4. How ph797 Uses Your Personal Data

ph797 uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes. We only use your data for purposes covered by at least one lawful basis under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

4.1 Account Operations

Your identity and contact data is used to create and maintain your ph797 account, authenticate your identity at login, communicate account status updates and enable customer support. Without this data, ph797 cannot provide you with a functional account.

4.2 Transaction Processing

Your financial data — GCash number, Maya account, bank details or card information — is used solely to process your deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso. ph797 does not store full card numbers. Card transaction data is handled by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

4.3 Regulatory Compliance

ph797 is legally required to conduct identity verification (KYC) and anti-money laundering checks. This requires collecting and processing identity documents and financial transaction records. We keep these records for the periods required by applicable Philippine gaming and financial regulations.

4.4 Platform Security and Fraud Prevention

Technical data — IP addresses, device identifiers, session data — is used by ph797 to detect and prevent fraud, account takeovers, collusion in card games and other suspicious activity. This processing is in the legitimate interests of both ph797 and genuine players who depend on a secure platform.

4.5 Responsible Gaming Monitoring

Usage data — session duration, bet frequency and amounts, game patterns — is used by ph797 to identify potential indicators of problem gaming. Where patterns suggest a player may need support, ph797 may proactively reach out. This is a welfare obligation ph797 takes seriously.

4.6 Marketing Communications

If you have consented to marketing communications from ph797, we may use your contact data to inform you about promotions, new games and platform updates. You can withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting ph797 support. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect your account access or any other processing based on a different lawful basis.

4.7 Platform Improvement

Aggregated, anonymised usage data is used by ph797 to understand how the platform is used, which games are most popular, where technical issues occur and how the player experience can be improved. This analysis does not identify individual players.

5. Who ph797 Shares Your Data With

ph797 does not sell or rent your personal data to anyone. We share data only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose.

  • Payment processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, banks and card networks receive the minimum data required to process your specific transaction. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and relevant Philippine regulations.
  • Identity verification providers: ph797 uses regulated third-party KYC service providers to verify identity documents. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.
  • Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: ph797 is required by law to report certain transactions and cooperate with investigations by the relevant Philippine gaming regulator, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and other competent authorities.
  • Technology service providers: Hosting, cloud storage and cybersecurity providers that support ph797's infrastructure may process data in the course of providing those services. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that limit their use of your data to what is necessary to provide the service.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of ph797's business, player data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You would be notified of any change in data controller as required by law.
Important: ph797 will never share your personal data with third-party advertisers, data brokers or any party that would use it for purposes unrelated to your ph797 account. Your data is not a product at ph797.

6. Data Retention

ph797 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations.

  • Active account data: Retained for the full duration of your ph797 account. If you close your account, most personal data is deleted within 90 days, subject to regulatory retention requirements.
  • Transaction and KYC records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction or verification, as required under Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
  • Support correspondence: Retained for up to three years to support dispute resolution and quality improvement purposes.
  • Technical and usage logs: Retained for up to 12 months for security monitoring purposes, then automatically deleted or anonymised.
  • Self-exclusion records: Retained indefinitely to ensure that self-exclusion requests are honoured even if a player attempts to re-register at ph797 in the future.

7. Security Measures at ph797

ph797 implements a layered set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

7.1 Technical Safeguards

Access to player personal data within ph797 is restricted to staff who require it for specific operational purposes, and all internal access is logged and auditable.

7.2 Payment Security

ph797 does not store full payment card numbers. Card transactions are processed through PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

7.3 Account Security

ph797 uses secure password hashing, session token management and suspicious login detection to protect your account. We recommend using a strong, unique password for your ph797 account and enabling any additional security features available in your account settings. ph797 will never ask for your password by email, chat or phone.

7.4 Data Breach Response

ph797 maintains an incident response plan for potential data breaches.
