All data transmissions are encrypted end-to-end using TLS 1.3.

Data is stored on encrypted servers with restricted access controls.
ph499 is clear about why it collects data and how long it keeps it.
ph499 ("ph499," "we," "us," or "our") operates the online gaming platform and website at ph499.club (the "Platform"). ph499 takes the privacy and security of personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how ph499 collects, processes, stores, discloses, and protects personal data relating to registered players and Platform visitors ("you" or "User") in connection with the use of ph499 services.
This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 ("DPA"), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission ("NPC") of the Philippines. By registering for a ph499 account or by continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the ph499 Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall use of the Platform.
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, ph499 acts as the Personal Information Controller ("PIC") in respect of personal data collected from Platform users. ph499 is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal data. Where ph499 engages third-party service providers to process data on its behalf, those parties act as Personal Information Processors ("PIP") under written agreements that bind them to process data only on ph499's instructions and in compliance with the DPA.
ph499's designated Data Protection Officer ("DPO") may be contacted via the email address provided in Section 14 of this Policy for all data privacy-related matters.
When you create a ph499 account, we collect: full legal name, date of birth (for 21+ age verification), Philippine mobile number (09xx format) or email address used as login identifier, and a password (stored only as a cryptographic hash — never in readable form).
To comply with Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) requirements and PAGCOR-aligned standards, ph499 collects identity verification documents before processing withdrawals. This includes: a copy of a valid government-issued Philippine ID (PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's licence, SSS/GSIS ID, or PRC ID), a selfie photograph, and in some cases, proof of source of funds or proof of address.
ph499 collects records of all deposits and withdrawals, including: payment method used (GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, etc.), transaction amounts in PHP, transaction timestamps, and payment provider reference numbers. ph499 does not store full credit or debit card numbers — card payments are tokenised by the payment processor.
ph499 collects records of games played, bets placed, outcomes, session durations, and bonus usage. This data is used for game integrity monitoring, responsible gaming programme management, and the fulfilment of regulatory reporting obligations.
When you access ph499, we automatically collect: IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, approximate geographic location (city level, derived from IP), session start and end times, and page interaction logs. This data is used for fraud detection, security monitoring, and Platform performance optimisation.
Records of communications between you and ph499 customer support — whether via live chat, email, or in-Platform messaging — are retained for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and regulatory audit purposes.
ph499 processes your personal data for the following purposes:
ph499 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases under Section 12 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012:
ph499 shares personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who process data on ph499's behalf under written data processing agreements. These providers include: payment processors (GCash, Maya, banks), KYC/AML verification platforms, game software providers, cloud infrastructure providers, and customer support tools. All processors are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than the specific service they provide to ph499.
ph499 is required by Philippine law to disclose certain transaction and player data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) upon lawful demand. ph499 will comply with such demands in accordance with applicable legal procedure.
ph499 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial marketing purposes. Data is shared externally only as described in this Policy and strictly to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of ph499 assets, personal data held by ph499 may be transferred to the successor entity. Affected users will be notified in advance, and data will continue to be processed under terms at least as protective as this Policy.
ph499 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform for the following purposes:
You may manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit the functionality of the ph499 Platform. ph499 does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising on its Platform.
ph499 retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this Policy or as required by applicable Philippine law:
On expiry of the applicable retention period, ph499 will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise the relevant personal data.
ph499 implements technical and organisational security measures commensurate with the sensitivity of the personal data processed. These include:
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in harm to affected users, ph499 will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach and will notify affected users without undue delay, as required by the DPA.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ph499:
To exercise any of these rights, contact ph499's Data Protection Officer at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). ph499 will respond within 15 calendar days of receiving a verifiable request.
The ph499 Platform is strictly intended for persons aged 21 years or older. ph499 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. In accordance with Philippine gambling regulations, age verification is conducted at registration and again at the point of first withdrawal. If ph499 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, the relevant account will be immediately suspended, data will be securely deleted, and the matter may be referred to the appropriate authorities. If you believe an underage person has registered with ph499, please report this to [email protected] immediately.
ph499 primarily stores and processes personal data on servers located within or accessible from the Philippines. Where the use of certain technology service providers necessitates the transfer of personal data to servers outside the Philippines (for example, cloud infrastructure providers with international data centres), ph499 ensures that such transfers are protected by: (a) contractual obligations requiring the recipient to maintain data protection standards equivalent to those under the Philippine DPA; (b) the recipient's certification under a recognised data protection framework; or (c) other appropriate safeguards as recognised by the National Privacy Commission. ph499 will not transfer personal data internationally where doing so would undermine the protections afforded under the DPA.
ph499 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Platform, applicable Philippine law, or ph499's data processing practices. Material changes will be communicated to registered users via in-Platform notification or email at least 7 days before taking effect. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version was published. Your continued use of the ph499 Platform after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. ph499 recommends reviewing this Policy periodically.
For any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, to exercise your data subject rights, or to report a data privacy concern, please contact ph499's Data Protection Officer:
If you are not satisfied with ph499's response to your data privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC). Information on how to file a complaint with the NPC is available on the NPC's official website.
