At a Glance
Six Things noceph Does to Protect Your Privacy
Before diving into the full legal text, here's a plain-language summary of noceph's core privacy commitments to every registered Philippine player.
noceph only collects personal data that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification (KYC), transaction processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data for its own sake, and we do not build advertising profiles on our players to sell to third-party marketers. Every piece of data noceph holds about you serves a clear, documented purpose.
noceph processes all personal data in full compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and its implementing rules and regulations. Our data processing practices are aligned with the standards set by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. Filipino players have enforceable rights under this law, and noceph respects each of them.
All personal data stored in noceph's systems is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols. All data transmitted between your device and noceph's servers is secured using TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption. noceph undergoes regular security audits and penetration testing to ensure that your personal and financial data remains protected against unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber threats.
noceph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party companies for commercial gain. Data may be shared with PAGCOR and relevant Philippine regulatory or law enforcement authorities as required by law, and with vetted third-party service providers who assist noceph in delivering its platform — but strictly under data processing agreements that prohibit independent use of your data.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, every noceph player has the right to be informed, to access their data, to correct inaccuracies, to object to processing, to erasure in applicable circumstances, to data portability, and to lodge complaints with the National Privacy Commission. noceph has established clear internal processes to handle these rights requests — full details are in Section 9 of this Policy.
noceph does not retain your personal data indefinitely. Retention periods are set in accordance with PAGCOR regulatory requirements, AMLA obligations, and the Data Privacy Act. Account data is retained for a minimum of five years following account closure to meet anti-money laundering recordkeeping requirements. After applicable retention periods expire, data is securely destroyed or anonymized.
Notice to Players: This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how noceph ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information provided by users ("you", "Player", "Data Subject") of the noceph platform at noceph.net. This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the requirements of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). By registering an account on noceph, you confirm that you have read, understood, and consented to the data processing practices described in this Policy.
Introduction
noceph is a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platform serving Filipino players across the Philippines. We offer a range of gaming products including live bingo, JILI slots, fishing games, live casino tables, and competitive sports betting on PBA, NBA, UFC, and other major events. In order to deliver these services safely, legally, and responsibly, noceph must collect and process certain personal information about registered players.
We take data privacy seriously — not merely as a legal obligation, but as a core part of our commitment to the Filipino players who trust noceph with their information and their money. This Policy sets out our practices in plain, readable language while meeting the legal standards required under Philippine law.
The Data Protection Officer (DPO) of noceph is responsible for overseeing compliance with this Policy and with the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 13 of this Policy.

Data Retention
noceph retains personal data for defined periods based on the category of data and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | 5 years after account closure | AMLA / PAGCOR requirement |

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely destroyed using methods appropriate to the sensitivity of the data (e.g., cryptographic erasure for digital data, secure shredding for physical documents). Where full erasure is not technically feasible, data will be anonymized such that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.
Your Privacy Rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules, every noceph player who is a Philippine resident has the following rights with respect to their personal data:
- Right to Be Informed: You have the right to be told what personal data noceph collects, why it is collected, how it is used, and with whom it is shared. This Privacy Policy fulfills that obligation.
- Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data noceph holds about you, including your account information, KYC records, transaction history, and gaming history. Access requests will be fulfilled within 15 business days.
- Right to Correction: If any personal data noceph holds about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request correction. noceph will process correction requests within 10 business days, subject to identity verification.
- Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, where consent has been withdrawn and no other legal basis applies, or where processing is unlawful. Note that noceph may be legally required to retain certain data under AMLA and PAGCOR obligations, which would override an erasure request for that specific data.
- Right to Object: You may object to processing of your personal data where noceph relies on legitimate interest as the legal basis, including profiling for responsible gaming purposes. noceph will assess the objection and respond within 15 business days.
- Right to Data Portability: You may request that noceph provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider, where technically feasible.
- Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe noceph has violated your rights under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines at privacy.gov.ph.
How to Exercise Your Rights: Submit your privacy rights request to noceph's Data Protection Officer via email at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Rights Request." Include your registered mobile number and a description of the right you wish to exercise. noceph will verify your identity before processing any rights request. Processing timelines are stated above per right type.
Data Security
noceph implements a layered security framework to protect player personal data from unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Key security measures in place include:
- Encryption: All personal data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher. Passwords are stored using strong one-way cryptographic hashing with salt.
- Access Controls: Access to player personal data within noceph's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with data access are subject to background checks, data protection training, and confidentiality obligations.
- Two-Factor Authentication: noceph's internal systems require multi-factor authentication for staff access to production data environments.
- Regular Security Audits: noceph engages independent cybersecurity firms to conduct regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of its platform and data infrastructure.
- Incident Response: noceph maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to player rights, noceph will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by the Data Privacy Act.
While noceph takes all reasonable and technically practicable measures to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords, enable any available two-factor authentication on their noceph account, and report any suspicious account activity to noceph support immediately.
Minors & Age Verification
noceph is strictly prohibited from providing gaming services to individuals under 21 years of age. This is a non-negotiable requirement of noceph's PAGCOR license and of applicable Philippine gambling law. noceph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21.

- The account will be immediately suspended pending investigation
- All personal data collected from the underage individual will be identified and isolated
