ph653 is committed to protecting the personal data of every Filipino player who registers and plays on the platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have under Philippine law.
Effective Date: January 2026These six principles summarize how ph653 approaches data protection. The full legal details are in the complete policy below — this overview is for quick reference only.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected and processed by ph653 in connection with the operation of ph653.app and all associated services. It is intended to meet the requirements of Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines (DPA), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By registering an account or using ph653 in any capacity, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
ph653 takes the privacy of its players seriously. As a platform that handles sensitive information — including identity documents, financial transactions, and gaming behavior — ph653 recognizes that responsible data stewardship is not merely a legal obligation but a fundamental part of operating with integrity in the Philippine market.
Filipino players entrust ph653 with personal information when they register, deposit funds, play games, and contact support. This Privacy Policy is our commitment to explain transparently exactly what happens to that information from the moment it is submitted. There are no hidden practices. This document reflects how ph653 actually operates.
This Policy covers all personal data processing activities conducted by ph653, whether data is collected directly from players on ph653.app, through integrated payment providers such as GCash and Maya, or indirectly through device and session data generated during gameplay. It applies equally to data collected through desktop browsers, mobile browsers, and any ph653 mobile application if released.
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the personal information controller responsible for personal data processed through ph653.app is:

ph653 engages third-party service providers acting as data processors on ph653's behalf, including certified game providers, payment processing partners, identity verification providers, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, and customer support tools. All such processors are bound by data processing agreements that require them to process data solely on ph653's instructions and maintain appropriate security measures.
ph653 will disclose personal data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or other competent Philippine authorities when required by law, court order, or regulatory direction. ph653 will seek to notify affected players of such disclosures where legally permissible to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of ph653's assets, personal data held by ph653 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. Players will be notified of any such transfer and the applicable privacy policy of the successor entity before the transfer takes effect.
ph653 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to unrelated third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. ph653 does not share your data with social media platforms for advertising targeting without your explicit consent. ph653 does not allow third-party processors to use your data for any purpose other than delivering their contracted service to ph653.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to ph653. ph653 does not use third-party advertising cookies that track you across external websites.
ph653 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to the following minimum retention requirements imposed by Philippine law:
Following the expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized using industry-standard deletion methods. Anonymized data derived from gaming activity may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis, as it no longer constitutes personal data.
ph653 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the risk profile of the data it processes, including:
In the event of a confirmed personal data breach, ph653 will assess the risk to affected players and, where the breach poses a real risk to rights and freedoms, notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of discovery. Affected players will be notified without undue delay in a manner that allows them to take protective action. ph653 maintains an incident response plan that is reviewed and tested regularly.
As a data subject under Republic Act No. 10173, Filipino players have the following rights with respect to their personal data held by ph653:
| Your Right | What It Means | How to Exercise |
|---|---|---|
| Right to Access | Request a copy of the personal data ph653 holds about you and information about how it is used. | Contact support via live chat or email |
| Right to Correction | Request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected or updated. | Account settings or support team |
| Right to Erasure | Request deletion of personal data where it is no longer necessary, subject to legal retention obligations. | Written request to DPO |
| Right to Object | Object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or processing based on legitimate interest. | Account settings or written request |
| Right to Data Portability | Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. | Written request to DPO |
| Right to Complain | Lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission if you believe ph653 has violated the DPA. | Directly with the NPC |
ph653 will respond to verified data subject requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or involves a large volume of data, ph653 may extend this period by a further thirty (30) days with written notice to the requesting player explaining the reason for the extension. Rights requests are processed free of charge unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
ph653 is strictly prohibited to persons under the age of twenty-one (21) years. ph653 does not knowingly collect or process the personal data of individuals under the age of 21. If a player provides false age information during registration, any personal data collected as a result of that fraudulent registration will be deleted upon discovery, and the Account will be permanently closed.
If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has registered an Account on ph653 or submitted personal data to ph653, they should contact the ph653 DPO immediately at [email protected]. ph653 will take prompt action to delete the relevant data and close the Account.
ph653 enforces the 21-year minimum age requirement mandated by PAGCOR for all real-money gaming platforms in the Philippines. This requirement applies without exception. Age verification is conducted as part of the KYC process, and ph653 reserves the right to request age documentation at any time.
In the course of providing its services, ph653 may transfer personal data to service providers whose infrastructure is located outside the Philippines, including game providers operating certified server infrastructure and cloud computing providers. Any such cross-border data transfer is conducted in compliance with Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, which requires that:
ph653 maintains a register of cross-border data transfers and the applicable safeguards for each. Players may request information about specific cross-border transfers affecting their data by contacting the ph653 DPO.
ph653 may send marketing communications, including promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates, to players who have provided their express consent to receive such communications during registration or through their Account settings.
Players may withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time by:
Withdrawal of consent to marketing communications does not affect the legal basis for other processing activities, and will not affect a player's ability to access ph653 services. Operational and transactional communications (such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and Account security alerts) are not marketing communications and will continue regardless of marketing preferences.
ph653 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in applicable law, or changes to the ph653 service. Material changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated to registered players via the email address associated with their Account, with a minimum notice period of fourteen (14) days before the updated Policy takes effect.
The effective date of the current version of this Privacy Policy is stated at the top of this document. Players are encouraged to review this Policy periodically. Continued use of ph653 following the effective date of any updated Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Where a change to this Privacy Policy requires the processing of existing data for a new purpose or in a way materially different from the original purpose, ph653 will obtain fresh consent from affected players where consent is the applicable legal basis, or will provide thirty (30) days' advance notice to allow players to close their Account if they do not wish to accept the new processing.
ph653 has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance with this Privacy Policy and the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The DPO is the primary point of contact for all data privacy matters, including rights requests, complaints, and questions about this Policy.

Information on how to contact the NPC is available through official Philippine government channels.
ph653 processes personal data in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations as issued by the National Privacy Commission. ph653's data processing activities are registered with the NPC in accordance with applicable registration requirements.
