Last updated: June 2025. This Privacy Policy explains how phmacao collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our platform. By registering or accessing the site, you agree to the practices described here.
When you registerfor an account on phmacao, we collect personal information that is necessary to verify your identity and provide you with a safe gaming experience. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history in order to process deposits and withdrawals accurately. When you use our platform, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and improve the overall performance of the platform. We may also collect information you voluntarily provide when contacting our support team, such as the nature of your enquiry and any attachments you submit. All data collection is conducted in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines.
The personal information we collect is used primarily to operate and maintain your phmacao account, process transactions, and deliver the gaming services you have requested. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our policies or platform features. Your identity and financial information is used to comply with our Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations and to prevent money laundering, fraud, and underage gambling. We may use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform usage trends and improve our product offerings for Filipino players. If you have opted in to marketing communications, we may send you promotional messages about new games, sports events, or special offers — you can opt out at any time by contacting [email protected]. We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions that produce significant legal effects without human review. Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third-party advertisers for their own marketing purposes.
phmacao does not sell or trade your personal information to any third party under any circumstances. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and cloud hosting providers — all of whom are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. In cases where we are legally required to do so, we may disclose your information to government authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies in the Philippines. We may also share data with fraud prevention agencies to protect both our platform and our players from financial crime. Any third party that receives your data is required to maintain appropriate security measures and is prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond what is strictly necessary. We will notify you of any material changes to our data-sharing practices as soon as reasonably practicable. All data transfers are conducted over encrypted channels to minimise the risk of unauthorised interception.
Your personal data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to protect against unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss. We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by Philippine law and our regulatory obligations. Sensitive financial data such as payment card details is never stored directly on our servers — transactions are handled by certified payment processors who maintain their own compliance standards. Our internal access controls ensure that only authorised personnel with a legitimate business need can access your personal information. We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and address potential security weaknesses in our systems. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities within the timeframes required by law. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phmacao account and to enable any available two-factor authentication options.
As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed about how your personal data is collected and processed, and to access a copy of the information we hold about you at any time. You have the right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your account by updating your profile or contacting our support team. You may request the deletion or blocking of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, and we will honour such requests promptly. If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your full name, registered email address, and a clear description of your request. We aim to respond to all data rights requests within fifteen (15) business days.

phmacao reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players via their registered email address. Your continued use of the platform after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how we protect your data. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data handling practices, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
