This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by 96phl ("we," "us," "our") through the website at 96phl.net and any related mobile or web applications (collectively, the "Platform"). It governs our data practices in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
About This Policy
96phl operates as a Philippines-focused online gaming platform offering sports betting, live dealer casino games, slots, bingo, and specialty titles such as Fortune Gems and Fortune Dragon. In the course of providing these services to Filipino players, we necessarily collect and process certain categories of personal data.
This Privacy Policy is designed to give you full transparency over those data practices. We want every player — whether you are logging in from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, or anywhere else in the Philippines — to feel confident that their personal information is handled with integrity, discretion, and strict legal compliance.
By registering an account on 96phl, accessing the Platform, or otherwise providing your personal data to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform and contact us to request deletion of any data we may already hold.
This policy uses the term "personal data" as defined under RA 10173: any information from which the identity of an individual can be reasonably and directly ascertained, or when put together with other information, would directly and certainly identify an individual.

96phl retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The following retention schedule applies:

When your data reaches the end of its retention period, 96phl will securely delete or irreversibly anonymize it using industry-standard data destruction methods. Anonymized data that can no longer be linked to any individual is no longer considered personal data and may be retained and used for statistical purposes without restriction.
Data Security
96phl implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security framework includes:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser or device and the 96phl Platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. We enforce HTTPS across the entire Platform with HSTS headers to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data fields — including passwords (stored as salted hashes), financial account identifiers, and identity document references — are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within 96phl's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff are granted only the minimum permissions required for their specific role. All internal access to sensitive data is logged and audited.
- Network Security: The Platform is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and DDoS mitigation infrastructure. Regular penetration testing is conducted by independent security firms.
- Multi-Factor Authentication: All administrative and operational systems that handle player data require multi-factor authentication for access. Players are also strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication on their 96phl accounts.
- Staff Training: All 96phl employees and contractors with access to personal data receive mandatory data privacy and security training upon onboarding and at regular intervals thereafter.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to affected players, 96phl will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required under NPC Circular 16-03, and will notify affected players promptly thereafter.
Your Rights Under RA 10173
As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 96phl. These rights may be exercised by contacting our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the address provided in Section 14.
To exercise any of the above rights, submit a written request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request." We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and respond substantively within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, with notice to you.
Children and Minors
96phl is an online gambling platform. In accordance with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law, our services are strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21.
During registration, all applicants are required to confirm their age and submit identity documents that establish their date of birth. Our KYC process is designed to prevent underage individuals from successfully registering an account.
If 96phl discovers or is notified that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21, the following actions will be taken immediately:
- The account will be permanently closed without delay.
- Any deposits made to the account will be refunded to the verified payment source, less the value of any winnings generated, as required by PAGCOR guidelines.
- All personal data associated with the underage account will be securely deleted from our systems, subject only to minimum retention obligations under applicable law.
- The incident will be reviewed internally and, where required, reported to PAGCOR.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered on 96phl without authorization, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Cross-Border Data Transfers
96phl primarily stores and processes your personal data on servers located within the Philippines or in jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection comparable to Philippine standards under RA 10173.
Where it is necessary to transfer your personal data to a service provider or partner located outside the Philippines (for example, cloud infrastructure providers or international KYC verification services), 96phl ensures that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards, including:
- Contractual Clauses: Data processing or data sharing agreements that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those under RA 10173.
- Adequacy Assessment: A prior determination that the recipient country or organization provides an adequate level of protection for personal data.
- NPC Registration: Where required under NPC Circular 2022-01, cross-border data sharing arrangements are registered with or notified to the National Privacy Commission.
By using the 96phl Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines in the limited circumstances described above, subject always to the safeguards set out in this section.

If you do not agree with any material change, you have the right to close your account and request deletion of your personal data in accordance with Section 10 above.
We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how 96phl protects your personal information. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.

How 96phl Protects Your Data
End-to-End Encryption
Every byte of data you transmit to 96phl travels over TLS 1.2+ encrypted connections. Sensitive fields like passwords and payment identifiers are further encrypted at rest with AES-256, so your credentials are never exposed in plain text.
Strict KYC and Age Verification
96phl enforces a rigorous Know Your Customer process to verify the identity and age (21+) of every player. Your ID documents are handled exclusively by our licensed verification partners and are never shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
RA 10173 Compliance
Our data practices are built around the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations. We have a registered Data Protection Officer, maintain a personal data inventory, and conduct regular privacy impact assessments to stay compliant.
Minimal Data Collection
96phl only collects the personal data that is genuinely necessary to provide our services, verify your identity, process payments, and comply with Philippine law. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes beyond those stated in this policy.
Full Control Over Your Data
Under RA 10173 you have eight distinct data rights — access, rectification, erasure, objection, portability, indemnification, file complaint, and protection from automated decisions. 96phl makes it straightforward to exercise all of them through our DPO contact channel.
No Third-Party Ad Tracking
96phl does not embed third-party advertising pixels, behavioral tracking scripts, or cross-site tracking cookies. Your browsing activity on the Platform stays within 96phl and is not sold or shared with ad networks or data brokers.
