2. How We Use Your Information

The personal data phgraet collects is used strictly for legitimate purposes that are directly connected to providing you with a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming experience. Specifically, we use your information to:

• Verify your identity — to comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements and prevent fraud
• Process deposits and withdrawals — so your GCash, Maya, or bank transfer goes through quickly and accurately
• Manage your account — including login authentication, password recovery, and account settings
• Personalize your experience — to recommend games like Fishing Games, Sabong, Poker, or Football Betting based on your preferences
• Send important notifications — account updates, security alerts, transaction confirmations
• Provide customer support — so our team can assist you when something goes wrong or you have a question
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse — including bonus abuse, multi-accounting, and other violations
• Comply with legal obligations — including anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, PAGCOR licensing conditions, and tax reporting requirements
• Improve our platform — through analytics and user feedback to make phgraet better for everyone

We do not use your data for automated profiling decisions that would significantly affect your legal rights, without your explicit consent.

3. Sharing of Your Information

phgraet values your trust, and we do not sell your personal data to any third party. However, there are limited situations where we may share your information with trusted partners:

• Payment processors — GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay/PESONet, and banking partners need basic transaction data to process your money movements
• Identity verification providers — third-party KYC services that help us confirm your identity in compliance with regulations
• Game providers and software vendors — who supply the gaming content on phgraet and may receive gameplay data to ensure fair play
• Regulatory authorities — we may be required to disclose certain data to PAGCOR, the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or law enforcement as required by Philippine law
• Fraud prevention services — to detect unusual activity and protect the integrity of our platform

In all cases, we require our partners to handle your data with the same standard of care that we apply ourselves, and to use it only for the stated purpose.

4. Data Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active, or as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. For financial and gaming records, we typically retain data for a minimum of five (5) years from your last transaction or account activity, in line with AML regulations and PAGCOR reporting obligations.

If you close your phgraet account, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data after the legally required retention period has passed. Certain data may be retained longer if required by law or to resolve an open dispute.

5. Security Measures

Protecting your information is something phgraet takes seriously. We implement multiple layers of security to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, or misuse:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
• Bcrypt or equivalent hashing for all stored passwords — we never store plain-text passwords
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) options for added account security
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Strict internal access controls — only authorized staff with a valid need can access user data
• Incident response procedures in case of a data breach, including notification to affected users and the NPC as required

While we work hard to protect your data, no system is 100% infallible. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phgraet account and to never share your login credentials with anyone.
