ph578 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform to enhance your user experience, maintain session state, and analyse platform usage. The following categories of cookies are used:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly, including maintaining your logged-in session and remembering your preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players use the ph578 platform — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and how players navigate between game categories. This data helps ph578 improve the platform experience.
• Security cookies: Used to detect fraudulent login attempts, unusual session activity, and geographic anomalies that may indicate account compromise.

You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect your ability to log in to and use certain features of the ph578 platform. ph578 does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

ph578 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, and in any case for the minimum periods required by applicable Philippine law:

After the applicable retention period has expired, ph578 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data unless a longer retention period is required by a specific legal obligation.

The ph578 platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. ph578 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from any person under 21 years of age. This age requirement is mandated by PAGCOR regulations governing online casino-style gaming in the Philippines.

If ph578 discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe that personal data has been collected from a person below the age of 21, we will immediately close the associated account, delete or anonymise the personal data collected, and return any deposited funds following applicable verification procedures.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered an account with ph578, please contact our support team immediately via live chat at ph578.vip.

ph578 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes — those that significantly affect how we collect or use your personal data — will be communicated to registered players via SMS to their registered Philippine mobile number and/or through a notice on the ph578 platform, at least seven (7) days before the change takes effect.

Non-material updates, such as clarifications of existing practices or corrections of typographical errors, may be implemented without prior notice. The date of the most recent revision is always displayed at the top of this Policy. Continued use of the ph578 platform following the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
