phnice respects your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect from Filipino players, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and other applicable laws.
This summary is provided for your convenience. It does not replace the full Privacy Policy below, which you are required to read in its entirety.
phnice collects personal data that is necessary to operate your Account, process payments, fulfill KYC obligations, and comply with Philippine legal and regulatory requirements. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes unrelated to providing the phnice service to you.
All personal data held by phnice is protected using 256-bit SSL encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. Access to personal data within the phnice organization is strictly role-based and limited to personnel with a legitimate operational need. Regular security audits are conducted on the phnice data infrastructure.
phnice does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Data shared with phnice partners and service providers is limited to what is necessary for them to perform their contracted function and is governed by strict data processing agreements.
phnice processes the personal data of Filipino players in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and the implementing rules and regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Your rights as a data subject under Philippine law are recognized and respected by phnice.
You can manage your phnice communication preferences from your Account settings at any time — including opting out of promotional emails and SMS notifications. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect the delivery of essential transactional communications such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts.
As a phnice data subject, you have the right to access, correct, object to, erase, and port your personal data. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting the phnice Data Protection Officer. phnice responds to all substantiated data subject rights requests within thirty (30) days of receipt.

For the purposes of applicable Philippine data protection law, the data controller responsible for your personal data in connection with your phnice Account is phnice, the operator of the phnice Platform at phnice.asia. As data controller, phnice determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.
phnice has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law, and for serving as the point of contact for data subject rights requests and privacy-related inquiries. Contact details for the phnice DPO are set out in Section 14 of this Policy.
Where phnice engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf, those providers act as data processors under written contracts that require them to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures and to process personal data only in accordance with phnice's documented instructions.
When you register a phnice Account, we collect personal data necessary to create and operate your Account and to satisfy our legal KYC obligations. This includes:

This data is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and platform optimization.

phnice shares personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist in delivering the phnice Platform and its associated services. These providers include payment processing partners (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa/Mastercard networks, and cryptocurrency processors), KYC and identity verification providers, cloud infrastructure and hosting providers, customer support platform providers, and fraud detection and security analytics providers. All such service providers are bound by written data processing agreements that limit their use of your data to the contracted service purpose.
phnice may disclose personal data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission, Philippine law enforcement authorities, and Philippine courts where required to do so by applicable law, regulatory mandate, court order, or legal process. phnice will, where legally permitted, notify you of such disclosures before they are made or as promptly as practicable thereafter.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of phnice's assets, personal data held by phnice may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity as part of the transaction. phnice will provide reasonable notice of any such transfer and will ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by privacy obligations no less protective than those described in this Policy.
What We Do Not Do: phnice does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their independent marketing or commercial purposes. phnice does not share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or analytics companies for purposes unrelated to the delivery of the phnice Platform.
Some phnice service providers and game providers may be located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to a country that does not offer a level of data protection equivalent to the Philippines, phnice implements appropriate safeguards to ensure that your data remains protected in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations.
Appropriate safeguards for international transfers by phnice include standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission or equivalent recognized authorities, binding corporate rules where applicable, and conducting prior assessments of the recipient's data protection framework before transferring personal data.
You may request information about the specific safeguards in place for any international transfer of your personal data by contacting the phnice Data Protection Officer at the details set out in Section 14 of this Policy.

Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, phnice will securely delete or anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

This right is subject to phnice's legal retention obligations under Philippine AML and PAGCOR regulations.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interest, including profiling for marketing purposes. Where you object to marketing processing, phnice will cease such processing promptly. Objections to processing based on legal obligation cannot override phnice's regulatory compliance requirements.

If you believe phnice has processed your personal data in violation of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. phnice encourages you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve the matter directly before escalating to the NPC.
phnice implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, and disclosure. These measures include:
Note: While phnice maintains industry-leading security practices, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. You play an important role in the security of your phnice Account by using a strong, unique password, enabling two-factor authentication, and logging out of phnice on shared devices.
The phnice Platform is intended exclusively for use by individuals aged 21 years and above, consistent with the age requirements applicable to casino-style gaming in the Philippines. phnice does not knowingly collect personal data from any individual under the age of 21.
Where phnice becomes aware that personal data has been submitted by or on behalf of an individual under 21 years of age, phnice will promptly delete that data, suspend the associated Account, and return any deposited funds to the originating payment method following a verification process.
phnice's age verification processes — including date of birth collection at registration and KYC document verification before withdrawal — are designed to prevent underage access to the phnice Platform. You are responsible for ensuring that no person under the age of 21 uses your phnice Account or your device to access the phnice Platform.
phnice reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, NPC guidance, or the features of the phnice Platform. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will provide notice to you via email to your registered phnice Account email address, via an in-platform notification upon your next login, or by posting the updated Policy on the phnice website with a revised effective date.
Your continued use of the phnice Platform following the effective date of any update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Policy. If any amendment materially reduces your privacy rights, phnice will seek your renewed consent where consent is the applicable legal basis for the affected processing activity.
The most current version of this phnice Privacy Policy is always accessible at phnice.asia/privacy-policy. The effective date at the top of this document reflects the date on which the current version became operative.
