1. What Information We Collect

The types of personal data apk 16 gathers when you use our platform.

  • Registration details: When you create an account, we collect your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number. This information is required to verify your identity, ensure you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old, and set up your account securely on the apk 16 platform.
  • Identity verification documents: To comply with Philippine regulations and to process withdrawals, we may request a government-issued ID such as a PhilSys card, passport, or driver's licence. These documents are used solely for verification purposes and are stored with strict access controls.
  • Financial information: We collect details related to your deposits and withdrawals, including your GCash number, Maya account, or Philippine bank account details. We do not store full payment credentials — only the reference information needed to process and reconcile your transactions.
  • Device and usage data: When you access the platform from your mobile browser, we automatically collect technical data such as your device type, operating system, browser version, IP address, and session activity. This data helps us optimise platform performance, detect suspicious activity, and improve the overall user experience.

The specific purposes for which your personal data is processed.

  • Account management: Your registration details are used to create and maintain your account, authenticate your identity when you log in, and communicate important account-related updates such as transaction confirmations and security alerts.
  • Payment processing: Financial information is used exclusively to process your deposits and withdrawals through supported Philippine payment channels. We do not use your payment details for any purpose other than completing the transactions you initiate.
  • Regulatory compliance: We are required by Philippine law to verify the identity of our players and to maintain records of financial transactions. Your personal data may be used to fulfil these legal obligations, including anti-money laundering checks and age verification requirements.
  • Platform improvement: Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us understand how players interact with the platform, which features are most popular, and where technical issues may arise. This analysis is used to improve game performance, navigation, and the overall mobile experience.
  • Security and fraud prevention: Device and session data is monitored to detect unusual activity, prevent unauthorised account access, and protect the integrity of the platform. If suspicious behaviour is detected, we may temporarily restrict account access while we investigate.
  • Customer support: Communication records are used to respond to your enquiries, resolve disputes, and follow up on any issues you have raised. We may also use anonymised support data to identify common player concerns and improve our help resources.

  • Regulatory authorities: We may be required by law to disclose certain player information to Philippine government agencies, law enforcement bodies, or regulatory authorities. Any such disclosure will be made only to the extent required by applicable law and will be handled with appropriate care.
  • Service providers: We work with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers who assist with platform operations, such as hosting and technical infrastructure. These providers are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
