6Sharing Your Personal Data

bestso88 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:

These include: KYC and identity verification providers, payment processors (GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard processing networks), cloud infrastructure providers, and customer support platform providers.

7Cookies and Tracking Technologies

bestso88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the platform function correctly and improve your experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for the bestso88 platform to function — login sessions, bet slip functionality, and security features. These cannot be disabled.
  • Performance cookies: Collect anonymised data about how members use the platform, helping us identify and fix performance issues.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings and display options, to personalise your bestso88 experience.
  • Analytics cookies: Used by our analytics tools to understand traffic patterns and feature usage in aggregate, non-identifiable form.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the core functions of bestso88, but some convenience features may not work as expected.

8How We Protect Your Data

bestso88 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Our security practices include:

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for all data transmitted between your device and bestso88 servers
  • Encryption of stored sensitive data including passwords (which are hashed and never stored in plain text) and payment credentials
  • Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised bestso88 staff can access member data, and only to the extent necessary for their role
  • Regular internal security reviews and vulnerability assessments
  • Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and notify affected members of any data breaches in accordance with the Data Privacy Act

While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We strongly encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your bestso88 account and to never share your login details with anyone.

9How Long We Keep Your Data

bestso88 retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period after closure, depending on the category of data and applicable legal requirements:

  • Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your bestso88 membership and for five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
  • Transaction records: Retained for five (5) years from the date of each transaction, as required under Philippine financial regulations.
  • KYC documents: Retained for five (5) years following account closure or the most recent transaction, whichever is later.
  • Customer support records: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the most recent interaction.
  • Technical and usage logs: Retained for up to twelve (12) months for performance monitoring and security purposes, then deleted or anonymised.

When data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, or when the retention period has expired, bestso88 will securely delete or anonymise it.

11Children's Privacy

bestso88 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

If you believe a minor has created a bestso88 account, please contact us immediately at support@bestso88.net so we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

12Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of bestso88's service providers — including cloud hosting, KYC, and analytics partners — may process data outside of the Philippines. When this occurs, bestso88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to or greater than that required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

These safeguards include contractual data processing agreements that bind service providers to confidentiality, data minimisation, and security standards consistent with this Privacy Policy. We do not transfer personal data to countries that do not offer adequate data protection standards without implementing appropriate contractual protections.

13Changes to This Privacy Policy

bestso88 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email at the address registered to your bestso88 account and/or by a prominent notice on the platform before the changes take effect.

The effective date of the current version is displayed at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of bestso88 after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
