Six principles that guide how ik888 handles your personal data. These summarize our approach — the full legal policy follows below.
ik888 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary for account creation, KYC verification, payment processing, and responsible gaming compliance. We do not collect data we do not have a lawful purpose to hold.
ik888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies. Your data is used solely for the operational purposes described in this Policy and shared only with service providers who require it to deliver our platform.
All personal data held by ik888 is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. Access to personally identifiable data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis, with full audit logging.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the rights to be informed, to access, correct, erase, restrict processing, and object to the use of your personal data. ik888 provides a straightforward process for exercising all of these rights.
ik888 retains personal data only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations. Data is securely deleted or anonymised at the end of its applicable retention period.
ik888 tells you clearly what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and who we share it with. This Privacy Policy is written in plain, accessible language — not buried in unnecessary legal complexity — so every Filipino player can understand exactly how their data is handled.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ik888 ("ik888," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you," "your," or "Data Subject") who access or use the ik888 platform at ik888.vip and all associated services, games, and features (the "Platform").
This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines ("DPA"), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations ("IRR"), as administered by the National Privacy Commission ("NPC"). By registering an ik888 account or using any part of the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.
ik888 takes the protection of personal data seriously. This Policy applies to all data we collect, whether provided directly by you during registration or KYC, collected automatically through your use of the Platform, or received from third-party service providers in the course of operating the ik888 service.
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ik888 is the data controller in respect of the personal data collected and processed through the Platform. As data controller, ik888 determines the purposes for which and the means by which your personal data is processed.
ik888 has designated a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") who is responsible for overseeing the Platform's compliance with data privacy laws and for handling data subject requests and complaints. The DPO can be contacted through the details provided in Section 16 of this Policy.
ik888 collects the following categories of personal data from registered members and platform users:
ik888 collects personal data through the following channels and methods:
ik888 processes your personal data only where a lawful basis for processing exists under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. The following table sets out the primary purposes for which your data is processed and the corresponding legal basis:
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Identity, contact, login data | Performance of contract |
| Age verification (21+ requirement) | Date of birth, KYC ID document | Legal obligation; legitimate interest |
| KYC identity verification | ID document, selfie, ID number | Legal obligation (AML compliance) |
| Payment processing (deposits & withdrawals) | Financial data, payment method info | Performance of contract |
| Fraud prevention and security | Technical data, IP, transaction history | Legitimate interest; legal obligation |
| Responsible gaming compliance | Gaming activity, deposit data, self-exclusion status | Legal obligation; legitimate interest |
| Customer support and dispute resolution | Communications data, account data | Performance of contract; legitimate interest |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Technical, device, session data (anonymised) | Legitimate interest |
| Marketing communications | Email, preferences, gaming history | Consent (opt-in only) |
| Legal and regulatory compliance | All relevant data categories | Legal obligation |
Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is a legally mandated process that ik888 is required to conduct before enabling withdrawals on any player account. KYC is required by applicable Philippine anti-money laundering laws and responsible gaming obligations, and serves to verify that each ik888 member is who they claim to be and is of legal gaming age (21 and above).
The personal data you submit during KYC — including your government-issued ID document, selfie photograph, and ID number — is processed with heightened security measures. This data is used solely for identity and age verification, fraud prevention, and anti-money laundering compliance. It is not used for any commercial or marketing purpose.
Where ik888 uses a third-party identity verification service to process KYC documents, that service provider is engaged under a Data Processing Agreement that requires it to process your data solely for verification purposes and to apply security standards equivalent to those applied by ik888. ik888 remains the data controller for all KYC data and is responsible for its protection.
KYC documents are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of account closure, consistent with Philippine anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements. After the applicable retention period, documents are securely deleted using certified data destruction procedures.
ik888 uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. The following types of Cookies are used on ik888:
These Cookies are essential to the operation of the ik888 Platform and cannot be disabled. They enable core functions including your login session management, security authentication tokens, fraud prevention, and load balancing. Without these Cookies, the Platform cannot function correctly. No consent is required for strictly necessary Cookies under applicable data privacy law.
ik888 uses anonymised analytics Cookies to understand how users interact with the Platform — which pages are visited most frequently, where navigation errors occur, and how game loading performance can be improved. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. Analytics Cookies require your consent, which is collected via the cookie consent mechanism when you first access the Platform.
Functional Cookies enable personalised features on the ik888 Platform, such as remembering your language preferences, your most recently played games, and UI settings you have applied to your account dashboard. These Cookies improve your experience but are not essential to core platform operation.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings panel available on the ik888 Platform. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings, though disabling strictly necessary Cookies will prevent the Platform from functioning correctly and may prevent you from logging in to your ik888 account.
ik888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share your personal data only in the following strictly defined circumstances:
To process your deposits and withdrawals, ik888 shares necessary transaction data (your name, amount, reference number, and payment method identifier) with the applicable payment processor: GCash (Mynt), Maya (Voyager Innovations), GrabPay, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, or 7-Eleven Cliqq. Data shared with payment providers is limited to what is required to complete the transaction and is governed by the payment provider's own privacy policies.
When you launch a game on the ik888 Platform, your anonymised player session token — not your personally identifiable data — is shared with the relevant game provider (e.g., PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, Jili Games, JDB, Evolution Gaming) to initiate your game session. Game providers do not receive your full name, contact details, ID data, or financial information from ik888.
Where ik888 employs a third-party identity verification service to process KYC documents, your ID document and selfie are transmitted to that provider for verification processing under a Data Processing Agreement. ik888 remains the data controller.
ik888 is required by applicable Philippine law to disclose personal data to competent regulatory and law enforcement authorities in specific circumstances, including pursuant to court orders, requests under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, or lawful requests from the National Privacy Commission. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required by law and are documented in our compliance records.
ik888 may share relevant personal data with legal counsel, auditors, or other professional advisors engaged to provide services to ik888, where such professionals are bound by professional confidentiality obligations. Access is limited to data relevant to the specific matter for which the advisor is engaged.
ik888 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. The following security measures are applied across all personal data processing systems:
While ik888 employs rigorous security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your ik888 account credentials. We recommend enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account for an additional layer of login security.
ik888 retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply to the main categories of personal data held by ik888:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | AML / legal obligation |
| KYC identity documents | 5 years from account closure | Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160) |
| Financial transaction records | 5 years from transaction date | AML / tax compliance |
| Gaming activity records | 3 years from account closure | Responsible gaming; dispute resolution |
| Customer support records | 3 years from last interaction | Legitimate interest; dispute resolution |
| Marketing consent records | Until withdrawal of consent + 1 year | Proof of consent compliance |
| Cookie and analytics data | 13 months from collection | Analytics purpose limitation |
| Self-exclusion records | Indefinite (permanent self-exclusion) | Responsible gaming obligation |
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is either securely deleted using certified data destruction procedures, or anonymised in a manner that permanently prevents re-identification of the individual. Anonymised data may be retained for longer periods for aggregate statistical analysis.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, you have the following rights as a data subject with respect to your personal data held by ik888. ik888 is committed to facilitating the exercise of all of these rights without undue delay.
You have the right to be informed of what personal data ik888 holds about you, the purposes for processing, and how it is used. This Privacy Policy fulfils ik888's obligation to inform.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data ik888 holds about you. Requests will be fulfilled within 15 business days. A nominal fee may apply for repeated or excessive access requests.
If any personal data ik888 holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. Account profile data can be updated through your account settings; KYC data corrections require support contact.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to retention obligations under Philippine law. Data subject to mandatory retention (e.g., KYC records, AML transaction records) cannot be erased before the applicable retention period.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, particularly for marketing purposes. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe" in any marketing email or contacting support.
You have the right to request that ik888 restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a data accuracy complaint is under investigation.
Where processing is based on consent or contract, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Contact the ik888 DPO to submit a portability request.
If you believe ik888 has violated your data privacy rights, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. We encourage you to contact our DPO first so we can address your concern directly.
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to the ik888 Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Rights Request." ik888 will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and fulfil it within the timeframe required by applicable law.
The ik888 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. ik888 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. The Platform employs KYC age verification procedures to prevent underage registration and access to real-money gaming services.
If ik888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21 without parental or guardian consent, ik888 will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on ik888, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] immediately. We will investigate and take appropriate action within 5 business days.
ik888 may send you promotional communications — including information about new games, active promotions, reload bonus offers, and special events — only where you have explicitly consented to receive such communications at the time of account registration or at a subsequent point through your account settings.
Marketing consent is entirely optional and is separate from the operational communications required to manage your ik888 account (account verification emails, withdrawal confirmation notifications, security alerts, and responsible gaming communications, which are sent regardless of marketing preferences as they are required for platform operation).
You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time, without charge, by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email from ik888, or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings, or by contacting customer support. Withdrawal of marketing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before you withdrew your consent.
The ik888 Platform may reference or link to third-party services in the course of platform operation — for example, payment provider pages or game provider interfaces accessed through the game lobby. These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and data processing terms. ik888 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services accessed through or in connection with the ik888 Platform.
Where ik888 engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf — including payment processors, KYC verification services, cloud infrastructure providers, and customer support tools — those providers are engaged as data processors under Data Processing Agreements that require them to process data only in accordance with ik888's instructions, apply equivalent security standards, and prohibit them from using your data for any purpose other than the contracted service.
ik888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or platform functionality. When we make material changes to this Policy — that is, changes that meaningfully affect how your personal data is processed or your rights as a data subject — we will notify you by email to your registered ik888 account address and/or by displaying a prominent notice within the Platform upon next login, with at least 14 days' notice before the changes take effect.
Minor or clarificatory changes that do not materially affect data processing or your rights may be made without individual notification, though the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. The current version of this Privacy Policy is always available at ik888.vip/privacy-policy.
Your continued use of the ik888 Platform following the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of and agreement to the revised terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
For any questions, requests, or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or ik888's data processing practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details below. We are committed to responding promptly and resolving all data privacy concerns in a transparent and cooperative manner.
If you are not satisfied with ik888's response to your data privacy concern, or if you believe ik888 is processing your personal data in violation of the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. The NPC is the government body responsible for administering and enforcing the Data Privacy Act.
