At phmapalad, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is built into how we operate. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you have over your own data as a player on our Philippines platform. We keep things straightforward so you always know where you stand.
Last updated: 2025. Applies to all users accessing phmapalad from the Philippines.
When you register and use phmapalad, we collect the personal information necessary to verify your identity, process your transactions, and keep your account secure. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a government-issued ID for identity verification as required under Philippine regulations. We also collect your billing and payment details — such as your GCash number or bank account information — solely for the purpose of processing deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos. During your sessions on our platform, we automatically gather technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session timestamps to help us detect fraud and maintain platform security. Gameplay data such as your betting history, game preferences, and session duration is recorded to personalise your experience and fulfil our responsible gaming obligations. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly necessary for account operation and regulatory compliance. All data collection is conducted in accordance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines.
The information we collect from you is used exclusively to operate, improve, and secure the phmapalad platform for all Filipino players. Your identity and payment details are used to verify your account, process financial transactions, and comply with anti-money laundering requirements set by Philippine authorities. We use your contact information — email and mobile number — to send you account notifications, security alerts, and important updates about our services; we do not send unsolicited marketing messages without your explicit consent. Gameplay and session data helps us personalise your experience, recommend relevant games, and identify any patterns that may indicate problem gambling so we can offer timely support. Technical data such as IP addresses and device information is used strictly for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform performance optimisation. We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review. Your data is never sold, rented, or traded to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes.
phmapalad does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or commercial purposes — full stop. We do work with a limited number of trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, including payment processors, identity verification services, and game software providers; these partners are contractually bound to handle your data only as instructed by us and in compliance with Philippine data privacy law. In certain circumstances, we may be legally required to disclose your information to government agencies, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies in the Philippines — for example, in response to a valid court order or as part of an anti-money laundering investigation. Our game content providers may receive anonymised, aggregated gameplay statistics to improve their products, but this data cannot be used to identify you individually. Any third-party service embedded in our platform — such as payment gateways — operates under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review those policies where relevant. We conduct regular due diligence on all third-party partners to ensure they maintain data protection standards consistent with our own. If we ever change our data-sharing practices in a material way, we will notify you in advance through your registered email or an in-platform notice.
As a registered player on phmapalad and as a data subject under Philippine law, you have clear and enforceable rights over your personal information. You have the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time by submitting a request to our support team. You may request corrections to any inaccurate or outdated information in your account, and we will process such requests promptly. If you wish to close your account and have your data deleted, you may submit a data erasure request — subject to our legal obligation to retain certain records for regulatory and anti-money laundering compliance periods. You also have the right to object to or restrict certain types of data processing, including direct marketing communications, and we will honour such requests without penalty. 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. We are committed to responding to all data-related requests within the timeframes prescribed by the Data Privacy Act of 2012. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address listed in the footer of this page.
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS protocols, and sensitive account data is stored using strong encryption at rest. Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to personnel who need it to perform their job functions, and all staff handling personal data are trained on data protection obligations. We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a minimum period thereafter as required by Philippine financial regulations and anti-money laundering laws — typically five years from the date of your last transaction. After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by law. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats and maintain the trust of every Filipino player on our platform.
