• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Philippine law, including PAGCOR licensing conditions, AML obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), and NPC requirements.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming enforcement, where such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Processing for optional activities such as marketing communications and certain analytics, where you have given specific, informed, and freely given consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

ph979 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Anti-fraud and security partners: Data shared with fraud detection services to protect the Platform and all ph979 players from cheating and financial crime.
• Professional advisors: Lawyers, auditors, and accountants who are subject to professional confidentiality obligations.

All third parties with whom ph979 shares personal data are required to handle that data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine data protection law.

ph979's primary operations are based in the Philippines, and personal data is processed predominantly within the Philippines. Where ph979 engages service providers or technology partners located outside the Philippines — including cloud infrastructure and game studio providers — ph979 ensures that such transfers comply with the cross-border transfer provisions of the Philippine DPA and its IRR, including the requirement that the receiving jurisdiction provides an adequate level of data protection or that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place.

ph979 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, subject to the following:

• Active accounts: Personal data is retained for the duration of your ph979 account relationship.
• Closed accounts: Following account closure, ph979 retains personal data for a minimum of five (5) years in compliance with Philippine AML record-keeping obligations under the AMLA.
• KYC documents: Identity verification documents are retained for the period required by PAGCOR and AMLA regulations, typically five (5) years from the date of the last transaction.
• Marketing data: Retained until you withdraw consent or opt out of marketing communications, at which point it is deleted or anonymized within 30 days.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized.

ph979 implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• AES-256 encryption of personal data at rest;
• TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit between your browser and ph979 servers;
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all account holders;
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis;
• Regular penetration testing and security audits of the ph979 Platform;
• Intrusion detection systems and 24/7 security monitoring;
• Documented data breach response procedures including NPC notification protocols.

While ph979 employs industry-standard security practices, no transmission over the internet is completely secure. You share responsibility for account security by maintaining a strong, unique password and enabling 2FA on your ph979 account.
