1. Introduction

kuya777 is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every Filipino player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy has been prepared in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the kuya777 website at kuya777.bid, our mobile platform, customer support channels, and any other services operated by kuya777.
