ph443 ("ph443," "we," "us," or "the Company") is the operator of the online casino and sportsbook platform accessible at ph443.app. ph443 is duly authorized by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to provide online gambling services to eligible players in the Philippines.
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, ph443 is the Personal Information Controller (PIC) with respect to all personal data collected from registered players and visitors to the ph443 platform.
As Personal Information Controller, ph443 determines the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the platform and is legally accountable for ensuring that such processing is carried out in accordance with R.A. 10173, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and all applicable PAGCOR privacy-related requirements.
Data Protection Officer Contact: ph443 has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in accordance with R.A. 10173. Privacy-related inquiries, data subject access requests, and complaints can be directed to the DPO at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy / DPO Request."
ph443 collects the following categories of personal data in the course of operating the platform and providing services to registered players:
⚠️ ph443 does not collect full payment card numbers. When players use GCash, Maya, or bank transfer channels, the payment is processed through those providers' own secure systems. ph443 only receives transaction confirmation data, not your full payment credentials.
ph443 collects personal data through the following channels and mechanisms:
ph443 processes personal data for the following specific purposes, each of which is tied to a lawful basis under R.A. 10173 (see Section 5):
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Account Management | Creating, maintaining, and administering your ph443 player account, including authentication and password management. |
| Identity Verification (KYC) | Satisfying PAGCOR's mandatory Know Your Customer requirements prior to processing withdrawals and for ongoing account monitoring. |
| Transaction Processing | Processing GCash, Maya, bank transfer, and cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso (PHP). |
| PAGCOR Regulatory Compliance | Fulfilling all reporting, record-keeping, and audit obligations required under ph443's PAGCOR operating authorization. |
| Anti-Money Laundering (AML) | Monitoring transactions for suspicious activity in compliance with R.A. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act) and PAGCOR AML requirements. |
| Responsible Gaming | Operating self-exclusion programs, deposit limits, and other responsible gaming tools required by PAGCOR and offered voluntarily by ph443. |

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph443 relies on the following legal grounds for processing personal data:
ph443 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own independent commercial purposes. ph443 shares personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose:
ph443 is legally required to share player data with PAGCOR and other Philippine regulatory and law enforcement authorities upon lawful request, including in connection with PAGCOR compliance audits, AML investigations, and any judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings.
To process deposits and withdrawals, ph443 shares the minimum necessary personal data with its payment partners — including GCash (Mynt), Maya (Voyager Innovations), BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and cryptocurrency processing partners — solely for the purpose of executing your requested transaction.
ph443 engages third-party KYC verification service providers to assist with identity document verification as required by PAGCOR. These providers process identity data solely for the purpose of identity verification on behalf of ph443 and are contractually prohibited from using ph443 player data for any other purpose.
ph443 may share limited technical and transactional data with fraud detection and cybersecurity service providers for the purpose of protecting the platform and its players from fraudulent activity, account takeover, and other security threats.
As a PAGCOR-licensed operator subject to R.A. 9160 as amended, ph443 is legally obligated to file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Covered Transaction Reports (CTRs) with the AMLC where threshold conditions are met. Such reporting is mandatory and does not require player consent.
All third parties with whom ph443 shares personal data are required to maintain the confidentiality of that data, process it only for the specified purpose, and implement appropriate security measures. ph443 does not authorize third-party processors to transfer or disclose ph443 player data to additional parties without ph443's prior written approval.
Where ph443 engages technology service providers or platform vendors whose servers or processing infrastructure are located outside the Philippines, any transfer of personal data to those overseas recipients will be conducted in accordance with Section 21 of R.A. 10173 and the applicable provisions of its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
ph443 ensures that international data transfers are protected by appropriate contractual safeguards, including Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that impose data protection obligations on overseas recipients equivalent to those required under Philippine law. ph443 will not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing compensating contractual protections.
Players who wish to obtain information about the specific international transfer mechanisms applicable to their data may contact the ph443 DPO at [email protected].
ph443 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to mandatory minimum retention periods required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Legal Basis for Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | 5 years from account closure | PAGCOR regulatory requirement |
| KYC identity documents | 5 years from account closure | R.A. 9160 (AMLA) / PAGCOR |
| Financial transaction records | 5 years from transaction date | R.A. 9160 (AMLA) |
| Bet and gaming history | 5 years from session date | PAGCOR audit requirements |
| AML-related records and STRs | 10 years from filing date | R.A. 9160 as amended |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Legitimate business interest |
| Marketing consent records | Until withdrawal of consent + 2 years | R.A. 10173 accountability requirement |
| Technical / access logs | 12 months from creation | Security and fraud prevention |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with ph443's data destruction procedures. Anonymized data — from which individual identity cannot be reconstructed — may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
ph443 uses cookies and similar web tracking technologies when you visit ph443.app. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser that allow the platform to recognize returning visitors, maintain session state, and gather technical usage data.
ph443 does not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioral tracking cookies for the purpose of serving advertisements on external websites. Your browsing activity on ph443.app is not shared with advertising networks.
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the ph443 platform.
ph443 implements a layered set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include but are not limited to:
While ph443 employs all reasonable technical and organizational security measures, no internet-connected platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are encouraged to protect their own accounts by using strong unique passwords, enabling 2FA, and never sharing login credentials.
⚠️ ph443 is strictly prohibited to persons under 21 years of age. This is a mandatory PAGCOR requirement and a non-negotiable condition of ph443's operating authorization.
ph443 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. All account registrations require a declaration of age eligibility, and KYC verification confirms the player's date of birth against a valid Philippine government-issued ID prior to withdrawal processing.
If ph443 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, that account will be immediately suspended, all associated funds will be returned to the payment source, and the data will be securely deleted to the extent not required to be retained for compliance and AML purposes.
Parents and guardians who believe a minor may have accessed ph443 should contact the support team immediately at [email protected]. ph443 will investigate and act promptly on all such reports.
You may exercise any of the data subject rights described in Section 1 of this Policy (and summarized in the Rights at a Glance cards above) by submitting a written request to ph443's Data Protection Officer. To protect the security of your data, all rights requests require identity verification before ph443 can act upon them.
Email your request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Request — [Your Full Name]". Your request should include: your full registered name, your registered email address or mobile number, a description of the right you wish to exercise, and any relevant context. ph443 will respond within 15 business days of verifying your identity.
Certain rights requests may be limited or declined where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to perform a task in the public interest, or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim. ph443 will inform you of any applicable limitation and its legal basis in writing.
If you are not satisfied with ph443's response to your data rights request, or if you believe ph443 has processed your personal data in violation of R.A. 10173, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. Information on how to file a complaint with the NPC is available through the NPC's official government channels.
ph443 may send marketing communications — including promotional offers, bonus notifications, new game announcements, and platform updates — to registered players who have provided their informed consent to receive such communications. Marketing consent is separate from the operational communications required to administer your account.
You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications from ph443 at any time by:
Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your ability to use the ph443 platform or receive operational communications related to your account (e.g., transaction confirmations, security alerts, and KYC-related notifications). Unsubscribe requests are processed within 10 business days of receipt.
The ph443 platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services — including payment processors such as GCash and Maya, game content providers, and customer support tool providers. When you interact with these third-party services, your personal data may be processed by those providers according to their own privacy policies.
ph443 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers beyond the scope of ph443's Data Processing Agreements with those providers. Players who wish to understand how a specific third-party provider handles personal data should review that provider's own privacy documentation.
ph443 does not link to external third-party websites for commercial or promotional purposes. All navigation links on ph443.app remain within the ph443 platform.
ph443 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, PAGCOR requirements, our data processing practices, or the services we offer. The "Effective Date" at the top of this Policy will be updated whenever a revision is published.
For material changes — those that substantially affect your rights or the way ph443 processes your personal data — ph443 will provide advance notice by email to your registered address before the changes take effect. For minor or administrative changes that do not materially affect your rights, the updated Policy will be published on ph443.app without separate individual notification.
Your continued use of the ph443 platform following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. If you do not agree with a material change to this Policy, you may close your account by contacting [email protected] before the change takes effect.
