ph796 Privacy Policy
At ph796, the privacy and security of your personal information is something we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect from Filipino players, how we use it, who we may share it with, and the rights you hold over your own information under applicable Philippine law.
How ph796 Protects Your Privacy
These highlights give you a quick overview of our most important privacy commitments. They are a reading guide only — the full policy below governs your relationship with ph796 in all privacy matters.
Data We Collect
ph796 collects only the personal information necessary to operate a secure, regulated online gaming platform — including your name, date of birth, contact details, payment information, and gameplay activity. We do not collect data beyond what is required for platform operation, compliance, and responsible gaming obligations.
Data Security
All personal data stored and transmitted through ph796 is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols including TLS. Access to player data is strictly limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. ph796 conducts regular security reviews to maintain the integrity of your information.
Your Rights Under Philippine Law
As a data subject under the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have the right to be informed, to access your data, to correct inaccuracies, to object to processing, to erasure in qualifying circumstances, and to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
Third-Party Sharing
ph796 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share data only with trusted service providers necessary for platform operation — such as payment processors, KYC verification services, and game software providers — and only under strict data processing agreements that bind them to the same privacy standards we uphold.
Cookies & Tracking
ph796 uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your session, personalise your experience, analyse platform usage, and support responsible gaming monitoring. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.
Marketing Communications
ph796 may send you promotional emails, SMS, or in-platform notifications about bonuses, new games, and platform news — but only where you have provided consent. You can withdraw consent and unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by ph796 ("ph796", "we", "us", "our") and applies to all personal data collected from individuals ("you", "your", "Player") who access or use the ph796 online gaming platform available at https://ph796.net, including all associated pages, subdomains, mobile interfaces, and applications (collectively, the "Platform").
ph796 is committed to safeguarding the privacy of every Filipino player who trusts us with their personal information. This Policy explains in clear terms what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we process it, with whom we may share it, how long we retain it, and the rights you are entitled to exercise over your own data.
This Policy is drafted in compliance with the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as well as any other applicable data protection legislation. By registering an account or using the ph796 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, each of which is available on the ph796 platform and incorporated by reference into the full set of agreements governing your use of ph796.
Data Controller
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Policy, ph796 acts as the personal information controller in respect of all personal data processed through the Platform. This means ph796 determines the purposes and means by which your personal information is collected and used.
Where ph796 engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf — such as payment processors, KYC verification providers, or analytics platforms — those parties act as personal information processors and are bound by data processing agreements requiring them to handle your data only in accordance with ph796's instructions and applicable Philippine law.
For any privacy-related enquiries, data subject access requests, or complaints, you may contact ph796's designated Data Protection Officer using the contact details set out in Section 14 of this Policy.

ph796 collects and processes the following categories of personal data from players registered on or interacting with the Platform:

ph796 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as health data, political opinions, or religious beliefs. If any such information is incidentally disclosed in a support communication, it will not be used for any purpose other than addressing the specific concern raised.
How We Collect Your Data
ph796 collects your personal data through the following methods:
- Direct submission: Information you provide when registering an account, completing KYC verification, making a deposit or withdrawal request, contacting support, or updating your account profile.
- Automated collection: Technical and gameplay data collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies when you interact with the Platform. See Section 8 for full cookie details.
- Third-party sources: Identity and address verification data received from licensed KYC and anti-money laundering (AML) screening providers in the course of verifying your account; fraud risk data received from payment processors.
- Payment providers: Transaction confirmation data received from GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and Visa/Mastercard networks when you initiate deposits or withdrawals.
How We Use Your Personal Data
ph796 uses your personal data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. The primary purposes for which we process your data include:
- Account management: To register, verify, and maintain your ph796 player account, including processing deposits, withdrawals, and bonus claims.
- Identity verification (KYC): To comply with anti-money laundering regulations and to verify that you meet the 21+ age requirement applicable to online gaming in the Philippines.
- Platform operation: To deliver, maintain, and improve the games, features, and services available on ph796, including personalising your gaming experience.
- Responsible gaming: To monitor gameplay patterns for signs of problem gambling, to apply self-exclusion settings you have activated, and to enforce deposit limits you have set on your account.
- Fraud prevention and security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, account takeovers, money laundering, and other prohibited activities on the Platform.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: To comply with obligations under Philippine law, including reporting obligations to relevant regulatory authorities and responding to lawful requests from government agencies.
- Customer support: To respond to your queries, complaints, and disputes, and to maintain records of our communications with you.
- Marketing communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates — but only where you have given explicit consent to receive such communications.
ph796 does not use your personal data to make fully automated decisions that produce significant legal effects without human oversight. Where automated tools are used (for example, in fraud detection), a human review is conducted before any material action is taken against your account.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph796 is required to have a lawful basis for each purpose for which we process your personal data. The legal bases on which ph796 relies are:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our obligations to you under the Terms and Conditions — including account management, payment processing, and game delivery.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with KYC, AML, responsible gaming, and other regulatory requirements imposed on ph796 under Philippine law.
- Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for fraud prevention, platform security, and the improvement of our services, where those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
- Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional personalisation features, where you have freely given, specific, and informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
ph796 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We share personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:
- Payment processors: GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and Visa/Mastercard networks receive transactional data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
- KYC and AML providers: Licensed identity verification and anti-money laundering screening services receive identity and documentation data to complete account verification.
- Game software providers: Third-party game studios and live dealer operators receive anonymised or pseudonymised gameplay session data required to deliver game content through the ph796 Platform.
- Technology and infrastructure providers: Cloud hosting, data storage, cybersecurity, and analytics service providers who support the technical operation of ph796, under strict data processing agreements.
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: Where ph796 is required by law, court order, or regulatory direction to disclose your information, we will do so to the minimum extent required and will, where legally permissible, notify you of such disclosure.
- Corporate transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of ph796's assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Policy.
All third parties with whom ph796 shares personal data are required to maintain the confidentiality of that data and to process it only for the purposes for which it was shared, in accordance with applicable law and their agreements with ph796.

Your Data Subject Rights
As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you are entitled to exercise the following rights in respect of your personal data held by ph796. To exercise any of these rights, please contact ph796's Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 14:

- Right to erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where processing is unlawful. This right is subject to ph796's legal obligation to retain certain data under AML and regulatory requirements.
- Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests, subject to ph796's ability to demonstrate compelling grounds for that processing.

- Right to lodge a complaint: If you are not satisfied with ph796's response to a privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC) at privacy.gov.ph.
ph796 will respond to all verified data subject requests within thirty (30) days of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further thirty (30) days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it within the initial thirty-day window.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your ph796 account credentials and for notifying us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
Minors
The ph796 platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, in accordance with Philippine regulations governing online gambling and casino-style gaming. ph796 does not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
During the registration process, ph796 collects your date of birth and conducts age verification as part of the KYC process to enforce this requirement. If ph796 discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe that an account has been registered by a person under the minimum age, that account will be immediately suspended, all gameplay activity will be voided, and any deposits will be refunded to the payment method used, in accordance with applicable law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered an account on ph796, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or through the contact details in Section 14 so that we can take prompt action.
ph796 operates a strict 21+ only policy. Gambling by persons under the minimum legal age is prohibited and will not be facilitated by ph796 under any circumstances.

ph796 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or platform functionality. When material changes are made to this Policy, ph796 will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification where required.
Your continued use of the ph796 Platform following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes and your agreement to the updated terms. If you do not agree with any change to this Policy, you should discontinue your use of the Platform and may request account closure in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
