ph8app Privacy Policy
ph8app respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you hold as a data subject under Philippine law.
Your Privacy at ph8app — The Short Version
These highlights summarise our approach. The full policy below governs your use of ph8app's services.
Data Privacy Act Compliant
ph8app processes all player data in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
We Don't Sell Your Data
ph8app does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes. Any data sharing with third parties is strictly limited to what is necessary to operate the platform and comply with applicable regulations.
SSL-Encrypted Storage
All personal data stored by ph8app is protected using 256-bit SSL encryption. Access controls, firewalls, and regular security audits are in place to safeguard your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your Rights Are Real
As a ph8app player based in the Philippines, you have enforceable rights over your data — including the right to access, correct, delete, and object to processing. ph8app has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to handle all data subject requests promptly.
KYC Data Used Lawfully
Identity documents submitted for KYC verification are processed solely for regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, and account security purposes. ph8app does not repurpose KYC documents for marketing or profiling activities beyond what is disclosed in this policy.
Marketing Opt-Out Available
Receiving promotional communications from ph8app is optional. You can opt out of marketing emails and SMS notifications at any time through your account settings or by contacting ph8app's support team. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use the Services.
1 Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by ph8app ("ph8app," "we," "us," "our") and governs the collection, processing, storage, and disclosure of personal data obtained from individuals ("you," "Player," "User") who access or use the ph8app website, mobile platform, and associated online casino and sports betting services (collectively, the "Services") available at ph8app.cam.
ph8app is committed to processing personal data responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173, "DPA"), its Implementing Rules and Regulations ("IRR"), and any other applicable data protection legislation in force in the Philippines. This Policy is incorporated by reference into ph8app's Terms and Conditions and forms part of the overall agreement governing your use of the Services.
By accessing the ph8app platform, completing the registration process, or otherwise providing personal data to ph8app, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not consent to this Policy, you must not use the Services.
Scope note: This Policy applies to all Philippine-based players accessing ph8app, including players in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and all other regions of the Philippines.
2 Data Controller
For the purposes of the DPA and this Policy, ph8app acts as the personal information controller ("PIC") in respect of all personal data collected from players using the Services. As PIC, ph8app determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed and is responsible for ensuring that processing is carried out in compliance with applicable data protection law.
ph8app has designated a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") to oversee compliance with data protection obligations and to act as the primary point of contact for data subject requests and regulatory enquiries. Contact details for ph8app's DPO are provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

4 How We Collect Personal Data
4.1 Directly From You
ph8app collects personal data directly from you when you: complete the ph8app registration form; submit KYC verification documents through the account dashboard; contact ph8app's support team via live chat or email; make a deposit or request a withdrawal through the ph8app cashier; respond to surveys or promotions; or update your account profile settings.
4.2 Automatically Through Platform Use
When you access and use the ph8app platform, certain technical data is collected automatically through the use of cookies, web beacons, log files, and similar tracking technologies. This includes your IP address, device type, browser information, pages visited, session duration, and clickstream data. Please refer to Section 7 of this Policy for further details on cookies and tracking technologies.
4.3 From Third-Party Sources
ph8app may receive supplementary personal data about you from authorised third-party sources, including: payment service providers (such as GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and UnionBank) in connection with deposit and withdrawal transactions; identity verification service providers used to authenticate KYC documents; fraud detection and anti-money laundering screening services; and game content providers for the purpose of game performance reporting.
5 Purpose & Legal Basis for Processing
ph8app processes your personal data only where it has a valid legal basis to do so under the DPA. The following table sets out the primary purposes for which ph8app processes personal data and the corresponding legal basis:
5.1 Contractual Necessity
Processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and ph8app (i.e., the Terms and Conditions). This covers: account registration and authentication; processing deposits and withdrawals; delivering gaming and betting services; and managing account-related communications. Without this processing, ph8app would be unable to provide the Services to you.
5.2 Legal Obligation
ph8app processes personal data where it is necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including: Know Your Customer (KYC) and identity verification requirements under PAGCOR compliance guidelines; anti-money laundering (AML) obligations under Republic Act No. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended); age verification to ensure compliance with the 21+ requirement; and record-keeping obligations imposed by regulatory authorities.
5.3 Legitimate Interests
ph8app processes certain personal data on the basis of its legitimate interests, where those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights. This includes: fraud detection and prevention; platform security monitoring; improving and personalising the Services; and responsible gaming monitoring to identify and assist players who may be exhibiting signs of problem gambling.
5.4 Consent
Where ph8app relies on consent as a legal basis for processing — principally for direct marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. You may withdraw marketing consent through your account settings or by contacting ph8app support.
6 Data Sharing & Disclosure
ph8app does not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties only to the extent necessary for the stated purposes:
- Payment service providers (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, Coins.ph) — for the processing of deposit and withdrawal transactions;
- KYC and identity verification providers — for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of identity documents submitted during account verification;
- Game content providers and software developers — for the purpose of delivering gaming services and reporting game performance metrics;
- Fraud detection and AML screening services — for the purpose of detecting and preventing financial crime and fraud;
- IT infrastructure and cloud service providers — for the purpose of hosting, storing, and maintaining the ph8app platform;
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities — where ph8app is required by law or by order of a competent authority to disclose player data, including disclosures to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), and the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
All third-party service providers engaged by ph8app are contractually required to process personal data only in accordance with ph8app's instructions and applicable data protection law, and to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
Important: ph8app will never share your personal data with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes without your explicit prior consent.

7.1 What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the ph8app platform when you access the website. ph8app uses both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted). Cookies allow ph8app to recognise your device, maintain your login session, and remember your preferences across visits.

7.3 Managing Cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will impair the functionality of the ph8app platform and may prevent you from logging in or completing transactions.

8 Data Retention
ph8app retains personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by applicable law or regulatory obligation.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.
9 Data Security
ph8app implements a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:
- 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for all data transmitted between your device and ph8app's servers;
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including financial records and KYC documents;
- Role-based access controls ensuring that ph8app personnel can only access personal data necessary for their specific job functions;

Notwithstanding the above, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. ph8app cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data, and transmission is at your own risk. If you have reason to believe your ph8app account has been compromised, please contact our support team immediately.
10 Your Data Subject Rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you are entitled to the following rights in respect of your personal data held by ph8app. These rights may be exercised by contacting ph8app's Data Protection Officer as described in Section 14:
Right to Access
Request a copy of the personal data ph8app holds about you and information about how it is being processed.
Right to Correction
Request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by ph8app be corrected or updated without undue delay.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
Right to Object
Object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or on grounds relating to your particular situation.
Right to Portability
Receive a copy of personal data you provided to ph8app in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Withdraw consent for consent-based processing (e.g., marketing) at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
ph8app will respond to all verified data subject requests within thirty (30) days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, ph8app may extend the response period by a further sixty (60) days, with prior notification to you. ph8app may request proof of identity before processing any data subject request.
If you are unsatisfied with ph8app's response to your request or believe that ph8app is processing your personal data in violation of the DPA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
11 Children's Privacy & Age Restriction
ph8app's Services are strictly intended for adults who are 21 years of age or older in accordance with PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming in the Philippines. ph8app does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If ph8app becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, it will promptly suspend the associated account, delete the personal data collected, and return any deposited funds to the original payment source. Any winnings accrued on an underage account will be forfeited.
If you have reason to believe that a person under 21 has registered an account on ph8app, please notify our support team immediately via live chat or by emailing our Data Protection Officer. ph8app takes underage access to gambling services very seriously and treats all such reports as a high priority.
12 Cross-Border Data Transfers
Some of ph8app's third-party service providers — including game content providers and cloud infrastructure partners — may be located outside of the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to countries or territories outside the Philippines, ph8app will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required by the DPA.
Such safeguards may include standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission, binding corporate rules, or transfers to countries or organisations recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection. ph8app will not transfer personal data to a third country in the absence of appropriate safeguards unless an applicable exception under the DPA applies.
13 Changes to This Privacy Policy
ph8app reserves the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy at any time. Where changes are material, ph8app will provide reasonable notice to registered players via email notification or a prominent in-platform announcement prior to the changes taking effect. The "Effective Date" at the top of this Policy will be updated to reflect the date of the most recent revision.
Your continued use of the ph8app Services following the effective date of any update to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should cease using the Services and may request account closure in accordance with ph8app's Terms and Conditions. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how ph8app protects your data.
