Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information apk 18 collects from players in the Philippines, how we use it, and the rights you have over your own data. By using our platform, you agree to the practices described on this page. If you have questions, our FAQ page is a good place to start.
Last updated: January 2025
1. Personal Information You Provide
When you register for an account on apk 18, we collect the personal information you submit through the registration form, including your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number. We require this information to verify your identity, confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old as required under Philippine law, and to set up your account correctly. If you contact our support team, we may also collect the content of your messages and any additional details you choose to share with us. When you make a deposit or withdrawal, we collect transaction-related information such as your GCash or Maya account reference, transaction amount, and timestamp. All information you provide must be accurate and up to date; providing false information is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and may result in account suspension. We do not collect more personal information than is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. You may update your personal details at any time by accessing your account settings or by contacting our support team.
2. Technical and Usage Data
When you access the apk 18 platform, our systems automatically collect certain technical information about your device and browsing activity. This includes your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, the pages you visit on our platform, the time and duration of your visits, and the links you click. We use this data to monitor platform performance, detect and prevent fraudulent activity, improve the user experience, and ensure the platform functions correctly across different devices and network conditions. This technical data is collected through standard server logs and similar technologies and is not used to identify you personally unless it is combined with your account information in the context of a security investigation. We may also collect information about your approximate geographic location based on your IP address to ensure compliance with our Philippines-only service area. Usage data is retained for a limited period and is then anonymised or deleted in accordance with our internal data retention schedule. If you use our platform on a mobile device, we may also collect information about your mobile network and device identifiers to optimise your experience.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
apk 18 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in between sessions, remember your preferences, and understand how players interact with different parts of the platform. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. We use session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period to remember your preferences on future visits. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, but please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the platform, including your ability to stay logged in. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your activity across other websites. The information collected through cookies is used solely to improve your experience on the apk 18 platform and to support our security and fraud prevention measures. If you continue to use our platform without changing your cookie settings, we will assume that you are happy to receive all cookies from apk 18.
4. Platform Operations and Account Management
The personal information you provide is used primarily to create and manage your apk 18 account, process your deposits and withdrawals, and deliver the entertainment services you have signed up for. We use your contact details to send you important account-related communications, such as registration confirmations, transaction receipts, and security alerts. We do not use your personal information to send unsolicited marketing messages unless you have explicitly opted in to receive promotional communications from us. Your date of birth is used to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement and will not be used for any other purpose without your consent. We may use your account activity data to personalise your experience on the platform, such as displaying content relevant to the games you play most frequently. All processing of your personal data is carried out on a lawful basis, either because it is necessary to perform our contract with you, because we have a legitimate interest in operating a secure and compliant platform, or because you have given us your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting our support team, though this may affect your ability to use certain features of the platform.
5. Security, Fraud Prevention, and Legal Compliance
We use the information we collect to protect the integrity of the apk 18 platform and to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, underage access, and other prohibited conduct. This may involve analysing your account activity, transaction history, and device information to identify unusual patterns that could indicate a security risk. Where we are required to do so by Philippine law or by a lawful order from a competent authority, we may disclose your personal information to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or other government entities. We will always seek to limit such disclosures to the minimum information necessary to comply with the legal obligation. We also use your information to enforce our Terms and Conditions and to resolve disputes that may arise in connection with your use of the platform. Our security team may retain records of investigations for a period determined by our legal obligations, even after your account has been closed. If you believe that your account has been accessed without your authorisation, please contact our support team immediately so that we can take appropriate action to protect your data.
6. Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
apk 18 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors like GCash and Maya, identity verification providers, and technology infrastructure partners. These third parties are contractually required to handle your data securely and to use it only for the specific purposes for which it was shared. We may also share aggregated, anonymised data with analytics partners to help us understand platform usage trends, but this data cannot be used to identify you individually. If apk 18 undergoes a business restructuring, merger, or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the new entity as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will notify you of any material changes to how your data is shared as a result of such a transaction. Outside of the circumstances described above, we will not share your personal information with any third party without your explicit consent.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that apk 18 holds about you at any time. We will respond to verified access requests within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable Philippine data privacy law. To submit a request, please contact our support team with your registered account details so we can verify your identity before releasing any information.
If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. You can update basic account details directly through your account settings, or contact our support team for assistance with information that cannot be changed through the platform interface. Keeping your information accurate helps us provide you with a better and more secure experience.
You may request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Please note that we may be required to retain certain information for legal, regulatory, or fraud prevention purposes even after you close your account. We will inform you of any data we are legally obliged to retain at the time of your request.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for processing. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests. You may also object to receiving any promotional communications from us at any time by updating your preferences or contacting support.
7. Data Retention and Contact
apk 18 retains your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our internal data retention policy. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any of your data rights, or want to raise a concern about how your information has been handled, please contact our support team using the email address listed in the footer of this page. We are committed to responding to all privacy-related enquiries promptly and transparently. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable Philippine law; the effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of the apk 18 platform after any updates to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
