Data Privacy & Protection

KingLaro Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data KingLaro collects from Filipino players, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your own information. We've written this in plain language so it's actually useful to read.

Last updated: January 2025

1. Who We Are

KingLaro ("we," "us," or "the Platform") operates the online gaming and sports betting website at kinglaro.asia. This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the KingLaro website, mobile experience, and related services — including registered members, visitors who browse without registering, and any person who interacts with KingLaro's customer support channels.

KingLaro serves the Philippine market and processes personal data in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and applicable National Privacy Commission (NPC) issuances. KingLaro is committed to upholding the privacy rights of every Filipino player who uses our platform.

Who this applies to: This Privacy Policy covers all data collected from individuals interacting with kinglaro.asia regardless of location. Filipino players are specifically protected by the rights outlined under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and may exercise those rights as described in Section 11 of this policy.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

KingLaro collects only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. We do not collect data speculatively or without a clear reason. The categories of data we collect from Filipino players include:

2.1 Registration Data

When you create a KingLaro account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, mobile number, email address (if provided), and your chosen username and password (stored in encrypted form). This is the minimum information needed to create and secure your account.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with anti-money laundering regulations and our platform's age verification requirements, KingLaro may request government-issued identification documents. Accepted Philippine IDs include SSS card, PhilHealth ID, Passport, UMID, Driver's License, and Voter's ID. We may also request a selfie photograph and a recent proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) to complete the verification process. These documents are processed securely and not stored beyond the period required by law.

2.3 Financial Data

KingLaro collects transaction data including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, payment method identifiers (such as the GCash or Maya account number associated with your transactions), and bet history. We do not store full credit or debit card numbers — card transactions are processed through certified payment gateways that handle sensitive financial credentials on our behalf.

2.4 Gaming Activity Data

We maintain records of your gaming and betting activity on KingLaro — games played, wager amounts, outcomes, session durations, and responsible gaming settings you have applied to your account. This data is used for account management, dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, and to improve the KingLaro platform.

2.5 Device and Technical Data

When you access KingLaro, our systems automatically collect certain technical information: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and time zone. This information is used for fraud prevention, platform optimisation, and security monitoring.

2.6 Communications Data

If you contact KingLaro support via live chat, email, or any other channel, we retain records of those communications. This includes chat transcripts, email threads, and any information you voluntarily share during support interactions. These records are used to resolve your enquiry, train our support team, and maintain a history of your account interactions.

2.7 Voluntary Preference Data

If you participate in surveys, provide feedback, or set preferences within your KingLaro account (such as responsible gaming limits or marketing communication preferences), we store those preferences and use them to personalise your experience and respect your stated choices.

Data Category Examples Required?
Registration Name, DOB, mobile number, username Yes — to create account
KYC / Identity Government ID, selfie, proof of address Yes — for withdrawals & compliance
Financial GCash number, transaction history Yes — for payments
Gaming Activity Bets placed, game sessions, outcomes Yes — for account records
Device / Technical IP address, browser, OS, device type Automatic — for security
Communications Support chat transcripts, emails When you contact us
Preferences Marketing opt-ins, deposit limits Optional — your choice

3. How We Collect Your Data

KingLaro collects personal data through the following channels:

  • Directly from you — when you register, complete KYC, make a deposit, place a bet, contact support, or update your account settings
  • Automatically — through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools when you browse or use the KingLaro website
  • From third-party service providers — such as payment processors (GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI), KYC verification providers, and fraud detection services, who may share relevant data with us in the course of processing your transactions
  • From publicly available sources — in limited circumstances where required for identity verification or fraud investigation, we may cross-reference publicly available data

4. Why We Use Your Personal Data

KingLaro uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

  • Account management — creating, maintaining, and securing your KingLaro member account
  • Identity and age verification — confirming that you meet the 21+ age requirement and that your identity matches your registration details
  • Processing payments — handling deposits, withdrawals, and refunds through your chosen payment method
  • Providing gaming and betting services — operating the games, sports betting markets, and VIP Club features that you use on KingLaro
  • Regulatory and legal compliance — fulfilling obligations under the Data Privacy Act, anti-money laundering laws, and applicable gaming regulations
  • Fraud and security monitoring — detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, and gaming integrity violations
  • Customer support — responding to your enquiries, resolving disputes, and maintaining records of support interactions
  • Responsible gaming — managing the responsible gaming tools you activate and monitoring for signs of problem gaming behaviour where required by our operating obligations
  • Platform improvement — using aggregated, anonymised analytics data to understand how Filipino players use KingLaro and to improve the platform experience
  • Marketing communications — sending you information about KingLaro promotions, bonuses, and new features, where you have consented to receive these communications

Marketing Communications: KingLaro will only send you promotional messages if you have opted in to receive them. You can update your marketing preferences at any time from your account settings or by contacting support. Opting out of marketing does not affect your access to any KingLaro services.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, KingLaro must have a lawful basis for collecting and processing your personal data. The legal bases we rely on are:

  • Contract performance — processing necessary to operate your KingLaro account and provide the services you signed up for (account management, gaming, payments)
  • Legal obligation — processing required to comply with Philippine laws including anti-money laundering regulations, gaming regulatory requirements, and tax obligations
  • Legitimate interests — fraud prevention, platform security, and improving KingLaro's services, where these interests do not override your privacy rights
  • Consent — marketing communications and certain optional data collection, which you can withdraw at any time

6. Who We Share Your Data With

KingLaro does not sell your personal data. We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Data is shared only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Payment Processors

To process your deposits and withdrawals, KingLaro shares relevant transaction data with your chosen payment provider — GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, or your card issuer. These providers act under their own privacy policies and security standards and receive only the data needed to complete your transaction.

6.2 KYC and Identity Verification Providers

KingLaro works with specialist KYC service providers to assist with identity and age verification. These providers process your submitted documents under strict confidentiality agreements and applicable data privacy regulations.

6.3 Game and Technology Providers

Third-party game providers (such as JILI) may receive limited technical data about your gaming sessions to operate their game services correctly. They do not receive your full personal profile, financial data, or KYC documents.

6.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

KingLaro may be required by law to disclose personal data to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required by applicable law and in accordance with proper legal process.

6.5 Fraud Prevention Services

KingLaro uses specialist fraud detection and prevention services. These services may receive certain technical data (IP address, device fingerprint, transaction patterns) to assess fraud risk. They do not use this data for any purpose other than fraud assessment on behalf of KingLaro.

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

KingLaro retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable law. Specific retention periods include:

  • Active account data — retained for the lifetime of your KingLaro account and for a period after account closure as required by regulatory obligations
  • KYC documents — retained for a minimum of five years after account closure, as required under anti-money laundering regulations
  • Financial transaction records — retained for a minimum of five years in accordance with Philippine financial record-keeping requirements
  • Support communications — retained for three years from the date of the communication unless relevant to an ongoing dispute or legal proceeding
  • Marketing consent records — retained for the duration of your membership plus two years to evidence consent where required
  • Technical/log data — typically retained for 90 days unless needed for fraud investigation or security incident response

When data is no longer needed and retention obligations have been met, KingLaro securely deletes or anonymises the data so it can no longer be associated with any individual.

8. Security Measures

KingLaro takes the security of your personal data seriously. We maintain technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption — all data transmitted between your device and kinglaro.asia is encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols
  • Encrypted password storage — passwords are never stored in plain text; they are hashed using a strong cryptographic algorithm before storage
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) — available to all KingLaro members as an optional additional layer of login security
  • Access controls — KingLaro staff can only access personal data on a need-to-know basis, and access is logged and audited
  • Fraud and intrusion monitoring — continuous automated monitoring of platform activity for signs of unauthorised access or unusual behaviour
  • Regular security reviews — the KingLaro platform undergoes periodic security assessments and vulnerability testing

Your role in security: No platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important part in keeping your KingLaro account safe — use a strong, unique password, never share your login details, and enable two-factor authentication. If you notice anything suspicious with your account, contact KingLaro support immediately via live chat.

9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

KingLaro uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember your preferences, analyse usage patterns, and deliver relevant content. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies do not give KingLaro access to your device beyond the information they store.

9.1 Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies — necessary for the KingLaro website to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against fraud. These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.
  • Functional cookies — remember your preferences such as language settings, display options, and responsible gaming settings you have applied.
  • Analytics cookies — help KingLaro understand how members navigate and use the platform, using aggregated and anonymised data. No individually identifiable information is used in analytics reporting.
  • Marketing cookies — used to track whether you arrived at KingLaro through a referral or marketing channel. These are only set with your consent.

9.2 Managing Cookies

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through the browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use the KingLaro platform normally. You can update your marketing communication preferences and cookie consent at any time through your KingLaro account settings.

10. Minors

KingLaro is strictly for players aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal data to KingLaro, we will take immediate steps to close the account and delete the associated data. If you believe a minor has registered on KingLaro, please contact us immediately at privacy@kinglaro.asia.

11. Your Privacy Rights as a Filipino Player

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by KingLaro. You can exercise any of these rights by contacting us at privacy@kinglaro.asia or through the live chat support channel.

Right to Access

You can request a copy of the personal data KingLaro holds about you, including what data we have, where it came from, and how we use it.

Right to Correction

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it promptly.

Right to Erasure

Under certain conditions, you can request that KingLaro delete your personal data — for example, where it is no longer necessary for the original purpose and no legal retention obligation applies.

Right to Object

You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You can also object to other processing where our stated legitimate interest does not override your rights.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used format so that you can transfer it to another service provider.

Right to Restriction

In certain circumstances, you can request that KingLaro restrict the processing of your data — for example, while a correction request is being verified.

Right to Be Informed of a Breach

If a data breach affects your personal data and poses a real risk of harm, KingLaro will notify you and the National Privacy Commission without undue delay.

Right to Complain to the NPC

If you believe KingLaro has processed your data in violation of the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

How to exercise your rights: Submit your request to privacy@kinglaro.asia with your full name, account username, and a description of your request. We will acknowledge your request within 3 business days and respond in full within 15 business days. We may request a copy of your ID to verify your identity before processing the request.

12. International Data Transfers

KingLaro may use service providers — including KYC platforms, fraud detection services, and cloud infrastructure — that operate servers outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, KingLaro ensures appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data at a level equivalent to Philippine data privacy standards. This includes contractual data processing agreements with all third-party processors.

KingLaro will not transfer your data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without your explicit consent or applicable legal authority to do so.

13. Third-Party Links

The KingLaro website does not contain links to third-party websites beyond those explicitly listed in the navigation structure. However, payment gateway interfaces (such as the GCash or Maya payment pages) that open during a transaction are operated by those respective providers under their own privacy policies. KingLaro is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external providers.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

KingLaro reviews and updates this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable regulations. When significant changes are made, we will notify active members via email or a prominent notice on the KingLaro website at least 7 days before the change takes effect.

The date at the top of this Policy reflects when it was last updated. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of KingLaro after a Policy update constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms.
