abcph processes personal data on the following legal bases in accordance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (the "DPA"), and its implementing rules and regulations as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines:
- Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and abcph — i.e., to operate your account, process transactions, and deliver gaming services;
- Legal obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable Philippine laws, including anti-money laundering regulations, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, and tax reporting obligations;
- Legitimate interests: Processing is carried out for abcph's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming enforcement, provided such interests are not overridden by your rights;
- Consent: Where required by the DPA, abcph will seek your explicit consent before processing personal data for specific purposes, such as direct marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting abcph support or adjusting your account notification preferences.
6. Sharing Your Data with Third Parties
abcph may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data protection agreements:
6.1 Payment Service Providers
Processing your deposits and withdrawals requires sharing relevant financial data with payment service providers including GCash, Maya (PayMaya), GrabPay, InstaPay, PesoNet, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and 7-Eleven CLiQQ. These providers receive only the minimum data necessary to process your specific transaction.
6.2 Identity Verification Providers
abcph uses third-party Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) service providers to verify the identity of players and screen for sanctions list entries or politically exposed persons (PEPs). These providers process your identity documents and verification data under strict confidentiality obligations.
6.3 Game Content Suppliers
Third-party game providers (including but not limited to JILI, PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, Spade Gaming, and Evolution Gaming) may receive limited session and player data necessary to operate game software and resolve game-related disputes. Game providers do not receive full identity or financial data beyond what is technically required to operate their games within the abcph platform.
6.4 Regulatory & Law Enforcement Authorities
abcph is legally required to disclose personal data to relevant Philippine regulatory authorities, including PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), when required by law. abcph may also disclose data to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) or other law enforcement bodies in response to lawful orders, warrants, or investigations.
6.5 Professional Advisers
abcph may share personal data with legal counsel, auditors, accountants, and other professional advisers where necessary in connection with legal proceedings, regulatory examinations, or financial audits, subject to professional confidentiality obligations.
Some of abcph's third-party service providers may be located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, abcph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — including data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses — in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC guidelines.
7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
abcph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, improve user experience, and support security monitoring. The following types of cookies may be used:
- Essential cookies: Required for core Platform functionality, including login session management, account authentication, and security protections. These cookies cannot be disabled without impacting platform usability;
- Performance and analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how users interact with the abcph Platform to help us identify areas for improvement. This data does not identify individual users;
- Fraud detection cookies: Used to identify suspicious access patterns, bot activity, and account takeover attempts. These are a security necessity and cannot be disabled;
- Marketing cookies: Only placed with your consent, these cookies may track your visits to the abcph Platform to help us deliver relevant promotions. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time by adjusting your browser cookie settings.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential or fraud detection cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of the abcph platform.
8. Data Retention
abcph retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The following general retention periods apply:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, as required by Philippine AML regulations;
- Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years in compliance with AMLC reporting requirements and financial record-keeping obligations;
- KYC verification documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later;
- Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years following the closure of the relevant support ticket or dispute;
- Marketing preferences and communications: Retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion, after which opt-out records are maintained to prevent re-contact.
After applicable retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be attributed to any individual player.
9. Data Security
abcph employs industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the abcph platform;
- Encryption at rest for sensitive personal data stored in abcph's databases, including identity documents and financial information;
- Access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis, with role-based permissions enforced;
- Multi-factor authentication for abcph staff accessing internal systems containing player data;
- Real-time fraud and intrusion detection monitoring for unauthorised access attempts and anomalous activity patterns;
- Regular security assessments and penetration testing conducted by independent security professionals.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, abcph will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
