How We Handle Your Information
Pinoy Poker Games is a comparison and information hub for Filipino online poker players. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
Our Commitment to You in Plain Language
Before the legal details, here is the simple version:
- We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
- We do not ask for your poker account passwords or banking details.
- We use basic tracking (cookies) to understand which poker bonuses our readers prefer so we can show more of what works.
- Any information you send us via email stays between us unless you give permission to share it.
Now, the complete details.
What Information We Collect
We collect very little data directly from you. Most of our data comes from publicly available poker room promotions and anonymous site analytics.
Information you actively give us:
- Email address and message content when you contact us via support@pinoypokergames.com or partners@pinoypokergames.com
- Any details you choose to include in a site complaint, bonus update report, or correction suggestion
Information we collect automatically:
- Your IP address (general location only, not your street address)
- Browser type and device information (so we know if you are on mobile or desktop)
- Pages you visit on pinoypokergames.com and how long you stay
- Links you click to external poker rooms (these are tracked as clicks, not tied to your identity)
Information we do NOT collect:
- Your name (unless you provide it in an email)
- Your physical address or phone number
- Your poker account usernames or passwords
- Your credit card or banking information
- Your exact GPS location
How We Use Your Information
Every piece of data we collect serves a specific purpose. None of it is used for anything beyond improving this website.
Email and contact information is used only to:
- Reply to your questions or complaints
- Update our rankings based on your bonus reports
- Investigate issues you raise about specific poker rooms
- Send you a response and nothing else. We do not maintain marketing email lists.
Automatic analytics data is used to:
- See which poker sites and bonuses interest our readers most
- Identify broken links or pages that do not load correctly
- Understand whether readers prefer mobile or desktop views
- Improve page layout and content ordering
Click tracking on external links is used to:
- Confirm that our outbound links to poker rooms are working
- Understand which bonuses drive the most interest (this helps us prioritize updates)
- Negotiate better deals or highlight rooms that our community actually uses
We do not share individual click data with poker rooms. They see only that a click came from pinoypokergames.com, not who clicked or any personal information.
Email Communications Policy
When you email us, we keep that conversation private. Here is exactly what happens:
- Your email is stored in our secure inbox (accessed only by the site operator)
- We do not add your email to any mailing list or newsletter unless you explicitly ask
- We do not share your email with poker rooms, affiliates, or third parties
- We delete email threads after one year unless there is an ongoing issue
If you want us to delete your email history, just ask. Send a note to support@pinoypokergames.com with “DELETE MY EMAIL HISTORY” in the subject line. We will remove everything within 7 days.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Poker Rooms
Pinoy Poker Games participates in affiliate programs. This means some links on our site pay us a small commission if you sign up through them. The commission comes from the poker room’s marketing budget, not from your pocket. Your bonuses and rakeback are unaffected.
How affiliate links work with your privacy:
- When you click a link to a poker room, we may pass a simple referral code
- That code contains no personal information about you
- The poker room may place its own cookie on your device
- The poker room’s privacy policy then applies. We do not control what they collect.
Important: We only recommend poker rooms we would play at ourselves. Affiliate commissions do not influence our rankings. A site that pays us nothing can rank higher than one that pays well if it offers better value to Filipino players.
For more details, read each poker room’s privacy policy before creating an account.
Data Security
We protect this website and any data we hold using industry standard measures.
- The site uses HTTPS encryption (look for the padlock in your browser bar)
- Email accounts are protected with strong passwords and two-factor authentication
- Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized where possible
- We do not store sensitive personal data, so there is nothing valuable for hackers to target
If we ever experience a data breach (unlikely given how little we store), we will notify affected users within 72 hours via email if we have their address.
Children’s Privacy
Pinoy Poker Games is not intended for anyone under 18 years old (or the legal age for online gambling in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has contacted us, email support@pinoypokergames.com. We will delete any related information immediately.
Your Rights Under Philippine Law
The Philippines follows data privacy principles under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). You have the right to:
- Know what personal data we have about you (answer: very little unless you emailed us)
- Request a copy of any data we hold
- Ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Withdraw any consent you previously gave
To exercise these rights, email support@pinoypokergames.com with “PRIVACY REQUEST” in the subject line. We will respond within 30 days at no charge.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Changes happen when:
- Laws or regulations change
- We add new features that collect different data
- We switch to new analytics or hosting providers
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date below. For significant changes (like starting to collect new types of personal data), we will add a notice on our homepage for 30 days.
Last Updated: May 5, 2026
Final Note to Our Readers
Privacy policies are rarely exciting to read. We kept this one as clear and short as possible while still covering everything required by law.
The core idea is simple: you visit our site to find better poker bonuses. We do not need your personal life to help you with that. So we do not ask for it, collect it, or trade it.
Now that the legal part is done, go find your next winning table.
