blackscatter Privacy Policy — Your Data, Clearly Explained

1 Who This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who interact with the blackscatter platform — including registered account holders, visitors to the blackscatter website, and anyone who contacts blackscatter for support purposes. It covers data collected through the website, the mobile app (available for Android and iOS), and any communication channels associated with your account.

By using the blackscatter platform, you confirm that you are at least 21 years of age and that the information you provide is your own. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under 21.

2 What Data We Collect

blackscatter collects personal data in order to operate the platform, process transactions in PHP, verify account identities, and provide support. The data we collect falls into the following categories:

We collect only what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal data beyond what is required for identity verification.

3 How We Use Your Data

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

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your blackscatter account, processing login and authentication (including OTP verification), and managing account settings and preferences.
• Identity verification: Completing the KYC process required before financial transactions are enabled. This is a one-time verification that confirms your identity and protects your account.
• Payment processing: Handling PHP deposits and withdrawals through local Philippine banking channels and supported e-wallets. Financial data is used solely to process transactions associated with your account.
• Platform security: Monitoring for fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and abuse of platform features. This includes reviewing account activity patterns and technical data such as IP addresses.
• Customer support: Responding to your queries, complaints, and support requests. Communication records are retained to provide consistent service and for dispute resolution purposes.
• Platform improvement: Analysing usage patterns (in aggregate and de-identified form where possible) to improve the performance, usability, and game library of the blackscatter platform.
• Responsible gaming: Monitoring account activity to support responsible gaming obligations, including identifying patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, and administering self-exclusion and limit settings.
• Communications: Sending account-related notifications, security alerts, and — where you have opted in — information about relevant offers or updates. You can manage communication preferences from your account settings.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that has a significant legal or similarly significant effect on you, beyond the standard account verification and fraud detection processes described above.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

blackscatter processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to provide the services you have registered for — including account management, payment processing, and game access — is necessary to fulfil the contract between you and blackscatter.
• Legal obligation: Some processing — particularly KYC identity verification and financial transaction records — is required to comply with applicable obligations relating to financial transactions and anti-money laundering.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for platform security, fraud detection, and responsible gaming monitoring is conducted on the basis of blackscatter's legitimate interests in operating a secure and responsible platform, balanced against your rights and interests.
• Consent: Where processing is based on your consent — such as marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time through your account settings.

5 Data Sharing and Third Parties

blackscatter does not sell your personal data to third parties. Your data may be shared in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors and banking partners: Financial transaction data is shared with the payment processors and Philippine banking institutions required to complete your deposit or withdrawal in PHP. This sharing is necessary to process the transaction you have requested.
• Identity verification providers: KYC data (ID documents and verification materials) may be processed by third-party identity verification service providers engaged by blackscatter for this specific purpose. These providers are bound by data processing agreements and may only use your data for verification purposes.
• Technology and infrastructure providers: Certain technical data may be processed by cloud hosting, security, and platform infrastructure providers in the course of delivering the blackscatter service. These providers operate under contractual data protection obligations.
• Legal and regulatory requirements: blackscatter may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, court order, or in response to a lawful request by a government authority.

All third parties with whom data is shared are required to handle that data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and only for the specified purposes.

6 Data Security

blackscatter uses industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

• SSL/TLS encryption is applied to all connections between your device and the blackscatter platform — whether you are accessing via browser or the mobile app.
• OTP verification is required for login and for sensitive account actions, providing an additional layer of access control beyond your password.
• Access controls limit internal access to personal data to staff with a legitimate need to access it for the purposes described in this policy.
• Data storage is managed on secure infrastructure with appropriate physical and logical access restrictions.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we implement strong safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact support immediately through your account dashboard.

7 Data Retention

blackscatter retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period after account closure, as required to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

Specifically:

• Account registration and identity data is retained for the duration of your account plus the applicable statutory retention period for financial records.
• Transaction records (deposits, withdrawals, bets) are retained for a minimum period required by applicable financial recordkeeping obligations.
• Support and communication records are retained for the period necessary to handle any related disputes or complaints.
• Technical and log data is retained for security and fraud detection purposes for a limited rolling period.

When data is no longer required for any applicable purpose, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

8 Cookies and Tracking

The blackscatter website and app use cookies and similar technologies to support platform functionality, improve your experience, and for security purposes. The types of cookies used include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — for example, maintaining your session after login. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the platform.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences and settings to provide a more consistent experience across sessions.
• Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, de-identified information about how the platform is used, which helps us improve performance and usability.
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and unauthorised access attempts.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the platform normally.
