How We Collect Your Data
aroonplay collects personal data through the following means:
- Directly from you — when you register for an aroonplay account, complete the KYC verification process, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or update your account settings.
- Automatically through the Platform — when you access aroonplay, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect technical and usage data including your IP address, device information, and browsing behavior on the Platform. This is done through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies as described in Section 9.
- From payment service providers — when you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, aroonplay receives confirmation data from payment providers such as GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank to verify that the transaction has been completed and to match it to your aroonplay account.
- From third-party identity verification services — where aroonplay uses third-party software to assist with KYC document verification, limited identity data may be processed by those services on our behalf. All such services are bound by data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.

- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable law, including anti-money laundering obligations, age verification requirements, and reporting obligations to Philippine regulatory authorities.
- Legitimate interests: Processing for purposes of fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and analytics, where such processing does not override your fundamental rights as a data subject.

International Data Transfers

Where your personal data is transferred to servers or processors located outside the Philippines, aroonplay ensures that such transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable Philippine data protection law, including through the use of appropriate safeguards such as data processing agreements that impose obligations on the recipient equivalent to those required by Philippine law.
aroonplay does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not offer an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate contractual safeguards.

Right to Be Informed & Right to Access
You have the right to be informed about how aroonplay processes your personal data (which this Policy fulfils) and to request a copy of the personal data that aroonplay holds about you. Access requests are fulfilled within 15 business days of identity verification.

For KYC data corrections, contact aroonplay support with supporting documentation.
Right to Erasure

Right to Object
You have the right to object to aroonplay's processing of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing conducted on the basis of legitimate interests, in which case aroonplay will assess whether our legitimate interests override your fundamental rights in the specific context.
Right to Data Portability
Where aroonplay processes your personal data by automated means on the basis of your consent or contractual necessity, you have the right to receive a machine-readable copy of your data and to transmit it to another controller. Contact aroonplay support to submit a portability request.
Right to Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances — including while a dispute about accuracy or lawfulness is being resolved — you have the right to request that aroonplay restricts the processing of your personal data to storage only. During a restriction period, aroonplay will not use your data for any other purpose without your consent or to establish or defend legal claims.
Minors
aroonplay is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and older. aroonplay does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The collection of personal data from minors is a violation of both aroonplay's Terms and Conditions and the applicable age restriction requirements for online gaming in the Philippines.
If aroonplay becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will immediately close the associated account, delete or anonymize the personal data in accordance with our data disposal procedures, and — where applicable — return any funds deposited to the payment source.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has created an aroonplay account using false age information, please contact aroonplay support immediately at [email protected] with details of the account. aroonplay will investigate and take appropriate action promptly.
Links to Third-Party Sites
The aroonplay platform may contain links to third-party services — including payment providers such as GCash and Maya — whose own privacy policies govern the data they collect when you interact with their services. aroonplay is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services, and this Policy does not apply to them.
When you initiate a GCash or Maya transaction from the aroonplay cashier, you will interact with those providers' own platforms, which are governed by their respective privacy policies. aroonplay recommends reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party service before using it.
Changes to This Policy
aroonplay may update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or the features of the Platform. Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we collect, use, or share your personal data — aroonplay will notify registered players via the email address or mobile number on their account before the changes take effect.
The current version of this Policy, together with its effective date, is always published at aroonplay.vip/privacy-policy. We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically.
