Your Data, Your Rights
Welcome to the ph22app Privacy Policy. ph22app operates the online gaming platform at ph22app.app and is fully regulated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). As a data controller under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph22app is legally obligated to handle your personal information with transparency, care, and strict compliance.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the ph22app website, mobile platform, customer support channels, and any other service operated under the ph22app brand. By registering for or using ph22app, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.
This policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gaming page. If you have any questions about how ph22app handles your data, please contact our Data Protection Officer at the address listed in Section 12.
Philippine Data Privacy Act: ph22app processes personal data in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173 and its implementing rules and regulations as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
How ph22app Protects You
Six core principles guide how ph22app collects, uses, and safeguards every Filipino player's personal information.
SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and ph22app is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal records are never transmitted in plain text.
KYC Confidentiality
Identity documents you submit for KYC verification — such as your PhilSys ID, passport, or driver's licence — are stored in an encrypted, access-controlled environment. Only authorised compliance personnel may review KYC files.
Payment Data Security
ph22app does not store full card numbers or GCash/Maya PINs. Payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third-party providers. Your financial credentials never touch our core application servers directly.
No Selling of Data
ph22app does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. Data sharing is limited strictly to service providers, regulatory bodies, and fraud prevention partners as described in Section 5 of this policy.
Your Rights Under RA 10173
Filipino players have the right to access, correct, erase, and object to the processing of their personal data. ph22app has designated a Data Protection Officer and a formal process for handling all NPC-compliant data subject requests.
Minimal Retention
ph22app only retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law. Data no longer needed is securely deleted or anonymised.
Personal Data We Collect
ph22app collects personal data that is necessary to provide you with a safe, compliant, and enjoyable gaming experience. The categories of personal data we collect include:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, government ID number (PhilSys, passport, driver's licence, SSS/GSIS) |

ph22app does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly required for identity verification, anti-money laundering compliance, and responsible gaming obligations. Where sensitive personal information is collected (such as government ID numbers for KYC purposes), we apply enhanced security controls and limit access strictly to authorised compliance personnel.
How We Collect Your Data
ph22app collects personal data through the following channels:
- Direct Submission: When you register for a ph22app account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact customer support, or participate in a promotion, you provide us with personal data directly.

- Third-Party Sources: We may receive identity verification information from KYC service providers, fraud detection and AML screening services, and payment processors acting on our behalf. We may also receive information from PAGCOR or other regulatory bodies where required by law.
- Payment Providers: When you transact via GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, or other supported payment methods, our payment processor partners share transaction reference data with ph22app to confirm successful deposits and withdrawals.
ph22app will never ask you for your password, OTP, or full credit card number via email, chat, or telephone. If you receive such a request, please report it to our support team immediately.

ph22app will not process your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those listed above without obtaining your prior consent or as otherwise required by Philippine law.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph22app relies on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and ph22app (i.e., the Terms and Conditions governing your use of the platform). This covers account creation, payment processing, and game service delivery.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with PAGCOR regulations, AML laws, tax reporting requirements, and other applicable Philippine legislation. ph22app cannot waive these legal obligations at your request.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for ph22app's legitimate interests in preventing fraud, ensuring platform security, and conducting internal analytics — provided these interests are not overridden by your data privacy rights.
- Consent: For marketing communications and certain non-essential cookies, ph22app relies on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Where ph22app relies on consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by updating your account communication preferences or by contacting our Data Protection Officer.
Sharing Your Data
ph22app does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share your personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Payment Processors: We share necessary financial data with payment service providers (GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, Coins.ph, Visa/Mastercard, and USDT TRC20 processors) to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.
- KYC & Identity Verification Providers: We may share your identity documents with third-party KYC service providers to verify your identity in accordance with PAGCOR requirements and Philippine AML regulations.
- Game Content Providers: Aggregated, anonymised game session data may be shared with game software providers to support game integrity, RNG certification, and platform performance monitoring. Individually identifiable data is not shared with game providers without necessity.
- Fraud Prevention & AML Services: We may share data with fraud detection and anti-money laundering screening services to protect the platform and its players from criminal activity.
- Regulatory Authorities: ph22app is required by law to share player data with PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government bodies upon lawful request or as required by our licensing conditions.

- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of ph22app's business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.
All third parties with whom ph22app shares personal data are required to maintain appropriate security measures and to process your data only for the purposes specified in their data processing agreements with ph22app.
Data Retention
ph22app retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Our general retention periods are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period |

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, ph22app will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in a manner that makes re-identification impossible. Where data cannot be immediately deleted due to ongoing legal proceedings or regulatory investigations, it will be retained only until those matters are concluded.
Data Security
ph22app takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure:
- Encryption: All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher. Sensitive data at rest, including KYC documents and financial records, is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. ph22app employees access only the data necessary to perform their specific job functions. All access is logged and audited.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Player accounts support two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an additional layer of security against unauthorised access.
- Penetration Testing: ph22app conducts regular security assessments and penetration testing of its platform to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Data Breach Response: ph22app maintains a formal data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in harm to affected players, ph22app will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within the timeframes prescribed by the Data Privacy Act and its implementing rules.
- Staff Training: All ph22app personnel who handle personal data receive regular training on data privacy obligations, security best practices, and the requirements of RA 10173.
No internet transmission is 100% secure. While ph22app applies industry-leading security measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. You play your part too — use a strong, unique password for your ph22app account and never share your login credentials with anyone.
