3. How We Use Your Data

vpph uses the personal data we collect for specific, legitimate purposes directly related to operating a compliant and secure online gaming platform for Filipino players. The specific purposes are:

• Account creation and management: To register your vpph account, maintain your player profile, and provide you with access to all platform features.
• Age and identity verification: To confirm that you are 21 years of age or older and physically located in the Philippines, as required under PAGCOR guidelines.
• KYC and anti-money laundering compliance: To verify the source of deposited funds, meet our legal obligations under Philippine anti-money laundering regulations, and fulfill PAGCOR reporting requirements.
• Payment processing: To process deposits via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa, and Mastercard, and to facilitate withdrawals to your verified payment method.
• Customer support: To respond to your inquiries, resolve disputes, and improve our service quality based on support interaction data.
• Fraud prevention and security: To detect and prevent unauthorized account access, bonus abuse, multi-accounting, collusion, and other prohibited conduct defined in our Terms & Conditions.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming patterns for signs of problematic gambling behavior and to apply self-exclusion or deposit limit settings you configure on your account.
• Platform analytics and improvement: To understand how players navigate vpph.net, identify technical issues, and prioritize feature improvements — using anonymized or aggregated data wherever possible.
• Regulatory reporting: To submit required reports to PAGCOR and other competent Philippine authorities when legally obligated to do so.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules, vpph relies on the following legal bases when processing your personal data:

• Contractual necessity: Processing your identity, account, and financial data is necessary to perform the service agreement established when you register a vpph account and accept our Terms & Conditions.
• Legal obligation: KYC verification, AML monitoring, PAGCOR reporting, and age verification are required by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulatory requirements. vpph cannot lawfully operate without performing this processing.
• Legitimate interests: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform analytics, and responsible gaming monitoring are carried out on the basis of vpph's legitimate interest in maintaining a safe, fair, and financially sound platform for all players.
• Consent: Where vpph processes your data for purposes beyond those listed above — such as sending you optional promotional communications — we will seek your explicit, informed consent prior to such processing, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

vpph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on vpph.net to ensure the platform functions correctly and to collect anonymized usage statistics. The types of cookies used are described below:

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the vpph platform to operate. They manage your login session, maintain your account authentication state, store your language and display preferences, and protect the platform against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without losing access to core platform features.

5.2 Analytics Cookies

vpph uses anonymized analytics cookies to understand aggregate player behavior — such as which pages receive the most visits, where players encounter errors, and how long typical sessions last. This data is used exclusively to improve the platform and is never linked back to your individual account identity.

5.3 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your settings between sessions, such as game lobby filters, notification preferences, and responsible gaming tool configurations. Disabling preference cookies means you will need to reconfigure these settings each time you visit vpph.net.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

vpph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your information only under the specific, limited circumstances described below:

6.1 Payment Processors

When you make a deposit or withdrawal, vpph shares the minimum necessary transaction data with the relevant payment service provider (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa, Mastercard) to complete the transaction. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies and applicable Philippine financial regulations.

6.2 Game Software Providers

Games hosted on the vpph platform are provided by licensed third-party software studios. These providers may receive anonymized session data (e.g., game round IDs, bet amounts) necessary to operate and audit their game engines. Personal identity data is not shared with game providers except where required for certified RNG auditing purposes.

6.3 KYC Verification Services

vpph may use regulated third-party identity verification services to cross-check documents submitted during KYC. These services are contractually bound to process your data solely for verification purposes and to delete raw document data after verification is complete.

6.4 Regulatory and Legal Authorities

vpph is legally required to disclose player data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or other competent Philippine authorities when we receive a lawful order, warrant, or regulatory direction to do so. vpph will notify you of such a disclosure where legally permitted.

7. Data Retention

vpph retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and for as long as required by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following retention periods apply:

When data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, vpph securely deletes or anonymizes it in accordance with industry-standard data destruction practices.

8. Your Rights Under the Data Privacy Act

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by vpph:

• Right to be Informed: You have the right to know what personal data vpph holds about you, why it is being processed, and with whom it has been shared.
• Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data vpph holds about you at any time. vpph will respond to access requests within a reasonable period and at no charge for the first request per calendar year.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Some corrections (e.g., legal name changes) may require supporting documentation.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to vpph's legal retention obligations. vpph cannot erase data that must be retained for regulatory compliance.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive a structured, commonly used copy of the personal data you provided to vpph, in a format that allows you to transfer it to another service provider where technically feasible.
• Right to Object: You may object to vpph processing your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling. vpph will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe vpph has violated your data privacy rights under Philippine law, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) at privacy.gov.ph.

9. Data Security

vpph employs a layered approach to data security to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Our security measures include:

• Encryption in transit: All data exchanged between your browser and vpph.net is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Never enter your vpph credentials on a page that does not display a valid HTTPS connection.
• Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in vpph's databases — including KYC documents and payment identifiers — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
• Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to vpph staff who require it for their specific role. Access is granted on a least-privilege basis and is subject to regular internal audit.
• Two-factor authentication: vpph offers 2FA to all registered players and requires it for administrative access to systems that process personal data.
• Penetration testing and vulnerability management: vpph conducts periodic security assessments and promptly patches identified vulnerabilities in line with responsible disclosure practices.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in harm to your rights and freedoms, vpph will notify you and the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required under the Data Privacy Act's implementing rules.

10. Children's Privacy

vpph's platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 years and above, in compliance with Philippine law governing online gaming. vpph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step during registration, and vpph performs KYC checks to confirm that all players meet the minimum age requirement.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on vpph.net, please contact our support team immediately using the email address listed in the footer of this page so we can take prompt action.

11. International Data Transfers

vpph's primary data processing infrastructure is located within the Philippines. However, some third-party service providers engaged by vpph — such as game software studios or cloud infrastructure providers — may be based outside the Philippines and may process your data in their respective jurisdictions.

Where international data transfers occur, vpph ensures that an adequate level of protection is in place through one or more of the following mechanisms:

• Data processing agreements that bind the third party to privacy and security standards equivalent to those required under Philippine law.
• Transfer to countries recognized by the National Privacy Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.
• Standard contractual clauses approved for use under applicable data protection frameworks.

You may request information about the specific safeguards in place for any international transfer involving your data by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

vpph may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable Philippine law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised whenever a material change is made.

For material changes — meaning amendments that meaningfully affect how we collect, use, or share your personal data — vpph will notify registered players through one or more of the following channels:

• An email notification to the address registered on your vpph account.
• A prominent in-platform notification displayed upon your next login.
• A notice on the vpph homepage.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of vpph following the publication of an updated policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. If you disagree with any amendment, you may request account closure and vpph will process your remaining real-money balance in accordance with the Terms & Conditions.
