fanchai Privacy Policy – How Your Personal Data Is Collected and Protected
At fanchai, protecting the personal information of every player in the Philippines is a core responsibility, not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect when you register and play, why we need it, how we keep it secure, and the rights you have over your own information. Reading this page will give you a clear, honest picture of how your data moves through our platform from the moment you sign up to the moment you log out.
What This Policy Covers and Why It Matters to You
This Privacy Policy applies to all players who visit, register, or use the fanchai platform, including the website accessible at fanchai.org and any related mobile-optimised pages designed for players in the Philippines. It explains in clear terms what personal information we gather from you, the specific purposes for which that information is used, how long we retain it, and the circumstances under which it may be shared with carefully selected third parties. We have written this document to be genuinely readable rather than a wall of legal jargon, because we believe every player deserves to understand exactly what happens to their data.
By creating an account or continuing to use the fanchai platform after this policy is published, you acknowledge that you have read and understood its contents. If you are ever unsure about a particular clause, our support team is available through the contact details provided at the end of this document, and we encourage you to reach out before you proceed. This policy may be updated from time to time; the date at the top of the page will always reflect the most recent revision, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any changes.

1. Data We Collect
When you register for a fanchai account, we collect the personal information you provide directly, including your full name, date of birth, email address, and the mobile number you associate with your profile. This registration data is the minimum we need to create a secure, verified account and to comply with our obligations under Philippine law regarding player identification. We do not ask for information beyond what is genuinely necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
As you use the platform, we also collect device and browser data automatically. This includes your IP address, the type of device you are using (smartphone, tablet, or desktop), your operating system version, browser type and version, the pages or game categories you visit within fanchai, and the timestamps of those visits. This technical data helps us keep the platform running smoothly, detect unusual access patterns that might indicate account compromise, and improve the mobile experience for players across the Philippines.
For all financial transactions, we collect the information needed to process your Philippine Peso deposits and withdrawal requests safely. This includes your chosen payment method type, the transaction reference numbers generated by payment processors, and the amounts involved. We do not store full card numbers or full e-wallet credentials on our own servers; instead, those details are handled directly by our certified payment processing partners who maintain their own security standards.
We also collect usage data such as game session logs, wager histories, and promotional interaction records. This information is used for responsible gaming monitoring, for detecting potential fraud, and for understanding which game categories — such as live casino, slots, or bingo — are most popular among our Philippines player base so that we can continue improving the content we offer.
2. How We Use Your Information
The primary purpose for collecting your personal data is to provide you with a fully functional, secure, and enjoyable online gaming experience on fanchai. Your registration information allows us to create and maintain your account, verify your identity before processing withdrawal requests, and communicate with you about your account status, security alerts, or important changes to our platform policies. Without this core data, we simply could not operate a safe and compliant service.
We use your transaction history and PHP payment records to process deposits promptly, handle withdrawal requests correctly, and maintain accurate financial records as required by applicable regulations. If our risk or compliance team flags a transaction for review — for example, if an unusual pattern suggests potential fraud or money laundering — your financial data may be examined as part of that internal investigation. This is a standard and necessary safeguard, not a routine surveillance activity.
Your usage data and game session logs are analysed in aggregate to help us understand player behaviour and improve the fanchai platform. For example, if data shows that a particular category of slot games is experiencing higher-than-average loading times on mobile devices in the Philippines, our technical team can prioritise fixing that issue. Individual-level usage data may also be used for responsible gaming purposes, such as identifying patterns that could suggest a player is showing signs of problem gambling and may benefit from our support resources.
fanchai may also use your contact details to send you transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal status updates, and account security notifications. We will only send you promotional messages if you have explicitly opted in to receive them, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
fanchai uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies to make the platform work correctly and to give you a smoother experience each time you visit. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for functions like keeping you logged in during a gaming session, remembering your language preference, and ensuring that PHP transactions are processed securely. These cookies are always active because the platform cannot function properly without them, and they do not collect any information that could be used to identify you across other websites.
We also use functional cookies that remember your preferences — such as the game categories you browse most often or your preferred deposit method — so that your experience feels more personalised on return visits. These cookies store information locally on your device and are not shared with any advertising network. Performance cookies help us measure how different parts of the platform are being used, for example how quickly pages load on mobile devices used by players across the Philippines, so that we can make targeted improvements.
fanchai does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that would allow external advertisers to follow your activity across the internet. We are committed to keeping your browsing behaviour within our own platform rather than selling or sharing it for commercial profiling purposes. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time; however, please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some features of the fanchai platform from working as expected.
When you first visit fanchai, you will be presented with a cookie notice that summarises the categories described above and lets you make an informed choice. If you continue using the platform without changing your settings, we treat that as consent to the use of functional and performance cookies in addition to the strictly necessary ones. You are always free to revisit and update your preferences by accessing your browser's privacy or cookie management tools.
4. Data Storage and Security
All personal data collected by fanchai is stored on secured servers that are protected by industry-standard technical and organisational measures. Data transmitted between your device and our platform — including your login credentials, account details, and PHP transaction information — is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to prevent interception during transit. At rest, sensitive personal records are stored in encrypted form so that even in the unlikely event of an unauthorised access attempt, the underlying data remains unreadable without the appropriate decryption keys.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations. Account information is generally retained for the duration of your active account and for a defined period after closure to comply with financial record-keeping obligations. Game session logs and transaction histories may be retained for a longer period where required by anti-money laundering regulations or where a dispute is pending.
Access to your personal data within fanchai is strictly limited to staff members who genuinely need it to perform their roles — for example, customer support agents assisting with an account query, or compliance officers reviewing a flagged transaction. All personnel with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive training on data protection practices. We conduct periodic internal reviews of access permissions to ensure they remain appropriate.
Despite the robust measures we apply, no online system can guarantee absolute security against every conceivable threat. We encourage you to play your part by choosing a strong, unique password for your fanchai account, keeping your device software up to date, and logging out properly when you have finished your session — especially if you are playing on a shared or public device. If you ever suspect that your account has been accessed without your knowledge, please contact our support team immediately so that we can take prompt protective action.
5. Sharing Data with Third Parties
fanchai does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial profiling purposes. We share your information only with carefully selected service providers who assist us in operating the platform, and only to the extent strictly necessary for those providers to perform their contracted services. Each third-party partner we work with is required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and is prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond what we have authorised.
Our primary category of third-party data sharing involves payment processing providers who handle your PHP deposits and withdrawals. When you initiate a financial transaction, the relevant payment processor receives the transaction details needed to execute it — such as the amount, your account reference, and the payment method identifier. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and security frameworks, and fanchai selects only established, reputable processors that meet the standards expected of licensed financial service operators in the Philippines.
We may also be required by law to disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if we receive a valid legal order or if we are obligated to report activity under anti-money laundering legislation. In such cases, we will disclose only the minimum information required to comply with the legal obligation and will notify you where we are legally permitted to do so. Outside of legal compulsion, fanchai does not proactively share your data with government bodies.
If fanchai ever undergoes a corporate restructuring, merger, or change of ownership, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. In any such scenario, fanchai will ensure that the receiving party is bound by privacy obligations at least as protective as those described in this policy, and we will notify affected players in advance where reasonably practicable.
6. Your Rights as a Player
As a registered player on fanchai, you have meaningful rights over the personal data we hold about you. You have the right to access a copy of your personal information at any time by submitting a request through our support team. We will respond to verified access requests within a reasonable timeframe and provide the information in a clear, readable format. There is no charge for making a standard access request, though we may apply a reasonable administrative fee if requests are manifestly excessive or repetitive.
If you believe that any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, you have the right to request a correction. Many basic details — such as your contact email or mobile number — can be updated directly through your account settings after logging in. For changes to identity documents or date of birth, which require additional verification, please contact our support team and we will guide you through the process.
You may request the deletion of your personal data in circumstances where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent and no other legal basis applies, or where you believe the data has been processed unlawfully. Please be aware that we may be unable to fulfil a deletion request in full where we are required to retain certain information under Philippine financial regulations or where data is needed to resolve an outstanding dispute.
You also have the right to object to certain types of data processing, and — where processing is based on your consent — the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, please contact the fanchai support team using the details provided in the final section of this policy. We take all rights requests seriously and will handle them promptly and respectfully.
7. Protection of Minors
fanchai is strictly an 18-and-above platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18, and our registration process includes age verification steps designed to prevent minors from creating accounts. If we become aware that a player account was created by someone below the minimum age, we will immediately suspend that account, delete the associated personal data to the extent permitted by law, and take any further action required under applicable Philippine regulations.
Parents and guardians who have concerns that a minor in their household may have accessed fanchai or provided personal information to us are encouraged to contact our support team immediately. We treat such notifications with the highest priority and will investigate and respond without undue delay. We also recommend that adults use parental control software and device-level restrictions to help prevent underage access to online gaming platforms in the Philippines and globally.
Our commitment to minor protection extends beyond account registration. We do not direct any marketing communications toward individuals who identify as under 18, and our responsible gaming tools — including account limits, session timeouts, and self-exclusion options — are designed in part to support the broader goal of keeping gaming a safe activity reserved exclusively for adults. For more information on responsible gaming at fanchai, visit our Responsible Gaming page.
8. Policy Updates and How to Contact Us
fanchai reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, new legal requirements in the Philippines, or improvements to our platform. When we make a material change — one that significantly affects how we collect or use your personal data — we will notify registered players by posting a prominent notice on the platform or by sending an alert to the email address associated with your account. The revised policy will take effect on the date specified in the notice, and your continued use of fanchai after that date constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
We encourage you to review this page periodically even outside of formal notification periods, as minor clarifications or wording improvements may be made without triggering a full notification. The effective date displayed at the top of the page will always tell you when the policy was last reviewed, so you can quickly check whether anything has changed since your last visit. Keeping up with these updates is one of the simplest ways to stay informed about how your data is being handled.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any of the data rights described in Section 6, or have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, please contact the fanchai support team. You can reach us via the support portal accessible after logging in to your account, or by writing to us at the address listed on the platform. Our team is committed to responding to all privacy-related enquiries in a timely and transparent manner, and we treat every concern — no matter how small — with the seriousness it deserves. For questions about responsible gaming, you are also welcome to visit our FAQ page which covers many common topics in plain, easy-to-understand English.
