We are required by law to share certain personal data with PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government agencies and law enforcement authorities where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive. This includes reporting suspicious transactions as required under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

6.2 Payment Service Providers

We share necessary transaction data with payment service providers including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other approved payment processors to facilitate deposits and withdrawals.

Certain games available on the okbey platform are provided by third-party game developers and software providers. These providers may receive limited gameplay data necessary to operate their games and ensure fair play. They are not permitted to use this data for any other purpose.

6.6 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of okbey's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer and any changes to this Privacy Policy that may result.

7. Data Security

okbey takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a comprehensive range of technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the okbey platform is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Sensitive data stored on our servers, including passwords and payment information, is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to okbey employees and contractors who have a legitimate need to access it for their job functions. All staff with access to personal data are subject to strict confidentiality obligations and receive regular data protection training.
• Two-Factor Authentication: We offer two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts to provide an additional layer of security against unauthorized access.
• Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scans to identify and address potential security weaknesses in our platform.
• Incident Response: We maintain a data breach response plan and will notify affected users and the National Privacy Commission in the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the okbey platform at your own risk. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

8. Data Retention

okbey retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. The specific retention periods we apply are as follows:

• Communications: Customer support communications are retained for two (2) years from the date of the last communication, unless a longer retention period is required for ongoing dispute resolution.
• Marketing Data: If you have consented to receive marketing communications, we retain your marketing preferences until you withdraw your consent or request deletion of your data.
