• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, conducted only where you have given clear, freely given, and specific consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

nustargame.c uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and analyse usage patterns. The following categories of cookies are used:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the operation of nustargame.c — including login session management, security tokens, and fraud prevention mechanisms. These cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, game lobby layout, and responsible gaming configuration. These enhance your nustargame.c experience but are not required for core functionality.
• Analytical cookies: Collect anonymised data on how users navigate nustargame.c — pages visited, session duration, features used. This data helps nustargame.c improve the Platform. Used only with your consent.
• Marketing cookies: Track your interaction with nustargame.c promotions to prevent you from seeing the same offer repeatedly and to assess promotional effectiveness. Used only with your consent.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use nustargame.c, including the login function.

8. Data Retention

nustargame.c retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, subject to the following minimum retention periods mandated by law:

• Account and KYC data: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from account closure, as required by PAGCOR's record-keeping obligations and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
• Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, in compliance with BSP and AMLC regulations.
• Gaming history: Retained for a minimum of 3 years from each session date for dispute resolution and regulatory reporting purposes.
• Customer support communications: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last interaction, or longer where the communication relates to an unresolved dispute or regulatory matter.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your account plus 1 year as evidence of consent for compliance purposes.

Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

9. Data Security

nustargame.c employs industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• 256-bit TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the nustargame.c servers — the same standard used by Philippine banks and GCash.
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest in nustargame.c's secure data infrastructure.
• Multi-factor authentication options for player accounts, including GCash MPIN and one-time passwords.
• Login anomaly detection that flags unusual access patterns — unfamiliar devices, IP addresses, or geographic locations — for additional verification.
• Regular independent security audits and penetration testing by qualified cybersecurity professionals.
• Strict access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, with all access logged and auditable.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights and freedoms, nustargame.c will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will inform affected users without undue delay, in accordance with NPC Circular 16-03.
