At php356, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from Filipino players and other users, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your own data — all in plain language, not dense legalese.
php356 collects and processes personal data strictly in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and its implementing rules and regulations. Your rights as a data subject are fully respected.
All data transmitted between your device and the php356 platform is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. Your personal and financial information is protected in transit at all times — whether you're logging in from Manila or connecting on mobile data in Cebu.
php356 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your information is used only to provide, improve, and secure the php356 platform, and to meet our legal obligations — nothing more.
Under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and object to processing of your personal data. php356 provides clear mechanisms for exercising all of these rights. Submit a data subject request anytime through customer support.
Where php356 shares data with third parties — such as KYC verification providers, payment processors like GCash and Maya, and game studios — those partners are contractually bound to process data only for specified purposes and under equivalent security standards.
php356 does not keep your data longer than necessary. Retention periods are defined for each category of data, based on legal requirements and legitimate business needs. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Summary: This Privacy Policy explains how php356 ("we," "us," "our") collects and uses the personal information of players and visitors ("you") who use the php356 platform at php356.org. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly, in full compliance with Philippine data privacy law. Please read this policy carefully.
php356 operates the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at php356.org ("the Platform"), designed primarily for Filipino players aged 21 and above. For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules, php356 acts as the personal information controller in respect of personal data collected through the Platform.
Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for overseeing compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data privacy law. You may contact the DPO for any privacy-related query or request through the contact details provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

php356 does not intentionally collect special categories of sensitive personal data such as health information, religious beliefs, or political affiliations. Where Responsible Gaming circumstances suggest a player may have a gambling problem, any associated data is handled with heightened care and used solely for the purpose of player welfare intervention and regulatory compliance.
php356 collects personal data through the following means:
php356 will always inform you at the point of collection when providing personal data is mandatory versus optional, and what the consequence of not providing it will be (for example, failure to complete KYC will prevent withdrawal processing).
php356 uses personal data only for specified, legitimate purposes. The table below sets out the primary purposes for which we process your data:
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, php356 relies on the following legal bases for processing personal data:

php356 may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, courts, and other government bodies in the Philippines where we are required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory direction. We will notify you of such disclosure where legally permitted to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of php356's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify affected players of any such transfer and ensure the acquiring entity is bound to treat personal data consistently with this Privacy Policy.
php356 does not and will not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their independent marketing or commercial purposes.

At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised data that cannot be re-identified may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
php356 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
Data Breach Notification: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms, php356 will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay as required by law.
php356 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including local storage and session tokens) on the Platform for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies are always active. You may manage non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling functional cookies may affect the personalisation of your Platform experience. php356 does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies for commercial advertising purposes.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by php356:
Request a copy of the personal data php356 holds about you, and information about how it is used.
Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal data in your Account.
Request deletion of personal data no longer necessary for the original collection purpose, subject to retention obligations.
Object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.
Request restriction of processing in specified circumstances, such as while accuracy of data is contested.
Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Identity verification may be required before we process your request to protect against fraudulent access to another person's data.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting support or adjusting your marketing preferences in Account Settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place prior to withdrawal.
21+ Only: The php356 Platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. php356 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a minor, we will delete it immediately and close the associated Account.
php356 enforces age verification as part of the account registration and KYC process. Parents and guardians are encouraged to implement device-level parental controls on devices that minors may access. If you believe a minor has registered on the php356 Platform, please contact support immediately at [email protected].
php356's primary data processing activities are conducted within the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to third-party service providers operating outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or game studios with regional data centers — php356 ensures that such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards, including:
You may request information about the safeguards applied to international transfers of your personal data by contacting the php356 DPO.
php356 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, tournaments, and platform updates via SMS, email, Messenger, and Viber, where you have not opted out of marketing communications. These communications are sent to your registered mobile number or email address.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional communications necessary for your Account, such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, security alerts, and support responses. These will continue regardless of marketing preferences.
php356 may use your game history, bet history, and behavioral data to personalise promotional offers and game recommendations. This personalisation is intended to improve the relevance of communications you receive. You may object to personalised marketing at any time by contacting support.
