1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how bmyoo ("bmyoo," "we," "us," "our") collects, processes, stores, and protects personal information belonging to players and visitors of the bmyoo online gaming platform ("Platform"). It applies to all interactions with bmyoo, including account registration, deposits, gameplay, withdrawals, customer support, and any use of the bmyoo website and related services.
bmyoo is committed to protecting the privacy of every Filipino player in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its implementing rules and regulations, and all applicable data protection laws. By registering an account on bmyoo or using any part of the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein.
Plain English: bmyoo collects your personal data to operate your account, process payments, keep you safe, and comply with Philippine law. We don't sell your data. We protect it seriously. This page explains exactly how all of that works.
This Policy should be read alongside the bmyoo Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are incorporated by reference. If you have questions about how bmyoo handles your personal information, you can contact the Data Privacy Officer at any time using the details in Section 16.
2. Data Controller
bmyoo is the data controller responsible for the personal information collected through the Platform. As data controller, bmyoo determines the purposes for which and the means by which personal data is processed.
bmyoo has appointed a Data Privacy Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation. The DPO can be contacted directly at privacy@bmyoo.com. All requests relating to your personal data rights, data access requests, corrections, or erasure requests should be directed to this address.

6. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, bmyoo is required to have a lawful basis for every processing activity involving personal data. The legal bases bmyoo relies on are:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, such as operating your account, processing payments, and delivering games. Without this processing, bmyoo cannot provide its services to you.

- Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for bmyoo's legitimate business interests, including fraud detection, security monitoring, Platform improvement, and responsible gaming oversight. bmyoo ensures that its legitimate interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.

7. Sharing Your Personal Data
bmyoo does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. We share personal data only in the following circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the specific purpose:
7.1 Payment Service Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals, bmyoo must share relevant financial and identity information with licensed payment service providers including GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard network processors. These providers are bound by their own data protection obligations and may only use your data for the specific transaction purpose.
7.2 Identity and Fraud Verification Services
bmyoo uses licensed third-party KYC and identity verification providers to confirm player identity and conduct AML screening. These providers process your identity documents under strict confidentiality obligations and use the data solely for verification purposes.
7.3 Regulatory and Legal Authorities
bmyoo will disclose personal data to Philippine regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by law, court order, or to protect the legal rights of bmyoo, its players, or the public. bmyoo will notify affected players of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
7.4 Technology and Infrastructure Providers
bmyoo works with licensed technology partners for hosting, data storage, game provision, customer support software, and analytics. These partners process personal data on bmyoo's behalf under strict data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your data for any purpose other than providing services to bmyoo.
7.5 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the bmyoo business, personal data held by bmyoo may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. Affected players will be notified of any such transfer and any changes to this Privacy Policy that result from it before the transfer takes effect.
Remember: bmyoo never sells your personal information. Every third-party sharing arrangement is governed by a formal data processing agreement that restricts how your data can be used.

- Communication records: Up to 3 years from the date of the communication, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
- Marketing preference data: Until you withdraw consent or close your account, whichever is earlier.
- Technical and log data: Up to 12 months from collection, unless retained longer for security investigations.
When personal data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, bmyoo will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you personally.
9. How We Protect Your Data
bmyoo implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
