Privacy Policy
At 1898, your privacy matters. This policy explains exactly what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to keep it secure for every member across the Philippines.
Full Policy
When you register or use 1898, we collect personal information that is necessary to operate your account and deliver our services to you as a Philippine member. This includes your full name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, and a government-issued ID for identity verification purposes. We also collect transaction data such as deposit and withdrawal records to maintain accurate account histories and comply with financial monitoring requirements. Technical data — including your device type, browser, IP address, and session activity — is collected automatically to help us detect fraud and protect platform integrity. We only collect the information we genuinely need; we do not request unnecessary personal details at any stage of your membership. All data collected is stored securely on encrypted servers, and access is restricted to authorised personnel only.
Your personal data is used to create and manage your 1898 account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify your identity as required by applicable regulations. We use your contact information to send important account notifications, such as security alerts, transaction confirmations, and updates to platform policies — these communications are not promotional in nature and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active. With your consent, we may also send you information about new games, sports markets, bonus offers, and VIP promotions that may be relevant to your interests. Technical and behavioural data helps us improve platform performance, personalise your experience, and identify any suspicious activity that could put your account at risk. We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces significant legal effects without the possibility of human review. Your information is never sold to third parties under any circumstances.
1898 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any outside party for commercial purposes. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and customer support tools — but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their specific function. All third-party partners we work with are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your information for any purpose beyond the service they provide to us. In certain circumstances, we may be required by Philippine law or a valid legal order to disclose personal information to regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies; in such cases, we will comply while endeavouring to notify you where legally permissible. If 1898 undergoes a business restructuring or acquisition, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, and affected members will be notified in advance. We never share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
All personal data held by 1898 is stored on secure servers protected by industry-standard encryption and access control measures. We use SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our platform, ensuring your account credentials and payment details are never exposed during transit. Internal access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis, and all staff with access to member information undergo regular security training. We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable financial and regulatory obligations in the Philippines. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data retention schedule. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected members promptly and take immediate corrective action.
As a member of 1898, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you at any time by submitting a request to our support team. You may also request corrections to any inaccurate data, or ask us to delete your account and associated personal information, subject to any legal retention requirements that may apply. If you have consented to receiving promotional communications, you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of previous processing. You have the right to object to certain types of data processing and to request that we restrict processing of your data while a complaint or query is being resolved. For members in the Philippines, these rights are consistent with applicable data privacy standards and are enforceable through our internal complaints process. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team directly and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, improvements to our security practices, or updates to applicable Philippine regulations. When we make material changes, we will post a notice on the platform and update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage all members to review this policy periodically so you remain informed about how your data is handled. Continued use of the 1898 platform after any update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised policy. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or how your personal data is managed, our support team is available 24/7 to assist you. You can also review our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming pages for more information on your rights and obligations as a member.
