Last updated: June 2025  |  Applicable to players in the Philippines

1. What Information Do We Collect?

When you register and use phil168, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to operate your account and deliver our services. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, and contact number provided during registration. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history in order to process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos. During identity verification, we may request a government-issued ID or other supporting documents to confirm your eligibility to play. We automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs when you access the platform. This technical data helps us maintain platform security, detect fraud, and improve the overall user experience for players across the Philippines.

2. How Do We Use Your Personal Data?

The personal data we collect is used exclusively for legitimate purposes directly related to operating the phil168 platform. We use your registration details to create and manage your account, verify your identity, and ensure you meet our eligibility requirements. Transaction data is used to process deposits and withdrawals accurately and to comply with financial reporting obligations under Philippine law. We may use your contact information to send you important account notifications, security alerts, or updates about changes to our terms or policies. Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us analyse platform performance, improve game offerings, and optimise the mobile experience for Filipino players. We do not use your personal data for unsolicited marketing without your explicit consent, and we never sell your data to third-party advertisers.

3. When Is Your Information Shared?

phil168 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. 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 bound by strict confidentiality agreements. In cases where we are legally required to do so, we may disclose your information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in response to a valid legal request. If phil168 undergoes a business restructuring or acquisition, your data maybe transferred to the new entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will notify you of any such change that materially affects how your data is handled. Our goal is always to ensure your personal information remains protected regardless of any operational changes at phil168.

4. How Do We Keep Your Data Secure?

phil168 takes data security seriously and applies industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols, ensuring that sensitive information such as login credentials and payment details cannot be intercepted in transit. Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions. We conduct regular internal reviews of our data handling practices and security infrastructure to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, phil168 will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. We strongly encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phil168 account and to never share your login credentials with anyone. If you suspect any unauthorised activity on your account, please contact our support team immediately through the FAQ page.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Data?

We retain your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations. Account information is kept for the duration of your active relationship with phil168 and for a defined period after account closure to meet legal and regulatory obligations. Transaction records are retained for a minimum period as mandated by Philippine financial regulations, which may require us to keep certain records for several years after the last transaction. Technical logs and session data are retained for a shorter period and are used primarily for security monitoring and fraud prevention. Once the applicable retention period has expired, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you. If you request deletion of your account and personal data, we will process your request in accordance with our legal obligations and inform you of any data we are required to retain.

6. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

As a player based in the Philippines, you have specific rights regarding your personal data under applicable data protection laws. You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to receive a copy of that data in a clear and understandable format. You may request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold, and we will update our records promptly upon verification. You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal retention requirements that may prevent us from fully complying with such a request. You may also object to or request restrictions on certain types of data processing, particularly where processing is based on our legitimate interests rather than a legal obligation. To exercise any of these rights, please visit our FAQ page for guidance on how to submit a request. We aim to respond to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe and will keep you informed throughout the process.
