1. Who We Are

phjoy app is an online gaming and entertainment platform operated for players in the Philippines. When you register an account, place a bet, or interact with any feature on our platform, you are sharing personal information with us. We act as the data controller for all personal data collected through the phjoy app website and mobile experience. Our responsibility is to handle that data with care, transparency, and full respect for your rights under Philippine law. If you have any questions about how your data is managed, you can reach our support team using the contact details provided on this platform.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you provide directly when you register, verify your identity, or contact our support team. This includes your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, mobile number, and government-issued identification details required for Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. We also collect financial information such as your GCash or Maya account details and Philippine bank information when you make deposits or request withdrawals. In addition, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs each time you use the platform. This technical data helps us maintain platform security, detect unusual activity, and improve the overall experience for Filipino players.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your personal data is used primarily to operate your account, process transactions in Philippine pesos, and deliver the gaming services you have signed up for. We use identity and financial information to comply with our legal obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements and responsible gaming regulations applicable in the Philippines. Technical and behavioural data helps us personalise your experience, recommend relevant games, and ensure the platform performs reliably on mobile devices. Where you have opted in, we may use your contact details to send you information about promotions, bonuses, and platform updates — you can withdraw this consent at any time. We do not use your data to make fully automated decisions that produce significant legal effects without human oversight.

4. How We Share Your Information

phjoy app does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share data only with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — and only to the extent necessary for those services. All third-party partners are contractually required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection standards. We may also disclose personal information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines when required to do so by law or valid legal process. In the event of a business transfer or merger, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, and you will be notified in advance.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by Philippine law and our regulatory obligations. Financial transaction records are typically retained for a minimum of five years in line with anti-money laundering requirements. If you request account closure, we will deactivate your account and begin the process of removing or anonymising personal data that is no longer required, subject to any legal retention obligations. Data that has been anonymised and can no longer identify you may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes. You may contact our support team at any time to ask about the specific retention period applicable to your account data.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

phjoy app uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and analyse how the platform is used. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function correctly and cannot be disabled. Analytics cookies help us understand which features Filipino players use most, allowing us to prioritise improvements. You can manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or share browsing data with external ad networks.

7. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules, you have the right to be informed about how your personal data is processed, to access a copy of the data we hold about you, and to request corrections if any information is inaccurate or incomplete. You also have the right to object to certain types of processing, to request the deletion of data that is no longer necessary, and to data portability where technically feasible. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team with your request and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests to protect the security of your account.

8. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to staff who need it to perform their job functions, and all such staff are bound by confidentiality obligations. We conduct regular security assessments and promptly address any vulnerabilities identified. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine regulatory authority in accordance with our legal obligations.

9. Children's Privacy

phjoy app is strictly intended for players who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the legal gaming age in the Philippines. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, we will immediately close the account and delete the associated information. Parents or guardians who believe a minor may have accessed our platform are encouraged to contact our support team without delay. We take our responsibility to protect younger users seriously and maintain robust age verification procedures as part of our registration process.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable Philippine law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players directly. Continued use of the phjoy app platform after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you remain informed about how we protect your data. If you have any concerns about a change to this policy, please contact our support team before continuing to use the platform.

Common Questions About Your Privacy

Answers to the questions Filipino players ask most about how phjoy app handles personal data.

We only share your personal data with third-party service providers who help us operate the platform — such as payment processors and identity verification partners — and only to the extent necessary for those specific services. We never sell your data to advertisers or unrelated third parties. All partners are contractually bound to protect your information in line with applicable Philippine data protection standards. If a legal authority in the Philippines requires us to disclose data, we will comply with that lawful request. Outside of these circumstances, your information stays within the phjoy app ecosystem.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting our support team and requesting to be removed from our promotional mailing list. Once your request is processed, we will stop sending marketing messages to your registered email address and mobile number. Please note that opting out of marketing does not affect transactional messages such as withdrawal confirmations or account security alerts, which are necessary for the operation of your account. If you have questions about the types of messages you are receiving, our support team can clarify and adjust your preferences. We aim to process all opt-out requests promptly.

When you close your phjoy app account, we will deactivate it and begin removing personal data that is no longer required for any legal or regulatory purpose. Financial transaction records are subject to mandatory retention periods under Philippine law and will be kept for the required duration before being securely deleted. Any data that is not subject to a legal retention obligation will be erased or anonymised as soon as reasonably practicable after account closure. You may request confirmation of what data has been deleted and what is being retained, along with the reason for retention. Our support team can guide you through the account closure process and answer any data-related questions.

Yes — all payment data transmitted through phjoy app is protected using secure encryption protocols. We work with reputable Philippine payment partners including GCash and Maya, and we do not store full card or wallet credentials on our own servers beyond what is necessary for transaction processing. Access to financial data within our organisation is strictly limited to authorised personnel. We conduct regular security reviews to ensure our payment infrastructure meets current industry standards. If you ever notice any suspicious activity on your account, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
