What This Policy Covers and Why It Matters

Effective June 2025 — applies to all players accessing ph44 from the Philippines.

1. Information We Collect

When you register and use the ph44 platform, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to operate your account and comply with Philippine regulations. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a government-issued identification document for age and identity verification purposes. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history, which is required to process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos. When you browse the platform, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us maintain platform security, detect suspicious activity, and improve the overall experience for Filipino players. We do not collect any personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information you provide is used primarily to create and manage your ph44 account, verify your identity, and process financial transactions securely. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and security alerts — these communications are essential to your use of the platform and cannot be opted out of. Your gameplay and transaction data may be used internally to detect fraud, prevent money laundering, and ensure compliance with applicable Philippine gaming and data privacy laws. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform performance and improve the features available to players in the Philippines. ph44 does not use your personal information to serve third-party advertising, and we do not sell or rent your data to any external marketing organisations.

3. Sharing of Personal Information

ph44 will not share your personal information with third parties except in the limited circumstances described here. We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — and these partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. We may disclose personal information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts when required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request. In the event that ph44 undergoes a business restructuring or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will never share your personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing or commercial purposes.

4. Data Security

ph44 takes the security of your personal information seriously and implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse. All data transmitted between your device and the ph44 platform is encrypted using industry-standard protocols, and sensitive account information is stored in secured, access-controlled environments. We conduct regular security reviews and maintain internal policies that restrict access to personal data to only those staff members who need it to perform their job functions. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, ph44 will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012. You can also help protect your account by using a strong, unique password and by contacting us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your ph44 account.

5. Your Rights Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012

As a player based in the Philippines, you have specific rights over your personal data under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). You have the right to be informed about what personal data we hold about you, the right to access a copy of that data, and the right to request corrections if any information is inaccurate or incomplete. You may also request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to any legal retention obligations that apply to ph44. If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please contact ph44 using the support email address provided in the footer of this page, and we will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ph44 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support the operation of the platform and improve your experience as a Filipino player. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function correctly — they enable features such as keeping you logged in during a session and remembering your language and display preferences. We also use analytical cookies to understand how players navigate the platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues may be occurring, so that we can make targeted improvements. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, although disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the ph44 platform. We do not use cookies to track your activity across third-party websites or to build advertising profiles.

7. Retention of Personal Data

ph44 retains your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and gaming compliance obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following the closure of an account, in line with regulatory requirements. Once the applicable retention period has expired and there is no longer a legal basis for holding your data, ph44 will securely delete or anonymise your personal information. If you request the closure of your ph44 account, we will begin the process of removing your personal data from our active systems, subject to any mandatory retention periods that apply. We periodically review the data we hold to ensure that we are not retaining personal information beyond what is necessary.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

ph44 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, platform features, or applicable Philippine laws. When we make material changes, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date, and we may also notify you by email if the changes significantly affect how your personal data is handled. Your continued use of the ph44 platform after any changes have been published constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how your personal information is being protected. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or how your data is handled, please reach out to us through the support contact details provided in the footer.
