ph88k Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Personal Data

ph88k is the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through the ph88k platform at ph88k.net. As data controller, ph88k determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine law.

For any questions, requests, or concerns related to your personal data, you may contact ph88k through the support channel available within your registered account. ph88k will respond to data privacy enquiries within the timeframe required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

ph88k operates under the applicable gaming licensing framework in the Philippines. Regulatory oversight of ph88k's data processing obligations is consistent with the requirements of both the Data Privacy Act and the conditions of ph88k's operating licence.

ph88k collects personal data in the following categories depending on your interaction with the platform:

ph88k does not collect special categories of sensitive personal data — such as health information, biometric data, or religious or political views — unless this is specifically required by a regulatory obligation and you have been informed accordingly.

ph88k collects personal data through the following means:

• Direct submission — information you provide when creating your account, completing KYC verification, making transactions, or contacting ph88k support.
• Automated collection — technical data collected automatically when you visit the ph88k website or use the platform, including through cookies and server logs. See the Cookies section for more detail.
• Third-party KYC providers — identity verification data may be validated against data held by licensed KYC verification providers that ph88k engages for this purpose.
• Payment processors — when you make a deposit or withdrawal, your payment provider shares transaction data with ph88k to enable processing and reconciliation.
• Referral programmes — if you register through the ph88k Refer a Friend programme, ph88k receives basic referral information from the referring account holder, limited to what is necessary to process the referral.

ph88k does not purchase personal data lists or acquire personal data from data brokers for any purpose.

ph88k uses the personal data collected for the following purposes:

• Account creation and management — to register your account, verify your identity, and enable you to access and use the ph88k platform.
• KYC and anti-money laundering compliance — to verify that you are who you say you are and to meet Philippine regulatory obligations regarding player identification and transaction monitoring.
• Payment processing — to process your deposits and withdrawals through your chosen payment method, including GCash, Maya, bank transfers, and card payments.
• Platform operation — to deliver the games, betting markets, and services you access on ph88k, including sabong streams, sports odds, and casino game results.
• Customer support — to respond to your queries, complaints, and requests submitted through ph88k's support channels.
• Security and fraud prevention — to monitor for suspicious activity, identify potential fraud, and protect the integrity of the platform for all players.
• Responsible gaming — to monitor account activity for patterns associated with problem gambling and to apply or suggest responsible gaming tools where appropriate.
• Platform improvement — to analyse aggregated, anonymised usage patterns to improve the ph88k platform and the experience it delivers.
• Communications — to send you account-related notifications, security alerts, and — where you have opted in — information about ph88k promotions and updates.

ph88k does not use your personal data for purposes beyond those listed above without first seeking your consent or establishing a separate legal basis as required under the Data Privacy Act.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph88k processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Contractual necessity — processing required to register your account, process your bets, and deliver the services you have requested through ph88k.
• Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable Philippine law, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act, gaming regulatory requirements, and data retention obligations.
• Legitimate interests — processing carried out to protect the security and integrity of the ph88k platform, prevent fraud, and improve platform performance, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Consent — processing for marketing communications or optional platform features for which you have given explicit, informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your ph88k account settings or by contacting support.

Where ph88k relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to object to that processing. Details on how to exercise this right are in the Your Rights section below.

ph88k shares personal data with third parties only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this policy. The categories of recipients are:

• Payment processors — GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, bank transfer networks (InstaPay, PESONet), BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard network processors receive the data necessary to process your specific transaction.
• KYC and identity verification providers — licensed third-party providers engaged by ph88k to assist with identity verification receive the specific ID data necessary for that verification process.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities — ph88k is obligated under Philippine law to report certain transactions and provide account information to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), PAGCOR, and law enforcement agencies when lawfully required. ph88k does not voluntarily disclose account data to law enforcement without a valid legal basis.
• Game and platform technology providers — licensed game providers whose technology powers the games available on ph88k may receive pseudonymised session data necessary for game delivery and result verification.
• Cloud infrastructure and hosting providers — ph88k uses third-party hosting infrastructure. These providers process data on ph88k's behalf under data processing agreements that require them to apply appropriate security measures.

ph88k does not share your personal data with marketing companies, data brokers, or any third party for purposes unrelated to operating the ph88k platform. All third-party processors engaged by ph88k are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

ph88k retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal obligations. The main retention periods ph88k applies are:

• Account data — retained for the duration of your active account plus five years following account closure, to meet anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
• KYC documents — retained for five years from the date of verification or the date of account closure, whichever is later, in compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
• Transaction records — retained for five years from the transaction date.
• Support communications — retained for two years from the date of the communication, or for the duration of any dispute resolution process if longer.
• Technical and log data — retained for twelve months from collection, unless a longer period is required for a specific security or compliance purpose.

After the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised aggregate data that can no longer be linked to an individual may be retained indefinitely for platform analytics purposes.

ph88k applies technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security) across all ph88k web and API connections.
• Hashed storage of account passwords — ph88k does not store passwords in readable form and ph88k staff cannot retrieve your password.
• Access controls limiting personal data access to ph88k staff and systems with a legitimate operational need.
• Regular security reviews and monitoring for suspicious access patterns.
• Third-party processors bound by data processing agreements requiring equivalent security standards.

Despite these measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. ph88k will notify affected players and, where required, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) in the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, in accordance with the Data Privacy Act's breach notification requirements.

Your own security practices also matter. Use a strong, unique password for your ph88k account. Do not share your login credentials with anyone. If you receive any communication claiming to be from ph88k that asks for your password or one-time code, do not respond — ph88k will never ask for this through any external channel.

ph88k uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website and platform. A cookie is a small file stored on your device that allows the platform to remember certain information about your session or preferences.

The types of cookies ph88k uses are:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the ph88k platform to function. These include session management cookies that keep you logged in during your visit. You cannot opt out of these without also being unable to use the platform.
• Functional cookies — remember your preferences such as language settings and platform layout choices to improve your experience.
• Analytics cookies — collect anonymised data about how players interact with the ph88k platform to help ph88k identify areas for improvement. This data does not identify you individually.

ph88k does not use cookies to serve advertising from third-party advertising networks. By using ph88k you consent to the use of cookies as described here. You may manage cookie settings through your browser, though disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to use the platform.

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by ph88k:

To exercise any of these rights, contact ph88k through the support channel in your registered account. ph88k will verify your identity before processing any data rights request and will respond within the timeframe required under the Data Privacy Act. There is no charge for submitting a data rights request in most circumstances.

If you are not satisfied with ph88k's response to a data rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. The NPC's contact information and complaint process are available on the NPC's official government website.

ph88k is strictly for adults who meet the applicable legal age requirements for online gaming in the Philippines. ph88k does not knowingly collect or process personal data from minors.

Age verification is part of the ph88k KYC process. If ph88k discovers at any point that a registered account belongs to a minor, the account will be immediately closed, all associated bets will be voided, and any balance will be held pending investigation as required under applicable regulatory obligations. The personal data associated with the account will be handled in accordance with the legal obligations applicable to data collected from underage individuals.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered a ph88k account, contact ph88k support immediately through the contact channel in this policy. ph88k takes these reports seriously and will act promptly.

ph88k may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, legal obligations, or data processing practices. When material changes are made — that is, changes that affect how your personal data is used or your rights as a data subject — ph88k will notify you by email to your registered address before the changes take effect.

Minor updates such as corrections, clarifications, or formatting changes that do not affect the substance of the policy may be made without direct notification, but the revised policy with an updated "last updated" date will always be available on this page.

Continuing to use ph88k after a notified policy update has taken effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with the updated Privacy Policy, you may close your account by contacting ph88k support. ph88k will handle the closure and any remaining balance in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

Questions about this Privacy Policy or ph88k's data practices can be directed to ph88k support through the in-platform contact channel available in your account. We will do our best to answer clearly and promptly.
