Full Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

ph88 is an online entertainment platform operating at ph88.win, serving players based in the Philippines. When this policy refers to "ph88", "we", "us", or "our", it means the operator of ph88.win. We act as the data controller for all personal information collected through this website and its associated mobile experience. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, you can reach our support team via the in-platform help channel or by emailing [email protected]. We are committed to handling your personal information responsibly and in line with applicable data privacy standards in the Philippines.

2. Information We Collect

When you register and use ph88, we collect the following categories of personal information:

• Registration details: Your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number provided when you create an account.
• Identity verification documents: Government-issued ID or other documents required to verify your identity and age in compliance with our obligations.
• Payment information: GCash or Maya account references, bank transfer details, and transaction records. We do not store full card numbers or full e-wallet credentials.
• Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, pages visited, session duration, and in-game activity logs.
• Communications: Records of messages you send to our support team, including chat logs and email correspondence.
• Responsible gaming data: Any deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, or session reminders you set through your account.

We collect only what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. You are not required to provide optional information, but doing so may improve your experience on the platform.

3. How We Use Your Information

ph88 uses your personal information for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your player account and verify your identity and age.
• To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions in Philippine pesos.
• To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities on the platform.
• To provide customer support and respond to your queries or complaints.
• To send you important account notifications, security alerts, and policy updates.
• To improve our platform, games, and services based on aggregated usage patterns.
• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations as an online gaming operator serving the Philippines.

We will only send you promotional communications if you have opted in to receive them. You can withdraw your consent at any time by updating your notification preferences in your account settings or by contacting support.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal grounds: performance of a contract (to provide you with the services you signed up for), compliance with legal obligations (such as anti-money laundering and age verification requirements), legitimate interests (such as fraud prevention and platform security), and your consent where we rely on it for optional communications. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. If you have questions about the specific legal basis we apply to any particular processing activity, please contact our support team.

5. Sharing Your Information

ph88 does not sell your personal data. We may share your information with trusted third parties only in the following circumstances:

• Payment processors: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, and supported bank channels.
• Identity verification providers: To confirm your identity and age as required by our operating obligations.
• Game content providers: Limited technical data may be shared with licensed game studios to deliver gameplay and resolve technical issues.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: Where we are legally required to disclose information, for example in response to a court order or regulatory investigation.
• Service providers: Companies that help us operate the platform, such as cloud hosting, analytics, and customer support tools, under strict data processing agreements.

All third parties who receive your data are required to handle it securely and only for the purposes for which it was shared. We do not allow our service providers to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by law or legitimate business need. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it. If you request account closure, we will process your request promptly, though some data may be retained for the legally required period even after closure.

7. Data Security

ph88 uses industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls limiting who within our organisation can view your data, regular security assessments, and secure storage practices for sensitive documents. While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for notifying us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

8. Cookies and Tracking

ph88.win uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the platform so we can improve it. We use strictly necessary cookies (required for the site to function), functional cookies (to remember your settings), and analytics cookies (to understand usage patterns in aggregate). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. By continuing to use ph88.win, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
