What We Collect and Why

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account on phtaya app, we collect the personal details you provide during registration, including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and preferred payment method. We also collect identity verification documents as required by Philippine regulations to confirm that you are of legal gaming age and that your account belongs to you. During your sessions on the platform, we automatically gather technical data such as your device type, operating system, browser version, IP address, and session timestamps. This technical information helps us maintain platform stability, detect suspicious activity, and improve the overall mobile experience for Filipino players. We may also collect records of your transactions, game activity, and any communications you send to our support team. All information collected is limited to what is genuinely necessary to operate your account and comply with our legal obligations. We do not collect sensitive personal data beyond what is required for account verification and responsible gaming compliance.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information you provide is used primarily to create and manage your phtaya app account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify your identity in line with applicable regulations. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and responses to your support enquiries — we do not send unsolicited marketing messages without your consent. Technical data collected during your sessions is used to monitor platform performance, investigate reported issues, and protect the integrity of our gaming environment. Transaction records are retained to fulfil our obligations under Philippine financial regulations and to resolve any payment disputes that may arise. We may use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform usage trends and improve our services, but this data cannot be used to identify any individual player. Your information is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances. If you have questions about how your data is used, our FAQ page provides additional guidance.

3. Sharing Your Data

phtaya app does not sell or share your personal information with third parties for commercial purposes. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — for example, payment processors who handle your PHP transactions, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers. All such third parties are contractually required to handle your data securely and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if we are legally required to do so. In the event of a business transfer or merger, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, and you will be notified of any such change in advance. We do not share your data with other gaming platforms, marketing networks, or social media companies. Any third party that receives your data is bound by strict confidentiality obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy.

4. How We Protect Your Data

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols, ensuring that your account credentials and payment details are protected during every session. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions, and all staff are trained on data protection responsibilities. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks to our systems. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with applicable law. We also encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phtaya app account and to enable any additional security features available to you. If you suspect any unauthorised access to your account, please contact our support team immediately via the details on our FAQ page.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required by Philippine law and our regulatory obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum period specified by applicable financial and gaming regulations, even after an account is closed. Once the required retention period has expired and there is no longer a legal basis for holding your data, we will securely delete or anonymise it. If you request the closure of your account, we will process your request in accordance with our legal obligations and inform you of the applicable retention period for your records. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time by contacting our support team. We will respond to such requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection law. Our data retention practices are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain proportionate and compliant.

6. Your Rights

As a player based in the Philippines, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections if any details are inaccurate, and to request deletion of your data where there is no longer a legal basis for us to retain it. You may also object to certain types of processing or request that we restrict how we use your data while a dispute is being resolved. If you have provided consent for any specific use of your data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the email address provided in the footer of this page. We will acknowledge your request promptly and aim to resolve it within 30 days, or sooner where possible. We will never penalise you for exercising your data rights, and your account will not be affected by any such request. For more information about your rights under Philippine data protection law, you may also consult the National Privacy Commission.
