phtya Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how phtya collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of users on our platform — including Filipino players based in the Philippines. Please read this page carefully before registering an account or using any part of the phtya service.

Last updated: 2025. This policy may be revised periodically. Continued use of the platform following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

1. Data We Collect

When you register and use the phtya platform, we collect a range of information necessary to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, and provide a secure experience for all members in the Philippines and beyond. The categories of data we collect include:

Account information: Your name, date of birth, email address, username, and password when you create a phtya account.
Identity verification documents: Government-issued ID or other documents required to verify your identity and age in compliance with applicable regulations.
Payment and transaction data: Details of deposits and withdrawals processed in Philippine Peso (₱ PHP), including bank account or e-wallet information linked to your account.
Device and browser data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, screen resolution, and similar technical information collected when you access phtya.
Usage data: Pages visited, features accessed, session duration, click patterns, and other activity logs generated during your use of the platform.
Cookies and similar tracking data: Information collected through cookies and comparable technologies as described in the Cookies section of this policy.

We collect only the data that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for identity verification and legal compliance.

2. How We Use Your Data

phtya uses the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

To create and manage your account, and to verify your identity and age eligibility.
To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions in Philippine Peso.
To provide access to the sportsbook, slot online games, live casino, and other platform features.
To communicate with you about your account, transactions, and any changes to our policies or services.
To detect, prevent, and investigate fraudulent activity, money laundering, unauthorized access, and other security risks.
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to phtya's operations in the Philippines.
To improve our platform by analyzing usage patterns and understanding how members interact with our services.
To send you relevant promotions or service updates, where you have consented to receive such communications.

We do not use your personal data for purposes beyond those listed above without informing you and, where required, obtaining your consent.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

phtya uses cookies and similar technologies to support platform functionality, remember your session preferences, and understand how users navigate the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly — including maintaining your login session and enabling secure navigation between pages.
Analytics cookies: Used to collect aggregated data about how users interact with phtya, helping us improve the layout, performance, and features of the platform.
Preference cookies: Store settings such as your preferred language or display options so that your experience is consistent across visits.

Most modern browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to log in or use certain features of the phtya platform. Non-essential cookies can be declined without impacting core functionality.

4. Data Storage & Security

phtya stores user data on secure servers with appropriate technical and organizational safeguards in place to protect against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. We apply industry-standard security measures including encryption of data in transit and access controls limiting who within our team can view personal information.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active, and for a further period as required by applicable law or legitimate business need — for example, financial transaction records that must be retained for regulatory compliance purposes in the Philippines.

When data is no longer required and its retention period has expired, we securely delete or anonymize it. Account closure does not result in immediate deletion of all records where legal obligations require retention.

While we take data security seriously, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all threats. We encourage members to use strong unique passwords, avoid sharing login credentials, and contact us immediately if they suspect unauthorized account activity.

phtya does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

Payment processors: We share necessary transaction data with our payment partners — including local Philippine bank networks and e-wallet providers — to process your deposits and withdrawals in ₱ PHP.
Identity verification services: Where required, we may use third-party providers to verify the authenticity of documents submitted during account verification.
Regulatory and legal authorities: We may disclose information to government bodies, law enforcement, or regulators in the Philippines where required by law, court order, or legitimate regulatory request.
Platform infrastructure providers: Our hosting, analytics, and security service providers may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own purposes.

All third parties who process data on phtya's behalf are required to maintain confidentiality and use data only for the purposes specified by phtya.

6. Your Rights & Minor Protection

As a phtya member, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to correction: You may request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected.
Right to deletion: You may request that your personal data be deleted, subject to legal retention obligations.
Right to withdraw consent: Where our use of your data is based on your consent — such as for marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at: [email protected]. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable Philippine data privacy law.

Minor Protection: The phtya platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account, we will close the account and delete any associated data promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a minor may have registered should contact us immediately.

7. Policy Updates & Contact

phtya may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, the platform, or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised date at the top. We encourage you to review this page from time to time to stay informed about how we handle your data.

Continued use of the phtya platform after a policy update is posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with any updated terms, you should discontinue use of the platform and contact us to request account closure.
