ph697 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, maintain your login session, and analyse platform usage. The following types of cookies are used on ph697:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the ph697 Platform to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as login sessions and game loading.

• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised data about how players use ph697, helping us improve the platform experience.
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the integrity of your ph697 account.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the ph697 Platform. ph697 does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

ph697 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law. Specifically:

• Account and identity data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements.

Where ph697 is required by law to retain data for a longer period, the statutory retention period will apply. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with ph697's data disposal procedures.

ph697 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and ph697 servers

• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
• Regular security audits and penetration testing of ph697 infrastructure
• Multi-factor authentication options for player accounts
• Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity and automated fraud detection systems

While ph697 takes all reasonable precautions, no electronic system is entirely immune to security risks. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, ph697 will notify you and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by the Data Privacy Act.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ph697:

If you believe a minor has registered on ph697, please contact support immediately.
