5. Sharing Your Personal Data

PHPPub does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data with the following categories of recipients only to the extent necessary:

• Payment processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, Visa/Mastercard — to process financial transactions.
• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC service providers who verify government-issued IDs on our behalf.
• IT and platform service providers: Cloud hosting, security, and software providers who process data under strict data processing agreements.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: Philippine government agencies, law enforcement, and gaming regulators when required by law or court order.
• Business transfers: If PHPPub undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you in advance if this occurs.

All third parties who receive your data are contractually obligated to process it only for the agreed purpose and to maintain security standards consistent with or exceeding our own.

6. Data Retention

PHPPub retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by law. Specifically:

• Account and transaction data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, as required by Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
• KYC and identity verification records are retained for the same five-year minimum period.
• Technical and usage data (logs, cookies) is typically retained for 12 months and then anonymised or deleted.
• Marketing preferences are retained until you opt out or request deletion.

After the applicable retention period, your data will be securely deleted or permanently anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you.

7. Security Measures

PHPPub takes data security seriously and has implemented the following measures to protect your personal information:

• SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Encrypted storage of sensitive data including passwords (using bcrypt hashing) and payment account details.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all players to secure account access.
• 24/7 security monitoring for suspicious activity, unauthorised access attempts, and anomalous transactions.
• Restricted access controls — only authorised PHPPub staff can access personal data, and only to the extent required for their role.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent security professionals.

Despite these measures, no online system is 100% immune to security risks. PHPPub strongly recommends that you also protect your account by using a strong unique password, enabling 2FA, and not sharing your login credentials with anyone.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

PHPPub uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our platform and improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly (e.g., keeping you logged in, maintaining your session). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use PHPPub so we can improve the platform. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings and preferences (e.g., language, display options).
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraud and unauthorised access.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some platform functionality. PHPPub does not use third-party advertising cookies.
