Privacy Policy
At az77, protecting your personal information is not just a legal obligation — it is a core commitment we make to every Filipino player on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over your own information. We follow the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and industry best practices to keep your data safe at all times.
How az77 Protects Your Data
Six core principles that define how az77 handles every piece of information you share with us on the platform.
az77 only collects the personal information that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, transaction processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data beyond what is needed for these purposes.
Every piece of data transmitted between your device and az77 servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive stored data — including KYC documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using industry-standard protocols.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. az77 honours all valid data subject requests within the timeframes prescribed by RA 10173 and its IRR.
az77 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers, data brokers, or advertising networks — ever. Your data is yours, and it stays within the az77 ecosystem and its regulated service partners only.
az77 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine anti-money laundering laws. When retention is no longer justified, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms, az77 will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines within the timeframe required by RA 10173 — no delays, no excuses.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by az77 ("az77", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the az77 online casino and sports betting platform accessible at az77.vu ("Platform"). This Policy explains how az77 collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of players and visitors ("you", "your") who use or interact with the az77 Platform.
az77 is committed to handling your personal data with the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and care. Our data practices are designed to comply fully with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173, "DPA"), its Implementing Rules and Regulations ("IRR"), and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission ("NPC") of the Philippines. We also align our practices with internationally recognised privacy frameworks where applicable.
By registering an account on az77, using the Platform in any capacity, or submitting your personal information to us in any form, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please do not use the az77 Platform.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which together form the complete agreement governing your relationship with az77. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms & Conditions specifically relating to privacy, this Policy will prevail.

az77 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform effectively, personalise your experience, maintain your session, and analyse Platform performance. The following categories of cookies are used on az77:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during your az77 session and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, responsible gaming configurations, and game display options to provide a more personalised experience across sessions.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players use the az77 Platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where players encounter errors — to help us improve the Platform continuously.
- Fraud Detection Cookies: Help az77 identify unusual device behaviour, multiple account creation attempts, and other suspicious patterns that may indicate fraudulent activity.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to az77. az77 does not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies for external advertising purposes.
az77 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the specific purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as is required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
| Data Category | Retention Period |

| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn plus 3 years as proof of consent |
| Server and access logs | 12 months from the date of the log entry |
| Self-exclusion records | Duration of exclusion period plus 5 years |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted from az77 systems or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any identifiable individual. Where data is anonymised rather than deleted, it may be retained indefinitely for aggregate analytics purposes.
az77 employs a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security programme includes the following controls:
- Transport Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and az77 servers is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher with 256-bit SSL encryption.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data and KYC documents stored in az77 databases are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within az77 is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff access is subject to role-based permissions, multi-factor authentication, and comprehensive audit logging.
- Penetration Testing: az77 conducts regular security assessments, including third-party penetration testing, to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Data Minimisation: az77 systems are designed to minimise the personal data held in active processing systems, with older data archived or deleted in accordance with retention policies.
- Incident Response: az77 maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a breach, affected players and the NPC will be notified in accordance with the timelines prescribed by the DPA and its IRR.
- Staff Training: All az77 staff who handle personal data undergo regular data privacy and security training. Confidentiality obligations are embedded in all employment contracts.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by az77. These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and az77's regulatory obligations.
- Right to Be Informed: The right to be informed of your personal data being collected, the purposes of processing, and your rights as a data subject — which this Privacy Policy is designed to fulfil.
- Right of Access: The right to request a copy of the personal data az77 holds about you, together with information about how it is being processed.
- Right to Rectification: The right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected or updated. You can update basic account information directly through your az77 account dashboard after az77 login.
- Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten: The right to request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to az77's legal retention obligations under PAGCOR and AML regulations.
- Right to Object: The right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on az77's legitimate interests, in circumstances where your rights and interests override those interests.
- Right to Data Portability: The right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format where technically feasible.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of the rights above, please contact az77's Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in Section 14 of this Policy. az77 will respond to all valid data subject requests within 15 calendar days of receipt, or within such extended period as is permitted by the DPA for complex requests.
The az77 Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is the minimum legal age for casino-style gambling under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. az77 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Parents or guardians who believe that a minor in their care has created an az77 account or submitted personal data to az77 are encouraged to contact az77 customer support immediately at [email protected] so that the matter can be resolved promptly.
az77 is operated from a jurisdiction outside the Philippines. As a result, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries or territories other than the Philippines — including but not limited to the jurisdiction in which az77's primary servers and data centres are located.
Where such cross-border transfers occur, az77 takes all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection as it would under Philippine law. These steps include:
- Entering into data processing agreements with all third-party processors that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those required under the Philippine DPA.
- Transferring data only to countries or organisations that provide adequate levels of data protection, as assessed by az77's Data Protection Officer.
- Applying contractual safeguards, including standard contractual clauses, where transfers are made to jurisdictions without a formal adequacy determination.
- Ensuring that all cross-border transfers of KYC and AML-related data are conducted in compliance with the specific cross-border transfer rules set out in the DPA's IRR.
az77 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, special events, and Platform updates where you have provided explicit consent to receive such communications at the time of registration or subsequently through your account settings.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link included in any az77 marketing email.
- Updating your notification preferences in your az77 account dashboard after az77 login.
- Contacting az77 customer support via live chat or email at [email protected] and requesting to be removed from all marketing lists.
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect your ability to use the az77 Platform or your account. You will continue to receive transactional communications that are essential to the operation of your account — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts — regardless of your marketing preferences.
az77 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, updates to applicable Philippine privacy laws and regulations, changes to PAGCOR requirements, or improvements to our Platform and services.
When we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify registered players by posting a prominent notice on the az77 Platform and, where the changes significantly affect your rights, by sending a direct notification to the email address registered on your az77 account. The updated Policy will display a revised "Last Updated" date at the top of the document.
Your continued use of the az77 Platform following the posting of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should cease using the Platform and may request account closure by contacting az77 customer support. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how az77 protects your personal data.
az77 has appointed a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") in compliance with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. The DPO is responsible for overseeing az77's data protection strategy, ensuring compliance with the DPA and its IRR, and serving as the primary point of contact for all data subject rights requests and privacy enquiries.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights under the DPA, have a question about how az77 processes your personal data, or wish to raise a data privacy concern, please contact the az77 Data Protection Officer using the following details:
Email: [email protected]
Subject Line: "Data Privacy Request — [Your Full Name]"
Response Time: Within 15 calendar days of receipt
Hours: Monday to Sunday, 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Philippine Standard Time (PST, UTC+8)
If you are not satisfied with az77's response to your data privacy request, or if you believe that az77 has violated your rights under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines at privacy.gov.ph (please access this independently through your browser — az77 does not maintain an affiliate relationship with the NPC).
