Free Bunos Privacy Policy — Your Data, Your Rights, Our Commitment

At Free Bunos, your privacy isn't a legal obligation we grudgingly fulfil — it's a core part of how we run this platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what rights you have under Philippine law. Plain language, no surprises.

Plain Language Summary: This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Free Bunos collects when you register and use the platform, how we use it, who we may share it with, and what your rights are under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (Republic Act 10173). We wrote it in clear English so every Filipino player can understand it. If you have questions, contact us at support@freebunos.net — we're happy to explain anything.

1. Who We Are — Free Bunos as Data Controller

Free Bunos operates freebunos.net, a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platform serving players across the Philippines. For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), Free Bunos acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) for the data collected through our platform.

As PIC, Free Bunos is responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is processed. We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) as required by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). You can reach our DPO directly at support@freebunos.net with the subject line "DPO Inquiry."

2. Personal Data We Collect at Free Bunos

Free Bunos collects personal data in two broad categories: data you provide directly, and data generated automatically through your use of the platform. Here is a transparent breakdown of everything we collect:

Data You Provide Directly

  • Identity data: Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, and government-issued ID type and number (collected during KYC verification)
  • Contact data: Mobile phone number, email address, and residential address in the Philippines
  • Account credentials: Username and encrypted password (we never store your plain-text password)
  • Financial data: GCash account number, Maya account, bank account details (BDO, BPI, UnionBank, etc.), and Visa/Mastercard details for payment processing — stored only in encrypted tokenised form
  • Identity verification documents: Scanned or photographed copies of your Philippine government-issued ID (e.g., PhilSys ID, driver's licence, passport, SSS/GSIS ID) submitted for KYC
  • Communications: Messages you send to Free Bunos support via live chat or email

Data Generated Automatically

  • Technical data: IP address, device type, operating system version, browser type, and mobile carrier
  • Usage data: Pages visited, games played, session durations, bet amounts, game outcomes, and navigation patterns within the Free Bunos platform
  • Transaction data: Deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, timestamps, payment method used, and transaction reference numbers
  • Cookie and tracking data: Session cookies, preference cookies, and analytics identifiers (see Section 7 for full cookie details)

3. How Free Bunos Collects Your Data

Free Bunos collects personal data through the following channels:

  • Account registration form: When you create a Free Bunos account, you provide your name, mobile number, email, and date of birth
  • KYC verification process: When completing identity verification, you submit government ID copies and may be asked for a selfie or proof of address
  • Deposit and withdrawal requests: Payment method details are collected or confirmed when you initiate financial transactions
  • Platform use: Gameplay activity, betting history, session data, and device information are logged automatically during your use of Free Bunos
  • Support interactions: When you contact Free Bunos support via live chat or email, the content of those communications is recorded
  • Cookies and similar technologies: Our website uses cookies to maintain session state, remember preferences, and collect anonymous analytics data

Free Bunos does not purchase personal data from third-party data brokers or marketing lists. All data we hold was provided by you directly or generated by your use of our platform.

4. Why Free Bunos Uses Your Personal Data

We use your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes. The table below explains each purpose and what data it involves:

PurposeData UsedRequired?

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), personal data can only be processed when there is a lawful basis. Free Bunos processes your data under the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual necessity: Most data processing is necessary to provide you with the Free Bunos service you signed up for — account management, game access, deposits, and withdrawals
  • Legal obligation: KYC verification, AML monitoring, and PAGCOR regulatory reporting are required by Philippine law and our operating licence
  • Legitimate interests: Fraud detection, platform security, and analytics are processed on the basis of Free Bunos' legitimate interest in operating a safe, functioning platform — provided these interests do not override your privacy rights
  • Consent: Promotional emails and optional analytics are processed only with your explicit consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time without affecting your account access

6. Who Free Bunos Shares Your Data With

Free Bunos does not sell your personal data to any third party. Period. We may share specific data with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes described:

  • Payment processors: GCash (Mynt/Globe Fintech), Maya (PayMaya Philippines), GrabPay, Coins.ph, and banking partners (BDO, BPI, UnionBank) receive only the payment information necessary to process your deposit or withdrawal transaction. They operate under their own privacy policies and are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.
  • KYC / identity verification service providers: Third-party identity verification tools may process your submitted ID documents to confirm your identity. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements with Free Bunos.
  • PAGCOR and regulatory authorities: As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, Free Bunos is required to report certain player and transaction data to PAGCOR and, where required by law, to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
  • Law enforcement and government agencies: Free Bunos will disclose personal data to Philippine law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when legally compelled to do so by valid court order, subpoena, or legal process.
  • IT infrastructure and cloud service providers: Servers, data storage, and platform infrastructure are hosted by providers operating under binding data processing agreements that restrict data use to Free Bunos' purposes.

Important: Free Bunos will never share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, marketing companies, or any party for commercial purposes unrelated to your Free Bunos account.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Free Bunos uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on freebunos.net. Here's exactly what we use and why:

Cookie TypePurposeCan You Opt Out?
Essential / Session Keeps you logged in, maintains your game session, remembers your cart/basket during a session No — required for the platform to function
Preference Remembers language settings, notification preferences, and display options Yes — clearing cookies resets preferences
Analytics (anonymised) Tracks anonymised page views, game load times, and navigation paths to improve the platform Yes — via browser cookie settings
Security / Fraud detection Fingerprints devices to detect suspicious login patterns and multiple-account creation attempts No — required for account security

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will affect your ability to use the Free Bunos platform — in particular, you may not be able to stay logged in or complete transactions.

8. How Free Bunos Protects Your Data

Free Bunos implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Free Bunos platform
  • Encrypted storage for sensitive data including payment tokens, password hashes, and identity documents
  • Access controls: Employee access to personal data is granted on a strict need-to-know basis and is logged for audit purposes
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by third-party security professionals
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all Free Bunos account holders and mandatory for account fund withdrawals
  • Data breach response plan: In the event of a security incident affecting your personal data, Free Bunos will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours as required by RA 10173

While Free Bunos implements robust security measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee 100% security. You also play a role in keeping your account safe — use a strong, unique password and do not share your credentials with anyone.

9. How Long Free Bunos Keeps Your Data

Free Bunos retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected and as required by applicable Philippine law. Our standard retention periods are:

  • Account data (identity, contact information): Retained for the duration of your active account plus 5 years after account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements and AML obligations under RA 9160
  • Transaction records: Retained for 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required by Philippine anti-money laundering regulations
  • KYC documents: Retained for 5 years after the end of the account relationship or last transaction
  • Support communications: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last communication
  • Anonymised analytics data: Retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to any individual
  • Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of consent plus 1 year

After retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. You may request early deletion of certain data under your rights in Section 10 — however, data that Free Bunos is legally required to retain cannot be deleted before its mandatory retention period ends.

  • Right to object: You can object to certain types of data processing, particularly direct marketing. You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time
  • Right to data portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service

11. Children's Privacy

Free Bunos is an online gaming platform intended exclusively for adults aged 21 years and above, as required by PAGCOR regulations for Philippine online gaming operations. Free Bunos does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under 21 years of age.

If you believe a minor has registered at Free Bunos, please contact us immediately at support@freebunos.net. We will investigate and, if confirmed, immediately close the account and delete all associated personal data to the extent not required for regulatory retention.

Age Verification: Free Bunos conducts mandatory age verification as part of the KYC process. Accounts that cannot verify the player is aged 21 or over will be suspended pending verification or permanently closed.

12. Third-Party Links

The Free Bunos platform does not contain links to third-party websites as a matter of policy. Our navigation, footer, and in-platform links point exclusively to other pages within freebunos.net.

If you navigate away from Free Bunos to any external site — for example by typing a URL into your browser or following a link in a communication not sent by Free Bunos — this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Free Bunos is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website or service.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Free Bunos may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, new services, or updates to Philippine privacy law. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
  • Send an email notification to all registered Free Bunos accounts at least 7 days before the changes take effect
  • Display a prominent in-platform notice for the first 14 days after any material change takes effect

Minor changes (such as clarifications of existing practices or corrections of typographical errors) may be made without advance notice. Your continued use of the Free Bunos platform after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

We recommend bookmarking this page and reviewing it periodically — especially before making significant deposits or sharing sensitive information with the platform.
