phpfamous Privacy Policy – How We Handle Your Personal Data

When you register an account on phpfamous, we collect the personal details you provide directly — including your full name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, and payment account details such as your GCash or Maya number. We also collect information generated through your use of the platform, such as login timestamps, device type, IP address, browser information, and your betting or gaming activity history. This usage data helps us keep your account secure, detect unusual activity, and improve the overall platform experience for Filipino players. If you contact our support team, we may also retain records of that communication to help resolve any follow-up queries. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to operate your account and comply with regulatory requirements. All data collection is carried out in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules. You will always be informed of any significant change to the categories of data we collect.

The personal data we collect is used primarily to create and manage your phpfamous account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify your identity in line with our regulatory obligations. We also use your information to personalise your experience on the platform — for example, to display relevant game categories or to send you account-related notifications such as transaction confirmations and security alerts. Your activity data helps our team monitor for fraud, prevent unauthorised access, and ensure that the platform remains fair and safe for all registered players in the Philippines. We may use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform performance and improve our mobile gaming features, but this data cannot be used to identify you individually. phpfamous does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. We will only send you promotional communications if you have opted in to receive them, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through your account settings. Any use of your data beyond what is described here will require your explicit consent before it takes place.

phpfamous does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes under any circumstances. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their specific function. All third-party partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable Philippine data privacy regulations. In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if we receive a lawful request or are under a legal obligation to do so. If phpfamous undergoes a business restructuring or acquisition, your data may be transferred as part of that process, and you will be notified in advance. We do not share your data with any entity located outside the Philippines unless adequate data protection safeguards are in place and the transfer is permitted under applicable law. You have the right to request information about the specific third parties with whom your data has been shared by contacting our support team.

Your personal data is stored on secure servers with access restricted to authorised personnel only, and all data in transit between your device and our platform is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols. phpfamous applies technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. We conduct regular security reviews and keep our systems updated to address emerging threats relevant to the online gaming environment in the Philippines. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine regulatory authority within the timeframes required by law. Your account is further protected by password authentication, and we strongly encourage you to use a unique, strong password and to enable any additional security features available in your account settings. We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable law, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised. You can request information about our data retention periods by reaching out to our support team at any time.

As a registered player and data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have a number of important rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to access a copy of the data we hold about you, to request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information, and to request the deletion of your data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You also have the right to object to certain types of processing, to request that we restrict how we use your data while a dispute is being resolved, and to receive your data in a portable format where technically feasible. If you believe that your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, simply contact our support team at [email protected] with your request and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We will never penalise you for exercising your data rights, and all requests are handled with full confidentiality. Verification of your identity may be required before we process certain requests to ensure that your data is not disclosed to an unauthorised party.

phpfamous uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and ensure the platform functions correctly across sessions on your mobile device or desktop browser. We also use analytics cookies to understand how players navigate the platform so we can identify areas for improvement — this data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time; however, disabling certain essential cookies may affect the functionality of your account or the platform. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or allow external ad networks to track your behaviour across other websites through our platform. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period to support features like saved login sessions. Any changes to our use of cookies will be reflected in an updated version of this policy, and you will be notified if those changes are material. If you have questions about specific cookies used on the phpfamous platform, our support team is available to assist.

phpfamous may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable Philippine regulations. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players through the contact details associated with their account and update the revision date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you remain informed about how your personal data is being handled. Continued use of the platform after notification of an updated policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the platform and contact support to arrange account closure and data deletion where applicable. Minor clarifications or corrections that do not affect your rights will be updated without separate notification. The most current version of this policy is always available on this page and supersedes all previous versions.
