kbs99 Privacy Policy
At kbs99, we understand that your personal data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect when you use the kbs99 platform, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have as a Filipino player under Philippine data privacy law.
Overview
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how kbs99 ("we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects the personal information of individuals ("you", "your", "Player") who access or use the kbs99 online gaming platform at kbs99.cam.
kbs99 is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all Filipino players on the platform. We operate in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines (the "DPA"), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission ("NPC"). Where applicable, we also observe the data protection principles recognised by the relevant gaming regulations administered by PAGCOR.
By registering for a kbs99 account and using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection, use, and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use the kbs99 platform.
This Policy applies to all kbs99 players in the Philippines, including players accessing the platform from Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and all other Philippine cities and provinces. kbs99 does not market its services to players outside the Philippines.
Data Controller
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Policy, kbs99 acts as the personal information controller ("PIC") in respect of the personal data it collects from Players. As PIC, kbs99 determines the purposes for which and the means by which personal data is processed on the kbs99 platform.
kbs99 has designated a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") responsible for overseeing data protection matters and ensuring the platform's compliance with the DPA and applicable NPC issuances. The DPO is the primary point of contact for all data privacy-related enquiries, requests, and complaints from Players.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to the processing of your personal data by kbs99, you may contact the Data Protection Officer at the address set out in Section 15 of this Policy.

These providers may receive technical session data necessary to deliver games but do not receive personally identifiable information about individual Players.

Anonymised and aggregated data from which individual identity cannot be reconstructed may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.
Security Measures
kbs99 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and kbs99's servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3. Stored personal data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Passwords are stored using industry-standard one-way cryptographic hashing and are never stored in plain text.
- Access Controls: Access to systems containing personal data is restricted to kbs99 personnel who require access for their authorised job functions. All internal access is controlled through role-based access permissions, and access logs are maintained and audited regularly.
- Two-Factor Authentication: kbs99 player accounts are protected by OTP-based two-factor authentication for high-risk actions including withdrawals, password changes, and new device login, reducing the risk of unauthorised account access.
- Fraud Monitoring: kbs99 operates continuous automated monitoring systems that detect and flag unusual account activity, suspicious login patterns, and anomalous transaction behaviour for investigation.
- Data Minimisation: kbs99 collects only the minimum personal data required for each processing purpose and ensures that data access within the organisation is limited to the specific data sets required for each team's function.
- Incident Response: kbs99 maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in risks to your rights and freedoms, kbs99 will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected Players in accordance with the timeframes required under the DPA.
While kbs99 implements robust security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords for their kbs99 accounts, enable two-factor authentication, and report any suspected unauthorised access to their account to kbs99 support immediately.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
kbs99 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the kbs99 platform to support platform functionality, improve user experience, and maintain account security. The types of cookies used by kbs99 are described below:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the kbs99 platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session authentication cookies that maintain your logged-in state during an active kbs99 session, and security cookies that support fraud prevention measures. No personal data is shared with third parties through strictly necessary cookies.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your platform preferences — such as your preferred language, game lobby display settings, and responsible gaming reminder frequency — and enable personalised features. Functional cookies are set by kbs99 and are not shared with third parties.
- Analytical Cookies: kbs99 uses anonymised analytical data to understand how Players interact with the platform, which game categories are most popular, and where users experience friction in payment flows. Analytical data is processed in aggregated, non-identifiable form and is used solely for internal platform improvement purposes.
- Security Cookies: Device fingerprinting and session token cookies are used to detect and prevent unauthorised access, multi-account creation, and automated bot activity on the kbs99 platform.
You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies.

Your Data Privacy Rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by kbs99. These rights may be exercised by submitting a written request to the kbs99 Data Protection Officer at the contact details set out in Section 15.
kbs99 will respond to data privacy rights requests within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. Where the complexity of the request requires additional time, kbs99 will notify you within the initial 15-day period and provide an updated response timeline not exceeding an additional thirty (30) business days.
kbs99 may request proof of identity before processing a data privacy rights request to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to or modified by an unauthorised third party.
Minors and Under-21 Players
The kbs99 platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 years and above in compliance with Philippine gaming law and PAGCOR regulations. kbs99 does not knowingly collect, use, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If kbs99 discovers or is informed that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, it will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete the associated personal data to the extent not required to be retained by applicable regulatory obligations, and report the matter to the relevant regulatory authority where required.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 21 in your care may have registered a kbs99 account, please contact the kbs99 Data Protection Officer at [email protected] immediately with details of the account in question.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Some of the third-party service providers used by kbs99 — including game software providers and fraud prevention services — may process personal data on servers located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to a third party located outside the Philippines, kbs99 ensures that:
- The recipient country provides an adequate level of data protection as determined by the National Privacy Commission; or
- Appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual data processing agreements with the recipient that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those applicable under Philippine law; or
- The transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between kbs99 and the Player (e.g., processing a payment through an international payment provider).
kbs99 does not transfer personal data internationally for its own commercial benefit or share Philippine player data with unrelated overseas entities. All cross-border data flows are limited to what is strictly necessary for the technical delivery of the kbs99 platform and its payment infrastructure.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
kbs99 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable Philippine law, NPC issuances, PAGCOR regulations, or kbs99's data processing practices.
For material changes — including changes to the categories of data collected, the purposes for which data is used, or the third parties with whom data is shared — kbs99 will provide advance notice to Players via their registered email address or through a prominent in-platform notification at least seven (7) days before the change takes effect.
For non-material changes — such as corrections of typographical errors, clarifications of existing language, or updates to contact information — the updated Policy will be published on this page with an updated effective date, and Players will not receive individual notification.
The current version of this Privacy Policy is always accessible at kbs99.cam/privacy-policy. The effective date displayed at the top of this page indicates when the current version entered into force.
