5. Data Security Measures

phjpin implements comprehensive technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• Encryption: All data transmission between your device and our servers uses industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption (256-bit). Sensitive information stored in our databases is encrypted at rest.
• Access Controls: Strict role-based access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can access personal data, and only to the extent necessary for their job functions. All access is logged and audited.
• Secure Data Centers: Our servers are hosted in Philippine data centers with 24/7 physical security, environmental controls, redundant power supplies, and intrusion detection systems.
• Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential risks.
• Employee Training: All phjpin personnel receive data protection and security awareness training, and are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality.
• Incident Response: We maintain a documented incident response plan to quickly detect, contain, and remediate any security breaches. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as required by law.

While we employ robust security measures, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and should immediately notify us if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Be Informed: You have the right to know how your personal information is collected, used, and shared, as explained in this Privacy Policy.
• Right to Access: You may request copies of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this information in a commonly used electronic format.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information. You can update most information directly through your account settings.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and regulatory retention requirements. Note that account closure does not automatically delete all records, as we must retain certain information to comply with PAGCOR regulations and anti-money laundering laws.
• Right to Object: You may object to certain processing activities, such as direct marketing communications. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in our messages.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format that can be transmitted to another service provider.
• Right to File a Complaint: If you believe we have violated your privacy rights, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request." We will respond to your request within 15 days as required by Philippine law. Some requests may require identity verification to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods include:

• Active Accounts: Personal information is retained while your account remains active and for at least 5 years after account closure to comply with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records, including deposits, withdrawals, and betting history, are retained for at least 5 years as required by anti-money laundering regulations.
• Identity Verification Documents: Copies of government-issued IDs and supporting verification documents are retained for at least 5 years following account closure.
• Communication Records: Customer support interactions and correspondence are retained for 3 years for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Marketing Data: If you consent to receive marketing communications, we retain your contact preferences until you withdraw consent or your account is closed.

After applicable retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your personal information. Anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and research purposes, as it can no longer identify you as an individual.
