ph948 is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every Filipino player. We process personal information in a manner consistent with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

7.3 KYC and Fraud Prevention Providers
ph948 engages third-party service providers for identity verification, age verification, and fraud detection. These providers process personal data on our behalf under data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than the specific service contracted.
7.4 Technology and Infrastructure Providers
Technical personal data (such as IP addresses and session data) may be processed by cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and platform monitoring providers engaged by ph948. All such providers operate under binding data protection terms consistent with RA 10173 requirements.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
ph948 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform for the purposes of session management, security, and performance analytics. The following categories of cookies may be present on the ph948 Platform:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Platform to function, including session authentication, CSRF protection, and maintaining your logged-in state. These cannot be disabled as they are essential to the delivery of ph948 services.
- Performance Cookies: Used to collect anonymized data about how players navigate the Platform, which pages are visited most frequently, and where errors occur. This data helps ph948 improve Platform performance for Filipino users.
- Functional Cookies: Store your preferences such as language settings, display preferences, and previously entered information to enhance your ph948 experience across sessions.
You may configure your browser to block or delete non-essential cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect the functionality of the ph948 Platform, including your ability to log in and access your account.
Data Security
ph948 implements industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption applied to all data transmitted between your device and the ph948 Platform, including all login sessions, payment transactions, and API communications.
- All stored passwords are processed using one-way cryptographic hashing with salting. ph948 staff cannot read your password in plain text. Password recovery is only possible via OTP sent to your registered Philippine mobile number.
- Access to personal data within ph948's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis, with role-based access controls and audit logging for all data access events.
- ph948 conducts regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration testing of the Platform and underlying infrastructure to identify and remediate security weaknesses before they can be exploited.
- In the event of a personal data breach, ph948 will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and affected players in accordance with the breach notification requirements of RA 10173 and NPC Circular No. 16-03.
Important: While ph948 implements comprehensive security measures, no internet-based system is completely immune to security risks. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own ph948 account credentials. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account.
Data Retention
ph948 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to longer retention periods required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations:

| Technical / Log Data | 90 days (security logs up to 1 year) | Platform security, fraud investigation |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents recovery and re-identification.

Children's Privacy — 21+ Only
The ph948 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and over in accordance with PAGCOR regulations governing online casino gaming in the Philippines. ph948 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
ph948 implements age verification procedures during the registration process to prevent access by underage individuals. If ph948 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, such data will be deleted immediately and the relevant account suspended. If you believe a minor has registered on ph948, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
International Data Transfers
ph948 primarily processes personal data within the Philippines. In limited circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or accessed by service providers operating outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or international payment network operators.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, ph948 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with RA 10173, including contractual data processing agreements that require recipient organizations to maintain data protection standards at least equivalent to those applicable in the Philippines. ph948 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate safeguards.
Amendments to This Policy
ph948 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, NPC guidance, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. Material changes to this Policy will be communicated to registered players via the mobile number or email address associated with their ph948 account at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will be revised each time an amendment is made. Your continued use of the ph948 Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgment of and consent to the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed of how ph948 protects your personal data.
