Privacy Policy
Effective date: 22 April 2026 | Last reviewed: 22 April 2026
This privacy policy is compliant with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
1. Scope of This Policy
This privacy policy applies to all data processing activities conducted by mnlbet-ph.app in connection with: (a) visits to our website at mnlbet-ph.app and its subpages; (b) email inquiries submitted to any mnlbet-ph.app address; (c) newsletter subscription if you opt in; and (d) affiliate link click-through tracking. This policy does not govern the data practices of third-party operators or websites we link to — please review their respective privacy policies before submitting personal information on those platforms.
2. Data We Collect
Anonymous analytics data: We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated information about site traffic — pages viewed, session duration, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/region level via IP geolocation). This data is anonymised before storage and is used solely to improve our editorial content. We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
Email correspondence: If you contact us via our contact form or email our editorial addresses directly, we collect the name and email address you provide, along with the content of your message. This data is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties except as required by law.
Cookies: We use functional cookies (required for site operation), analytics cookies (Google Analytics), and affiliate tracking cookies (to attribute referrals for commission purposes). See Section 9 for a full cookie list and opt-out instructions.
3. How We Use Your Data
- To improve editorial content quality by understanding which articles Filipino readers find most useful
- To respond to reader inquiries, corrections submissions, and story tips
- To track affiliate referral performance in aggregated form — no personally identifiable reader data is shared with affiliate partners
- To send newsletters if you have explicitly opted in (you may unsubscribe at any time)
- To comply with legal obligations, including PDPA data subject access requests
4. Third-Party Services
Google Analytics (GA4): Processes anonymized site traffic data. Google's servers are located outside the Philippines. We have a data processing agreement with Google and have configured GA4 with IP anonymization enabled. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com.
Cloudflare (CDN and DDoS protection): Processes HTTP request data for security and performance purposes. Cloudflare may log IP addresses as part of its security function. See Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
PAGCOR license verification: We may query PAGCOR's public operator registry to verify license information for editorial purposes. No reader data is transmitted to PAGCOR through our verification process.
Affiliate networks: When you click an affiliate link, the destination operator's affiliate tracking system records the referral. We do not transmit your personal information to affiliate partners — only anonymized click-through data.
