Privacy at a glance

Six Things HaloBonus Commits to Every Player

Bank-Grade Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and HaloBonus is protected by TLS encryption — the same standard used by major Philippine banks including BDO, BPI, and UnionBank.

You Control Your Data

HaloBonus players can request access to their data, correct inaccurate records, restrict certain processing, or ask for deletion — subject to legal and operational obligations.

No Selling of Your Data

HaloBonus does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketing companies. Your data is used to operate and improve your experience on the platform, nothing else.

Compliance with Philippine Law

Data handling at HaloBonus is aligned with the Republic Act 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and related National Privacy Commission issuances.

Defined Retention Periods

HaloBonus keeps your data only as long as necessary for legal, regulatory, and operational purposes. Records are disposed of securely once the applicable retention period ends.

Breach Notification

If a data security incident ever affects your personal information, HaloBonus will notify affected players and relevant authorities in line with applicable obligations and without unnecessary delay.

Full Policy

HaloBonus Privacy Policy – Full Text

1. Who We Are

HaloBonus operates an online gaming and sports betting platform available to eligible players in the Philippines. References to "HaloBonus", "we", "our", or "us" in this Privacy Policy refer to the entity responsible for operating halobonus and processing player data in connection with the services offered through this website.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by halobonus from individuals who visit, register, deposit, wager, withdraw, or otherwise interact with the platform. By using halobonus, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. What Information We Collect

HaloBonus collects personal data when you actively provide it and, in some cases, automatically as you interact with the platform. The categories of information collected include:

  • Identity information: full legal name, date of birth, nationality, and government-issued ID details provided during registration or verification;
  • Contact details: mobile number, email address, and residential address in the Philippines;
  • Account credentials: your halobonus username and encrypted password;
  • Payment data: GCash or Maya account references, bank account numbers, card types, and transaction history — note that full card numbers and PINs are never stored by halobonus;
  • Gameplay and betting records: wager amounts, game selections, bet history, bonus usage, and session durations;
  • Communications: messages sent to the halobonus support team and responses issued;
  • Device and technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, and connection data; and
  • Location signals: approximate geographic location derived from your IP address, used primarily to apply access controls and detect suspicious activity.

Where halobonus requests information beyond the standard account requirements — for example, a selfie alongside a government ID for enhanced verification — the specific reason will be explained at the time of the request.

3. How HaloBonus Uses Your Information

Personal data collected by halobonus is used for the following purposes:

  • Creating, maintaining, and securing your halobonus account;
  • Processing deposits, wagers, withdrawals, and bonus transactions;
  • Verifying your identity and age as required by regulatory and responsible gaming obligations;
  • Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud, money laundering, account abuse, and other prohibited conduct;
  • Sending account communications such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, and promotional information you have opted into;
  • Improving the platform based on aggregated usage patterns and player feedback;
  • Complying with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to halobonus operations; and
  • Delivering and managing VIP Club benefits, personalised offers, and loyalty rewards.

HaloBonus will not use your personal information for any purpose that is incompatible with those described above without your prior consent or a valid legal basis.

5. Sharing Your Information

HaloBonus does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Data may be shared with carefully selected third parties only where necessary and under strict confidentiality obligations:

  • Payment processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, and banking partners process payment transactions and receive only the information needed for that purpose;
  • Game and platform providers: suppliers of casino games, sports data feeds, and platform components may receive pseudonymised or aggregated technical data;
  • Identity verification services: third-party providers that assist with KYC checks and document authentication;
  • Regulatory and law enforcement bodies: when halobonus is legally required to disclose information, including to the National Privacy Commission or other competent Philippine authorities; and
  • Professional advisers: lawyers, auditors, and compliance consultants engaged under confidentiality agreements.

All third parties with whom halobonus shares personal data are required to implement appropriate security measures and to use the data only for the purposes for which it was provided.

6. Payment Information Security

HaloBonus is designed to integrate securely with the payment methods most commonly used by Filipino players, including GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay and PESONet bank transfers, and eligible Visa or Mastercard cards. When you deposit or withdraw, you are typically redirected to the relevant payment provider's own secure environment. HaloBonus stores only the transaction reference, amount, and payment method type — not full card numbers, PINs, or mobile wallet PINs.

All payment-related data handled by halobonus is subject to encryption at rest and in transit. Any suspected payment anomaly or unauthorised transaction should be reported to the halobonus support team immediately so a review can be initiated without delay.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

HaloBonus uses cookies and related technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, maintain your login session, analyse usage, and detect security issues. The main categories in use are:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled;
  • Functional cookies: store preferences such as display settings and language;
  • Analytics cookies: collect aggregated data on how pages are used to help improve the halobonus experience; and
  • Security cookies: assist in detecting and preventing fraudulent or automated activity.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit functionality on the halobonus platform. HaloBonus does not use cookies to deliver advertising for third-party brands.

8. Data Retention

HaloBonus retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Account data is generally retained for the duration of your relationship with halobonus and for a defined period after account closure to meet legal, regulatory, anti-money laundering, and audit obligations. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Transaction records may be retained for longer periods where mandated by financial regulations or ongoing investigations. If you request account closure, halobonus will process your request subject to completing any pending reviews, settling outstanding transactions, and satisfying applicable retention requirements.

9. Your Privacy Rights

As a HaloBonus player, you have the following rights regarding your personal information, consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012:

  • Right to be informed: you are entitled to know what personal data halobonus holds about you and how it is being processed;
  • Right to access: you may request a copy of the personal data halobonus holds about you;
  • Right to correction: you can ask halobonus to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information;
  • Right to erasure: subject to legal and operational requirements, you may request deletion of your data when it is no longer needed;
  • Right to restrict processing: in certain circumstances, you can ask halobonus to limit how your data is used;
  • Right to data portability: where technically feasible, you can request your data in a commonly used format; and
  • Right to object: you can object to processing based on legitimate interest, particularly where your interests and rights outweigh those of halobonus.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the halobonus data privacy team using the details provided in this policy. Requests are typically processed within 30 days. Halobonus may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling a request to protect your account from unauthorised access.

10. Minors

HaloBonus does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals below the age of 18. The platform is strictly for adult players, and age verification is required as part of the registration and KYC process. If halobonus discovers that personal information has been collected from a minor, the account will be closed and the data removed as soon as reasonably practicable. Anyone with concerns about a minor accessing halobonus should contact the support team immediately.

11. Data and Responsible Gaming

HaloBonus uses gameplay data — including wager frequency, deposit patterns, and session duration — to support responsible gaming monitoring. This helps identify activity that may suggest a player is experiencing difficulty and allows halobonus to offer the appropriate tools, such as deposit limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion. This processing is carried out in the genuine interest of player wellbeing and is not used for marketing or profiling purposes beyond responsible gaming objectives. You can access full details on the Responsible Gaming page.

12. Security Measures

HaloBonus implements technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include TLS encryption for all data in transit, encrypted storage for sensitive information at rest, access controls limiting staff access to data on a need-to-know basis, regular security assessments and penetration testing, and monitoring systems designed to detect unusual account activity.

No internet-based system is completely risk-free. Players are encouraged to use a strong and unique password, enable any available two-factor authentication, and report any suspected account compromise to the halobonus support team without delay.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

HaloBonus may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in platform features, applicable law, regulatory guidance, or industry best practice. The updated effective date will appear at the top of the page. Where a change is material, halobonus will take reasonable steps to notify registered players — for example, via a message in your account inbox or a notice on the platform. Continuing to use halobonus after a policy update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with a change, you may request account closure.

14. Contact and Data Privacy Complaints

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise a data right, or wish to raise a privacy concern, please contact the HaloBonus data privacy team at support@halobonus.net. Please include your registered name, account identifier, and a clear description of your request so the team can respond efficiently.

If you believe your data rights have not been respected after raising a concern directly with halobonus, you may contact the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines for guidance and further assistance. HaloBonus takes all privacy complaints seriously and commits to investigating them promptly and fairly.

halobonus

Local flavour, global security standards — that's the halobonus approach to protecting your data.

Security you can feel

Your Account, Your Privacy — Protected at Every Level

A lot of players signing up for an online platform for the first time — especially one that handles real Philippine pesos — want to know that their details are safe. That's fair. At HaloBonus, security isn't a box-ticking exercise; it's built into how the platform actually works.

Every time you log into your halobonus account, every time you deposit via GCash or Maya, and every time you request a withdrawal to your BDO or BPI account, the connection is encrypted. Staff access to player records is strictly controlled, and data that doesn't need to be retained gets deleted on schedule, not left sitting in a database indefinitely.

The halobonus security team also monitors for unusual account activity — things like login attempts from unfamiliar locations or payment patterns that don't match your typical behaviour. If something looks off, the team can flag it before it becomes a problem. You'll be notified if any action is needed on your end.

Your rights matter

Filipino Players Have Real Data Rights Under the Law

The Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives Filipinos genuine rights over their personal information. HaloBonus takes those rights seriously — not just because the law requires it, but because treating players fairly is simply the right way to run a platform.

You can ask to see what data halobonus holds about you, request corrections if something is wrong, and ask for deletion once your account is closed and retention obligations have been met. If you want to understand how a specific piece of information is being used, the data privacy team is reachable at support@halobonus.net and will respond within the legally required timeframe.

Most of the time, your data is being used for one straightforward purpose: running your halobonus account properly. Verifying your identity, processing your GCash deposits, settling your bets, crediting your VIP cashback. That's it. No selling, no profiling for advertisers, no opaque third-party sharing.
