4. How We Collect Your Data
King Laro collects personal data through the following methods:
- Direct submission: Information you provide when registering, completing KYC verification, filling in deposit or withdrawal forms, or contacting support.
- Automated collection: Technical data collected automatically during platform use, including IP address, device identifiers, browser type, pages visited, and session duration via server logs and analytics tools.

- Cookies and similar technologies: Data collected through cookies placed on your browser during platform visits. See Section 10 for the full cookies policy.
- Third-party identity verification services: During KYC checks, King Laro may use licensed identity verification providers to validate government-issued ID documents. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by confidentiality agreements with King Laro.
5. How King Laro Uses Your Data
King Laro uses your personal data for the following purposes:
- Account creation and management: Creating your King Laro account, verifying your identity, and maintaining your account in good standing.
- Transaction processing: Processing deposits and withdrawals in Philippine peso via your chosen payment method, and maintaining accurate financial records.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: Fulfilling Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and gaming regulation obligations under Philippine law.
- Platform security: Detecting, preventing, and investigating fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats affecting King Laro players.
- Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and providing technical assistance.

- Platform improvement: Analyzing aggregate usage patterns to improve game selection, interface design, and overall platform performance. This analysis uses anonymized or pseudonymized data where possible.
- Marketing communications: Sending promotional offers, bonus notifications, and relevant updates to your registered contact details — but only if you have opted in or have an existing account relationship with King Laro. You can opt out at any time.
6. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, King Laro processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to perform the King Laro service you've agreed to, including account management, game delivery, and payment processing.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine gaming regulations, anti-money laundering laws, tax reporting obligations, and National Privacy Commission requirements.
- Legitimate interests: Processing conducted for King Laro's legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, where these interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
- Consent: Processing based on your specific, freely given, and informed consent — primarily for marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
8. Data Retention
King Laro retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Specific retention periods:
- Active accounts: Personal and financial data is retained for the duration of your account's active status plus a minimum of five (5) years after closure, as required by Philippine AML and gaming regulations.
- KYC documents: Identity verification documents are retained for at least five (5) years after account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later.
- Transaction records: Financial transaction logs are retained for a minimum of five (5) years as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
- Support communications: Live chat transcripts and support emails are retained for three (3) years unless a longer period is required for ongoing dispute resolution.
- Marketing preferences and opt-out records: Retained indefinitely to ensure we honor your communication preferences.
- Usage and analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized after 24 months; individual-level usage logs are retained for up to 12 months.
When personal data is no longer needed and no legal retention obligation applies, King Laro securely destroys or anonymizes it in accordance with our data disposal procedures.
9. Security Measures
King Laro implements technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the risk level associated with the personal data we process. These include:
- Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and King Laro servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Sensitive data at rest is also encrypted.
- Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Staff with access to player data undergo background checks and privacy training.
- Password security: Player passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes — not in plain text. King Laro staff cannot view your password.
- Fraud detection systems: Automated systems monitor for suspicious login attempts, unusual transaction patterns, and other indicators of unauthorized account access.
- Regular security reviews: King Laro conducts periodic security assessments and vulnerability testing to identify and address potential weaknesses.
- Breach response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, King Laro will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours and inform affected players as soon as practicable.
While King Laro takes significant precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and using strong, unique passwords.

Right to Rectification
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data. For most contact details, you can update these directly in your account settings.

12. Minors
King Laro's platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. Our registration process includes an age declaration and KYC verification to enforce this requirement.
If King Laro becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a minor without appropriate consent, we will immediately delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on King Laro, please contact our support team immediately with the relevant details so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
King Laro reviews this Privacy Policy periodically and may update it to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform services. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the current version was published.
For material changes — those that significantly affect how your data is used or your rights as a data subject — King Laro will notify registered players via email and an in-platform notice at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Minor or administrative updates (such as correcting typos or clarifying existing language without changing meaning) may be made without advance notice.
Your continued use of King Laro after the effective date of any updated policy constitutes your acknowledgment of those changes. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you have the right to close your account and request data deletion.
