5.1 Service Providers
We work with carefully selected third-party service providers including payment processors, identity verification partners, fraud detection systems, and cloud infrastructure providers. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict them to using your data only for the purpose for which it was shared, with appropriate security measures in place.
5.2 Regulatory and Legal Requirements
As a licensed gaming operation serving the Philippines, gbet link may be required to share certain member data with regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts as required by law.

7. How We Protect Your Data
Data security is an operational priority at gbet link, not just a compliance checkbox. We invest in technical and organisational measures to keep your information safe from unauthorised access, accidental loss, and misuse.
All data transmitted between your device and gbet link servers is protected by industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption. Sensitive data at rest — including payment details and government ID information — is stored in encrypted form. Access to member data within the organisation is restricted on a need-to-know basis, with access logs maintained and reviewed regularly.
Our platform undergoes regular security assessments including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing conducted by qualified security professionals. Staff who handle personal data are trained on data privacy obligations and our internal data handling procedures.
In the Event of a Data Breach
If gbet link becomes aware of a personal data breach that affects member information, we will notify affected members and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules. We maintain an incident response plan to handle such events promptly and appropriately.
8. How Long We Keep Your Data
gbet link retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
Active account data is retained throughout your membership with gbet link and used to provide platform services.
Transaction and betting records are retained for a minimum of five years to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and gaming licence requirements.
Identity and KYC documents are retained for the duration of the account relationship plus five years after account closure, as required by Philippine regulations.
Customer support communications are retained for three years from the date of the interaction to allow for dispute resolution and quality review.
Technical and usage data such as access logs are typically retained for 12 months before being anonymised or deleted.
When data is no longer required, gbet link deletes or irreversibly anonymises it in a secure manner consistent with industry best practice.
