1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ik888 ("ik888," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you," "Player," or "User") who access or use the ik888 online casino and sports betting platform at ik888.club, including all associated pages, features, mobile interfaces, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

This Policy is designed to comply with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173, "DPA"), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the regulations of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). It also reflects our obligations as a PAGCOR-regulated gaming operator.
