Performance cookies collect anonymous data about platform usage, page load times, error reporting, and traffic analysis to help us improve service quality.

Marketing cookies, used only with your consent, track your interaction with promotional content and advertisements to deliver relevant offers.

6. Data Security Measures

6.1 Technical Security Controls

okgeme implements industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data. All data transmission between your device and okgeme servers uses SSL/TLS encryption (256-bit encryption). Your password is hashed using strong cryptographic algorithms and never stored in plain text. We employ firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and DDoS protection to safeguard our infrastructure. Our database systems implement access controls, encryption at rest, and regular security audits. Financial transactions are tokenized and processed through PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways.

6.3 Organizational Security Policies

Access to personal data is restricted to authorized okgeme personnel who require it for their job responsibilities. All employees undergo security training and sign confidentiality agreements. We maintain incident response procedures for potential data breaches, conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing, implement multi-factor authentication for administrative access, and maintain audit logs of all data access activities.

In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, okgeme will notify you within 72 hours as required by Philippine Data Privacy Act regulations. Notifications will be sent via email to your registered address and may include details of the breach, affected data categories, potential consequences, and steps we are taking to address the incident.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

7.1 Retention Periods

okgeme retains your personal data for different periods depending on data category and legal requirements. Account information remains active for the duration of your account plus five (5) years after closure, as required by PAGCOR regulations. Financial transaction records are retained for ten (10) years for tax and anti-money laundering compliance. KYC documentation is kept for seven (7) years after account closure per banking regulations. Customer support communications are retained for three (3) years. Marketing consent records are kept until you withdraw consent plus one (1) year for compliance documentation. Aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot identify individuals.

Upon deletion request, we will close your account immediately and schedule data deletion after applicable retention periods expire. Some information must be retained longer to comply with legal obligations even after account closure.
