Privacy at a Glance
How cosino Handles Your Data
These cards summarise the key principles behind cosino's approach to data privacy. The full legal text follows in the sections below.
What We Collect
cosino collects the personal data you provide at registration — name, date of birth, address, contact details — alongside payment information, government-issued ID for KYC, and gaming activity records generated during your time on the platform.
Why We Use It
Your data is used to manage your cosino account, process PHP deposits and withdrawals, fulfill KYC and AML compliance obligations, personalise your experience, and ensure responsible gaming tools are appropriately available to you.
Who We Share It With
cosino does not sell your personal data. Data may be shared with licensed game providers, Philippine payment processors (including GCash and Maya partners), KYC verification services, and regulatory authorities such as PAGCOR where legally required.
How We Protect It
cosino employs SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmissions, access controls limiting staff exposure to personal data, and regular security assessments. Your cosino Login credentials are stored in hashed form and are never accessible in plain text by staff.
Your Rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by cosino, subject to legal retention requirements. You may also object to certain processing activities and withdraw consent where applicable.
How Long We Keep It
cosino retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, in compliance with Philippine AML regulations and PAGCOR requirements. Data no longer required for legal purposes is securely deleted.

1 Introduction & Scope
cosino ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all players who access or use the cosino platform. This Privacy Policy describes how cosino collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal data in connection with your use of the cosino website, mobile-optimised platform, and all related services.
This policy applies to all registered cosino account holders, prospective players who have commenced but not completed registration, and any individual whose personal data cosino receives in the course of providing its services. It applies regardless of how you access the cosino platform — whether through a desktop browser, mobile browser, or any application provided by cosino.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with the cosino Terms & Conditions. Terms used in this policy that are defined in the Terms & Conditions carry the same meaning here unless otherwise stated.
cosino processes personal data in compliance with the Republic of the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as overseen by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). cosino is also subject to applicable PAGCOR regulations governing the handling of player data in the context of licensed online gaming operations.
2 Data Controller
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, cosino acts as the Personal Information Controller in respect of the personal data it collects and processes in connection with the cosino platform. cosino determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is responsible for ensuring that such processing complies with applicable Philippine data privacy law.
Where cosino engages third-party service providers — such as payment processors, KYC verification partners, or licensed game providers — to process personal data on its behalf, those parties act as Personal Information Processors and are bound by data processing agreements that require them to handle your data only in accordance with cosino's instructions and applicable law.
If you have any questions about how your personal data is controlled or processed, you may contact cosino's designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) using the contact details provided in Section 14 of this policy.
3 Personal Data We Collect
cosino collects the following categories of personal data in connection with the operation of the cosino platform:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, government-issued ID number | Account registration, KYC verification, age verification (21+) |
| Contact Data | Mobile number, email address, residential address (city/province in the Philippines) | Account communication, OTP delivery, support correspondence |
| Financial Data | GCash mobile number, Maya account details, BPI/BDO/Metrobank account name, transaction history | Processing PHP deposits and withdrawals, AML compliance |
| KYC Documents | Scanned or photographed government ID, proof of address, selfie verification | Identity verification, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance |
| Gaming Activity | Bet history, game sessions, win/loss records, bonus usage, login timestamps | Account management, responsible gaming monitoring, dispute resolution |

cosino does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly necessary for KYC compliance and the lawful operation of the platform. Where sensitive information (such as a copy of a government-issued ID bearing a PhilSys number) is collected, it is handled with an elevated level of protection consistent with the Data Privacy Act.
4 How We Collect Your Data
cosino collects your personal data through the following means:
- Directly from you — when you register a cosino account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact cosino support, or participate in a promotion;
- Automatically during platform use — through cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies that record technical data such as your IP address, device identifiers, and session activity each time you use the cosino platform;
- From third-party KYC and identity verification providers — cosino may receive identity verification results and watchlist screening outcomes from licensed third-party KYC providers engaged to assist with compliance obligations;

- Legal obligation — cosino is required by Philippine law — including PAGCOR licensing conditions, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), and the Data Privacy Act — to collect and retain certain personal data. This includes KYC documentation and transaction records;
- Legitimate interests — cosino processes technical data and communications data on the basis of its legitimate interests in securing the platform, detecting and preventing fraud, improving its services, and managing disputes. cosino's legitimate interests do not override your rights where you have objected to such processing;
- Consent — where cosino sends you direct marketing communications or uses non-essential cookies, it relies on your consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting cosino support or using the opt-out mechanism provided in the relevant communication.

cosino implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the cosino platform;

- Access controls limiting staff access to personal data strictly to those with a legitimate need in the performance of their duties;
- Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the cosino platform;

10 Data Retention
cosino retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to any longer retention periods required by applicable Philippine law.
Specifically, cosino applies the following retention periods:
- Active account data — retained for the duration of your cosino account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR licensing requirements and Philippine AML regulations;
- KYC and identity documents — retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of submission or account closure, whichever is later, as required under the Anti-Money Laundering Act;

12 Children & Minors
The cosino platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above, in accordance with PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming in the Philippines. cosino does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
During account registration, cosino collects your date of birth and requires submission of a valid Philippine government-issued ID to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended and all associated balances will be forfeited pending investigation.
If cosino becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 without appropriate parental or guardian consent, it will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe that cosino has inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us immediately at the address provided in Section 14.
cosino actively implements age verification measures and maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward underage gambling. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools and to monitor minors' internet access to prevent access to the cosino platform.
