At ph698, your privacy matters as much as your gaming experience. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have as a Filipino player under applicable data protection laws.
Six core privacy commitments that define how ph698 handles your personal information — clearly, responsibly, and in line with Philippine data protection law.
Every piece of data transmitted between your device and ph698's servers is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Whether you're logging in from Manila or Davao, your personal and financial information travels securely — always.
ph698 only collects the personal data that is strictly necessary for account management, identity verification, and regulatory compliance. We don't collect data for the sake of it — if we don't need it, we don't ask for it.
ph698 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers or advertisers. Your information is used solely to operate and improve the ph698 platform and to comply with our legal obligations.
ph698 processes personal data in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and the regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Your rights as a data subject are fully respected.
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by ph698. Our support team is available to assist with any data subject requests, and we aim to respond within the timeframes required by law.
ph698 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

The ph698 Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are at least 21 years of age, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations applicable to casino-style online gaming. ph698 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on the ph698 Platform or provided personal data without your consent, please contact our support team immediately at the contact details provided in Section 12. We will investigate and take appropriate action promptly.
🔞 21+ Only: Gambling is not suitable for minors. ph698 is committed to preventing underage gambling and supports the responsible gaming guidelines issued by PAGCOR. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
ph698 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page.

For non-material updates (such as clarifications, corrections, or formatting changes), ph698 will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page without separate notification. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how ph698 protects your personal data.
Continued use of the ph698 Platform following the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should cease using the Platform and contact our support team to close your account.
