This Privacy Policy explains how ArenaPlas ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you access or use our website and services at arenaplas.com. It applies to all registered players, visitors, and anyone who interacts with the ArenaPlas platform in any capacity.
ArenaPlas is fully committed to complying with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). We treat your personal data with the same care and respect we would want our own information to receive.
By registering an account or continuing to use ArenaPlas, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the platform and contact us to have your account and data handled accordingly.
Short version: We only collect what we genuinely need, we never sell your data to anyone, and we give you full control over your personal information at all times.

3. How We Use Your Data
ArenaPlas uses your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes only. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected. Below are the primary uses of your data on the ArenaPlas platform:

4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, ArenaPlas processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing your data is required to fulfill our obligations under the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when registering your ArenaPlas account — including managing your account and processing transactions.
- Legal Obligation: Certain data processing is required by Philippine law, including AML regulations, tax reporting obligations, and gaming authority compliance requirements.
- Legitimate Interests: We process some data — such as security logs and fraud detection data — based on our legitimate interest in protecting the platform and our player community, provided this does not override your privacy rights.
- Consent: Where we rely on your consent — particularly for marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by updating your notification preferences in your account settings or contacting our support team.
Your Data, Your Rights
Filipino players on ArenaPlas have full rights over their personal information. You can request access to your data, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or tell us to stop using your information for marketing — all at no cost. We are legally required to respond to your requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Your privacy rights are not just words in a policy — they are actionable protections backed by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
ArenaPlas does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. We only share your data in the following limited and necessary circumstances:
- Payment Processors: Your financial data is shared with Philippine-licensed payment partners (e.g., GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI) solely to process your transactions. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and applicable data protection laws.
- KYC and Identity Verification Partners: We work with certified identity verification service providers to validate your government-issued IDs and confirm your identity during account registration or when required by regulations.
- Game Technology Providers: Game outcome data may be shared with our game software providers (e.g., JILI Games) as part of game audit and fairness verification processes. No personally identifiable information is shared beyond what is necessary.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: ArenaPlas will disclose data to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the NPC, or law enforcement agencies when legally required or in response to a valid court order.
- Professional Advisors: Lawyers, auditors, and consultants who require access to data in order to provide their professional services, subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections as set out in this policy.
All third parties who receive your data from ArenaPlas are required to handle it in accordance with Philippine data privacy laws and to maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
ArenaPlas uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how players use our services. Here's a breakdown of the types of cookies we use:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in, security tokens, and cookies that remember your language or currency settings. You cannot opt out of these without affecting platform functionality.
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the platform — which pages are popular, where users drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use tools like Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Functional Cookies: Store your preferences such as notification settings, responsible gaming limits you've set, and layout preferences so you do not have to reconfigure them every visit.
- Marketing Cookies: Used to show you relevant promotions and bonus offers based on your gaming history and preferences. These are only active if you have consented to marketing communications.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain ArenaPlas features.
7. Data Security
Protecting your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure is a top priority for ArenaPlas. We implement a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures, including:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the ArenaPlas platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols, making it unreadable to any third party intercepting the connection.
- Secure Data Storage: Your personal data is stored on servers with robust access controls, firewall protections, and regular security patching. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized ArenaPlas personnel only, on a need-to-know basis.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Players are encouraged to enable 2FA on their accounts for an additional layer of login security beyond just a password.
- Real-Time Fraud Monitoring: Our security systems continuously monitor for unusual account activity, suspicious login patterns, and potential data breaches, triggering automated alerts and human review where needed.
- Regular Security Audits: ArenaPlas undergoes periodic security audits and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity specialists to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Data Breach Response: In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, ArenaPlas will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by the Data Privacy Act.
Important: While we do everything on our end to protect your data, you also play a role. Never share your ArenaPlas password with anyone — including people claiming to be ArenaPlas staff. Our team will never ask for your password.
8. Data Retention
ArenaPlas retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
- Active Accounts: Personal data associated with your active ArenaPlas account is retained for the duration of the account's lifetime.
- Closed Accounts: Following account closure, we retain your data for a minimum of five (5) years to comply with Philippine AML regulations, tax laws, and gaming authority record-keeping requirements.
- Transaction Records: Financial transaction data is retained for at least five (5) years from the date of the transaction, as required by Philippine law.
- Communication Records: Customer support interactions are retained for two (2) years for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
- Analytics Data: Anonymized and aggregated usage data may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement purposes, as it cannot be linked back to any individual player.
Once the applicable retention period has expired and there is no overriding legal requirement to retain your data, ArenaPlas will securely delete or anonymize your personal information.
Play Anywhere, Stay Protected
Whether you're spinning slots from El Nido or live-betting the PBA from your condo in BGC, the ArenaPlas privacy protection travels with you. Our mobile platform uses the same security infrastructure as our desktop experience — your data stays encrypted and private no matter where you play from.
No sketchy data collection. No selling your info to advertisers. Just clean, transparent gaming with full data protection built in.

ArenaPlas may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable Philippine laws, or NPC guidance. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email and post a prominent notice on the platform at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
Minor updates — such as grammatical corrections or clarifications that do not affect how your data is processed — may be made without prior notice. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always show when the policy was most recently revised.
Continued use of the ArenaPlas platform after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how your data is being protected.
