ph78b Privacy Policy

1 Overview

ph78b ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who accesses our online casino and sports betting services at https://ph78b.net. This Privacy Policy describes our practices concerning the collection, use, storage, sharing, and protection of your personal information in connection with your use of the ph78b platform.

This policy is written in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. It also reflects our obligations under PAGCOR's regulatory framework and the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 (RA 9160, as amended).

By registering an account on ph78b, making a deposit, or otherwise using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the ph78b platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.

2 Data Controller

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, the data controller responsible for your personal information collected through the ph78b platform is:

• Brand Name: ph78b
• Website: https://ph78b.net
• Regulatory Body: Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)
• Data Protection Contact: [email protected]

As data controller, ph78b determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data. Where third-party service providers process data on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, KYC verification providers), they act as data processors and are bound by written data processing agreements that require them to maintain standards no less protective than those described in this policy.

3 What We Collect

ph78b collects only the personal data that is necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in this policy. The categories of personal data we process include:

• Platform Improvement: To analyze aggregated, anonymized usage data for the purpose of improving platform features, game recommendations, and user experience. This analysis does not identify individual players.

6 Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph78b relies on the following lawful bases for processing your personal data:

• Consent: For marketing communications and non-essential cookies, we rely on your freely given, informed consent at the time of account registration or cookie preference selection. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Contractual Necessity: Processing necessary to perform our obligations under the Terms and Conditions you accepted upon registration — including account management, transaction processing, and gameplay delivery.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Philippine laws, including PAGCOR licensing conditions, AML obligations, tax reporting, and data retention mandates.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing for fraud detection, platform security, abuse prevention, and service improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and interests under RA 10173.

7 Sharing Your Data

ph78b does not share your personal data with third parties except in the following limited and necessary circumstances:

7.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

We engage third-party service providers who process data on our behalf under written data processing agreements. These include:

• KYC and identity verification providers — to confirm your identity and age as required by PAGCOR
• Payment processors — GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, 7-Eleven, and USDT network providers — to process your deposits and withdrawals
• Fraud detection and AML screening providers — to identify and prevent financial crime
• Cloud infrastructure and hosting providers — to securely store platform data
• Customer support platform providers — to manage live chat and email support operations
• Game content providers — who may receive anonymized session data for RNG audit and RTP verification purposes

7.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

We are legally required to disclose personal data to the following bodies where mandated by Philippine law:

• PAGCOR — our licensing authority, which may request player and transaction data as part of regulatory audits or investigations
• Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) — for CTR and STR filings as required under RA 9160
• National Privacy Commission (NPC) — in the event of a data breach or upon receipt of a lawful NPC order
• Philippine law enforcement agencies — pursuant to a valid court order or lawful legal process

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of ph78b's assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will notify you of any such transfer via email or prominent platform notification prior to its completion.

8 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

ph78b uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the platform to function — including session authentication, security tokens, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your language preferences, display settings, and responsible gaming configurations across sessions.
• Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymized data about how players navigate and use the ph78b platform, helping us identify performance issues and improve the user experience. We use server-side analytics rather than third-party pixel tracking wherever possible.
• Security Cookies: Support our fraud detection systems by fingerprinting device and browser characteristics to identify suspicious login attempts or account takeovers.

You may manage your cookie preferences via your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the platform. You can also update your analytics cookie preferences at any time through your ph78b account settings page.

9 Data Retention

ph78b retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Our standard retention periods are as follows:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with our data destruction procedures. Where anonymization is applied, the resulting data cannot reasonably be used to re-identify you and may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes.

10 Security Measures

ph78b implements technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the risk and sensitivity of the personal data we process. Our security infrastructure includes:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the ph78b platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL). This applies to login, account management, deposits, withdrawals, and all other platform interactions.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our databases — including identity documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Password Security: Player passwords are never stored in plain text. We use industry-standard one-way hashing with salt to store credentials securely. Even ph78b staff cannot retrieve your password.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is strictly limited to ph78b staff who require it for their specific job functions. All internal data access is logged and audited. Staff undergo regular data privacy training.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): ph78b supports 2FA for player account login as an optional but strongly recommended security measure.
• Intrusion Detection and Monitoring: Our platform operates continuous security monitoring with automated alerting for anomalous access patterns, login attempts, and data exfiltration signals.
• Third-Party Security Audits: ph78b engages independent security assessors to conduct periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of our platform infrastructure.

11 Your Rights Under Philippine Privacy Law

As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ph78b. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting us at [email protected]:

We will respond to all verified data subject requests within 30 calendar days of receipt. Complex requests may require an extension of up to an additional 30 days, of which we will notify you in writing. We will not charge a fee for reasonable access requests.

12 Minors & Age Restriction

ph78b strictly prohibits access by persons under 21 years of age, in compliance with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine gaming law. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data belonging to individuals below the age of 21.

All accounts are subject to mandatory age verification as part of the KYC process. A government-issued Philippine ID (National ID, passport, or driver's license) showing date of birth is required before any withdrawal is processed. If we discover or have reasonable grounds to believe that an account belongs to a person under 21, we will:

• Immediately suspend the account pending investigation
• Freeze all funds in the account pending verification
• Delete all personal data associated with the account that we are not legally required to retain
• Report the matter to PAGCOR as required under our licensing obligations

13 Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of ph78b's third-party service providers — including cloud infrastructure, KYC verification, and fraud detection partners — may process personal data outside of the Philippines. When such cross-border transfers occur, ph78b ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations, including:

• Contractual Clauses: Written data processing agreements that bind overseas processors to data protection standards equivalent to those required under Philippine law
• Adequacy Assessments: Transfers to jurisdictions with adequate data protection frameworks recognized by the NPC
• Security Requirements: Mandatory encryption, access control, and breach notification obligations for all overseas data processors

We do not transfer your personal data internationally beyond what is strictly necessary for the service delivery purposes described in this policy. Your core account and gameplay data is stored on servers within or serving the Philippine market.

14 Policy Changes

ph78b may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, or platform features. When we make material changes to this policy, we will:

• Post the revised policy at https://ph78b.net/privacy-policy with an updated effective date
• Send a notification to your registered email address at least 14 days before the changes take effect, for material changes that affect your rights
• Display a prominent notice in your ph78b account dashboard during the notice period

Your continued use of the ph78b platform after the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised policy, you may close your account by contacting our support team before the effective date.

For non-material changes — such as clarifications, formatting corrections, or updates to contact information — we will update the policy without advance notice, though the effective date will always reflect the most recent revision.
