Policy

1. Introduction

ph22w is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all players and visitors who interact with our platform at ph22w.net. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ph22w collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the ph22w website, mobile platforms, customer support channels, and any other touchpoint where you interact with ph22w. It applies to registered players, prospective players who browse the site without registering, and any individual who contacts ph22w support.

Please read this Policy carefully and in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy carry the meanings assigned to them in the Terms & Conditions.

2. Who We Are

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph22w acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) with respect to the personal data of its players and site visitors. ph22w is operated under the regulatory oversight of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), which mandates certain data collection and retention obligations that ph22w must fulfill as a licensed operator.

ph22w has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this Policy, managing data subject requests, and serving as the primary point of contact for the National Privacy Commission on matters relating to personal data processing. Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

11. Minors & Age Restriction

ph22w is strictly an adult platform. In accordance with Philippine gambling law and PAGCOR regulations, participation on ph22w is limited to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. ph22w does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

All account registrations require age verification as part of the KYC process. If ph22w discovers or reasonably suspects that an account belongs to a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all balances will be frozen pending investigation, and the personal data associated with the account will be flagged for regulatory review. If you believe a minor has registered on ph22w, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

12. Cross-Border Data Transfers

ph22w's primary data processing infrastructure is located within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, personal data may be processed by our third-party service providers whose systems are located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or international KYC verification platforms.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, ph22w ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with NPC guidelines on cross-border data transfers. This includes contractual clauses that require the recipient to apply data protection standards equivalent to those required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012.

Your continued use of the ph22w platform after any update to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If you have questions about any changes, please contact our DPO using the details below.
