p898 is committed to protecting the personal information of every Filipino player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you hold as a data subject under Philippine law.
Six principles that govern how p898 handles every player's personal data
p898 collects only the personal information that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, payment processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data beyond what our operations genuinely require.
All personal and financial data transmitted between your device and p898 servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive data at rest — including payment details and identity documents — is encrypted using AES-256 standards.
Filipino players are protected by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). p898 fully recognises and facilitates your rights under the DPA, including the right to access, correct, erase, and port your personal data.
p898 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Data is shared only with trusted service providers under strict contractual obligations and with regulatory bodies as required by law.
p898 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Account data is retained for a minimum of 5 years following account closure as required by PAGCOR AML regulations.
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach affecting p898 players, p898 will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected data subjects within the timeframes mandated by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules.
