8.6 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where phpg processes your personal information based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

8.7 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact phpg customer support at [email protected] or through the contact methods listed in Section 13. We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days, as required by Philippine law. phpg may request additional information to verify your identity before processing your request.

9. Minors and Age Verification

The phpg Service is intended exclusively for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. phpg does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 21. If you are under 21, you are strictly prohibited from registering an account or using the phpg platform.

phpg employs age verification procedures during account registration and reserves the right to request government-issued identification at any time to confirm your age. If we discover that a user is under 21 years of age, we will immediately close the account, void all transactions, and forfeit any funds or winnings. We will also delete the minor's personal information from our systems, except as required by law.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's internet usage and to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites.

10. International Data Transfers

phpg primarily operates within the Philippines and stores player data on servers located in secure data centers within the Philippines or in jurisdictions with adequate data protection standards. However, some of our third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processors, game providers) may be located outside the Philippines.

When phpg transfers your personal information to countries outside the Philippines, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:

• Contractual agreements requiring third parties to comply with data protection standards equivalent to those under Philippine law.
• Use of service providers located in jurisdictions recognized by the National Privacy Commission as providing adequate data protection.
• Implementation of technical and organizational security measures to protect data during transfer and storage.

By using the phpg Service, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to third-party service providers located outside the Philippines under the safeguards described above.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The phpg platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications (e.g., payment processors, social media platforms, affiliate sites). phpg is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through phpg.

When you interact with third-party services (e.g., making a deposit via GCash or PayMaya), those services may collect information about you independently of phpg. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their respective privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

Your continued use of the phpg Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how phpg protects your personal information.
