• Consent: For marketing communications and certain non-essential cookies, ph359 relies on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

All third parties with whom ph359 shares personal data are required to handle that data in accordance with applicable Philippine data privacy laws and ph359's data protection standards.

ph359 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following general retention periods apply:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, ph359 will securely delete or anonymize your personal data in accordance with NPC-approved data disposal procedures. Where data is anonymized rather than deleted, the anonymized data may be retained for analytical purposes without limitation, as it can no longer be linked to any individual.

ph359 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the ph359 Platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored on ph359 servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption or equivalent standards.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to ph359 personnel and authorized third parties who have a legitimate need to access it. All access is logged and audited.
• Two-Factor Authentication: ph359 offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts and enforces 2FA for all internal administrative access to systems containing personal data.
• Regular Security Audits: ph359 conducts regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential security weaknesses.
• Incident Response: ph359 maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, ph359 will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players in accordance with the requirements of RA 10173.

While ph359 takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. ph359 cannot guarantee absolute security and encourages players to use strong, unique passwords and to enable 2FA on their ph359 accounts.
