1. Overview

nustargame.c is a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming platform serving Filipino players across the Philippines. As a data controller, nustargame.c is responsible for the personal data it collects and processes in connection with account registration, gameplay, financial transactions, and customer support. This Policy applies to all personal data processed through the nustargame.c website, platform interface, and related services, regardless of the device or method of access.

References in this Policy to "nustargame.c", "we", "us", or "our" refer to the nustargame.c platform and its operating entity. References to "you" or "your" refer to the individual whose personal data is being processed, including registered account holders, prospective players, and website visitors.

2. Personal Data We Collect

2.1 Account Registration Data

When you register a nustargame.c account, we collect: full name, email address, date of birth (for age verification), nationality, username, and password (stored in hashed form). We do not store plaintext passwords at any time.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with PAGCOR's Know Your Customer requirements and the Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), nustargame.c may collect copies of government-issued Philippine identification documents (e.g., SSS ID, PhilHealth card, Driver's Licence, Philippine Passport), proof of address, and payment method verification documents.

2.3 Financial Transaction Data

We collect records of all deposits, withdrawals, and gaming transactions associated with your account. This includes transaction amounts, timestamps, payment method identifiers (GCash number, PayMaya number, BPI/BDO/Metrobank account reference), and transaction status records. We do not store full bank account numbers or full card numbers.

2.4 Gameplay Data

We collect records of your gaming activity on nustargame.c, including games played, bets placed, outcomes, session durations, and responsible gaming tool usage (deposit limits set, self-exclusion requests, cooling-off periods). This data is retained for regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.

2.5 Technical and Device Data

When you access nustargame.c, we automatically collect: IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, referring URL, pages visited, session duration, and error logs. This data is used for platform security, fraud detection, and technical performance optimization.

2.6 Communications Data

When you contact nustargame.c customer support via live chat or email, we collect and retain records of those communications, including your queries, our responses, and any personal data shared in the course of the interaction.

nustargame.c collects personal data through the following means:

• Directly from you: Information you provide during registration, KYC verification, account updates, deposit and withdrawal requests, and support interactions.

• From payment processors: Transaction confirmation data from GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank in connection with deposits and withdrawals.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, nustargame.c relies on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with PAGCOR licensing conditions, AMLA reporting obligations, tax obligations, and other mandatory Philippine regulatory requirements.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud detection, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and platform improvement, where those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Consent: For marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where your explicit consent has been obtained and can be withdrawn at any time.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

nustargame.c does not sell your personal data. We share your personal data only in the following circumstances:

• KYC and identity verification providers: Third-party providers engaged to verify your identity documents in connection with account registration and withdrawal processing.
• Game providers: Where third-party game software providers operate games on the nustargame.c platform, certain gameplay session data may be shared with those providers for game operation and integrity purposes.
• Regulatory authorities: PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government bodies where disclosure is required by law or regulatory obligation.
• Law enforcement: Philippine law enforcement agencies where disclosure is required pursuant to a valid legal process, court order, or applicable law.
• Service providers: Technology, security, analytics, and customer support service providers engaged by nustargame.c under contractual data processing agreements that require them to handle your data only on our instructions.

7. Data Retention

nustargame.c retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, subject to the following minimum retention periods required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations:

Upon expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to an individual.

8. Data Security

nustargame.c implements industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and nustargame.c servers.
• Encrypted storage of passwords using one-way cryptographic hashing algorithms.
• Access controls limiting nustargame.c employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis.
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the nustargame.c platform.
• Data breach detection and response procedures, including notification to the National Privacy Commission and affected individuals as required by the Data Privacy Act and NPC Circular No. 16-03.

Despite these measures, no data transmission over the internet or data storage system is completely secure. nustargame.c cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining rigorous data protection standards. If you suspect a security incident involving your nustargame.c account, contact our support team immediately.

11. Minors

nustargame.c does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. The minimum age to access nustargame.c is 21 years old in compliance with PAGCOR regulations.
