5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

5.1 ph565 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We may, however, share your personal data with third parties in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: ph565 works with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the platform — including payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank), KYC verification providers, and cloud infrastructure providers. These parties are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purpose of providing services to ph565.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: ph565 will disclose personal data to Philippine regulatory authorities (including PAGCOR and the NPC), law enforcement agencies, and courts where required by law or where ph565 determines that disclosure is necessary to protect its legal rights or to prevent fraud, money laundering, or other illegal activity.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of ph565's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and your rights in relation to it.
• With your consent: ph565 may share your data with other parties where you have given explicit consent for that sharing.

5.2 Where ph565 shares your data with third parties located outside the Philippines, ph565 takes reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data protection safeguards are in place consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

6. Payment Data

6.1 ph565 takes the security of financial data very seriously. Payment transactions on the ph565 platform are processed through third-party payment processors — including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and cryptocurrency gateway providers. ph565 does not store full credit card numbers, bank PINs, or GCash/PayMaya account passwords on its servers.

6.2 Transaction records — including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, and balance history — are retained by ph565 for the period required by applicable Philippine financial and gaming regulations. These records may be accessed by relevant regulatory authorities upon lawful request.

6.3 ph565 uses SSL/TLS encryption for all financial data transmitted between your device and the ph565 platform. All payment pages are secured and do not expose sensitive financial credentials to ph565's operational staff.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

7.1 ph565 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the ph565 platform to enhance user experience, maintain session state, and analyse platform usage. The types of cookies ph565 uses include:

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the operation of the ph565 platform, including session authentication and security functions. These cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised data about how users interact with the ph565 platform — including pages visited, session duration, and navigation patterns — to help ph565 improve the platform experience.
• Preference cookies: Used to remember your platform settings and preferences between sessions.

7.2 You may control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling non-essential cookies may affect some features of the ph565 platform. ph565 does not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information beyond what is described in this Policy.

8. Data Retention

8.1 ph565 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements under Philippine law.

8.2 As a general principle, ph565 retains account and transaction data for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of account closure or the last transaction, in accordance with applicable Philippine AML and financial record-keeping regulations.

8.3 Where you request deletion of your personal data and there is no overriding legal obligation requiring its retention, ph565 will securely delete or anonymise your data within a reasonable timeframe after confirming the request.

9. Data Security

9.1 ph565 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and ph565 servers;
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including passwords (which are stored as hashed values, never in plain text);
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all ph565 accounts;
• Access controls limiting internal access to personal data to authorised personnel only;
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring of ph565 platform infrastructure.

9.2 Notwithstanding the above, no method of electronic transmission or data storage is completely secure. ph565 cannot guarantee absolute security of your personal data and is not liable for security breaches that are beyond its reasonable control. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, ph565 will notify affected users and the National Privacy Commission in accordance with Philippine law.

10. Your Rights

10.1 Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by ph565:

• Right to be informed: You have the right to be informed of how your data is collected and used — which is the purpose of this Privacy Policy.
• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data ph565 holds about you at any time.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by ph565.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no legal basis for continued retention, subject to ph565's regulatory record-keeping obligations.
• Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
• Right to data portability: You may request that ph565 provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used format for transfer to another service.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You may lodge a complaint regarding ph565's data practices with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

10.2 To exercise any of the above rights, please contact ph565's support team. ph565 will respond to verified data rights requests within thirty (30) days of receipt, or within such extended period as may be permitted by applicable law with prior notification to you.

11. Children & Minors

11.1 The ph565 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and older. ph565 does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. If ph565 becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a minor, it will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account.

11.2 If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 21 has provided personal information to ph565, please contact ph565's support team immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.

12. Third-Party Links

12.1 The ph565 platform may contain references to or descriptions of third-party services, including payment providers such as GCash and PayMaya. ph565 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. When you interact with a third-party service — such as a payment processor — you are subject to that third party's own privacy policy and terms of service.

12.2 ph565 recommends that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with your ph565 account to understand how they handle your personal information.

13. Policy Updates
