PHDream25 Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At PHDream25, protecting the privacy of our players is something we take seriously — not just because the law requires it, but because it is the right thing to do. This Privacy Policy explains how PHDream25 collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit our website at phdream25.click or use any of our online gaming services.

This policy applies to all registered members, visitors, and anyone who interacts with the PHDream25 platform in the Philippines. By creating an account or continuing to use our services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you are not comfortable with any part of this document, please contact us before proceeding.

PHDream25 complies with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and all related implementing rules issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Your rights under Philippine law are clearly explained in Section 8 of this policy.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

When you register and use PHDream25, we collect different types of personal information depending on how you interact with the platform. Here is a breakdown of the main categories:

Category	Examples	When Collected
Identity Data	Full name, date of birth, nationality, government-issued ID number	Registration & KYC verification
Contact Data	Email address, mobile number, home address	Account creation & updates
Financial Data	GCash/Maya wallet reference, bank account details (for withdrawals), transaction history	Deposits & withdrawals
Gaming Data	Bet history, game preferences, session durations, win/loss records	While using the platform
Technical Data	IP address, device type, browser, operating system, cookies	Automatically on each visit
Communication Data	Support chat logs, email correspondence, survey responses	When you contact us

We collect only the minimum data necessary for each purpose. Where possible, we anonymise or pseudonymise data to reduce privacy risk.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

PHDream25 uses the personal information it collects for the following lawful purposes:

• Account management — creating, maintaining, and securing your PHDream25 account
• Identity verification (KYC) — confirming you meet the legal age requirement (21+) and comply with Philippine gaming regulations
• Payment processing — handling deposits and withdrawals via GCash, Maya, GrabPay, InstaPay, and other local payment channels in ₱
• Platform security — detecting fraud, money laundering, bonus abuse, and other prohibited activity
• Customer support — responding to your queries and resolving disputes efficiently
• Legal compliance — meeting our obligations under Philippine law, PAGCOR regulations, and AML reporting requirements
• Personalisation — tailoring game recommendations and promotions to your preferences (with your consent)
• Analytics and improvement — understanding how players use the platform to improve features and performance

We will never use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected. If we plan to use it for a new purpose, we will inform you and, where required by law, seek your consent first.

4. When and With Whom We Share Your Data

PHDream25 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share it with trusted third parties only in the following limited situations:

• Payment processors — GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, Visa/Mastercard networks — to complete your financial transactions
• Identity verification providers — licensed KYC/AML service providers that help us verify your identity and comply with Philippine law
• Game software providers — our licensed game suppliers receive limited session data to ensure fair play and resolve disputes
• Regulatory and law enforcement bodies — PAGCOR, the National Privacy Commission, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or law enforcement when legally required
• IT and infrastructure providers — cloud hosting and security services that operate our platform under strict data processing agreements

All third parties that process your data on our behalf are bound by confidentiality obligations and are only permitted to use your data for the specific purpose for which it was shared. PHDream25 remains responsible for ensuring these partners uphold the same privacy standards we do.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

PHDream25 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work properly and to improve your experience. Here is what we use and why:

• Essential cookies — required for the website to function. These keep you logged in, maintain your session, and remember your preferences. You cannot opt out of these without affecting platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how players navigate the site (e.g., which games are most popular, where users drop off). This data is aggregated and anonymised.
• Preference cookies — remember your language, currency, and display settings so you do not have to set them every time.
• Security cookies — detect suspicious login attempts and protect your account from unauthorised access.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the PHDream25 platform. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

PHDream25 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. The general retention periods we follow are:

• Account and identity data — retained for the lifetime of your account plus five (5) years after account closure, as required by AML regulations
• Transaction and financial records — kept for a minimum of five (5) years as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act
• Gaming and session data — retained for two (2) years from the date of the session
• Support communications — retained for two (2) years after the case is closed
• Marketing consent records — kept for as long as you remain subscribed, then for one (1) year after you opt out

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you.

7. How We Protect Your Data

PHDream25 applies multiple layers of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• TLS/SSL encryption — all data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols
• Data-at-rest encryption — sensitive data stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) — available for all player accounts to add an extra layer of login security
• Access controls — only authorised PHDream25 personnel with a legitimate business need can access personal data, under strict role-based permissions
• Regular security audits — our systems undergo periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
• Incident response plan — in the event of a data breach, we will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by Philippine law

While we do everything reasonable to protect your data, no system is 100% immune to risk. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your PHDream25 account and enable 2FA in your account settings.

8. Your Data Privacy Rights Under Philippine Law
