goperya Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data goperya collects from Filipino players, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and what rights you have under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Our Privacy Principles
Six commitments that underpin how goperya handles every piece of information you share with us.
Purpose Limitation
goperya collects only the data it genuinely needs to operate the platform, verify identities, process payments, and comply with Philippine law. We do not harvest data for unrelated purposes or sell it to third-party marketers.
Security First
All data transmitted to and from goperya is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS. Stored personal data is protected by access controls, encrypted at rest, and subject to regular security audits to guard against unauthorized access.
Transparency
We tell you what we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it — in plain language. This Privacy Policy is written to be genuinely readable, not to obscure our practices behind impenetrable legal text.
Your Control
Filipino players have real rights over their data under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. goperya provides accessible channels for you to access, correct, object to, or request deletion of your personal data held by us.
Data Minimization
Personal data is retained only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Data no longer needed is securely deleted or anonymized.
Legal Compliance
goperya operates in full compliance with the Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and applicable PAGCOR data governance requirements governing online gaming operators in the Philippines.

01 About This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy (hereinafter "the Policy") is issued by goperya (hereinafter "goperya," "we," "us," or "the Platform") and applies to all personal data collected, processed, stored, transferred, or otherwise used in connection with the goperya website accessible at goperya.vu, including all pages, features, games, promotions, and support services offered therein.
This Policy is addressed to all individuals who interact with goperya in any capacity — registered members, prospective members who browse the site without completing registration, individuals who contact our customer support team, and any other natural persons whose personal data goperya processes (collectively, "Data Subjects" or "you").

02 Personal Data We Collect
goperya collects personal data through several channels — directly from you when you register, deposit, play, or contact support; automatically through your use of the platform; and, in limited circumstances, from third-party sources such as payment providers and identity verification services.

- Financial data: GCash account numbers, PayMaya account details, BPI/BDO/Metrobank account references, and transaction records associated with deposits and withdrawals. We do not store full card numbers; card payments are tokenized by the payment provider.

- Usage data: Pages visited, games played, session start and end times, bet history, game round identifiers, click-stream data, and feature interaction logs.
- Cookie and tracking data: Data collected through cookies, local storage, and similar technologies as described in Section 7 of this Policy.
- Geolocation data: Approximate location derived from your IP address, used to enforce geographic eligibility requirements and comply with PAGCOR regulations restricting the platform to Filipino players.
2.3 Data from Third Parties
goperya may receive personal data about you from third-party sources, including identity verification service providers engaged to perform KYC checks, payment processors who share transaction status and fraud signals, and PAGCOR or other regulatory bodies where information sharing is required by law or regulation.
03 How We Use Your Personal Data
goperya uses your personal data for the following specific purposes:
- Account creation and management: To register your account, verify your identity under KYC obligations, and maintain your account throughout your membership.

- Legal and regulatory compliance: To fulfill goperya's obligations under PAGCOR regulations, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and other applicable Philippine laws — including filing required reports with PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
- Fraud prevention and security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account access, bonus abuse, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct listed in our Terms & Conditions.

- Platform improvement: To analyze aggregated usage data, identify technical issues, and inform product development decisions that enhance the goperya experience for Filipino players.
04 Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules, goperya relies on the following legal bases when processing your personal data:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfill the contract between you and goperya — including account registration, KYC verification, payment processing, and gameplay — is carried out because it is necessary to perform that contract.

- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and internal analytics is carried out on the basis of goperya's legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms as a Data Subject.
- Consent: Processing for direct marketing communications and the use of non-essential cookies is carried out only where you have given freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
05 Sharing & Disclosure of Your Data
goperya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. We share your personal data only in the circumstances described below, and only to the minimum extent necessary for the stated purpose.
5.1 Service Providers
goperya engages carefully vetted third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements. These include: identity verification and KYC providers; payment processing companies (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and card scheme processors); cloud hosting and infrastructure providers; customer support software vendors; and fraud detection and cybersecurity services. These providers are permitted to use your data only for the specific services they provide to goperya and are prohibited from using it for their own independent purposes.
5.2 Regulatory and Legal Disclosures
goperya is required by Philippine law to share certain player data with regulatory and law enforcement authorities, including PAGCOR (pursuant to our operating obligations), the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) where transactions trigger mandatory reporting thresholds under AMLA, and Philippine law enforcement agencies where we receive a lawful order or warrant requiring disclosure.
Note: goperya will never proactively share your personal data with any government body beyond what is strictly required by law. Any disclosure we make to regulatory authorities is logged and, where legally permitted, we will notify you of such a disclosure.
5.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or corporate restructuring involving goperya, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of the transaction, subject to the successor entity providing equivalent privacy protections. We will notify affected Data Subjects of any such transfer through the platform or by email prior to the transfer occurring, where feasible.
5.4 No Cross-Border Transfers Without Safeguards
Where goperya needs to transfer your personal data outside the Philippines — for example, to a cloud infrastructure provider with servers in another country — we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by the National Privacy Commission's rules on cross-border data transfers, including data transfer agreements that bind the recipient to standards equivalent to those under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
06 Data Retention
goperya retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and regulation. The following general retention periods apply:
- Active account data: Retained for the full duration of your membership with goperya and for a period of five (5) years following permanent account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements.
- KYC and identity documents: Retained for five (5) years following the end of the business relationship, as required under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
- Transaction records: Retained for five (5) years from the date of each transaction, consistent with AMLA and PAGCOR obligations.
- Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction, to enable dispute resolution and service quality review.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your membership and for three (3) years following the withdrawal of consent or account closure, as evidence of consent management.
- Technical and usage logs: Retained for twelve (12) months on a rolling basis, after which they are deleted or fully anonymized.
At the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted using industry-standard data destruction methods, or anonymized such that it can no longer be attributed to an identifiable individual.

09 Security Measures
goperya implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the goperya platform.
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and financial records, using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
- Role-based access controls ensuring that goperya staff can access personal data only to the extent necessary for their specific job functions.

- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent cybersecurity specialists.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, goperya will notify the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected Data Subjects without undue delay where required by law.
Your Role in Security: No security system is impenetrable. You can significantly reduce your personal risk by using a strong, unique password for your goperya account, enabling two-factor authentication in your account settings, and never sharing your login credentials with any third party.

goperya is strictly an adult platform intended for individuals aged 21 years and above, consistent with Philippine gambling age restrictions enforced by PAGCOR. goperya does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data of individuals under the age of 21.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete the personal data collected, and — where applicable — report the incident in accordance with our obligations to PAGCOR. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has provided personal data to goperya, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 12.
