots is committed to honouring these rights fully. Here is what you are entitled to:

  • Right to be informed: You have the right to know what personal data Pirots holds about you and how it is used — which is exactly what this Privacy Policy provides.
  • Right of access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
  • Right to rectification: If any of your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected.
  • Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data. Note that regulatory retention obligations may limit this right for some data categories.
  • Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
  • Right to object: You can object to your data being processed for direct marketing purposes at any time.
  • Right to file a complaint: If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

11 Protection of Minors

Pirots does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Our platform is strictly for adults as required under Philippine gaming regulations. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will immediately delete that data and close the associated account.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on Pirots, please contact us immediately at privacy@pirots.best so we can take action right away.

12 Third-Party Links

The Pirots platform may occasionally contain references to third-party services — such as payment gateways like GCash or Maya — which operate under their own privacy policies. Once you leave the Pirots platform and navigate to a third-party site or service, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with your Pirots account.

13 Changes to This Privacy Policy

Pirots may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, regulatory requirements, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email and/or a prominent notice on the platform, at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect where practicable.

The most current version of this Privacy Policy will always be available at pirots.best/privacy-policy. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated. We recommend checking this page periodically, especially if you are concerned about how your data is being used.
