This Privacy Policy describes how maya23 ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use the maya23.vip platform. By registering an account or using our services, you consent to the practices described in this Policy. Please read it carefully.
1. Introduction
maya23 is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all personal information collected through maya23.vip, its mobile applications, and any communication channels operated by maya23, including live chat, Messenger, Viber, and email support.
maya23 complies with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and all relevant issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). In contexts where additional data protection standards apply, maya23 will observe those standards as required.
maya23 acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data it processes directly. Where maya23 engages third-party service providers who process data on its behalf, those providers act as Personal Information Processors (PIP) and are contractually bound to observe appropriate data protection obligations.
2. Personal Data We Collect
maya23 collects personal data through multiple channels in the course of providing its services. The categories of data collected include:
- Identity Data — full legal name, date of birth, nationality, and government-issued identification documents (e.g., passport, PhilSys ID, driver's licence, UMID) provided during account verification.
- Contact Data — mobile phone number, email address, and where provided, Messenger or Viber handles.
- Account Data — username, account ID, account registration date, login history, and preferences.
- Financial Data — deposit and withdrawal transaction records, payment method identifiers (e.g., GCash wallet reference, bank account details), and transaction history. maya23 does not store full card numbers — payment card data is processed by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.
- Gaming Data — game session history, wagers placed, game outcomes, bonus usage, and responsible gaming limit settings.
- Technical Data — IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, session duration, and pages visited, collected through standard web analytics and security monitoring.
- Communications Data — records of your interactions with our support team via live chat, email, Messenger, or Viber, including chat transcripts and support ticket histories.
- KYC Data — documentary evidence collected to satisfy Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations, including scanned copies of identification and proof of address documents.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data
maya23 uses collected personal data for the following purposes:
- Account Management — to create, maintain, verify, and administer your player account.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
maya23 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:
- Game Providers — game session data (player ID, wager amounts, session token) is shared with the relevant game provider solely to facilitate game play. Game providers are contractually prohibited from using this data for any other purpose.
- Payment Processors — financial data necessary to process your deposit or withdrawal is shared with the relevant payment provider (e.g., GCash, BPI, BDO). These providers operate under their own privacy policies and applicable Philippine payment regulations.
- Regulatory Authorities — maya23 may disclose personal data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission, or law enforcement authorities when required by law or a valid legal order.
- Service Providers — trusted third-party technology and analytics providers who assist maya23 in operating the platform may have access to limited data under strict contractual data processing agreements.
- Business Transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent data protection commitments.
6. Data Retention
maya23 retains personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and regulation. Specifically:
- Account and transaction data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, as required by AML regulations.

- Support communications are retained for two (2) years from the date of the interaction.

When data is no longer required for its original purpose and no legal retention obligation applies, maya23 will securely delete or anonymize it.
