At ArenaPlud, we take privacy seriously. When you sign up, deposit, play, and interact with our platform, you're trusting us with personal information — and we don't take that lightly. This Privacy Policy sets out exactly what data ArenaPlud collects from members in the Philippines, how that data is used, who it may be shared with, and what controls you have over your own information.
ArenaPlud operates in compliance with the Republic Act 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and the regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). This policy is the single authoritative document governing how ArenaPlud handles your personal data. If any other ArenaPlud communication or document conflicts with this policy, this policy governs.
Your Consent: By creating an ArenaPlud account and using our platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, subject to the limitations described in Section 9.
Privacy at ArenaPlud — At a Glance
Six core principles that define how ArenaPlud approaches your personal data.
Collect Only What's Needed
ArenaPlud collects the minimum personal data necessary to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with Philippine law. We don't gather data for the sake of it.
Encrypted and Secured
All personal and financial data is stored using bank-grade encryption. Data in transit is protected by TLS. Access to member data is strictly limited to authorized personnel.
Never Sold to Third Parties
ArenaPlud does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes — ever.
Transparent Processing
Every processing activity described in this policy has a clear, documented legal basis under Philippine law. We don't process your data for undisclosed purposes.
Your Rights Are Real
As a Filipino player on ArenaPlud, you have legally enforceable rights over your data — access, correction, deletion, portability, and more. We honor every request promptly.
Clear Retention Limits
ArenaPlud retains personal data only for as long as legally required or as needed to maintain your account. Data is securely deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.
1Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to ArenaPlud ("we," "us," "the Platform") and all personal data collected from members, visitors, and users of the ArenaPlud website and mobile interface atrenaplud.best. ArenaPlud is the data controller for personal data processed under this policy, meaning we determine the purposes and means by which your data is processed.
This policy is effective as of the date shown above and supersedes all previous ArenaPlud privacy notices. It applies regardless of how you access ArenaPlud — via desktop browser, mobile browser, or any future applications. If you are accessing ArenaPlud on behalf of another person, you represent that you have their authorization to do so and that they have been informed of this policy.
2Data We Collect
ArenaPlud collects personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, information generated by your activity on the platform, and information received from third-party services. Here is a breakdown of the specific data categories involved:
| Data Category | Specific Information | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, government ID details, selfie/photo for KYC | Provided by you |
| Contact Data | Mobile number, email address, residential address | Provided by you |
| Account Data | Username, password hash, account preferences security questions | Provided by you |
| Financial Data | GCash/Maya wallet reference, bank account details (name and last digits only), transaction history | Provided by you & payment processors |
| Gaming Data | Bets placed, games played, session duration, win/loss records, responsible gaming tool settings | Generated by platform activity |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, geolocation (city level) | Collected automatically |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support emails, feedback forms | Provided by you |
| Marketing Preferences | Opt-in/opt-out status for promotional emails, SMS, and push notifications | Provided by you |
Financial Data Note: ArenaPlud does not store full bank account numbers or complete GCash wallet IDs on our servers. Payment processing is handled by certified payment gateways. ArenaPlud only retains transaction reference numbers and the last four digits of relevant account identifiers for reconciliation and dispute resolution purposes.
3How We Use Your Data
ArenaPlud uses the personal data we collect for specific, documented purposes. We do not use your data for purposes beyond those listed below without first seeking your consent or establishing a new legal basis for processing.
- To create, verify, and maintain your ArenaPlud member account
- To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions on your account
- To verify your identity and age as required by our gaming license and Philippine law (KYC)
- To deliver the games, services, and features you access on ArenaPlud
- To communicate with you about your account, transactions, and support requests
- To send promotional communications where you have consented to receive them
- To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud money laundering, and other prohibited conduct

4Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ArenaPlud must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. The legal bases we rely on are as follows:
- Contract performance: Processing necessary to fulfill the service agreement between you and ArenaPlud — including account management, game delivery, and transaction processing.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine laws — including anti-money laundering regulations, gaming license conditions, tax reporting, and NPC requirements.
- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, service improvement, and responsible gaming monitoring, where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
- Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where you have given explicit, informed consent that you can withdraw at any time.
5Sharing Your Data
ArenaPlud does not sell your personal data. We do not rent or trade it. However, to deliver our services effectively and comply with legal obligations, we share data with specific categories of third parties under appropriate data protection agreements:
- Payment processors: GCash, Maya, and banking partners receive only the transaction data necessary to process deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and applicable Philippine financial regulations.
- KYC and identity verification providers: Third-party identity verification services receive your identity documents and photographs solely to verify your age and identity as required by our gaming license.
- Game technology providers: Live dealer game studios and software providers may process gaming session data to deliver game outcomes and stream live content to your device.
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: ArenaPlud will disclose personal data to PAGCOR, the NPC, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or other Philippine authorities when required by law or valid legal order.
- IT and security service providers: Cloud hosting, cybersecurity, and infrastructure partners may process technical data in the course of providing services to ArenaPlud, under strict confidentiality and data processing agreements.
Cross-Border Transfers: Some of ArenaPlud's service providers may be located outside the Philippines. When data is transferred internationally, ArenaPlud ensures that adequate data protection safeguards are in place as required under Philippine data privacy regulations, including contractual data protection clauses where applicable.

- Our systems are monitored 24/7 for suspicious activity and potential breaches
- In the event of a data breach, ArenaPlud will notify affected members and the NPC within the timeframes required by Philippine law
Your Role in Security: ArenaPlud's security measures are most effective when members also protect their own accounts. Use a strong, unique password for ArenaPlud. Enable two-factor authentication if offered. Never share your login credentials. If you notice any suspicious activity on your account, contact ArenaPlud support immediately.
