We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration:

- Access controls — internal access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis with role-based permissions.
- Penetration testing — our platform undergoes regular third-party security audits.
- Data breach response — in the event of a data breach affecting your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and affected users without undue delay.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us and we will respond within 30 days.
Right of Access
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (a Subject Access Request / SAR).
Right to Rectification
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your data rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority — for example, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) in the Philippines, or the relevant EU supervisory authority in your member state.
Children's Privacy
VIPScatter's services are strictly for adults aged 21 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21.
If we become aware that a minor has provided personal data or created an account, we will immediately suspend the account, delete the data, and notify the relevant authorities where required. If you believe a minor has accessed our services, please contact us immediately via our contact page.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools such as Gamban and Net Nanny to block access to gambling websites on devices used by minors.
International Data Transfers
VIPScatter serves users across Asia and beyond. Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Where we transfer data outside the EEA or the Philippines, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
- Adequacy decisions recognising the destination country's data protection standards
- Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) where applicable
- Contractual obligations on third-party processors to apply equivalent protections
You may request details of the specific safeguards applied to your data by contacting us.
