S5Games Privacy Policy

1. About This Policy

S5Games is an online gaming platform serving players across the Philippines — from Manila and Quezon City to Cebu and Davao. We understand that when you sign up with us, you are trusting us with your personal information. That trust is something we take seriously.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through our website, mobile platform, and any related communications. It covers what information we gather, how we use it, who we share it with, and the steps we take to keep it safe. If you have questions or concerns after reading this, you can reach our support team at the contact details provided at the end of this page.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information in several ways: directly from you when you register or interact with the platform, automatically through your use of the site, and occasionally from third-party service providers we work with.

The main categories of data we collect include:

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for account verification and legal compliance. We also do not collect data from individuals we know to be under 21 years of age.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for specific, legitimate purposes. We do not process your data in ways that are inconsistent with those purposes. Here is how we use the information we hold:

• Account management: To create, maintain, and secure your player account on S5Games.
• Identity verification: To complete KYC checks before processing withdrawals and to comply with applicable regulations.
• Transaction processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through supported local banking and e-wallet channels.
• Platform security: To detect and prevent fraud, unauthorised access, and violations of our Terms & Conditions.
• Customer support: To respond to your inquiries and resolve account-related issues efficiently.
• Service improvement: To analyse platform usage patterns and improve the overall experience for Philippine players.
• Communications: To send account notifications, security alerts, and, where you have opted in, relevant promotional updates.

We rely on legitimate interest, contractual necessity, and legal obligation as the basis for processing your data, depending on the specific purpose involved.

4. Sharing Your Information

S5Games does not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. However, in order to operate the platform properly, we do share certain information with trusted service providers who assist us in delivering our services. These include:

• Payment processors: To handle deposits and withdrawals through Philippine banking channels and e-wallets such as GCash and Maya.
• Identity verification providers: To assist with KYC document checks and fraud screening.
• IT and hosting providers: To maintain the infrastructure that keeps the platform running securely.
• Analytics services: To help us understand how the platform is being used so we can improve it.

All third-party providers we work with are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy standards and are prohibited from using it for their own commercial purposes. We may also disclose your information to regulatory or law enforcement authorities when required by law.

5. Data Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account remains active or as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Once an account is closed, we may retain certain records for a period required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes and preventing fraud.

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it so it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual.

6. How We Protect Your Data

We take data security seriously and have put in place a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and S5Games is encrypted in transit.
• Secure servers: Your data is stored on servers with restricted access, protected by firewalls and regular security audits.
• OTP verification: Sensitive account actions require one-time password confirmation sent to your registered mobile number or email.
• Access controls: Only authorised personnel with a legitimate need can access your personal data internally.
• Ongoing monitoring: We actively monitor our systems for unusual activity and potential security threats.

While we do everything reasonably practicable to protect your information, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your S5Games account and to keep your login credentials confidential.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

S5Games uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on the platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognise you, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the site.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly — such as keeping you logged in during a session.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages are visited most often and how players navigate the site, so we can make improvements.
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect account integrity.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the S5Games platform.

8. Your Rights

As a registered player, you have rights over the personal data we hold about you. These include:

• Right to access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to correction: If any of your information is inaccurate or outdated, you have the right to have it corrected.
• Right to deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you can ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your data, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

9. Players Under 21

S5Games is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21 years old. If we discover that an account has been registered by a minor, it will be closed immediately and any associated data will be deleted.

If you believe a minor has registered on our platform, please contact our support team immediately so we can take appropriate action.

10. Third-Party Links

Our platform may occasionally reference third-party services in an informational context. S5Games is not responsible for the privacy practices of any external websites or services. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any site you visit outside of S5Games.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. When we make significant changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and notify registered players via their registered email address where appropriate.

Continued use of S5Games after any update has been posted means you accept the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this page periodically so you are always up to date.
