phtaya.ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data protection agreements:
phtaya.ph is required by law to share certain player data with PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government agencies upon lawful request or as required by our operating license. We comply fully with all such legal obligations.
To process your deposits and withdrawals, we share necessary transaction data with our payment partners, including GCash (Mynt), PayMaya (Maya Bank), and partner banks (BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, Landbank, PNB, Security Bank). These providers process your data solely for payment facilitation purposes and are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable Philippine financial regulations.

phtaya.ph uses third-party cloud hosting, database, and security service providers to operate the platform. These providers may process your data as data processors acting on our instructions and are bound by data processing agreements that require them to maintain appropriate security standards.
Certain game providers whose titles are available on phtaya.ph may receive limited technical data (such as player session tokens) necessary to deliver the gaming experience. These providers do not receive your full personal profile and are contractually bound to use such data only for game delivery purposes.
No Third-Party Marketing: phtaya.ph does not share your personal data with third-party advertisers, marketing agencies, or data brokers for their own marketing purposes. Any marketing communications you receive from phtaya.ph are sent directly by us, based on your opt-in preferences.
phtaya.ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, enhance your experience, and analyze usage patterns. The following types of cookies are used:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Can Be Disabled? |

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, phtaya.ph will securely delete or anonymize your personal data in accordance with our data disposal procedures. Where data is anonymized rather than deleted, the anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes, as it can no longer be linked to any individual.
phtaya.ph implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
While phtaya.ph takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, please contact our support team immediately via live chat.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by phtaya.ph:
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer via email or live chat (see Section 16). We will respond to all valid requests within fifteen (15) business days. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations where data retention is required by law — for example, we cannot delete KYC records that we are legally required to retain under PAGCOR or AMLC regulations.
Marketing Opt-Out: If you have opted in to receive marketing communications from phtaya.ph and wish to opt out, you may do so at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email, by updating your notification preferences in your account settings, or by contacting our support team. Opting out of marketing communications will not affect the delivery of transactional or account-related communications.
phtaya.ph is strictly an adult gaming platform. Access to and use of the platform is prohibited for any person under the age of 21 years, in accordance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. phtaya.ph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age.
If phtaya.ph becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately close the associated account, forfeit any balance in accordance with our Terms & Conditions, and securely delete the personal data of the minor from our systems, subject to any legal retention obligations.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 21 years of age has registered an account with phtaya.ph, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or email so that we can take prompt action.
phtaya.ph primarily processes and stores personal data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or processed by service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or game software vendors with servers in other jurisdictions.
Where such cross-border transfers occur, phtaya.ph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including contractual data protection clauses that require the recipient to maintain standards equivalent to those required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. phtaya.ph will not transfer your personal data to a jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of data protection without first obtaining your consent or establishing another lawful basis for the transfer.
The phtaya.ph platform may reference or link to third-party services, such as payment providers (GCash, PayMaya) or game software providers. These third parties operate their own privacy policies, which are independent of this Privacy Policy. phtaya.ph is not responsible for the data practices of third-party services.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of phtaya.ph. In particular, when you use GCash or PayMaya to make a deposit or withdrawal, your transaction data is also subject to the privacy policy of the relevant e-wallet provider.
phtaya.ph reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect your privacy rights or how we use your data — we will provide at least seven (7) days' advance notice via email to your registered address or via an in-platform notification.
The "Effective Date" at the top of this document reflects the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of the phtaya.ph platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any amendment, you must cease using the platform and may request account closure in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how phtaya.ph protects your personal data.
For any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or your personal data rights, please contact the phtaya.ph Data Protection Officer through the following channels:
We will acknowledge all privacy-related requests within three (3) business days and aim to provide a full response within fifteen (15) business days. For complex requests, we may require additional time and will notify you accordingly.
If you are not satisfied with our response to your privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC). The NPC is the independent government body responsible for enforcing the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and protecting the privacy rights of Filipino citizens.
National Privacy Commission: For complaints or inquiries about data privacy rights in the Philippines, you may contact the NPC directly. phtaya.ph cooperates fully with all NPC investigations and compliance requirements under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Now that you know how phtaya.ph protects your personal data, you can play with full confidence. PAGCOR-regulated, DPA 2012 compliant, and built for Filipino players — your privacy and security are our priority.
