You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by adjusting your account settings or clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails.
DATA PROTECTION MEASURES
berpk implements comprehensive technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers, secure storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms that prevent even berpk employees from viewing your actual password, regular security audits by independent third-party firms specializing in cybersecurity, firewall protection and intrusion detection systems monitoring our network for suspicious activity, and strict access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis with all access logged and monitored.
Despite these measures, no system is completely immune from security breaches. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting Filipino players, berpk will notify affected individuals and the National Privacy Commission as required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and take immediate steps to mitigate harm and prevent future incidents.
3. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
berpk does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
3.1 Service Providers
We share necessary information with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the berpk platform, including payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, banks) who process your deposits and withdrawals, game software providers who deliver casino games and live dealer experiences, identity verification services that confirm your age and identity, customer support platforms that enable our 24/7 support team to assist you, cloud hosting providers who maintain our servers and databases, and marketing platforms that deliver promotional communications. All service providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the specified purposes.

4. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
berpk uses cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance your gaming experience and improve our services. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and analyze how you use our platform. We use essential cookies required for basic platform functionality and security, performance cookies that collect information about how Filipino players interact with berpk to identify areas for improvement, and functional cookies that remember your preferences such as language settings and favorite games.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some berpk features. Our platform may not function properly if you block all cookies, particularly those essential for account security and transaction processing.
5. DATA RETENTION
berpk retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy a nd comply with legal obligations. Specifically, we retain account information and transaction records for a minimum of five years after account closure as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine anti-money laundering laws. Identification documents and KYC verification records are retained for the duration required by regulatory authorities. Customer support communications and dispute records are maintained for as long as necessary to resolve issues and defend against legal claims. Marketing consent records are kept until you withdraw consent or request deletion.
Once the retention period expires and there is no legal requirement to maintain the data, berpk will securely delete or anonymize your personal information to prevent identification. Even after deletion, certain anonymized data may be retained for statistical analysis and platform improvement purposes, but this data cannot be used to identify you as an individual Filipino player.
6. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
berpk services are strictly for individuals who are 21 years of age or older in compliance with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine gambling laws. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21 years of age. Our registration process requires age verification, and we implement technical measures to prevent underage access to our platform. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 21, we will immediately delete that information and close the associated account without the ability to recover any deposited funds, as processing such transactions would violate Philippine law.
Parents and guardians who believe their child has provided information to berpk should contact us immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action. We encourage Filipino families to use parental control software and monitor internet usage to prevent underage access to gambling sites.
7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
While berpk primarily serves Filipino players and maintains data within the Philippines, some of our service providers and technology partners may be located outside the Philippines, including in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as Philippine law. When we transfer your personal information internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards including contractual clauses requiring service providers to protect your data according to Philippine standards, encryption of data in transit and at rest, and limiting transfers to countries recognized as having adequate data protection frameworks.
By using berpk services, you consent to the transfer of your information outside the Philippines where necessary to provide gaming services, process payments via international payment networks, and support platform operations.
8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
berpk reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. Material changes will be communicated to Filipino players through email notification, prominent platform announcements, or updates to the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
Continued use of berpk services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you may close your account by contacting customer support, though we will still retain certain information as required by law and our data retention policies.
