7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

pphpg uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve the platform. The types of cookies we use are:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
• Performance cookies: Used to collect anonymized data about how players use pphpg, such as which pages are visited most frequently. This helps us improve platform performance and user experience.
• Functional cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as language settings and display options, to personalize your pphpg experience.

pphpg does not use third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking technologies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality.

8. Data Retention

pphpg retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, subject to the following retention periods:

10. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by pphpg:

11. Children's Privacy

pphpg is strictly an adult gaming platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we discover that a player is under 21, we will immediately suspend the account, void any transactions, and delete the associated personal data.

If you believe a minor has registered on pphpg, please contact our support team immediately so we can take appropriate action.

12. International Data Transfers

pphpg primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Philippines. Where data is transferred to third-party service providers located outside the Philippines (for example, cloud infrastructure providers), pphpg ensures that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards, including contractual data processing agreements that require the recipient to provide a level of data protection equivalent to that required under Philippine law.

13. Updates to This Policy

When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification before the changes take effect. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

Your continued use of pphpg after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
