PHPinas is committed to protecting the personal data of every Filipino player on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information PHPinas collects, how it is used, how it is protected, and what rights you have over your own data.
These cards highlight the key principles of the PHPinas Privacy Policy. They are a summary only — please read the full policy below for complete details on how PHPinas manages your personal information.
PHPinas collects only the personal information necessary to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with applicable Philippine regulations. This includes identity details, contact information, payment data, and platform usage records.
PHPinas uses industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your personal data. Player data is stored on secure servers and access is restricted to authorised PHPinas personnel only. We do not sell your data to third parties.
As a PHPinas user, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. You may also object to certain types of data processing. PHPinas will respond to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe.
PHPinas uses cookies and similar technologies to improve platform performance, remember your preferences, and analyse usage patterns. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Essential cookies required for platform operation cannot be disabled.
PHPinas shares your data only with trusted service providers necessary to operate the platform — such as payment processors and identity verification services — and with regulatory authorities when required by Philippine law. We do not sell or rent your personal data.
PHPinas may send you promotional communications about offers, new games, and platform updates. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by contacting PHPinas support. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional or account-related communications.

If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you must not use the PHPinas platform.
PHPinas ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our") operates the online gaming platform available at phpinas.net.

PHPinas processes your personal data on the following legal bases under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and applicable Philippine regulations:
PHPinas may share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers who assist in the operation of the PHPinas platform. These include payment processors (such as GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank), identity verification providers, cloud hosting providers, and customer support platforms. All service providers are contractually required to process your data only on PHPinas's instructions and to maintain appropriate security measures.
PHPinas may disclose your personal data to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive. PHPinas will notify you of any such disclosure where it is legally permitted to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of PHPinas's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. PHPinas will notify you of any such transfer and ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by privacy obligations no less protective than those set out in this policy.
PHPinas does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is shared only as described in this Privacy Policy.
Your Data Stays Protected: Every third party that receives PHPinas user data is bound by strict data processing agreements. PHPinas does not permit service providers to use your data for any purpose other than providing services to PHPinas.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit the PHPinas platform. PHPinas uses cookies and similar tracking technologies — including web beacons and local storage — to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and analyse how the platform is used.
You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the PHPinas platform. For detailed instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.
PHPinas retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.
As a general guide, PHPinas applies the following retention periods:
Where PHPinas is required by law to retain data for a longer period, the statutory retention period will apply. At the end of the applicable retention period, PHPinas will securely delete or anonymise your personal data.
PHPinas implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
While PHPinas takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. PHPinas cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your PHPinas account credentials.
Security Incident Response: In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, PHPinas will notify you and the relevant Philippine regulatory authority in accordance with applicable law and within the timeframes required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines and applicable regulations, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by PHPinas:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact PHPinas support with your request. PHPinas will respond within thirty (30) days of receiving a valid request. PHPinas may request proof of identity before processing a data rights request to protect against unauthorised access to your personal data.
If you are not satisfied with PHPinas's response to a data rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
The PHPinas platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. PHPinas does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The 21+ age requirement is enforced in accordance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations.
If PHPinas becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the age of 21, it will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Any funds held in an account found to belong to a minor will be handled in accordance with applicable Philippine law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on the PHPinas platform, please contact PHPinas support immediately so that the matter can be investigated and resolved promptly.
21+ Age Requirement: PHPinas enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years. Identity verification is conducted on all accounts. Any account found to be held by a person under 21 will be immediately terminated and the matter may be referred to relevant Philippine authorities.
PHPinas primarily processes and stores personal data within the Philippines. Where it is necessary to transfer personal data to service providers or infrastructure located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud hosting or technical support services — PHPinas will ensure that such transfers are carried out in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data.
Appropriate safeguards for international transfers may include contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission, binding corporate rules, or transfers to countries that have been determined to provide an adequate level of data protection.
By using the PHPinas platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the Philippines, subject to the safeguards described in this section.
PHPinas reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, or PHPinas's data processing practices. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page.
When material changes are made to this Privacy Policy, PHPinas will notify registered users via the email address associated with their account and/or by displaying a prominent notice on the PHPinas platform. Your continued use of the PHPinas platform following the publication of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Privacy Policy.
