85ph Casino Privacy Policy

85ph Casino ("85ph," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every individual who interacts with the 85ph online gaming platform, accessible at 85ph.asia. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes our practices with respect to the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and protection of personal data in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines ("DPA"), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

This Policy applies to all personal data collected through: the 85ph website and mobile-optimised platform; account registration and KYC verification processes; financial transactions including deposits and withdrawals; customer support communications; and promotional activities. By accessing or using the 85ph platform, you agree to the terms of this Policy. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the 85ph platform and contact [email protected] to request account closure.

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Policy, 85ph Casino is the Personal Information Controller in respect of the personal data processed in connection with the 85ph platform. We determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data and are responsible for ensuring that such processing is carried out lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

85ph operates the online gaming platform at 85ph.asia, offering live casino, slots, sports betting, bingo, fishing arcade games, and associated promotional services to eligible adult players (21+) in the Philippines. All data processing activities described in this Policy are carried out in furtherance of that core business purpose.

85ph collects the following categories of personal data from players and prospective players. We only collect data that is necessary, relevant, and not excessive relative to the purposes described in Section 5.

85ph does not collect or process sensitive personal information as defined under Section 3(l) of the DPA (such as health data, religious affiliation, political views, or biometric data beyond what is required for identity verification) unless strictly necessary and with your explicit consent.

85ph collects personal data through the following channels:

• Direct provision by you: Information you supply when registering your account, completing KYC verification, making a deposit or withdrawal, contacting customer support, or participating in a promotion.
• Automated technical collection: Data collected automatically when you access the 85ph platform, including IP addresses, device identifiers, browser information, and session data via cookies and server logs.
• Payment processing partners: Transaction confirmation data from GCash, PayMaya, BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and UnionBank when you initiate a deposit or withdrawal — limited to what is necessary to process and verify the transaction.
• Identity verification service providers: If 85ph uses a third-party KYC service provider to verify government-issued ID documents, the provider shares verification outcome and relevant document data with 85ph.
• Anti-fraud and compliance systems: Data from fraud prevention tools and sanctions screening services used to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations under Philippine law.

85ph processes your personal data for the following specific and legitimate purposes:

1. Account registration and management: To create, maintain, and administer your 85ph player account, including username setup, password management, and account preference settings.
2. Identity verification and KYC compliance: To verify your identity, age (21+ confirmation), and eligibility to use the 85ph platform, as required under applicable Philippine online gaming regulations.
3. Payment processing: To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through your chosen local payment channel (GCash, PayMaya, BDO, BPI, Metrobank, UnionBank).
4. Game provision and platform delivery: To deliver the games, services, and features available on the 85ph platform and to maintain platform functionality and performance.
5. Regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering: To comply with obligations under Philippine law including the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), as amended, PAGCOR licensing requirements, and the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
6. Fraud prevention and security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, account abuse, collusion, and other prohibited conduct as defined in the 85ph Terms and Conditions.
7. Responsible gaming: To monitor player activity for signs of problem gambling behaviour and to enforce responsible gaming tools set by the player (deposit limits, self-exclusion, cooling-off periods).
8. Customer support: To respond to player enquiries, resolve disputes, and provide technical assistance.
9. Marketing communications (consent-based only): To send promotional notifications about 85ph bonuses, new games, and seasonal campaigns — only where the player has explicitly opted in. See Section 13 for opt-out details.
10. Platform improvement and analytics: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage patterns to improve the 85ph platform experience, game selection, and payment flow design.

Under Section 12 and Section 13 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 85ph processes personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual necessity: Processing necessary to fulfil the agreement between 85ph and the player — including account management, payment processing, and game delivery.
• Compliance with a legal obligation: Processing required by Philippine law, including KYC/AML obligations under the AMLA, PAGCOR licensing conditions, and the DPA itself.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring — where such interests are not overridden by the player's privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and optional features — carried out only where the player has given free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

85ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

• Payment service providers: GCash, PayMaya, BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and UnionBank receive the minimum data necessary to process your deposit or withdrawal transactions.
• Identity verification partners: Third-party KYC and identity document verification providers engaged by 85ph receive identity data for the sole purpose of verifying your eligibility and identity.
• Game software providers: Your gaming activity data is shared with the applicable game provider to deliver the game, calculate outcomes, and manage jackpot pools — limited to what is technically necessary.
• Anti-fraud and compliance services: Fraud detection and sanctions screening service providers receive data necessary to detect financial crime and ensure compliance with the AMLA and applicable PAGCOR regulations.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: 85ph will disclose personal data to the National Privacy Commission (NPC), PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or other competent Philippine authorities when required by law or lawful order.
• Professional advisers: Legal counsel, auditors, and accountants engaged by 85ph may access personal data on a need-to-know basis under strict confidentiality obligations.

All third parties with whom 85ph shares personal data are required under contract to maintain confidentiality and to process shared data only for the specific purpose for which it was shared, in compliance with the DPA and applicable data protection standards.

The 85ph platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide platform functionality, improve user experience, support security measures, and analyse aggregated usage patterns. By continuing to use the 85ph platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this section.

The following types of cookies are used on the 85ph platform:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function — session management, authentication tokens, security identifiers. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
• Functional cookies: Store your account preferences, language settings, and responsible gaming configurations between sessions.
• Performance and analytics cookies: Collect anonymised and aggregated data about how players use the 85ph platform — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and which game categories are most popular. This data informs platform improvement decisions.
• Marketing cookies (consent-based): Used only where you have opted in to marketing communications. These track which promotional messages have been shown and whether they resulted in engagement. You may opt out of marketing cookies at any time via your account settings.

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair the functionality of the 85ph platform. Disabling other cookies will not affect your ability to play but may result in loss of saved preferences.

85ph retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The following retention periods apply:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any individual player, subject to any mandatory extended retention obligations under Philippine law.

85ph implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and the 85ph platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) — the padlock icon in your browser confirms this protection is active.
• Password hashing: Account passwords are never stored in plain text. 85ph uses bcrypt hashing with an appropriate work factor, meaning that even in the event of a data breach, passwords cannot be reversed to their original form.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within 85ph's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.
• Two-factor authentication: Players may enable SMS OTP-based 2FA on their 85ph accounts as an additional layer of protection against unauthorised login.
• Intrusion detection and monitoring: 85ph systems are monitored for unauthorised access attempts, unusual activity patterns, and potential security incidents in real time.
• Third-party security audits: The 85ph platform is subject to periodic security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) of the Philippines, every player whose personal data is processed by 85ph has the following rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact the 85ph Data Privacy Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Request."

85ph will respond to all formally submitted privacy rights requests within fifteen (15) business days. In complex cases, a brief extension may apply, and you will be notified of the reason for any delay within the original 15-day window.

The 85ph platform is strictly intended for adults aged twenty-one (21) years and above in accordance with Philippine online gaming regulations. 85ph does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under 21 years of age.

Age verification is conducted as part of the mandatory KYC process for all 85ph accounts. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended, all gaming activity will be voided, and any deposited funds will be returned to the originating payment method after deduction of any bonuses received. The matter may be reported to the relevant Philippine authorities.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered or used an 85ph account, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

85ph may send promotional communications about new games, bonuses, seasonal promotions (including New Year campaigns), and platform updates to players who have explicitly opted in to receiving such communications during account registration or at any subsequent point via account settings.

Marketing communications may be delivered by the following channels where consent has been obtained:

• SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number
• Email to your registered email address
• In-platform notifications when logged in to your 85ph account

You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by: (a) updating your communication preferences in Account Settings after logging in to 85ph; or (b) contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Marketing Opt-Out." Opt-out requests are processed within five (5) business days. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your access to the 85ph platform or any other account services.

85ph primarily processes personal data within the Philippines. In limited circumstances — including where 85ph engages game software providers, KYC verification partners, or fraud prevention services headquartered outside the Philippines — personal data may be transferred to and processed in other countries.

Any cross-border transfer of personal data by 85ph is carried out only where:

• The receiving country has been assessed to provide an adequate level of data protection comparable to the standards required under the Philippine DPA; or
• 85ph has implemented appropriate contractual safeguards — including data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses — binding the receiving party to process data only for specified purposes and to maintain security standards equivalent to those required by the DPA; or
• The transfer is necessary for the performance of the contract between 85ph and the player (e.g., processing a payment through an international payment processor).

Players may request information about the specific cross-border transfer safeguards applicable to their personal data by contacting [email protected].

85ph reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in data processing practices, applicable law, or platform functionality. Material changes — such as new categories of data collected, new purposes of processing, or new third-party sharing arrangements — will be communicated to registered players via in-platform notice and, where practicable, via SMS to their registered Philippine mobile number, at least seven (7) days before the change takes effect.

Minor non-material changes (such as typographical corrections, structural reorganisation, or clarification of existing practices without substantive change) may be implemented without prior notice. The effective date at the top of this Policy will reflect the date of the most recent revision.

The current version of this Privacy Policy is always available at 85ph.asia/privacy-policy. Continued use of the 85ph platform following a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

For all data privacy-related queries, requests to exercise your rights under the DPA, or complaints about how 85ph handles your personal data, contact the 85ph Data Privacy Officer using the following details:

• Email: [email protected] (please use subject line "Data Privacy Request")
• Response Timeframe: 15 business days for all formal DPA rights requests
• Support Hours: Daily, 9:00 AM – 12:00 MN Philippine Standard Time

If you are not satisfied with 85ph's response to a privacy complaint, you have the right to escalate the matter to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines, the independent authority responsible for enforcement of the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Information about the NPC's complaint process is publicly available through the NPC's official channels.
