How SG5 Protects Your Privacy
The key principles behind how we handle your personal information
Encrypted Connections
Every session on SG5 – whether on the web or through the mobile app – is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Your data in transit is never sent in plain text, keeping your login credentials and payment details secure.
Collect Only What We Need
SG5 only collects personal information that is necessary to run the platform, verify your identity, and process your transactions in Philippine Peso. We do not gather data that serves no clear purpose for your account.
Your Rights Come First
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. SG5 provides clear channels for exercising these rights, and our support team is available to assist you with any data-related request.
No Selling of Your Data
SG5 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data stays within the SG5 platform ecosystem and is only shared where strictly necessary to deliver the service.
Secure Data Storage
Personal data collected during registration and KYC verification is stored with access controls in place. Only authorised personnel and systems can access sensitive account information, and all access is logged.
OTP-Secured Account Access
Sensitive account actions – including logins from new devices and withdrawal requests – are protected by one-time password (OTP) verification. This ensures that only you can authorise significant changes to your SG5 account.

3 How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect only for legitimate purposes that are directly connected to operating the SG5 platform and serving our players. The table below summarises the main uses and the basis for each.
| Purpose | Data Used | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and login | Name, email, mobile number, password | Contract performance |
| Identity verification (KYC) | Government ID, date of birth, address | Legal obligation |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Payment method details, transaction records | Contract performance |
| Fraud prevention and security | IP address, device info, login history | Legitimate interest |
| Customer support | Account details, support communications | Contract performance |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Game activity, deposit and loss patterns | Legal obligation / Legitimate interest |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Aggregated usage and navigation data | Legitimate interest |
| Promotional communications (opt-in) | Email address, mobile number | Consent |
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces significant legal effects without human oversight. Where automated tools assist in fraud detection or responsible gaming checks, a human review is available upon request.
5 Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including compliance with legal obligations.
Specific retention periods may apply in the following circumstances:
- KYC identity documents are retained for the period required to comply with anti-money laundering and financial record-keeping obligations.
- Transaction records including deposits, withdrawals, and bet history are retained for financial compliance purposes.
- Support communications are kept for a period sufficient to resolve disputes and improve service quality.
- Where you have requested account closure, personal data may still be retained as required by law before being deleted or anonymised.
When data is no longer required for its stated purpose and there is no legal basis for retaining it, SG5 will securely delete or anonymise it.
6 Security Measures
SG5 applies technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption on all platform connections, including the SG5 mobile app
- OTP-based authentication for logins and sensitive account actions
- Access controls limiting data access to authorised staff and systems only
- Regular security assessments of the platform infrastructure
- Monitoring for unusual account activity and suspicious login patterns
While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account safe – use a strong password, enable OTP verification, and contact support immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
7 Your Rights
As a user of SG5, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team through the live chat available on the platform or in the SG5 app.
- Right to access: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Right to correction: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or outdated, you can request that it be corrected. You can also update most account details directly in your account settings.
- Right to deletion: You may request that we delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.
- Right to object: You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings.
- Right to data portability: Where technically feasible, you may request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (such as marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
We aim to respond to all valid data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe. Some requests may require identity verification before they can be actioned to protect account security.
