At phgame, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is built into how we operate. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have as a Filipino player on our platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by phgame when you visit our website, create an account, make a deposit or withdrawal, play games, or contact our support team. It covers data collected through our website at phgame.org and through any mobile experience we provide to Filipino players. By using our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with how we handle your data, please do not register or continue using the platform. We encourage you to read this page in full so you know exactly what to expect from us.
When you register an account with phgame, we collect personal details including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. During the identity verification process, we may also request a government-issued ID such as a Philippine passport, driver's licence, or SSS/UMID card. When you make financial transactions, we collect payment-related information including your bank account details or e-wallet identifiers — though we never store full card numbers on our servers. We also collect technical data automatically when you use our platform, such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us detect suspicious activity, improve platform performance, and ensure a smooth gaming experience for every Filipino player.
phgame uses your personal information primarily to operate and maintain your account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify your identity in line with our regulatory obligations. We also use your data to personalise your experience on the platform, send you important account notifications, and respond to your support enquiries promptly. Where you have opted in, we may send you promotional communications about new games, platform updates, or special offers — you can opt out of these at any time through your account settings. We analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve our platform features and understand how Filipino players interact with our games. We will never use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this policy without first obtaining your explicit consent.
phgame does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes — full stop. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers, all of whom are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. In certain circumstances, we are legally required to disclose personal information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units — for example, in cases involving suspected fraud or money laundering. Any third party that receives your data from us is required to maintain appropriate security standards and is prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond what we have authorised. We conduct regular reviews of our third-party partners to ensure ongoing compliance with our data protection standards.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law and our regulatory obligations. Financial transaction records are typically retained for a minimum of five years following the date of the transaction, in line with anti-money laundering requirements. If you request that your account be closed, we will deactivate it promptly and begin the process of anonymising or deleting personal data that is no longer required for legal or regulatory purposes. Certain data may be retained in anonymised form for statistical and analytical purposes even after your account is closed, as this data cannot be used to identify you. If you have questions about how long specific types of data are kept, you are welcome to contact our support team at [email protected].
phgame uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and analyse how players navigate our platform. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function correctly and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the service. Analytics cookies help us understand which features are most popular and where we can improve the player experience — these are collected in aggregated, anonymised form. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling certain cookies may limit some platform functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or allow external ad networks to track your behaviour on phgame.org. Our cookie practices are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain aligned with current data protection standards applicable in the Philippines.
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols, and sensitive account data is stored using strong encryption at rest. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis, and all staff who handle player data are trained in data protection best practices. We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks before they can affect our players. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with our legal obligations and without undue delay.
As a player based in the Philippines, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. You have the right to request access to your personal data, to ask us to correct any inaccuracies, and to request deletion of data that we are no longer legally required to retain. You may also object to certain types of processing, request that we restrict how we use your data while a dispute is being resolved, and in some cases request a portable copy of your data in a machine-readable format. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] with your request and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We will never penalise you for exercising your data rights, and we are committed to handling all such requests with transparency and respect.
phgame may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, platform features, or applicable Philippine law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players by email or through an in-platform notification. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always aware of how your data is being handled. Your continued use of the platform after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you have concerns about any changes we have made, please contact our support team before continuing to use the platform.
