phgo Privacy Policy – How We Handle Your Personal Data

1. What Information We Collect

When you register for an account on phgo, we collect the personal details you provide during the sign-up process, including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and your preferred payment details. We also collect information that is generated automatically when you use the platform, such as your device type, operating system, browser version, IP address, and the pages or games you interact with during each session. If you contact our support team, we retain a record of that communication, including any attachments or screenshots you share, so that we can follow up effectively and maintain a consistent service history for your account. For identity verification purposes, we may ask you to submit a government-issued ID or other supporting documents, particularly when processing withdrawals or when required by applicable Philippine regulations. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly necessary to operate your account, verify your identity, and comply with our legal obligations as a platform serving Filipino members.

Cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on the phgo platform to remember your session preferences, keep you logged in securely, and understand how members navigate the site so we can improve the experience over time. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect how some features of the platform function. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your activity across other websites outside of phgo.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal data we collect is used primarily to operate and maintain your phgo account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, verify your identity, and ensure that the platform remains secure and compliant with applicable Philippine law. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, and updates to our policies — these communications are necessary for the operation of your account and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active. Your gameplay and session data helps us understand how members use the platform so that we can improve navigation, fix technical issues, and tailor the experience to the preferences of Filipino players. If you have opted in to receive promotional communications, we may use your email address or mobile number to inform you about relevant offers, new game releases, or platform updates — you can withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings. We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions that have a significant legal or similarly significant effect on you without providing a means for human review.

We may also use aggregated, anonymised data — which cannot be used to identify any individual member — for internal analytics, reporting, and platform development purposes. This type of data helps us understand broad usage patterns and improve the overall quality of the phgo experience for all Filipino members without compromising anyone's privacy.

3. When We Share Your Data

phgo does not sell your personal data to third parties under any circumstances. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and cloud infrastructure providers — all of whom are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the specific purposes we have authorised. In some cases, we may be required to disclose your personal information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other government bodies in the Philippines if we receive a lawful request or are required to do so under applicable legislation. If phgo undergoes a business restructuring, merger, or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that process, and you will be notified of any material changes to how your data is handled as a result. We do not share your data with third-party advertisers or marketing networks, and we do not permit any partner to use your information for their own independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

4. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal data for as long as your phgo account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations under Philippine law, resolve any outstanding disputes, and maintain accurate financial records. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following the closure of your account, in line with standard anti-money laundering and financial record-keeping requirements applicable to online gaming platforms operating in the Philippines. If you request the deletion of your account and there are no outstanding legal or regulatory reasons to retain your data, we will take reasonable steps to remove or anonymise your personal information within a reasonable timeframe. Backup copies of data may persist in our secure systems for a short additional period before being fully purged as part of our standard data lifecycle management processes. If you have questions about the specific retention period that applies to your account or a particular category of data, you can contact our support team for clarification.

5. Your Rights as a Filipino Member

As a member of phgo based in the Philippines, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct any inaccurate information, and to request the deletion of your data where there is no lawful basis for us to continue holding it. You also have the right to object to certain types of processing, such as direct marketing communications, and to withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal. If you believe that phgo has handled your personal data in a way that does not comply with applicable Philippine data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at support at phgo.bet with a clear description of your request, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests to ensure that we are disclosing or modifying data only at the direction of the account holder.

6. How We Protect Your Data

phgo applies a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission using industry-standard protocols, secure storage of sensitive information, access controls that limit which staff members can view personal data, and regular security reviews of our systems and processes. While we take data security seriously and invest in maintaining a secure platform for Filipino members, no online system can guarantee absolute security, and you also play an important role by keeping your login credentials confidential and logging out of your account when using shared devices. If you suspect that your account has been accessed without your authorisation, you should contact our support team immediately so that we can take appropriate action to secure your account. We will notify affected members and relevant authorities in the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, in accordance with our obligations under applicable Philippine law.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

phgo may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or the features and services available on the platform. When we make material changes, we will notify registered members via email or through a prominent notice on the platform, and the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how your personal data is being handled. Continued use of the phgo platform after a policy update has been communicated constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the platform and contact our support team to discuss your options, including account closure if appropriate.
