blackscatter Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how blackscatter ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data from players who use the blackscatter platform at blackscatter.vu and any associated mobile applications.

By creating an account or using the blackscatter platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. We are committed to handling your personal data responsibly and in a manner consistent with applicable data protection principles.

This policy applies to all players regardless of where in the Philippines they are accessing the platform from — whether that's Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, or elsewhere.

We collect personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, data generated by your use of the platform, and data received from payment providers to verify transactions.

We do not collect credit card numbers, debit card numbers, or cryptocurrency wallet addresses — these payment methods are not used on the blackscatter platform.

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

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your player account, processing login authentication, and enabling OTP security verification.
• Transaction processing: Facilitating PHP deposits and withdrawals through your chosen Philippine bank transfer or e-wallet channel.
• Identity verification: Confirming your identity through the KYC process to comply with anti-money laundering requirements and to enable withdrawal access.
• Platform security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, and abuse of platform features.
• Responsible gaming: Monitoring for patterns that may indicate problem gambling, and enforcing deposit limits or self-exclusion requests made by the account holder.
• Platform analytics: Understanding how players use blackscatter to improve performance, game availability, and the overall user experience.
• Legal compliance: Retaining records as required by applicable financial and anti-money laundering regulations.

blackscatter does not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. We may share limited data with trusted service providers under strict conditions:

• Payment processors: Transaction data is shared with your chosen Philippine bank or e-wallet service to execute deposits and withdrawals. This is limited to what is necessary to complete the transaction.
• Identity verification providers: KYC documentation may be processed by a third-party identity verification service. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purpose of verification.
• Platform infrastructure providers: Hosting, database, and security infrastructure providers may process data as part of delivering the platform. These are governed by data processing agreements.
• Legal and regulatory requirements: We may disclose data to relevant authorities where required by law, court order, or regulatory obligation.

In all cases, data sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary for the stated purpose. No personal data is transferred for marketing or commercial use by any third party.

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to comply with applicable legal obligations. The general retention guidelines are:

• Active account data: Retained for the full duration that the account remains active.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction, as required for financial record-keeping and AML compliance.
• KYC documents: Retained for the duration of the account relationship and for a period afterwards as required by applicable regulations.
• Closed or suspended accounts: Core account and transaction data is retained for the legally required period after closure. Non-essential data is deleted on account closure.

When data is no longer required and no legal obligation applies, it is deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to an individual.

blackscatter uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

• Session cookies: Keep you logged in during an active session. These are deleted when you close your browser.
• Security cookies: Help detect suspicious login activity and protect against unauthorised access.
• Analytics cookies: Gather aggregate, anonymous data on how the platform is used — page visits, session duration, and feature usage — to help us improve the experience.

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party cookies designed to track you across other websites. You can manage cookie settings through your browser, though disabling session cookies will prevent you from staying logged in.

As a blackscatter player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data in your account.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements. Contact support to initiate this.
• Restriction: You may ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Objection: You may object to the processing of your data where our basis for processing is legitimate interest.
• Data portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the blackscatter support team at the email address shown in the footer of this page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days. Some requests may require identity verification before they can be actioned.

blackscatter uses appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse:

• SSL/TLS encryption on all data in transit between your device and our servers.
• Encrypted storage of sensitive account and identity data at rest.
• OTP (one-time password) verification available for login and sensitive account actions.
• Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need.
• Regular security reviews of platform infrastructure and access controls.

No system is completely immune to risk. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, blackscatter will notify affected players and take steps to contain and address the incident as quickly as possible.

blackscatter may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Where changes are material, we will notify players through the platform before the changes take effect. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Continued use of the platform after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically, especially if you have concerns about how your data is handled.

For questions about this policy or how your data is being used, contact the support team at the email address in the footer. For account-related concerns, log in and use the in-app support options. For matters covered under the Terms and Conditions, refer to the Terms & Conditions page.
