Summary: This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how PH85 ("PH85," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards the personal information of users ("you" or "Player") of the PH85 online gaming platform at ph85.xyz. This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines ("DPA"), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By registering an account or using the PH85 platform, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.
PH85 is an online gaming platform operated for the benefit of players in the Republic of the Philippines. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the PH85 website at ph85.xyz, the PH85 mobile application, and any other digital touchpoints operated by PH85.
This Policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions and our Responsible Gaming Policy, all of which govern your use of the PH85 platform. By accessing or using PH85 in any capacity, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.
If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue use of the PH85 platform and contact our support team to request account closure and data handling instructions.
PH85 collects only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. The categories of personal data we collect include:
Note on Sensitive Personal Information: Government-issued ID numbers and biometric data (such as selfie photographs used for KYC) are classified as sensitive personal information under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. PH85 collects this data solely for identity verification and regulatory compliance purposes and applies heightened security measures to its storage and processing.
PH85 collects personal data through the following means:
The majority of personal data PH85 holds is provided directly by you during the account registration process, KYC verification, deposit and withdrawal transactions, customer support interactions, and participation in promotions or surveys.
When you access and use the PH85 platform — whether via web browser or mobile application — certain technical data is collected automatically. This includes your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, pages visited, game sessions played, and session duration. This data is collected through server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies as described in Section 7 of this Policy.
PH85 may receive personal data about you from third-party service providers engaged to assist with identity verification (KYC), payment processing, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance. Any data received from third parties is handled in accordance with this Policy and applicable data protection laws.
In limited circumstances, PH85 may supplement the information you provide with data obtained from publicly available sources, such as public government records, for the purpose of verifying your identity or complying with anti-money laundering obligations.
PH85 uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Identity data, contact data |
| Identity verification (KYC) | Identity data, government ID, biometric data |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Financial data, identity data |
| Providing gaming services and game history | Transaction data, technical data |
| Customer support and dispute resolution | Identity data, communications data, transaction data |
| Fraud prevention and security monitoring | Technical data, transaction data, identity data |
| Anti-money laundering compliance | Identity data, financial data, transaction data |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Transaction data, session data, account data |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Technical data, aggregated usage data |
| Promotional communications (with consent) | Contact data, preferences data |
PH85 does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review, except where required by law or where you have provided explicit consent.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, PH85 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:
Processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and PH85 — specifically, to provide you with access to the PH85 gaming platform, process your transactions, and manage your account. Without this processing, PH85 cannot provide its services to you.
PH85 is required by Philippine law to collect and process certain personal data, including for KYC identity verification, anti-money laundering compliance under Republic Act No. 9160 (as amended), and reporting obligations to regulatory authorities including PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
PH85 processes certain data on the basis of its legitimate interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and improving the quality of its services. Where PH85 relies on legitimate interests, we have assessed that our interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
For certain processing activities — such as sending you promotional communications and marketing materials — PH85 relies on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting PH85 support or updating your communication preferences in your account settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
PH85 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:
PH85 engages trusted third-party service providers to assist with the operation of the platform. These include KYC and identity verification providers, payment processors (including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank), cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, fraud detection and cybersecurity services, and customer support platform providers. All service providers are contractually bound to process your data only on PH85's instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
PH85 may disclose your personal data to Philippine government authorities, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies where required by law or where PH85 has a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the rights or safety of PH85 or its users, or investigate suspected fraud or illegal activity. This includes mandatory reporting to PAGCOR and the AMLC as required under applicable Philippine gaming and anti-money laundering legislation.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of PH85's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and any material changes to this Privacy Policy that result from it.
⚠️ No Cross-Border Transfers Without Safeguards: PH85 does not transfer your personal data outside the Republic of the Philippines unless adequate data protection safeguards are in place as required by the Data Privacy Act and the National Privacy Commission's guidelines on cross-border data transfers.
PH85 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform, personalize your experience, and analyze usage patterns. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit the PH85 website or use the mobile application.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair the functionality of the PH85 platform and may prevent you from accessing certain features. For the mobile application, you can manage tracking preferences through your device's privacy settings.
PH85 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations.
While your PH85 account remains active, we retain all personal data associated with your account, including registration data, transaction history, and game records, to provide you with uninterrupted service and comply with our ongoing legal obligations.
Following account closure, PH85 retains your personal data for a minimum of five (5) years as required by Philippine anti-money laundering regulations and gaming regulatory requirements. After this mandatory retention period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized unless a longer retention period is required by law or is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Copies of government-issued identification documents and other KYC materials are retained for the duration of the mandatory retention period described above. These documents are stored in access-controlled, encrypted storage systems and are accessible only to authorized PH85 compliance personnel.
Dormant Accounts: Accounts with no login activity for twelve (12) consecutive months are classified as dormant. PH85 will attempt to contact you using your registered email address before taking any action on a dormant account. Dormant account balances are handled in accordance with PH85's dormant account policy and applicable Philippine regulations.
PH85 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:
While PH85 takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no security system is completely impenetrable. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials and for notifying PH85 immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by PH85:
You have the right to be informed about how your personal data is collected, used, and processed. This Privacy Policy fulfills PH85's obligation to provide you with this information in a clear and accessible manner.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data PH85 holds about you, including information about the purposes for which it is processed, the categories of data held, and the recipients to whom it has been disclosed. PH85 will respond to verified access requests within fifteen (15) business days.
If any personal data PH85 holds about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request correction. You may update certain account details directly through your PH85 account settings, or contact support for assistance with more complex corrections.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where processing is unlawful. Please note that PH85 may be required to retain certain data for regulatory compliance purposes even after an erasure request, as described in Section 8.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests, though PH85 may be entitled to continue processing where it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
If you believe that PH85 has processed your personal data in violation of the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC). Information about how to file a complaint is available on the NPC's official website.
Exercising Your Rights: To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact PH85's Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in Section 13 of this Policy. PH85 will verify your identity before processing any data rights request to protect against unauthorized access to your personal information.
The PH85 platform is strictly intended for individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. PH85 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
As part of the account registration and KYC verification process, PH85 takes active steps to verify the age of all players. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all associated personal data will be deleted (subject to any mandatory retention obligations), and any funds in the account will be returned to the source payment method after forfeiture of any winnings.
⚠️ If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on PH85, please contact our support team immediately. We will investigate and take appropriate action as a matter of priority.

When material changes are made, PH85 will notify registered players via email to their registered address and/or through a prominent notice on the PH85 platform at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
