At phjoy16, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we build and operate our platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have as a Filipino player under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
These six commitments summarize how phjoy16 approaches data privacy for every Filipino player on our platform.
phjoy16 fully complies with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. We are registered with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and maintain a designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee all privacy matters.
All data transmitted between your device and the phjoy16 platform is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by Philippine banks. Your login credentials, personal details, and financial information are encrypted at every step, in transit and at rest.
phjoy16 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers or data brokers — ever. Your information is used solely to operate your account, comply with PAGCOR and AMLA regulations, and improve your experience on the phjoy16 platform. Full stop.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data. phjoy16 provides a straightforward process for exercising these rights. Submit a request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] and we will respond within 15 business days.
phjoy16 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, verify your identity as required by PAGCOR and AMLA, process your transactions, and provide customer support. We do not collect data for its own sake — every data point we hold has a clear, lawful purpose.
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights and freedoms, phjoy16 will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours and inform affected Players without undue delay, in accordance with NPC Circular 16-03 and the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
