Six Ways ph24 Protects Your Privacy

Privacy isn't a checkbox for us. Here are the six principles that shape how ph24 handles your personal data every single day.

Minimal Data Collection

ph24 only collects what's necessary to run your account, process your transactions, and comply with PAGCOR and Anti-Money Laundering Act requirements. Nothing more.

256-bit SSL Encryption

Every piece of data you send to ph24 — from your login credentials to your GCash reference number — travels through encrypted channels, the same standard used by Philippine banks.

No Selling of Your Data

ph24 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third-party advertiser or data broker. Your data exists to serve your account, not someone else's business.

Strict Access Controls

Only authorised ph24 personnel with a legitimate operational need can access your account data. All staff access is logged, audited, and subject to confidentiality agreements.

DPA 2012 Compliance

ph24 operates in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules, overseen by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

Your Rights, Always Respected

You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. ph24 processes these requests promptly and without unnecessary hurdles.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how ph24 — accessible at ph24.best and operated under a valid PAGCOR license — collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal information of its registered players and website visitors. It is written to comply with Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

By registering an account on ph24, making a deposit, or simply browsing the site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described here.

ph24 takes privacy seriously — not as a legal formality, but as a genuine obligation to the millions of Filipinos who trust us with their information. If you have any questions after reading this policy, our Data Protection Officer (DPO) is reachable at the contact details in Section 15.

Quick note: This policy applies to all platforms under the ph24 brand, including the main website at ph24.best, the ph24 mobile-optimised interface, and any future apps or sub-platforms operated under the same license.

3. How We Collect Your Data

ph24 collects your personal data through the following channels:

  • Direct Submission: When you register an account, complete your KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, or contact support, you provide personal data directly to ph24.
  • Automatic Collection: When you browse ph24.best, our servers automatically log technical data such as your IP address, device information, and session activity. This happens whether or not you are logged in.
  • Payment Processors: When you transact via GCash, Maya, GrabPay, or a bank transfer, the relevant payment provider shares transaction confirmation data with ph24 to verify and credit your account.
  • Third-Party Verification Services: For KYC purposes, ph24 may use third-party identity verification providers to cross-check the documents you submit. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and DPA-compliant data processing terms.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: ph24 uses cookies and session storage to maintain your login state, personalise your experience, and gather anonymised analytics. See Section 9 for more detail.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

ph24 processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Creating and managing your ph24 account and verifying your identity.
  • Processing deposits, withdrawals, and all financial transactions in Philippine Peso (₱).
  • Providing customer support and resolving disputes related to your account or bets.
  • Sending transactional communications — deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, account security alerts. These are not marketing emails and cannot be opted out of while your account is active.
  • Sending promotional emails and notifications about ph24 offers, new games, and events — only with your consent, and with a clear unsubscribe option in every message.
  • Monitoring account activity for fraud, money laundering, and compliance with PAGCOR regulations and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
  • Supporting responsible gaming by tracking patterns that may indicate problem gambling and triggering intervention measures as required by PAGCOR.
  • Improving the ph24 platform through anonymised usage analytics.
  • Complying with any legal obligation or court order requiring disclosure of your data.
Important: ph24 will never use your personal data to make automated decisions that significantly affect you — such as credit scoring or account access — without human review.

6. How We Share Your Data

ph24 does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment Providers: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, banks, and card networks receive only the transaction data necessary to process your specific payment. They act as independent data controllers for their own processing activities.
  • Identity Verification Providers: Third-party KYC services may receive copies of your ID and selfie for the sole purpose of verifying your identity. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
  • Regulatory Authorities: PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government agencies may receive your data when required by law or regulation.
  • Law Enforcement: ph24 will comply with valid court orders, subpoenas, or law enforcement requests for data disclosure.
  • Group Companies: Where ph24 operates as part of a corporate group, data may be shared with affiliated entities for back-office or compliance purposes, subject to the same data protection standards.
In all cases where ph24 shares your data with a service provider, that provider is bound by a data processing agreement that prohibits them from using your information for any purpose beyond the specific service they are providing to ph24.

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

ph24 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. The following general retention periods apply:

  • Account Data: Retained for the duration of your account's active status plus five (5) years after account closure, in line with PAGCOR's record-keeping requirements.
  • Financial Transaction Records: Retained for ten (10) years as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act and related BSP regulations.
  • Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years for dispute resolution and compliance audit purposes.
  • Marketing Consent Records: Retained for as long as you remain subscribed, plus two (2) years after unsubscription to demonstrate lawful processing.
  • Technical / Session Logs: Retained for ninety (90) days for security monitoring, then automatically deleted.

When the retention period expires, ph24 securely deletes or anonymises your data so it can no longer be linked back to you.

8. Security Measures

Protecting your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse is a top priority at ph24. The following technical and organisational measures are in place:

  • Encryption: All data in transit is protected by 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption. Sensitive data at rest — including financial records and ID documents — is encrypted using AES-256.
  • Access Control: ph24 staff access to personal data is role-based and limited to what is strictly necessary for their job function. All access is logged and reviewed regularly.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Available to all players and required for all ph24 administrative accounts. Players are strongly encouraged to enable 2FA.
  • Penetration Testing: ph24 conducts regular third-party security audits and penetration tests to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
  • Fraud Monitoring: ph24's automated systems monitor all transactions and login activity in real time for anomalies indicative of fraud or account takeover.
  • Staff Training: All ph24 employees with access to personal data undergo mandatory data privacy training upon onboarding and on an annual basis thereafter.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ph24 uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies to make the platform work and improve your experience. Here's what we use and why:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These keep you logged in, remember your session preferences, and ensure your balance displays correctly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without breaking the site's functionality.
  • Analytics Cookies: ph24 uses anonymised analytics to understand how players navigate the site — which pages are popular, where users drop off, and how features are used. This data helps us improve the platform. Analytics cookies can be declined without affecting your gaming experience.
  • Security Cookies: Used to detect fraudulent sessions, bot activity, and other security threats. These are essential and cannot be opted out of.
  • Preference Cookies: Remember your display settings, language preference, and other customisations. Optional and deletable at any time via your browser settings.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Clearing cookies will log you out of ph24 and reset any stored preferences.

10. Minors and Age Restriction

ph24 is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect or process the personal data of anyone below this age threshold. If ph24 discovers that personal data has been collected from a minor, that data will be deleted immediately and the associated account will be permanently closed.

If you believe a minor has registered on ph24, please contact our Data Protection Officer immediately at the details provided in Section 15. We take this very seriously and will act without delay.

11. Your Rights Under the Data Privacy Act

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ph24:

Right to Access

Request a copy of the personal data ph24 holds about you at any time.

Right to Correction

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your profile.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your data where it is no longer necessary and no legal retention obligation applies.

Right to Object

Object to processing of your data for direct marketing or where processing is based on legitimate interest.

Right to Data Portability

Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another controller.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

File a complaint directly with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) if you believe ph24 has mishandled your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact ph24's Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 15. ph24 will respond to all valid requests within fifteen (15) business days. Requests may require identity verification before processing.

12. Personal Data Breach Protocol

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms, ph24 will:

  • Notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by NPC Circular No. 16-03.
  • Notify affected players directly via email or SMS as soon as practicable, providing details of what data was affected, what ph24 is doing about it, and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
  • Conduct a thorough internal investigation to identify the root cause and implement measures to prevent recurrence.

ph24 maintains an internal Data Breach Response Team that is activated immediately upon detection of any potential security incident. Response procedures are tested regularly through tabletop exercises.

13. Cross-Border Data Transfers

ph24's primary data infrastructure is hosted within the Philippines. Where certain technical services — such as cloud storage, analytics, or fraud detection platforms — are provided by international vendors, data shared with those vendors is protected by contractual safeguards requiring them to apply data protection standards equivalent to Philippine law.

ph24 will not transfer your personal data to a foreign jurisdiction unless that country provides an adequate level of protection or appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with the DPA's provisions on cross-border transfers.

14. Updates to This Privacy Policy

ph24 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the platforms we use, or applicable law. When material changes are made, we will notify active players via email and display a prominent notice on ph24.best at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of ph24 after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
