Last updated: 2025

1. What Data We Collect and Why

When you register on phpearl, we collect the information you provide directly — your name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and preferred payment details. This data is required to verify your identity, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and keep your account secure. We also collect technical data automatically when you use the platform, such as your device type, browser version, IP address, and session activity logs. This helps us detect unusual login patterns, prevent fraud, and improve the overall experience for players across the Philippines. We do not collect any data beyond what is necessary to run the platform safely and in compliance with applicable Philippine regulations.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal data you share with phpearl is used solely to operate your account, process transactions, and communicate with you about your activity on the platform. We use your contact details to send account-related notifications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and security alerts — and never for unsolicited marketing without your explicit consent. Aggregated, anonymised usage data may be used internally to understand how players navigate the platform and to prioritise improvements. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes. Any third-party service providers we work with — such as payment processors — are contractually bound to handle your data only as instructed by phpearl and in line with this policy.

3. Data Storage and Security

All personal data collected by phpearl is stored on secured servers with access restricted to authorised personnel only. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest, and we conduct regular security reviews to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. Passwords are stored in hashed form and are never accessible in plain text, even to our own team. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly and take immediate steps to contain the incident. We retain your data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by Philippine law and our internal compliance obligations.

4. Cookies and Tracking

phpearl uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is being used. Essential cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. Optional analytics cookies help us measure page performance and identify areas for improvement — you can manage these through your browser settings at any time. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or allow external ad networks to track your behaviour across other websites. If you disable all cookies, some features of the platform may not work as expected, but your core account functions will remain accessible.

5. Your Rights as a Player

As a user of phpearl based in the Philippines, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections if any information is inaccurate, and ask us to delete your data subject to our legal retention obligations. You may also withdraw consent for optional data processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the email address listed in the footer of this page and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you believe your data has been handled incorrectly, you have the right to raise a concern with the relevant Philippine data protection authority.

6. Changes to This Policy

phpearl may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. When we makesignificant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page so you always know when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the platform after any update is published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically, especially if you are a regular player on phpearl. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, the FAQ page covers the most common privacy questions in plain language.

Common Privacy Questions

Quick answers to what players in the Philippines most often ask about data privacy on phpearl.

phpearl does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We may share limited data with trusted service providers — such as payment processors — who help us operate the platform, but these providers are contractually required to handle your data only as directed by phpearl and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. All data sharing is strictly limited to what is necessary to deliver the service you have requested. If you have concerns about a specific type of data sharing, you can reach us using the contact details in the footer of this page.

When you close your phpearl account, we retain your personal data for a period required by Philippine law and our internal compliance obligations — typically to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements and to resolve any outstanding disputes. Once the mandatory retention period has passed, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you. If you would like to know the specific retention period that applies to your account, you can contact us directly and we will provide a clear answer. We do not keep data longer than necessary, and we do not use closed-account data for any marketing or profiling purposes.

Yes — you have the right to request a copy of the personal data phpearl holds about you at any time. To make a data access request, contact us using the email address shown in the footer of this page and include your registered account details so we can verify your identity before releasing any information. We aim to respond to all data access requests within a reasonable timeframe in line with Philippine data protection requirements. The information we provide will cover the categories of data we hold, the purposes for which it is processed, and any third parties with whom it has been shared. There is no fee for making a standard data access request.

phpearl only sends marketing communications to players who have explicitly opted in during registration or through their account settings. If you no longer wish to receive promotional messages, you can update your communication preferences in your account settings at any time, or contact us directly and we will remove you from our marketing list promptly. Opting out of marketing will not affect your ability to receive essential account notifications such as deposit confirmations, security alerts, or withdrawal updates — those will continue regardless of your marketing preference. If you have any trouble updating your preferences, the FAQ page has step-by-step guidance.
