Your Data, Your Rights — the phbet16 Privacy Policy

Registration and Account Information

When you create an account on phbet16, we collect the personal details you provide during registration, including your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number. This information is required to verify your identity, confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old as required under Philippine law, and set up your account correctly. We may also ask for additional verification documents if required to comply with our know-your-customer obligations. Your account details are stored securely and are only accessible to authorised phbet16 staff who need them to manage your account or resolve support queries. You are responsible for keeping your registration information accurate and up to date — if any of your details change, please contact our support team to update your account.

Transaction and Payment Data

When you make a deposit or any financial transaction on phbet16, we collect information related to that transaction, including the payment method used, the amount, the date and time, and the transaction reference. This data is necessary to process your payments accurately, maintain a complete record of your account activity, and comply with financial reporting requirements applicable in the Philippines. phbet16 does not store full payment card numbers or sensitive authentication data — payment processing is handled through secure third-party payment providers who operate under their own data protection obligations. Transaction records are retained for the period required by applicable law and are used only for account management, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance purposes. If you have a query about a specific transaction, our support team can access the relevant records to assist you.

Platform Usage and Technical Data

When you access and use the phbet16 platform, we automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, and the pages or games you interact with during your session. This data helps us understand how players use the platform so we can improve performance, fix technical issues, and ensure the platform works correctly across different devices — particularly on mobile, which is how most Filipino players access phbet16. We may also collect session duration and navigation data to identify any usability problems and to monitor for unusual activity that could indicate fraud or a security issue. This technical data is not used to identify you personally in isolation, but may be combined with your account information where necessary for security or compliance purposes. We do not sell or share this data with third-party advertisers.

How Your Data Is Used

phbet16 uses the personal information we collect for the following purposes: to create and manage your account; to process deposits and other transactions; to verify your identity and age in compliance with Philippine regulations; to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities; to provide customer support; to improve the platform's performance and user experience; and to send you service-related communications. We process your data only where we have a lawful basis to do so — this includes the performance of our contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating a secure and compliant gaming platform. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces significant legal effects without human review. Where we rely on your consent as the basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

When We Share Your Data

phbet16 does not sell your personal information to third parties under any circumstances. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification providers, and technical infrastructure partners — but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services, and subject to contractual data protection obligations. We may also disclose your information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other government bodies where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of phbet16 or other users. Any third parties who receive your data are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and are not permitted to use it for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We will notify you of any material changes to the categories of third parties with whom we share your data.

How We Keep Your Data Secure

phbet16 takes the security of your personal information seriously and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission, access controls that limit who within phbet16 can view your personal data, and regular security reviews of our systems and processes. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security — if you suspect that your account has been compromised, you should contact our support team immediately so we can take action. You also play an important role in keeping your data secure by using a strong, unique password for your phbet16 account and not sharing your login credentials with anyone else. We will notify you promptly if we become aware of a data breach that is likely to affect your personal information.

Your Data Rights Under Philippine Law

As a player based in the Philippines, you have rights over your personal data under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules. These rights include the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used; the right to access the personal data we hold about you; the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data; the right to object to certain types of processing; the right to erasure or blocking of your data in certain circumstances; and the right to data portability where technically feasible. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team with your request and sufficient information to verify your identity — we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We will not charge a fee for handling data rights requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
