goerya Privacy

Our Privacy Commitments
How goerya Protects Your Data
These six cards summarise the principles that guide goerya's approach to your privacy. The complete legal text follows in the sections below — these cards are provided for quick reference only.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
Every data transmission between your device and goerya's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by Philippine national banks. Your login credentials, financial details, and personal information are never transmitted in plain text.
No Selling of Personal Data
goerya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketing companies. Your data is used exclusively to operate your Account, process your transactions, and improve your experience on the goerya Platform. Full stop.
Compliance with Philippine Law
goerya's data practices are designed to comply with applicable Philippine data privacy regulations, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). You have legal rights over your personal data, and goerya is committed to honouring them.
Minimal Data Collection
goerya collects only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not collect data speculatively or build profiles beyond what is required to operate a secure, compliant, and personalised gaming platform for Filipino players.
Player Control & Rights
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by goerya. You can also opt out of marketing communications at any time directly from your Account settings or by contacting our support team — no friction, no runaround.
Secure Data Storage
Personal data is stored on secure, access-controlled servers. Access to your data within goerya is limited to staff who need it to perform their roles. All staff with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive regular data protection training.
