Data & Privacy
At 1893, your personal data is handled with care and transparency. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our platform, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have as a member based in the Philippines. We recommend reading this page before registering so you fully understand how your data is managed. If you have questions about any section, our FAQ page is a good starting point.
Last updated: January 2025. This policy applies to all members and visitors of the 1893 platform accessible at 1893.bio.
When you register for an account on 1893, we collect personal information that you provide directly, including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a government-issued identification number for identity verification purposes. This information is required to comply with Philippine regulations applicable to online gaming platforms and to ensure that our platform is only accessible to eligible adult members. During the normal use of the platform, we also collect transaction data including deposit records, withdrawal requests, and bet history, all of which are necessary for account management and regulatory reporting. Technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session timestamps are recorded automatically when you access the platform, primarily for security monitoring and platform improvement purposes. If you contact our support team, we may also retain records of your communications to assist with ongoing or future queries. All information collected is limited to what is genuinely needed to operate the platform and fulfil our obligations under applicable Philippine law. We do not collect data that is irrelevant to the services we provide.
The personal information you provide is used primarily to create and manage your 1893 account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify your identity before activating certain account features. We also use your data to deliver the platform's core services, including sports events wagering, casino-style games, lottery participation, and access to the latest promotions available on the platform. Transaction history and gameplay data may be analysed in aggregate to improve platform performance, identify technical issues, and refine the user experience for members across the Philippines. Your registered contact details, such as your mobile number or email address, may be used to send you account-related notifications, including security alerts, transaction confirmations, and promotional updates if you have opted in to receive them. We do not use your personal data for automated profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects without your knowledge. Data is never sold to third parties for commercial marketing purposes. Any internal analysis we conduct is aimed solely at improving the platform experience for you and other 1893 members.
1893 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to external organisations for commercial gain. However, there are limited circumstances under which your data may be shared with third parties. Payment processors and financial institutions are provided with the minimum transaction data necessary to facilitate deposits and withdrawals on your behalf. We may also share data with identity verification service providers who assist us in confirming the authenticity of documents submitted during account registration or withdrawal processing. In all cases, these service providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. 1893 may also be required to disclose personal information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other government bodies when compelled to do so by law, court order, or regulatory instruction. We will not disclose more information than is strictly required in such circumstances. If you have concerns about how your data is shared, you may contact our support team for clarification at any time.
Your personal data is retained for as long as your 1893 account remains active and for a minimum period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure to comply with anti-money laundering and financial reporting requirements. 1893 employs industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, including encrypted data transmission, access controls, and regular security assessments of our platform infrastructure. While we take all reasonable steps to secure your information, no online platform can guarantee absolute protection against all possible security threats, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account and to keep your login details confidential. In the event of a data security incident that materially affects your personal information, we will notify affected members in accordance with our obligations under applicable Philippine data protection law. Data that is no longer required and has passed its required retention period is securely deleted or anonymised. Our commitment to data security is ongoing and forms a core part of how we operate the platform.
The 1893 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly and to provide you with a consistent experience across sessions. Essential cookies are used to manage your login session, remember your preferences, and maintain the security of your account while you are active on the platform. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or share your browsing behaviour with external ad networks. Analytical cookies may be used internally to understand how members navigate the platform so we can identify areas for improvement. You can manage cookie preferences through your device or browser settings, but disabling essential cookies may affect certain platform functions, including the ability to remain logged in. We do not use fingerprinting or other invasive tracking methods beyond what is necessary to operate the platform safely and efficiently. By using the 1893 platform, you acknowledge that essential cookies are in use as part of normal platform operation.
As a member of the 1893 platform and a resident of the Philippines, you have rights over your personal data under applicable Philippine data protection legislation. You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to request a correction if any of that information is inaccurate or out of date. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records for regulatory compliance purposes. If you wish to object to a particular use of your data or withdraw a consent you previously provided, you can do so by contacting our support team in writing. We will respond to all valid data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe and will keep you informed of the outcome. In cases where your request cannot be fully fulfilled due to legal obligations, we will explain the reasons clearly. We take all data rights requests seriously and are committed to handling them fairly and transparently.
The 1893 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 21, and any account found to belong to an underage person will be immediately suspended and the associated data will be handled in accordance with our legal obligations. During registration, we require members to confirm their age and provide identity documentation to verify eligibility. If a parent or guardian believes that their child has created an account on the platform, they should contact our support team immediately so that the account can be reviewed and closed. Protecting younger users from online gaming platforms is a responsibility we take seriously as part of our commitment to responsible gaming in the Philippines. Our Responsible Gaming page contains further guidance on this matter. We encourage all adults in a household to take care to prevent underage access to their registered 1893 account.
1893 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, updates to applicable Philippine law, or improvements to the platform. When material changes are made, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated and, where appropriate, active members will be notified through their registered contact details. We recommend that you review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates that may affect how your personal data is handled. Your continued use of the platform following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with any revised version of this policy, you should stop using the platform and request account closure before the changes take effect. We are committed to maintaining an up-to-date and accurate privacy policy that reflects how we actually operate. Transparency in data handling is something we consider a fundamental part of the 1893 member experience.
