Data & Privacy
This Privacy Policy explains how ph578 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of players and visitors at ph578.app. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently, in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and other applicable privacy regulations. By using the ph578 platform, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.
Your Data, Protected
ph578 applies SSL/TLS encryption to all data in transit and uses access-controlled, encrypted storage for personal data at rest. Your name, mobile number, identity documents, and payment details are never stored in plain text and are accessible only to authorised ph578 personnel with a documented operational need.
You Control Your Data
As a ph578 player, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict processing of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time from your account settings or by contacting support. Requests are acknowledged within 72 hours and resolved within 30 days.
No Selling of Personal Data
ph578 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Data is shared with third parties only where necessary for platform operations — such as game providers, payment processors, and KYC verification services — and only under binding data processing agreements.
Data Privacy Act Compliance
ph578 processes personal data in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the directives of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. A designated Data Protection Officer oversees compliance and handles data subject requests and breach notifications.
Defined Retention Periods
ph578 retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Account data is retained for a minimum of five years following account closure for regulatory compliance. Data no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with documented retention schedules.
Marketing: Opt-In Only
ph578 sends promotional communications — including bonus offers, tournaments, and platform updates — only to players who have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time through your account notification settings or by contacting support. Opt-out requests are processed within 48 hours. Transactional communications (e.g., deposit confirmations, OTP codes) are not affected by marketing opt-out.

This Policy is issued in fulfilment of ph578's obligations as a Personal Information Controller ("PIC") under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and its Implementing Rules and Regulations ("IRR").

ph578 is strictly an adults-only platform. The minimum age to register and play on ph578 is 21 years of age, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. ph578 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age.
If ph578 discovers or is notified that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, the account will be suspended immediately, the personal data will be deleted, and any balance will be returned to the payment source used for deposit. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has created a ph578 account should contact support immediately via live chat or at [email protected].
ph578 sends promotional communications — including bonus offers, game launch announcements, tournament invitations, and platform news — only to players who have explicitly opted in to marketing at registration or through account settings. Marketing communications are sent via SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number and, where an email address is on file, via email.
You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by:
Opt-out requests are processed within 48 hours. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your ability to use the ph578 platform or receive transactional communications (OTP codes, deposit and withdrawal confirmations, security alerts, and support responses).

Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, ph578 will also notify you directly without undue delay, via the mobile number or email address registered to your account. The notification will include the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures ph578 has taken or proposes to take to address the breach.
ph578 may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, platform features, or data processing practices. Where changes are material, ph578 will notify you via the platform or via your registered mobile number or email address at least seven (7) days before the updated Policy takes effect.
