kn88 uses your Personal Data for the following purposes:
We use your registration and identity data to create and maintain your kn88 account, authenticate your logins, process deposits and withdrawals, and deliver the gaming services you have requested. This includes communicating with you about your account status, transaction confirmations, and service updates that are necessary to deliver the service.
kn88 uses your KYC data — including your government-issued ID and associated personal details — to verify your identity and confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years as mandated by PAGCOR. We also use transaction and identity data to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Act, which requires kn88 to monitor transactions, report suspicious activity to the AMLC (Anti-Money Laundering Council), and maintain transaction records for a minimum of five years.
kn88 uses technical data, IP address information, device fingerprinting, and transaction pattern analysis to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and unauthorized access to player accounts. This processing is conducted in kn88's legitimate interest of maintaining a secure platform for all players.
kn88 uses your wagering history, session data, and financial transaction data to monitor for indicators of problem gambling and to support the responsible gaming tools in your account. This includes automatic assessment of whether account-level interventions — such as cooling-off prompts or support referrals — may be warranted under kn88's responsible gaming framework.
Communications data — including live chat transcripts and email correspondence — is used to resolve your support requests, improve the quality of our support service, and maintain records of account-related decisions where required for compliance.
Aggregated and anonymized usage data is used to understand how players interact with the kn88 Platform, identify performance issues, improve game lobby design, and optimize the mobile browsing experience for Filipino players on common Android devices and LTE connections.
With your consent, kn88 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, events, and offers. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting kn88 support. Opt-out requests are processed within 10 business days and will not affect your ability to use the Platform.
kn88 does not sell or rent your Personal Data to third parties. We disclose Personal Data only in the following limited circumstances:
kn88 engages third-party service providers to process data on our behalf for specific operational purposes. These include payment processing partners (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and over-the-counter payment networks), identity verification services for KYC, game providers who need to receive session tokens to load game content, cloud infrastructure providers, and customer support platform providers. All such processors are bound by written data processing agreements requiring them to handle your data only on kn88's instructions and in accordance with this Policy.
kn88 is required by law to disclose certain information to regulatory authorities, including PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and courts or law enforcement agencies presenting valid legal process. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required by the applicable legal obligation.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving kn88, Personal Data held by kn88 may be disclosed to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. Players will be notified of any such transfer and any material change to how their data is handled.

Notwithstanding these measures, no data transmission over the internet is completely secure. kn88 cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to the Platform. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own kn88 account credentials.
kn88 retains your Personal Data for the following periods, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized:

To exercise any of these rights, contact kn88 support via live chat or by email at [email protected] (plain text only — not a clickable link). kn88 will respond within 15 business days.

The kn88 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in compliance with PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming in the Philippines. kn88 does not knowingly collect or process Personal Data from persons under the age of 21.
If you believe that a person under the age of 21 has created a kn88 account, please contact kn88 support immediately at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link) or via live chat.
kn88's primary platform operations are based in the Philippines. Certain third-party service providers — including game providers and cloud infrastructure partners — may be located outside the Philippines and may receive or process your Personal Data in jurisdictions other than the Philippines.
Where Personal Data is transferred outside the Philippines, kn88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual commitments by the receiving party to apply data protection standards equivalent to those required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. kn88 does not transfer Personal Data to jurisdictions that lack adequate legal frameworks for data protection without such contractual safeguards in place.
kn88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or regulatory requirements. Where a material amendment is made, kn88 will notify registered players by email or by a prominent notice on the kn88 Platform at least 14 days before the amendment takes effect.
