Privacy Policy – 979ph

Introduction

979ph takes the privacy of its players seriously. As a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming platform serving Filipino players, 979ph is subject to multiple layers of legal obligations regarding personal data – from the Data Privacy Act of 2012 enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines, to the anti-money laundering data obligations under Republic Act No. 9160 (AMLA), to PAGCOR's own data handling requirements for licensed gaming operators.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected through the 979ph website at 979ph.cam, through any communications you initiate with 979ph's support team, and through any transaction records generated by your use of the platform. It does not apply to the websites or services of third-party game providers, payment processors, or any other external service whose links may appear in the context of using 979ph.

This Policy should be read together with the 979ph Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall relationship between you and the platform, including account registration, gameplay, deposits, and withdrawals.

• Create, authenticate, and manage your 979ph account and ensure its security.

979ph does not make fully automated decisions about your account that produce significant legal effects solely on the basis of automated processing, without human review being available upon request.

Third-Party Data Sharing

979ph does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We share personal data only in the following limited and necessary circumstances:

7.1 Game Providers

To deliver game content, 979ph shares the minimum necessary session data (such as a session token and account reference) with game providers including JILI, PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, and others whose titles appear in the lobby. Game providers do not receive your full KYC profile or financial account details.

7.2 Payment Service Providers

To process deposits and withdrawals, 979ph shares the transaction details and account references required by the relevant payment provider (GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and others). Payment providers are bound by their own data protection obligations under Philippine financial regulations.

7.3 Identity Verification Services

979ph uses authorized third-party KYC service providers to assist with identity document verification. These providers process identity documents solely for the purpose of verifying your identity against your account registration details and return a verification result to 979ph.

7.4 Regulatory Authorities

979ph is required to share transaction data, identity records, and account activity with PAGCOR as part of its licensing obligations. Additionally, 979ph is legally obligated to report suspicious transactions to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) under the AMLA. Such disclosures are made in strict compliance with the applicable legal framework and are not subject to your consent requirement.

7.5 Law Enforcement

979ph will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, or other government authorities where compelled to do so by a valid court order, subpoena, or other lawful process under Philippine law.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

979ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, maintain your session security, and analyze usage patterns. The following types of cookies are used:

8.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session authentication tokens that keep you logged in during a gaming session, security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery, and load-balancing cookies that ensure consistent server performance. These cookies do not require your consent as they are technically necessary.

8.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences on the platform, such as your preferred language, game lobby view settings, and responsible gaming tool configurations. They are set on the basis of your implicit consent through continued platform use.

8.3 Analytics Cookies

979ph uses aggregated, anonymized analytics to understand how players navigate the platform, which game categories receive the most traffic, and where technical errors occur. Analytics data is processed in aggregated form and is not linked back to individual player identities for marketing purposes.

8.4 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform. Instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and most standard Android and iOS browsers all provide cookie management options).

Data Security Measures

979ph implements a layered approach to data security, combining technical controls, organizational policies, and regular audits to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser and 979ph's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL), ensuring that your login credentials, financial data, and personal information are protected from interception.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data and financial records stored in 979ph's systems are encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within 979ph's systems is restricted to personnel who require it for their specific role. Access is governed by role-based permissions, and all access is logged and auditable.
• Multi-Factor Authentication: Administrative access to 979ph's backend systems requires multi-factor authentication. Player accounts support OTP verification as an additional security layer.
• Intrusion Detection and Monitoring: 979ph employs continuous network monitoring and intrusion detection systems to identify and respond to unauthorized access attempts in real time.
• Third-Party Security Assessments: 979ph conducts periodic security assessments of its platform and the third-party services it integrates with, to ensure ongoing compliance with data security standards.

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms as required by the DPA 2012, 979ph will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected Players without undue delay.

Data Retention

979ph retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. The following general retention periods apply:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents re-identification, unless an ongoing legal obligation or regulatory requirement necessitates extended retention.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights as a data subject. 979ph is committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights within the timelines and procedures prescribed by the DPA 2012 and the NPC's issuances.

To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to the 979ph Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Request – [Right Type]." Requests will be acknowledged within three (3) business days and resolved within thirty (30) calendar days, or such extended period as is permitted under the DPA 2012 for complex requests, with notice provided to you.

Children & Minors

979ph's platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. 979ph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. This is not merely a platform policy – it is a mandatory requirement under 979ph's PAGCOR gaming license, which prohibits the participation of minors in any online gaming activity.

If 979ph discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe that an account has been registered by a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all winnings will be forfeited, and deposited funds will be returned to the original payment source after verification. All personal data associated with the minor's account will be securely deleted after the requisite regulatory reporting obligations are satisfied.

If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has registered an account on 979ph, they should contact the support team immediately at [email protected]. 979ph will treat such notifications as high priority and take immediate action.

International Data Transfers

979ph's primary operations and data processing infrastructure are based in the Philippines. Where certain technical platform functions – such as game delivery, payment gateway processing, or cloud hosting – involve data being processed by servers or service providers located outside the Philippines, 979ph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place.

These safeguards include contractual clauses that require the recipient to process personal data to a standard equivalent to the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and a restriction on further onward transfer without 979ph's authorization. International transfers are limited to what is strictly necessary for platform operations and are not conducted for marketing or profiling purposes.

Players who wish to understand more about specific international transfer arrangements may submit a query to the 979ph Data Protection Officer using the contact details in Section 15.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

979ph reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory requirements, or platform features. Material changes – meaning changes that significantly affect how your personal data is collected, used, or shared – will be communicated to active Players by email notification to the registered address on file and by in-platform notification upon next login, at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.

Minor or administrative updates (such as corrections of typographical errors or clarifications that do not alter the substance of the Policy) may be made without prior notice. The effective date at the top of this Policy reflects the date of the most recent review.

Continued use of the 979ph platform after the effective date of any Policy update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Policy. The current version of this Privacy Policy is always accessible at 979ph.cam/privacy-policy.
