1 Introduction
At 888Ace, we take the privacy of every Filipino player seriously. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language what personal data we collect when you use the 888Ace platform, why we collect it, how we store and protect it, and what control you have over your own information. We operate in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
When this policy refers to "888Ace," "we," "us," or "our," it means the company operating the 888Ace platform at 888ace.best. When it refers to "you" or "the player," it means any individual who visits, registers on, or otherwise uses our services.
We encourage you to read this policy fully. If anything is unclear or you have questions, our Data Protection Officer (DPO) is reachable at the contact details listed in Section 12.

4 Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, 888Ace processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:
- Contractual necessity — Processing is required to fulfil our obligations to you as a registered player, including account management, game access, and transaction processing.
- Legal obligation — We are required by Philippine law and our gaming licence conditions to collect and retain certain data, including identity and transaction records for AML/KYC compliance.
- Legitimate interests — We process certain data to detect fraud, maintain platform security, and improve our services, where these interests do not override your privacy rights.
- Consent — For marketing communications and non-essential cookies, we rely on your explicit opt-in consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Data You Control, Always
Whether you're in Quezon City or anywhere in the Philippines, your 888Ace account data belongs to you. You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information at any time — just contact our Data Protection Officer. We process all data requests within 15 business days, as required by the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
7 Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Our general retention schedule is:
- Active account data — Retained for the lifetime of your account plus 5 years after closure, in line with Philippine AML and gaming record-keeping requirements.
- Transaction records — Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
- KYC documents — Retained for at least 5 years after account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later.
- Support communications — Retained for 2 years from the date of the last interaction.
- Marketing preferences — Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account.
After the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.
8 Security Measures
888Ace employs a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our key security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all web and mobile traffic
- End-to-end encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all player accounts
- Real-time fraud monitoring and anomaly detection systems
- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by independent security firms
- Role-based access controls ensuring only authorised staff can access personal data
- Incident response plan in place, with NPC breach notification procedures ready if ever needed
While we do everything we can to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee 100% security. You also play a role — please use a strong, unique password for your 888Ace account and never share your login credentials with anyone.

10 Protection of Minors
888Ace strictly prohibits persons under the age of 21 from registering or using our platform, in accordance with Philippine gaming laws. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
Our registration process requires date-of-birth verification, and our KYC process includes age verification through government-issued IDs. If we discover that a minor has registered an account, that account will be suspended immediately, all funds will be returned, and the matter will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created an 888Ace account, please contact us immediately at support@888ace.best so we can take swift action.
