Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how 828ph ("828ph," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of users ("you," "your," or "Player") who access or use the 828ph online gaming platform available at 828ph.net and any associated mobile-optimized interfaces.

828ph is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all its players, particularly those based in the Philippines. This Policy is drafted in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the 828ph website, mobile platform, customer support channels, and any other touchpoints through which you interact with 828ph. It should be read together with our Terms and Conditions.

828ph collects personal data that is necessary for the operation of our platform, the provision of gaming services, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The categories of personal data we collect include:

1. Registration Data: Full legal name, date of birth, gender, nationality, residential address, email address, and mobile number provided when you create your 828ph account.

3. Financial Data: Payment method details including GCash account numbers, PayMaya account details, bank account information (BPI, BDO, Metrobank), and transaction history. Note that 828ph does not store full card numbers — payment card data is handled by our certified payment processors.
4. Gaming Activity Data: Game history, bet amounts, win/loss records, session durations, bonus usage, and responsible gaming tool settings.
5. Technical Data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, time zone, and unique device identifiers collected automatically when you access the 828ph platform.

7. Marketing Preferences: Your opt-in or opt-out status for promotional communications, including email newsletters, SMS notifications, and in-platform offers.

828ph processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:

• Account Management: To create, maintain, and manage your 828ph player account, including processing your registration, verifying your identity, and managing your account settings.

• Consent: For certain processing activities — particularly direct marketing communications — 828ph relies on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

828ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards:

• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years in compliance with AMLC reporting requirements and applicable tax regulations.
• Support Communications: Customer support records are retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction, unless a longer retention period is required for dispute resolution or legal proceedings.
• Marketing Data: Marketing preference data and consent records are retained until you withdraw your consent or for three (3) years from your last interaction with 828ph marketing communications, whichever comes first.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, 828ph will securely delete or anonymize your personal data in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.

828ph implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security measures include:

• Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
• Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing of the 828ph platform
• Multi-factor authentication requirements for administrative access to systems containing personal data
• Continuous monitoring of platform activity for suspicious behavior and potential security incidents
• Staff training on data protection obligations and secure data handling practices

While 828ph takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your 828ph account credentials and for notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 828ph:

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) using the contact details provided in Section 13 of this Policy. 828ph will respond to all data rights requests within fifteen (15) business days of receipt, in accordance with NPC guidelines.

The 828ph platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations. 828ph does not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If 828ph becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. All funds held in such an account will be handled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

The 828ph platform may contain links to third-party websites or services, including payment processors and game providers. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the 828ph platform and does not cover the privacy practices of any third-party websites or services that you may access through links on our platform.

828ph is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access in connection with your use of 828ph.

828ph reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made to this Policy, 828ph will notify registered players through one or more of the following methods: a prominent notice on the 828ph platform, an email notification to your registered address, or an in-platform alert.

The date of the most recent revision is always displayed at the top of this page. Your continued use of the 828ph platform following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you must stop using the platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.

We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how 828ph is protecting your personal information.

828ph has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to your personal data or this Privacy Policy, please contact our DPO or support team using the details below.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines if you believe that your data rights have been violated.
