HOW WE OPERATE

How cafecas Handles Your Account Data

Your account data and payment history are stored under encryption. We retain transaction records — including every PayPal, Venmo, and Play+ movement — for the period required by applicable state regulations. You can request a full export of your data at any time through account settings, and you can request deletion when your account is closed, subject to mandatory retention windows set by law.

Data Retention

We keep transaction records for as long as state regulations require. After that window closes, personal data not needed for legal compliance is removed from active systems on a rolling schedule.

Cookie Policy

We use session and preference cookies to keep your lobby filters, wallet selections, and game history accessible across devices. You can manage cookie preferences from the settings menu without affecting core account functions.

Account Security

Every login triggers an OTP check to the phone number on your account. If you believe your credentials were compromised, use the account lock option in settings — it freezes all activity instantly while we investigate.

Change Requests

To update the name, address, or payment method on your account, submit a request through live chat with a valid government-issued ID. Changes take effect after our verification team confirms the documents.
