ph659 takes the privacy and security of your personal information seriously. This Policy describes how ph659 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data in connection with your use of the ph659 online gaming platform, including all games, payment services, customer support interactions, and promotional activities available through ph659.org.
This Policy applies to all natural persons who register a ph659 account, visit ph659.org without registering, or otherwise interact with ph659's digital services. It applies to data collected through the ph659 website, mobile browser interface, and any other channel through which ph659 communicates with or provides services to you.
ph659 processes personal data in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the PAGCOR regulatory framework, and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (Republic Act No. 9160, as amended). These laws define ph659's obligations as a personal information controller and your rights as a data subject.
The personal information controller for all data collected through ph659.org is ph659, the operator of the ph659 online gaming platform. ph659 operates under the PAGCOR regulatory framework and is subject to oversight by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation with respect to data handling obligations connected to licensed gaming activities.
ph659 has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 and this Policy. Contact details for the ph659 DPO are provided in Section 15 of this Policy.
ph659 collects personal data in the following categories, depending on how you interact with the platform:
| Category | Specific Data Points | Collection Method |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, gender | Registration form; KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Philippine mobile number, email address (if provided) | Registration form; account settings |
| Government ID Data | ID type, ID number, ID image (front and back) | KYC document upload |
| Financial Data | GCash number, bank account details (for withdrawal), deposit and withdrawal amounts, transaction timestamps | Payment processing; transaction records |
| Gameplay Data | Game sessions, bets placed, wins and losses, game history | Automated platform logging |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, session timestamps | Automated collection on platform access |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support ticket content, SMS and email correspondence | Customer support interactions |

ph659 does not collect special categories of sensitive personal data — such as health information, religious beliefs, or political opinions — except where specifically required by law (for example, information relevant to a responsible gaming self-exclusion request).
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph659 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:
ph659 uses your personal data for the following specific purposes:
ph659 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers. ph659 shares personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
The ph659 platform is designed to serve Filipino residents and is primarily operated with data infrastructure serving the Philippine market. However, some third-party service providers engaged by ph659 — including certain game software providers and technical infrastructure partners — may process data in countries outside the Philippines.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, ph659 ensures that such transfers are subject to contractual data protection obligations that require the recipient to apply protection standards equivalent to those required by Republic Act No. 10173. ph659 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without appropriate safeguards in place.
ph659 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, and for as long as is required by applicable Philippine law. The following minimum retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | PAGCOR regulations; AMLA |
| Financial transaction records | Minimum 5 years from transaction date | AMLA (RA 9160 as amended) |
| KYC / government ID data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | PAGCOR KYC requirements |
| Gameplay logs | Duration of account + 2 years post-closure | PAGCOR; ph659 platform integrity |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from the date of the communication | Dispute resolution; legal proceedings |
| Marketing consent records | Duration of consent + 3 years after withdrawal | NPC consent record-keeping requirements |
Upon expiry of the relevant retention period, ph659 will securely delete or anonymize personal data in accordance with its data disposal procedures. Anonymized data that can no longer identify you may be retained for statistical and analytical purposes without a defined retention limit.
ph659 implements technical, organizational, and physical security measures appropriate to the sensitivity and volume of personal data it processes. These measures include, but are not limited to:
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ph659. These rights may be exercised by contacting the ph659 Data Protection Officer using the contact details in Section 15.
Request a copy of the personal data ph659 holds about you, information on how it is being used, and details of any third parties it has been shared with.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your ph659 account records. Some corrections may require supporting documentation.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose collected, subject to legal retention obligations under PAGCOR and AMLA.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests — in particular, to processing for direct marketing and profiling purposes.
Request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for personal use or transfer to another controller.
Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.
ph659 will respond to substantiated data rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, ph659 may extend this period by a further thirty (30) days, with written notification of the extension and the reasons for it. ph659 will not charge a fee for exercising your data rights in standard circumstances.
ph659 strictly prohibits the use of its platform by persons under the age of 21 years, consistent with PAGCOR regulations governing the minimum age for casino-style gambling in the Philippines.
ph659 does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under 21 years of age. Age verification is conducted as part of the registration and KYC processes. If ph659 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, that data will be deleted and the account will be closed immediately in accordance with the ph659 Terms & Conditions.
If you believe that a person under 21 has created a ph659 account or provided personal data to ph659, please notify the ph659 Data Protection Officer immediately using the contact details in Section 15.
ph659 may send promotional communications including information about new games, bonus offers, and platform promotions to players who have provided consent to receive such communications at the time of registration or through their account settings.
You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, OTP messages, and security alerts — which are required for the operation of your ph659 account and cannot be disabled while your account is active.
ph659 does not send marketing communications on behalf of third parties and does not share your contact details with third-party marketers.
ph659 may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in data processing practices, applicable law, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. The Effective Date at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version became operative.
Where amendments are material — that is, where they significantly affect how ph659 collects, uses, or shares your personal data — ph659 will notify you via SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number prior to the changes taking effect. Non-material clarifications may be updated without prior individual notice, though the updated Policy will always be available at ph659.org/privacy-policy.
Your continued use of the ph659 platform following notification of a material amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not accept the amended Policy, you must close your ph659 account before the amendments take effect.
For any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the personal data ph659 holds about you, please contact ph659's Data Protection Officer through the following channels:
If you are not satisfied with ph659's response to a data privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines, the independent government body responsible for overseeing compliance with Republic Act No. 10173.
