4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act and applicable NPC regulations, phjhoy processes personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to fulfill the Terms and Conditions you accepted upon registration, including delivering gaming services and processing financial transactions.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with PAGCOR directives, AMLA reporting requirements, NPC regulations, and other mandatory Philippine legal obligations.
• Legitimate Interest: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and internal analytics — provided such interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional features, where we rely on your explicit, freely given, specific, and informed consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

phjhoy does not sell your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 Payment Processors: We share necessary financial details with licensed payment partners including GCash (Mynt), PayMaya/Maya, and accredited Philippine banks solely to process your deposits and withdrawals. These partners maintain their own privacy policies and data security standards.

5.2 Regulatory Authorities: We are required to disclose player information to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission, or law enforcement agencies when mandated by Philippine law or official regulatory request.

5.3 Game Providers: Aggregated, de-identified gameplay data may be shared with game software providers (e.g., JILI, Evolution) for technical support and game integrity verification. Individual player identities are not disclosed without necessity.

5.4 Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating phjhoy (cloud hosting, cybersecurity, customer support tools) may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements that require equivalent levels of data protection.

5.5 Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale involving phjhoy, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, with advance notice provided to affected players where required by law.

6. Data Retention

phjhoy retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by Philippine law.

• Active Accounts: Personal data is retained for the duration of your active account relationship with phjhoy.
• Closed Accounts: Upon account closure, we retain transaction records, KYC documents, and AML-related data for a minimum of five (5) years, as required under the Anti-Money Laundering Act of the Philippines.
• Marketing Data: Consent-based marketing preferences are retained until you withdraw consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
• Technical Logs: Server access logs and security event logs are retained for up to twelve (12) months for fraud detection and cybersecurity purposes.

When personal information is no longer required, phjhoy will securely destroy, delete, or anonymize the data in a manner that prevents unauthorized reconstruction or recovery.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

phjhoy uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our platform effectively, personalize your experience, and analyze site performance. Here is what we use and why:

• Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functionality including session management, login authentication, and secure transactions. These cannot be disabled without impairing platform use.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how players navigate phjhoy — which games are most popular, where players encounter difficulties, and how to improve performance. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your platform preferences such as language settings, game filters, and display options to improve your return visits.
• Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, bot access, and unauthorized login attempts.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using phjhoy's core gaming services, but may reduce personalization features.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), you have the following rights regarding your personal information held by phjhoy:

• Right to Be Informed: You have the right to know what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is processed — as described in this Privacy Policy.
• Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting our Data Privacy Officer.
• Right to Rectification: If you believe any information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. Minor corrections can often be made directly through your account settings.

• Right to Data Portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. Once received, we will cease such processing promptly.

9. Data Security Measures

phjhoy implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and phjhoy servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols — the same level of protection used by major Philippine banking institutions.
• Access Controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorized phjhoy personnel who require it to perform their job functions, governed by strict role-based access policies.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We strongly encourage all players to enable 2FA on their accounts for an additional layer of login security.
• Regular Security Audits: Our platform undergoes periodic penetration testing and security audits conducted by independent cybersecurity professionals.
• Secure Data Centers: Player data is stored in secure, access-controlled servers with redundant backup systems and 24/7 monitoring.
• Staff Training: All phjhoy employees who handle personal data receive regular data privacy and security training aligned with NPC requirements.

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms, phjhoy will notify the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery, and affected players will be informed without undue delay as required under Philippine law.

10. Children's Privacy

phjhoy's platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, as mandated by Philippine gaming regulations. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal information from anyone under the age of 21.

If we become aware that personal data has been inadvertently collected from a person under 21 years old, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems and, where applicable, report the matter to the appropriate Philippine regulatory authorities.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to phjhoy, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take corrective action promptly.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The phjhoy platform may contain references to third-party payment gateways and services integral to our operations (such as GCash and Maya). These third-party services maintain their own independent privacy policies, and phjhoy is not responsible for their data practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your phjhoy account. phjhoy's Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected directly through our own platform and services.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

phjhoy reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Display a prominent notice on the phjhoy platform for a reasonable period
• Send an email notification to registered players for significant changes that materially affect their rights

Your continued use of phjhoy services after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
