ph785 Privacy Policy
At ph785, protecting your personal information is as important to us as providing a secure gaming environment. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and safeguard it, and your rights as a data subject under Philippine law.
How ph785 Protects Your Privacy
ph785 processes personal data in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (R.A. 10173) and PAGCOR's data governance requirements. Here is a quick overview of our core privacy principles.
Lawful Processing Only
We only collect and process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so — your consent, a contractual obligation, compliance with PAGCOR regulation, or a legitimate business interest.
Secure Data Storage
ph785 uses industry-standard encryption, access controls, and secure server infrastructure to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss.
Your Data Subject Rights
Under R.A. 10173, you have the right to access, correct, erase, and object to the processing of your personal data. ph785 provides clear channels to exercise each of these rights.
No Unauthorised Sharing
ph785 does not sell your personal data to third parties. Data is shared only with verified partners necessary to operate our platform — payment processors, KYC providers, and regulators.
Defined Retention Periods
We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this policy, or as required by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Data is securely deleted once retention periods expire.
Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights, ph785 will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within the timeframes required by law.

How We Collect Your Data

- Third-party sources: ph785 may receive identity verification data from licensed KYC/AML service providers, fraud screening data from payment processors such as GCash and PayMaya, and regulatory data from PAGCOR where required by law.
- Publicly available sources: In limited circumstances, ph785 may cross-reference publicly available information (such as PAGCOR exclusion registers) to verify eligibility or investigate suspected fraud.
Why We Use Your Data
ph785 uses your personal data for the following purposes:
- Account management: To create, maintain, and administer your ph785 account, including verifying your identity and age (21+ as required by PAGCOR) and processing your login credentials securely.
- Transaction processing: To process deposits, withdrawals, and bonus claims via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa, and Mastercard, and to maintain accurate financial records.
- Regulatory compliance: To meet ph785's obligations under PAGCOR regulations, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (R.A. 9160 as amended), and the Data Privacy Act of 2012. This includes filing reports with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) where required.
- Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming activity patterns, apply deposit limits or self-exclusion requests, and identify players who may be at risk of problem gambling, in line with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework.

Legal Bases for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules, ph785 relies on the following legal criteria to process your personal data:
- Consent (Section 12(a), DPA): Where you have given your explicit, informed consent — for example, to receive marketing communications or promotional offers from ph785.
- Contractual necessity (Section 12(b), DPA): Where processing is necessary to perform our contract with you — specifically, to provide you with access to the ph785 gaming platform, process transactions, and manage your account.
- Legal obligation (Section 12(c), DPA): Where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, including PAGCOR regulations, the AMLA, and NPC reporting requirements.
- Legitimate interests (Section 12(f), DPA): Where processing is necessary for ph785's legitimate business interests — such as fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Where ph785 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our Data Protection Officer. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
Sharing Your Data
ph785 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes. We share your personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:
- Payment processors: GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa, and Mastercard receive the financial data necessary to process your transactions. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable Philippine financial regulations.
- KYC and identity verification providers: ph785 engages licensed third-party services to conduct identity verification and age confirmation as required by PAGCOR. These providers process your identity documents under strict data processing agreements.
- Regulatory authorities: ph785 is required by law to share certain player data with PAGCOR, the AMLC, the National Privacy Commission, and other competent Philippine authorities upon lawful demand, without prior notice to the player where permitted or required by law.
- Technology and hosting providers: ph785's platform infrastructure, cloud hosting, and security monitoring services are operated by contracted technology partners who process data exclusively on ph785's instructions under binding data processing agreements.
- Professional advisers: Lawyers, auditors, and compliance consultants engaged by ph785 may access personal data on a need-to-know basis and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
ph785 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to operate and improve the platform. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit the ph785 website. Cookies do not contain your financial information or government ID details.
The types of cookies ph785 uses include:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function — for example, maintaining your authenticated session, remembering your currency preference (PHP), and enabling secure login. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting core platform functionality.
- Performance cookies: Collect anonymised information about how players interact with the ph785 platform — such as which games are most visited and how long sessions last. This data helps us improve the platform experience for Filipino players.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences — such as language settings and responsible gaming limit configurations — so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
- Analytics cookies: Used to measure and analyse platform usage in aggregate, helping ph785 understand broad usage trends. Analytics data is anonymised and not linked to individual accounts.
You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to use core ph785 features, including secure login and cashier functionality. ph785 does not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Data Retention
ph785 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active ph785 account and for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements and the AMLA.
- Transaction and financial data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction, as required by PAGCOR and AMLC regulations.
- Communications and support data: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last communication, or longer if related to an unresolved dispute or regulatory investigation.
- Technical and usage data: Retained in identifiable form for up to twelve (12) months, after which it is anonymised or deleted.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your consent and for two (2) years after consent is withdrawn, to demonstrate compliance.
When retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised using methods appropriate to the sensitivity of the data. ph785 conducts periodic data audits to ensure compliance with these retention schedules.
Data Security
ph785 implements comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Our security infrastructure includes:
- Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and ph785 servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Sensitive data at rest — including financial records and identity documents — is encrypted using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
- Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted to ph785 staff and contractors who require it to perform their specific role. All personnel with data access undergo background screening and mandatory data privacy training.
- Infrastructure security: ph785 servers are hosted in secure, access-controlled data centres. Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are conducted by independent security specialists.
- Incident response: ph785 maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a breach affecting your personal data, ph785 will notify the NPC within seventy-two (72) hours and inform affected players as required by the DPA's Implementing Rules and Regulations.
- Secure development: ph785's platform is developed and maintained in accordance with industry-standard secure development practices, including regular code reviews and security patching.
While ph785 takes all reasonable precautions to secure your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for notifying ph785 immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data that ph785 holds about you:
Right to Be Informed
You have the right to be informed about how ph785 collects and processes your personal data — which is the primary purpose of this Privacy Policy.
Right to Access
You may request a copy of the personal data ph785 holds about you, including the purposes for which it is being processed.
Right to Correction
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Some corrections may require re-submission of KYC documents.

You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to regulatory retention obligations.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes or where ph785 relies on legitimate interests as its legal basis.
Right to Data Portability
Where technically feasible, you may request that ph785 provide your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another controller.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact ph785's Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Rights Request." ph785 will respond within thirty (30) days of receiving a verified request, in line with NPC requirements.

Children and Minors
ph785 is strictly an adults-only (21+) platform in accordance with PAGCOR regulations governing online gambling in the Philippines. ph785 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21.
All account registrations are subject to age verification as part of the KYC process. If ph785 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will immediately close the account, void any activity associated with it, and securely delete all personal data belonging to that individual, subject to any mandatory regulatory reporting obligations.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered a ph785 account or provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt corrective action.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
ph785 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, new regulatory requirements from PAGCOR or the NPC, or improvements to our platform. The "Effective Date" at the top of this document will be updated to reflect the date the revised policy takes effect.
Material changes to this Privacy Policy — such as a new purpose for processing your personal data or changes to third-party data sharing arrangements — will be communicated to you via the email address registered to your ph785 account at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect, where technically and practically feasible.
Your continued use of the ph785 platform after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the revised policy, you should close your ph785 account and cease using the platform prior to the effective date.
