ace55 Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ace55 ("ace55," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of the online casino and sportsbook platform available at ace55.ws, collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal data relating to registered players, visitors, and prospective users ("you" or "your") of the Platform.

This Policy is issued in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). By accessing or using the ace55 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.

This Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are available on the Platform. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and another document, this Policy shall govern with respect to data privacy matters.

ace55 collects only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. The categories of personal data we collect include the following:

ace55 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for identity verification and regulatory compliance. Where the collection of sensitive data is necessary (such as a government-issued ID), it is handled with additional security controls as described in Section 9 of this Policy.

ace55 collects personal data through the following means:

• Direct interactions: When you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or respond to a survey or promotion on the Platform.
• Automated technologies: As you navigate the Platform, we automatically collect Technical Data and Usage Data through cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies. See Section 7 for full details on our cookie practices.
• Third-party payment processors: When you transact through GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank, we receive transaction confirmation data from these processors to verify your deposit or process your withdrawal. We do not receive or store your full bank credentials.
• Identity verification services: We may use regulated third-party KYC service providers to assist in verifying government-issued IDs and confirming your identity. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements.
• Fraud detection and security tools: We use automated tools that analyze Technical Data and Usage Data to identify suspicious activity, protect player accounts, and comply with our anti-money laundering obligations under Philippine law.

ace55 processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:

1. Account Registration and Management: To create and maintain your player account, verify your identity and age (21+ requirement), and enable you to access all features of the Platform.
2. KYC and Regulatory Compliance: To fulfill our obligations under Philippine anti-money laundering laws (AMLA, Republic Act No. 9160 as amended), PAGCOR regulations, and related legal requirements, including verifying the source of funds where applicable.
3. Transaction Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other supported payment methods, and to maintain accurate financial records of your account activity.
4. Customer Support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and provide technical assistance through our live chat, email, and other support channels available 24/7.
5. Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming patterns, identify potential problem gambling behaviors, enforce deposit and session limits you have set, process self-exclusion requests, and comply with responsible gaming obligations.
6. Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized account access, bonus abuse, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct as defined in our Terms & Conditions.
7. Platform Improvement: To analyze how players interact with ace55, identify performance issues, and improve the design, functionality, and content of the Platform — including the casino games, sportsbook, and bingo offerings.
8. Marketing Communications: To send you information about promotions, bonuses, and new features on ace55 that may be relevant to you — but only where you have given your explicit consent, or where we have a legitimate interest and you have not opted out.
9. Legal and Regulatory Obligations: To comply with court orders, directions from the National Privacy Commission, PAGCOR requirements, law enforcement requests, and other mandatory legal obligations under Philippine law.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, ace55 must have a lawful basis for each processing activity. The legal bases we rely on are as follows:

• Consent: For marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where you have given your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Contractual Necessity: For processing that is necessary to perform the contract between you and ace55 — including account creation, transaction processing, and customer support.
• Legal Obligation: For processing that is required to comply with Philippine law, including KYC verification, AML reporting, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, and responses to lawful authority requests.
• Legitimate Interests: For fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform analytics, and responsible gaming monitoring, where our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.

Where ace55 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team or updating your account preferences. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

ace55 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards:

• KYC and Identity Verification Providers: Regulated third-party services that assist ace55 in verifying player identities and complying with KYC and AML obligations. All such providers operate under strict data processing agreements.
• Technology Service Providers: Cloud hosting, platform infrastructure, security monitoring, and analytics providers who process data on behalf of ace55 as data processors, subject to binding contractual obligations.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: PAGCOR, the National Privacy Commission, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the Philippine National Police, or other competent authorities, where ace55 is legally required or permitted to disclose data.
• Professional Advisors: Lawyers, accountants, and auditors who require access to data in connection with their professional services, subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving ace55, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Policy.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ace55. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Privacy Officer through the support channel listed in Section 13.

ace55 is strictly an adult platform. In compliance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations, ace55 services are available exclusively to individuals who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older. ace55 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

All player accounts are subject to mandatory age verification as part of the KYC process. If ace55 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, that account will be immediately suspended, any associated funds will be returned following verification, and the data will be securely deleted.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has created an account on ace55, please contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
