ppgamin Privacy Policy
Your personal data is yours. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information ppgamin collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you hold as a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
Our Privacy Principles
These six principles shape every data decision ppgamin makes. They are not marketing language — they are the foundation of how we handle your personal information every single day.
Purpose Limitation
ppgamin collects personal data only for specific, legitimate, and declared purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected. Each data category has a defined purpose listed in our full policy below.
Data Minimization
We collect only what is necessary. ppgamin does not gather data beyond what is required for account registration, KYC verification, payment processing, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. If we don't need it, we don't ask for it.
Security by Default
All personal data held by ppgamin is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a strict need-to-know basis with full audit logging.
Your Rights, Respected
As a data subject under RA 10173, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data. ppgamin provides clear mechanisms for exercising each of these rights — no bureaucratic runaround, no unexplained delays.
No Data Selling
ppgamin does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your data is used to serve you — not to generate revenue from advertising networks or data aggregators.
Transparency First
ppgamin believes you have the right to know clearly and plainly how your data is used. This Privacy Policy is written in plain English — not buried in legal jargon — so every Filipino player can understand their data rights without needing a lawyer.
Your Data Rights at a Glance
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ppgamin players hold the following rights with respect to their personal data. These rights apply from the moment you create a ppgamin account.
Right to Access
You may request a copy of all personal data ppgamin holds about you at any time. We will respond to verified access requests within fifteen (15) business days and provide the information in a readable format.
Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. You may update most account details directly through your ppgamin Account dashboard or by contacting support.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records under Philippine anti-money laundering and gaming regulations.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time . Opt-out requests for marketing communications are processed within 48 hours of receipt and will not affect your ability to use the ppgamin platform.
Right to Data Portability
You may request that ppgamin provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so that you may transfer it to another service provider. Portability requests are fulfilled within thirty (30) business days.
Right to Data Blocking
Where the accuracy of personal data is contested, or processing is found to be unlawful, you may request that ppgamin suspend processing of the relevant data pending resolution of the dispute. Your account access will not be affected during this period.

- Consent: Processing for direct marketing communications and optional personalization features, where you have provided explicit, informed consent that you may withdraw at any time.
Where ppgamin relies on consent as the legal basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Withdrawal of consent will not affect your ability to access and use your ppgamin Account.

- Fraud prevention and security partners: Service providers who assist ppgamin in detecting and preventing unauthorized access, bonus abuse, and money laundering. Data shared is limited to technical and behavioral signals.

- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of ppgamin's assets, personal data held by ppgamin may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Affected Players will be notified in advance of any such transfer.
All third-party service providers who receive personal data from ppgamin are required to enter into data sharing agreements that obligate them to maintain confidentiality, implement appropriate security measures, and process personal data only for the purpose for which it was shared.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
ppgamin uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform to ensure core functionality, improve user experience, and support security operations. The following categories of cookies are used:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication cookies, security tokens, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
- Functional cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as language settings, game display preferences, and responsible gaming limit configurations. These persist across sessions to reduce repetitive setup.
- Analytics cookies: Used in anonymized, aggregated form to understand how Players navigate the Platform, which features are most used, and where technical issues occur. Individual user behavior is not retained in identifiable form for analytics purposes.
- Security and fraud prevention cookies: Used by ppgamin's fraud detection systems to identify suspicious patterns, detect bot activity, and protect against account takeover attempts.
ppgamin does not use third-party advertising or behavioral profiling cookies. You may manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the Platform.
Data Retention
ppgamin retains personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any legal obligations requiring longer retention. The following retention periods apply:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of the Account and for a period of five (5) years following Account closure, in compliance with Philippine AML regulations (RA 9160 as amended by RA 10167).
- Financial transaction records: Retained for five (5) years from the date of the transaction, as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act and applicable PAGCOR record-keeping requirements.
- Customer support communications: Retained for two (2) years from the date of the interaction, or longer where the communication relates to an active dispute or legal proceeding.
- Technical and usage data (logs): Retained for twelve (12) months for security and fraud monitoring purposes, after which they are permanently deleted or fully anonymized.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of the consent and for one (1) year following withdrawal of consent, as evidence of the consent transaction.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely destroyed using industry-standard deletion methods. Where complete deletion is not technically feasible (e.g., backup systems), data is isolated from active processing and deleted in the next scheduled purge cycle.
Data Security
ppgamin implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, disclosure, or alteration. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Platform;
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive personal and financial data stored at rest;
- Role-based access controls ensuring that personal data is accessible only to authorized personnel with a documented business need;
- Comprehensive audit logging of all access to personal data by ppgamin staff and system processes;
- Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of Platform infrastructure;
- Incident response procedures compliant with NPC breach notification requirements under the DPA.
Data Breach Notification: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to affected data subjects, ppgamin will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of discovery and will notify affected Players without undue delay, in accordance with NPC Circular 16-03.
While ppgamin maintains rigorous security standards, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your Account credentials and for logging out of the Platform on shared or public devices.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Some of ppgamin's service providers, including game platform technology partners and fraud prevention systems, may process data on servers located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, ppgamin ensures that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards, including:
- Data processing agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses that obligate the receiving party to protect personal data to a standard equivalent to the DPA;
- Transfers only to jurisdictions or entities that have been assessed as providing adequate protection for personal data;
- Contractual limitations restricting the receiving party from using the transferred data for any purpose beyond the specified service delivery function.
ppgamin does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that are subject to international sanctions or where data protection standards are demonstrably inadequate without first implementing compensating contractual safeguards approved by the NPC where required.
Children's Privacy
The ppgamin Platform is strictly for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, consistent with the minimum legal gambling age in the Philippines. ppgamin does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If ppgamin discovers or is notified that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21 years of age, the Account will be suspended immediately, all associated data will be deleted within thirty (30) days, and any funds deposited will be returned through the original payment method, net of any amounts wagered.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has created a ppgamin Account, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so that we can take immediate remedial action.
