Your personal information matters. This page explains clearly what phtaya ph collects, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have as a player under Philippine law. No jargon, no runaround — just the facts.
Before you dive into the full policy, here are the core commitments phtaya ph makes to every player regarding your personal information.
Every piece of personal information you provide to phtaya ph is stored with encryption and protected by access controls. Your data isn't sitting in an unsecured spreadsheet — it's handled with the same care we'd want for our own information.
phtaya ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketing companies. The information you share when registering and playing stays with phtaya ph and is only shared where legally required or operationally necessary.
phtaya ph collects personal information on a need-to-know basis. We ask for your name, contact details, and government ID because PAGCOR regulations require it for licensed gaming. We don't fish for unnecessary information beyond what's needed to run your account safely.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have rights over your personal information — including the right to access it, correct it, and request deletion where applicable. phtaya ph makes it straightforward to exercise these rights through your account or by contacting support.
phtaya ph operates in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and the regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission. We have a designated Data Protection Officer responsible for overseeing compliance.
If phtaya ph makes material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify registered players via email and post the updated policy here before the changes take effect. Continued use of phtaya ph after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
phtaya ph is an online gaming and sports betting platform operating at phtayaph.best, licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). We are the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when you register and use phtaya ph.
This Privacy Policy explains how phtaya ph collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data. It applies to all players, visitors, and anyone who interacts with the phtaya ph platform — whether you've created a full account or simply browsed the site.
This policy is issued in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and applicable National Privacy Commission issuances. By registering on phtaya ph or using any part of the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
Quick summary: phtaya ph is legally required to collect certain personal information to operate as a licensed gaming platform in the Philippines. This policy tells you exactly what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
phtaya ph collects the following categories of personal information depending on how you interact with the platform:
phtaya ph does not collect biometric data beyond the ID selfie used for identity matching during KYC verification. We do not collect payment card full numbers — card payments are processed through certified payment gateways that handle card data directly, meaning that number never passes through phtaya ph systems.
Most of the personal information phtaya ph holds about you comes directly from you — through the registration form, the identity verification process, payment method setup, and any communications you send to our support team. You choose what to provide, with the understanding that certain information is required for full account functionality.
When you visit phtaya ph, our systems automatically collect certain technical information — your IP address, the type of device and browser you're using, your operating system, and the pages you visit within the platform. This happens on virtually every website you visit and is standard practice for security and performance monitoring.
When you make a deposit or withdrawal, phtaya ph receives confirmation of the transaction from the relevant payment provider — GCash, Maya, your bank, or other supported channels. This confirmation includes transaction reference numbers and account identifiers, not full payment credentials.
As required under PAGCOR licensing conditions, phtaya ph may use third-party identity verification services to cross-check government ID details during the KYC process. These services are bound by their own data privacy obligations and may only process your data for verification purposes.
phtaya ph uses your personal data for the following purposes, each of which is either legally required or necessary for the operation of your account:
Marketing communications: phtaya ph may send you promotional emails or messages about offers and new features. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account notification settings or by contacting support. Opting out of marketing will not affect service-related notifications.
phtaya ph does not sell your personal information. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
phtaya ph is required to share certain player data with PAGCOR as part of our licensing obligations. We may also be required to disclose information in response to a lawful order from a Philippine court, law enforcement agency, or the Anti-Money Laundering Council. In these cases, we disclose only what is legally required.
To process your deposits and withdrawals, phtaya ph shares necessary transaction information with the relevant payment provider — GCash, Maya, your bank, or other supported channels. These providers are independent data controllers for the payment data they handle.
During the KYC process, phtaya ph may share your identity documents with certified third-party verification services to confirm authenticity. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for verification purposes.
phtaya ph uses third-party technology providers for hosting, security monitoring, and platform operations. These providers act as data processors — they handle your data on phtaya ph's behalf, under contractual data processing agreements that restrict how they can use it.
phtaya ph does not share your personal gaming data or financial history with any advertising network, data broker, or marketing platform.
phtaya ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the platform function correctly and allow us to understand how you use it.
These are necessary for the phtaya ph platform to work. They maintain your login session, remember your bet slip contents, and keep your language and display preferences. Without these cookies, basic platform functions would not work. These cannot be disabled.
phtaya ph uses anonymised analytics data to understand how players navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, where players encounter difficulties, and how long sessions typically last. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual players.
Certain cookies are used to detect suspicious activity and prevent fraud — for example, identifying if the same device has attempted to create multiple accounts. These are part of our security infrastructure and cannot be disabled.
You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of phtaya ph — for example, you may need to log in again on each visit if session cookies are blocked.
Personal data collected by phtaya ph is stored on secure servers. Access is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions — account management, support, compliance, and security teams. All staff with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
phtaya ph implements the following security measures to protect your data:
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, phtaya ph will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by the Data Privacy Act. Affected players will be notified where required by law or where phtaya ph determines notification is in the player's interest.
Your responsibility too: phtaya ph secures your account from the server side, but you also play a role in keeping it safe. Use a unique, strong password and never share your login credentials with anyone. phtaya ph staff will never ask for your password.
phtaya ph retains your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:
After the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be associated with any individual player.
The Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives you specific rights over your personal information. phtaya ph is committed to honouring these rights. Here is what you're entitled to and how to exercise each right:
You have the right to know what personal data phtaya ph holds about you, why we hold it, and how it is used. This Privacy Policy is part of how we fulfil that obligation.
You can request a copy of the personal data phtaya ph holds about your account. Submit a data access request to support@phtayaph.best and we will respond within 15 business days.
If any personal data phtaya ph holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request a correction. Some corrections (like name changes) may require supporting documentation.
You can request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected. This right is subject to legal obligations — data required for AML compliance cannot be deleted before the mandatory retention period ends.
You can object to processing of your personal data for specific purposes — particularly marketing communications. Objections do not affect processing required for legal compliance or contract performance.
You can request your personal data in a structured, commonly used format for transfer to another service where technically feasible. Contact support to discuss a data portability request.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the phtaya ph Data Protection Officer at support@phtayaph.best with the subject line "Data Privacy Request". Include your registered mobile number or email so we can verify your identity before processing the request. We will respond within 15 business days.
phtaya ph is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. The registration process includes age verification checks, and identity documents are verified before withdrawals are processed.
If phtaya ph discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, the account will be immediately suspended, all data will be securely deleted (except where required to be retained for regulatory reporting), and any funds involved will be handled per PAGCOR guidelines on underage gaming.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on phtaya ph, please contact support@phtayaph.best immediately with details so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
phtaya ph's platform does not contain links to third-party websites. The navigation and footer of phtaya ph link only to pages within phtayaph.best. However, if you access phtaya ph through a third-party link — for example, a link shared in a social media group — that third-party's own privacy practices apply to your interaction with them before you arrive on our platform.
Payment providers such as GCash and Maya that you use to fund your phtaya ph account operate their own platforms and have their own privacy policies. phtaya ph is not responsible for the data practices of payment providers, though we do select partners who maintain appropriate data security standards.
phtaya ph may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory requirements, or platform features. When material changes are made, we will:
Minor updates — such as clarifications that don't change the substance of how we handle your data — may be made without direct notification but will always be reflected in the "last updated" date on this page.
Your continued use of phtaya ph after the effective date of any Policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with a material change, you may close your account as described in the Terms and Conditions.
phtaya ph has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy. The DPO is the primary point of contact for all privacy-related enquiries, data subject rights requests, and breach notifications.
For unresolved privacy concerns that phtaya ph has not adequately addressed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC) at www.privacy.gov.ph.
By registering and using phtaya ph, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described here. This consent forms part of your agreement with phtaya ph as referenced in the Terms and Conditions.
