Menyala78 Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data
Your personal information is yours. At menyala78, we collect only what we genuinely need to operate the platform safely and serve you well — and we handle it with the care it deserves. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we need it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over it as a Filipino player.
This policy applies to all personal data collected through the menyala78 website and all services offered on it. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions.
Your data is never sold to third parties
Our Core Privacy Commitments
Before you read the full policy, here are the six things that define how menyala78 treats your personal data.
We Never Sell Your Data
Your personal information collected at menyala78 is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party marketers. We share data only where required by law, to process your transactions, or with service providers operating under strict confidentiality obligations on our behalf.
We Collect Only What We Need
Data minimisation is a genuine operating principle at menyala78, not just a compliance phrase. We ask for personal information because we have a specific, lawful reason for it — not to build a marketing profile or as a precaution for unspecified future use.
Encryption and Secure Storage
All data transmitted between your device and the menyala78 platform is encrypted using industry-standard TLS. Sensitive account information and financial data are stored in secured, access-controlled environments. We regularly review and update our security practices.
You Control Your Data
As a menyala78 account holder, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, ask for deletion (subject to legal obligations), and withdraw marketing consent at any time. These rights are exercised through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Clear Data Retention Periods
We do not retain personal data indefinitely. menyala78 holds data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Retention periods are set by category and reviewed periodically.
Compliance with Philippine Law
This policy is aligned with the Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and its implementing rules. menyala78 is committed to meeting the obligations set by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) regarding the collection, processing, and protection of personal data of Filipino players.
1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy is issued by menyala78 ("we," "us," "our"), the operator of the online gaming platform accessible at menyala78.best. We are the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through this website and the services offered on it, including live casino games, Jackpot Slots, Bingo, Color Game, and sports betting.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of every person who interacts with the menyala78 platform — whether you are a registered player, a visitor browsing the site, or someone who contacts our customer support. This policy sets out how we fulfil that commitment in clear, straightforward language.
If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled at menyala78, you can reach us at any time through the contact details in Section 15.
2. Personal Data We Collect
The personal data we collect at menyala78 falls into several categories. The specific information we collect depends on how you interact with the platform.
2.1 Account and Identity Information
- Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued identification.
- Date of birth (used for age verification — you must be 18 or older).
- Email address and Philippine mobile number.
- Username and encrypted password.
- Copies of identity documents submitted for KYC verification: government-issued photo ID (e.g., Philippine passport, driver's licence, SSS ID, UMID card, or PhilSys ID), proof of address (utility bill or bank statement within 90 days), and proof of payment method.
2.2 Financial and Transaction Information
- Deposit and withdrawal amounts, dates, and transaction reference numbers.
- Payment method details — GCash mobile number, Maya account number, bank account or card details (we store only the information necessary to process and verify transactions; full card numbers are handled by our payment processors under PCI DSS standards).
- Account balance history.
2.3 Gaming Activity
- Bet history including game type, stake amount, outcome, and timestamp.
- Session duration and frequency of play.
- Use of responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion requests.
2.4 Technical and Device Information
- IP address and approximate geographic location derived from it.
- Device type, operating system, and browser type and version.
- Session identifiers and cookies (see Section 7).
- Pages visited, time on page, and navigation path through the platform.
2.5 Communications
- Content of messages sent to customer support via chat or email.
- Records of promotional opt-ins and opt-outs.
- Survey responses and feedback submitted voluntarily.
We do not collect sensitive personal information such as race, religion, political opinion, health data, or biometric data unless specifically required for age verification or fraud prevention and only with your explicit consent where required by law.
3. How We Collect Your Data
menyala78 collects personal data through three main channels:
3.1 Directly from You
The majority of personal data we hold is provided directly by you during the registration process, KYC verification, deposit or withdrawal requests, customer support interactions, and participation in promotions. You choose what to provide — though certain information is required to use specific features of the platform (for example, identity documents are required before your first withdrawal).
3.2 Automatically Through Platform Use
When you visit or use the menyala78 platform, certain data is collected automatically — including your IP address, device information, session identifiers, and behavioural data such as pages viewed and time spent. This data is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies, which are described in Section 7.
3.3 From Third Parties
In some circumstances, menyala78 may receive personal data about you from third parties — for example, from payment processors to confirm the outcome of a transaction, from fraud prevention service providers to assist with KYC verification, or from our licensed game suppliers in connection with your gaming activity on their platforms hosted within our lobby.
menyala78 does not purchase third-party marketing lists or receive personal data from social media platforms without your explicit authorisation.
4. How We Use Your Data
The following table summarises the main purposes for which menyala78 processes your personal data and the type of data involved in each.
| Purpose | Data Used | Essential? |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Identity, contact, login credentials | Yes |
| Age and identity verification (KYC) | Identity documents, date of birth, address proof | Yes |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Financial data, payment method details | Yes |
| Delivering and recording game play | Gaming activity, session data | Yes |
| Fraud prevention and security monitoring | IP address, device data, transaction history | Yes |
| Anti-money laundering compliance (AML) | Identity, transaction history, account behaviour | Yes |
| Customer support | Communications, account history | Yes |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Gaming activity, session data, self-set limits | Yes |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Aggregated usage data, technical data | No (opt-out available) |
| Marketing communications | Contact details, gaming preferences | No (consent required) |
Essential processing means we cannot provide the relevant feature or comply with our legal obligations without it. Non-essential processing requires your consent or a legitimate interest assessment.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) of the Philippines, menyala78 must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following bases:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our agreement with you as a registered player — including account management, game delivery, and payment processing.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws — including KYC/AML regulations, responsible gaming obligations, and reporting requirements.
- Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for purposes such as fraud prevention, platform security, and improving the service, where our interests are balanced against your privacy rights.
- Consent: Processing for optional purposes — primarily marketing communications and non-essential analytics — where you have given clear, informed consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Your right to object: Where we process your data based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. We will assess your objection and cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests. Contact us using the details in Section 15 to raise an objection.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
menyala78 does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the following circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for each purpose:
6.1 Service Providers
We work with third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf under data processing agreements that require them to handle your information with the same standard of care applied by menyala78. These providers include payment processors (GCash, Maya, and Philippine banking partners), KYC and identity verification services, game software providers, fraud detection services, cloud infrastructure providers, and customer support platform operators.
6.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
We may disclose personal data to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or other regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies where required by law, court order, or where we have reasonable grounds to believe disclosure is necessary to prevent illegal activity, protect the rights of menyala78 or other users, or comply with a legal obligation.
6.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the menyala78 business, your personal data may be transferred to the relevant parties as part of that transaction. We will notify registered players via email and platform announcement before such a transfer takes effect and ensure the receiving party maintains equivalent privacy protections.
We do not share personal data with third-party advertisers, data brokers, or social media platforms for marketing profiling purposes without your explicit consent.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The menyala78 website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, recognise returning users, improve performance, and — where you have consented — to deliver relevant content and analyse platform usage.
7.1 Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in, security cookies that help prevent fraud, and cookies that remember your language and currency preferences. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
- Functional cookies: Used to remember your preferences and personalise your experience — for example, your preferred game category or last-visited table. Disabling these may reduce personalisation but will not stop you from using the platform.
- Analytics cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players interact with the platform — which pages are most visited, how long sessions last, and where users encounter problems. This helps us improve the experience. These require your consent and can be declined via the cookie preference centre.
- Marketing cookies: Used, with your consent, to deliver promotions and content relevant to your interests. These are only active if you have opted in to marketing communications.
7.2 Managing Cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie preference centre available in your account settings or on your first visit to the platform. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using the platform.
Mobile players: If you access menyala78 through a mobile browser, the same cookie rules apply. Your mobile browser's privacy settings will give you control over cookies stored on your device.
8. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain personal data for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply to the main data categories at menyala78:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | AML and regulatory compliance |
| KYC verification documents | 5 years after account closure | Legal obligation (AML Act) |
| Transaction records | 5 years from transaction date | Financial and tax regulations |
| Gaming activity logs | 3 years from each session | Dispute resolution, responsible gaming |
| Customer support records | 3 years from last interaction | Dispute resolution, service improvement |
| Marketing preferences | Until withdrawn or account closed | Consent management |
| Technical / session logs | 90 days | Security and fraud monitoring |
After the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.
9. How We Keep Your Data Secure
Data security at menyala78 is treated as a core operational responsibility. We implement and maintain a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration.
- Encryption in transit: All data exchanged between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- Encryption at rest: Sensitive data — including identity documents and financial details — is encrypted when stored in our systems.
- Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to menyala78 staff and service providers who have a legitimate need to access it for specific job functions. Access is role-based and logged.
- Payment security: Card payment data is processed by certified PCI DSS-compliant payment processors. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Two-factor authentication: Players are encouraged to enable 2FA on their accounts. The option is available in account security settings.
- Security monitoring: Our systems are continuously monitored for unusual activity, attempted intrusions, and potential data breaches.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights and freedoms, menyala78 will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected individuals in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and within the timeframes prescribed by the NPC.
10. Your Rights Under Philippine Data Privacy Law
As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data held by menyala78:
- Right to be informed: To know what data we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it — which is the purpose of this Privacy Policy.
- Right of access: To receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this within 30 days of a verified request.
- Right to rectification: To have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected. Minor corrections (such as updating your contact number) can be made directly in your account settings.
- Right to erasure / "right to be forgotten": To request deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to our legal retention obligations — we cannot delete data we are required by law to keep, but we can discuss what can be removed and when.
- Right to data portability: To receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format so you can transfer it to another service provider.
- Right to object: To object to certain types of processing, particularly processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Right to withdraw consent: To withdraw consent for any processing that relies on it (e.g., marketing emails) at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
- Right to lodge a complaint: To raise a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines if you believe your data privacy rights have been violated.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the menyala78 data privacy contact at the details in Section 15. We will respond to requests within 30 days and may need to verify your identity before acting on any request.
11. Marketing Communications
With your consent, menyala78 may send you promotional communications about new games, bonuses, promotions, and platform news via email and SMS. We will only send marketing messages if you have opted in — either during registration or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the unsubscribe link in any promotional email from menyala78.
- Updating your communication preferences in account settings.
- Contacting customer support and requesting removal from marketing lists.
Opting out of marketing will not affect transactional communications — you will still receive emails about your account activity, deposits, withdrawals, and security notifications as these are essential to the service.
12. Children and Minors
menyala78 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. The registration process requires applicants to confirm their age, and identity verification documents are required to confirm that the account holder meets the minimum age requirement before any withdrawal can be processed.
If you have reason to believe that a minor has created an account at menyala78 or is using your account, please contact us immediately at support@menyala78.best. We will investigate and close any account confirmed to belong to a minor, return any real-money deposits to the payment source, and delete all associated personal data except where we are legally required to retain records of the incident.
If you share a device with younger family members, please log out of your menyala78 account after every session and use a strong, unique password to prevent unauthorised access.
13. Links to Third-Party Sites
The menyala78 platform does not include links to external websites. If you arrive at a third-party website in connection with a payment (such as being redirected briefly to your bank's authentication page during a GCash or BPI transaction), please note that those third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies. menyala78 has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices of third-party platforms. Review their privacy notices before providing any personal information.
14. Changes to This Policy
menyala78 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, the updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. For material changes — those that significantly affect how we use your data or expand your obligations — we will notify registered players via email or a platform notification at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
Your continued use of the menyala78 platform after the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised policy, you may close your account by contacting customer support before the effective date.
We recommend bookmarking this page and reviewing it periodically. The most recent version of this policy will always be available at menyala78.best/privacy-policy.
15. Contact and Complaints
For any question, concern, or request relating to this Privacy Policy or the personal data we hold about you, please contact the menyala78 privacy team through any of the following channels:
- Email: support@menyala78.best
- Live chat: Available within the platform after login, 24 hours a day
- Subject line for privacy requests: "Data Privacy Request – [Your Account Username]"

If you are not satisfied with our response, or if you believe that menyala78 has violated your rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC). Information on how to file a complaint with the NPC is available on the official NPC website.
