• Third-party sources: We may receive data about you from payment processors (e.g., GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank), identity verification services, fraud prevention providers, and analytics partners, where permitted by applicable law.
• Publicly available sources: In limited circumstances and where relevant to our legal obligations, we may collect data from publicly available sources such as government registries or sanction lists.

4. How We Use Your Data

• Legal and regulatory compliance: To comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, know-your-customer (KYC) obligations, and any other legal requirements applicable to online gaming operations.
• Customer support: To respond to your inquiries, resolve disputes, process complaints, and provide assistance via our 24/7 live chat and email support channels.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming activity for signs of problem gambling, enforce self-exclusion requests, and implement deposit and session limits you have requested.

phbet25 will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first notifying you and, where required, obtaining your consent.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable law requires phbet25 to identify a legal basis for processing your personal data, we rely on the following grounds:

• Contractual necessity: Processing your identity, contact, and financial data is necessary to perform our contractual obligations to you as a registered phbet25 player — including account management and payment processing.
• Legal obligation: Certain processing activities, including KYC verification, AML screening, and transaction record-keeping, are required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory requirements.
• Legitimate interests: We process technical and usage data on the basis of our legitimate interest in maintaining the security, integrity, and performance of the phbet25 Platform, and in preventing fraud and abuse. We have assessed that these legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Where we rely on your consent — for example, to send marketing communications or to use non-essential cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

phbet25 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to assist in operating the phbet25 Platform, including payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, bank partners), identity verification services, cloud hosting providers, and customer support platform operators. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: We may disclose your data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), law enforcement agencies, or other government bodies where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory direction.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections remaining in place.
• Fraud prevention networks: We may share data with industry fraud prevention networks and databases where necessary to protect phbet25 and its players from fraudulent activity.
• With your consent: We may share your data with third parties for any other purpose with your prior explicit consent.

All third-party data processors engaged by phbet25 are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data.

7. Data Retention

phbet25 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.

• Active accounts: We retain your account data for the duration of your phbet25 account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with applicable AML and gaming regulations.
• Transaction records: Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction, as required by Philippine AML legislation.
• Support communications: Customer support records, including live chat transcripts and email correspondence, are retained for up to three (3) years from the date of the interaction.
• Marketing data: Where you have opted in to marketing communications, we retain your contact details for this purpose until you opt out or request erasure, whichever occurs first.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

phbet25 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on the Platform, maintain session security, and analyze usage patterns. The types of cookies we use include:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the phbet25 Platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as secure login session management, language preferences, and access to protected areas of the Platform. These cookies cannot be disabled.
• Performance and analytics cookies: These cookies collect anonymized or aggregated information about how players use phbet25, such as which pages are visited most frequently and where errors occur. This data helps us improve the Platform experience.
• Functionality cookies: These cookies remember your preferences (such as preferred language or display settings) to provide a more personalized phbet25 experience.
• Marketing and targeting cookies: Where you have given your consent, we may use cookies to deliver relevant promotional content. You may withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting our support team.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the phbet25 Platform. Continued use of the Platform without changing your cookie settings constitutes acceptance of our cookie usage.

9. Security Measures

phbet25 takes the security of your personal and financial data seriously. We implement a multi-layered security framework that includes:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and phbet25 servers.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all phbet25 player accounts.
• Regular third-party security audits and penetration testing of our Platform infrastructure.
• Strict internal access controls limiting employee access to player data on a need-to-know basis.
• Continuous automated monitoring for suspicious login activity, unusual transaction patterns, and potential data breaches.
• Secure, encrypted storage of all financial data, with payment card details handled exclusively by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

While phbet25 implements robust security measures, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, phbet25 will notify affected players and the relevant regulatory authority within the timeframe required by applicable law.

You also play a role in keeping your account secure. Please use a strong, unique password for your phbet25 account and never share your login credentials with anyone.

• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.

• Right to data portability: Where technically feasible and legally applicable, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

11. Children's Privacy

The phbet25 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged twenty-one (21) years and above, in accordance with Philippine regulations governing casino-style online gambling. phbet25 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on phbet25 or provided us with personal data, please contact our support team immediately. We will promptly investigate and, if confirmed, suspend the account and delete all associated data without undue delay.

phbet25 employs age verification checks during the registration process and reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any time. Accounts that cannot provide satisfactory age verification will be suspended.

12. Third-Party Links

The phbet25 Platform may contain references to third-party payment providers (such as GCash and PayMaya portals accessed during transactions) and regulatory bodies. Where you are redirected to a third-party website or service, please be aware that phbet25 is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your phbet25 account. phbet25 accepts no liability for the privacy practices or content of third-party platforms.

Your continued use of the phbet25 Platform following notification of any changes constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the revised policy, please cease using the Platform and contact our support team to close your account.
