phpfamous Privacy Policy — See Exactly How We Handle Your Data

When you register and use phpfamous, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to operate your account and deliver our services to you as aplayer in the Philippines. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a valid government-issued ID for identity verification purposes. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history in Philippine pesos, which is required to process deposits and withdrawals securely. When you browse and interact with the platform, we automatically gather technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure the platform performs reliably on both desktop and mobile devices. We do not collect any information beyond what is reasonably necessary to provide you with a safe and enjoyable entertainment experience on phpfamous.

The personal data we collect is used primarily to create and manage your phpfamous account, verify your identity in line with applicable Philippine regulations, and process your financial transactions accurately and on time. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our platform or policies — we do not send unsolicited marketing messages without your consent. Session and device data is analysed to improve platform performance, fix technical issues, and personalise your experience based on the games and features you use most. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data for internal research and reporting purposes, which helps us understand how Filipino players interact with the platform and where we can improve. Your data is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party advertisers or marketing companies under any circumstances.

phpfamous does not share your personal information with third parties except in the limited circumstances described in this section. We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — and all such partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if we are legally required to do so, or if disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of phpfamous or our players. In the event of a business restructuring or acquisition, your data may be transferred to a successor entity, but only under the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will always inform you of any material changes to how your data is shared, and you retain the right to request details about any third parties who have received your information.

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using secure protocols, and access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to authorised personnel who need it to perform their duties. Your account is protected by password authentication, and we strongly encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to never share your login credentials with anyone. We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and record-keeping obligations. Once your data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data retention schedule.

As a player based in the Philippines, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to any inaccurate information, and ask us to delete your data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You may also object to certain types of processing, request that we restrict how we use your data while a dispute is being resolved, and ask us to provide your data in a portable format where technically feasible. To exercise any of these rights, you can contact our support team using the email address listed in the footer of this page, and we will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. We will never penalise you for exercising your privacy rights, and if you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to raise a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in the Philippines. phpfamous is committed to handling all privacy requests fairly, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable law.
