1. Scope & Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to the ph388 platform accessible at ph388.vip and all associated services, including the sports betting, live casino, slots, bingo, and any other gaming or account-management features made available to Members through the Platform.

ph388 operates as the data controller responsible for the personal data you provide when registering and using the ph388 platform. ph388 operates within the PAGCOR regulatory framework applicable to Philippine-market online gaming. As a PAGCOR-regulated operator, ph388 is subject to applicable Philippine data privacy laws, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations (IRR). This Privacy Policy is designed to be consistent with those requirements.

By registering a ph388 account or using any feature of the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Registration & Identity Information

When you open a ph388 account, we collect the personal information you provide during the registration process, including:

• Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued ID;
• Date of birth (used to verify the mandatory 21+ age requirement);
• Philippine mobile number (used for account verification, OTP delivery, and communications);
• Email address (where provided);
• Username and encrypted password credentials.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Documents

For the purpose of Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, age verification, and anti-money laundering (AML) screening, ph388 may collect copies of government-issued identification documents, including Philippine passports, driver's licenses, SSS IDs, or PhilSys national IDs. We may also collect a selfie photograph taken alongside the identification document to confirm that the document belongs to the account holder.

6. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

ph388 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. ph388 may share your personal data with third parties only in the following circumstances:

• Game content providers — Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Evolution Gaming, and other game studios integrated into the ph388 platform receive the technical data necessary to operate their games within our platform, subject to their own data processing agreements;
• Regulatory authorities — PAGCOR and other Philippine regulatory or law enforcement bodies where disclosure is required by applicable law or regulatory direction;
• Professional advisors — legal counsel, auditors, and financial advisors subject to binding confidentiality obligations, where reasonably necessary for ph388's business operations.

Where ph388 engages third-party processors to process your personal data on its behalf, those processors are required to handle your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine data privacy law.
