Privacy Policy

About This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how phdream16 ("phdream16," "we," "us," or "our") collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal data in the course of operating the phdream16 online casino and sports betting platform available at phdream16.co. This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

This Policy should be read alongside the phdream16 Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall relationship between phdream16 and registered members. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms & Conditions on matters of data privacy, this Policy shall take precedence.

phdream16 may provide supplementary or product-specific privacy notices at relevant points of data collection — for example, at the point of account registration or when you request a withdrawal. Those notices should be read together with this Policy to form a complete picture of how your data is handled.

Data Controller Identity

The data controller responsible for the personal data of phdream16 members and visitors is phdream16, the operator of the phdream16.co platform. As data controller, phdream16 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is accountable for ensuring that this processing complies with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and all applicable Philippine data protection regulations.

phdream16 has appointed a Data Privacy Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing compliance with this Policy and Philippine data privacy law. Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

Data We Collect

phdream16 collects personal data from you through various interactions with the platform. The categories of data we collect include the following:

When you create a phdream16 account, we collect: your full legal name, date of birth, gender, residential address (city, province, ZIP code), Philippine mobile number, and email address. This information is used to create and maintain your account and to verify your identity in accordance with KYC requirements.

To comply with Philippine anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and PAGCOR requirements, phdream16 collects copies or images of government-issued photo identification documents. Acceptable documents include: Philippine System ID (PhilSys), UMID, SSS ID, GSIS ID, Driver's License, Passport, PRC ID, Voter's ID, and Postal ID. Where address verification is required, phdream16 may also collect a utility bill, bank statement, or other official document confirming your residential address.

phdream16 collects information necessary to process deposits and withdrawals, including: your GCash mobile number, PayMaya account details, bank account name and number (for BPI, BDO, or Metrobank transfers), and partial card details where Visa or Mastercard payments are used. Full card numbers are never stored by phdream16 — card processing is handled by our certified payment service providers. We also maintain a complete record of all deposit, withdrawal, bonus, and wagering transactions associated with your account.

phdream16 automatically collects certain technical and behavioral data when you access the platform, including: IP address, device type and model, operating system version, browser type and version, screen resolution, mobile network carrier, session timestamps, pages visited, games played, bet amounts and outcomes, and login history. This data is used for platform security, fraud detection, technical troubleshooting, and product improvement purposes.

If you contact phdream16 through Live Chat, email, or any other support channel, we retain records of those communications — including the content of your messages and any attachments — for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and legal compliance purposes.

How We Use Your Data

phdream16 uses your personal data only for specific, legitimate, and lawful purposes. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. The primary purposes for which phdream16 processes your personal data are as follows:

• Account Management: To register, maintain, and administer your phdream16 account, including storing your preferences and providing access to all platform features.
• Identity and Age Verification: To verify that you are who you say you are and that you meet the 21-year minimum age requirement under PAGCOR regulations. This involves processing identity documents and cross-referencing registration information.
• Payment Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso using your nominated payment methods, and to maintain accurate transaction records for your account history and financial reporting.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance: To fulfill our obligations under Philippine law, including anti-money laundering regulations (Republic Act 9160 as amended), PAGCOR licensing requirements, NPC data privacy rules, and any applicable tax reporting requirements.
• Fraud Prevention and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized account access, money laundering, bonus abuse, and other prohibited activities that could harm phdream16, its members, or the integrity of the platform.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor account activity for indicators of problem gambling behavior and to administer the responsible gaming tools available to phdream16 members, including deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion.
• Platform Improvement: To analyze aggregated and anonymized usage data in order to improve the phdream16 platform, fix technical issues, optimize game loading speeds, and develop new features relevant to Filipino players.
• Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries, resolve disputes, and provide technical assistance through the phdream16 Live Chat and email support channels.
• Marketing Communications (with consent): To send you information about promotions, new games, and phdream16 updates, but only where you have provided explicit opt-in consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, phdream16 must have a lawful basis for each type of personal data processing it undertakes. The lawful bases on which phdream16 relies are:

• Contractual Necessity: Much of the processing described in this Policy is necessary for phdream16 to perform its contractual obligations to you as a registered member — specifically, to provide you with access to casino and sports betting services and to process your financial transactions.
• Compliance with a Legal Obligation: Processing for KYC, AML, age verification, and regulatory reporting purposes is required by Philippine law and PAGCOR licensing conditions, and does not require your separate consent.
• Legitimate Interests: phdream16 processes certain data — such as technical security logs and fraud detection signals — on the basis of its legitimate interest in protecting the platform, its members, and the integrity of real-money gaming operations, provided this processing does not override your rights and freedoms.
• Consent: For marketing communications and any optional data processing not covered by the above bases, phdream16 relies on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. This consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

phdream16 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. We share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

phdream16 shares necessary financial and identity information with certified payment service providers — including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and card processing partners — solely for the purpose of processing your deposit and withdrawal transactions. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than transaction processing.

Some technical usage data — such as session tokens and bet records — may be shared with phdream16's licensed game providers (including JILI Games, Pragmatic Play, and others) as necessary for the delivery of gaming services and real-time game state synchronization. Game providers do not receive your full personal profile or identity documents.

phdream16 is required by Philippine law to share certain information with regulatory and law enforcement authorities upon lawful request. This includes PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other Philippine government agencies where disclosure is compelled by legal process, court order, or statutory obligation.

phdream16 may share relevant data with its lawyers, accountants, auditors, and other professional advisers where necessary for the conduct of phdream16's business, subject to strict confidentiality obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

They enable core functionality such as session management, login authentication, and security tokens.

You can control cookie settings through your browser's privacy settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to log in or use core phdream16 features. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not prevent you from accessing the platform but may result in a less personalized experience.

Data Security

phdream16 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, disclosure, and misuse. These measures include:

• 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit between your device and phdream16 servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and financial records
• Multi-factor authentication requirements for administrative access to production systems
• Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
• Regular automated vulnerability scanning and periodic third-party penetration testing
• Intrusion detection systems monitoring for anomalous access patterns in real time
• Automated session timeout and suspicious login alerting for all member accounts
• Secure data center hosting with physical access controls and redundant infrastructure

While phdream16 takes every reasonable precaution to protect your personal data, no system connected to the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You also play a role in keeping your account safe — please refer to the account security recommendations in the phdream16 Terms & Conditions.

Data Retention

phdream16 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The general retention periods applied by phdream16 are as follows:

• Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR licensing conditions and Philippine AML record-keeping requirements.
• KYC Documents: Retained for five (5) years following account closure or the completion of the relevant transaction, as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for five (5) years following the date of the transaction, in compliance with AML regulations and tax reporting requirements.

• Marketing Preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or for a period of three (3) years from last engagement with a marketing communication, whichever comes first.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely and permanently deleted or rendered irreversibly anonymous in accordance with phdream16's data retention and disposal procedures.

Your Data Subject Rights

As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by phdream16. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting the phdream16 Data Privacy Officer using the details in Section 14:

phdream16 will respond to data subject rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by an additional thirty (30) days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it. We will require identity verification before fulfilling any data subject rights request to ensure your data is not disclosed to an unauthorized party.

Children's Privacy

phdream16 is an online gambling platform and is strictly intended for individuals who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older, in compliance with Philippine gaming law and PAGCOR regulations. phdream16 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21, and the use of the platform by minors is strictly prohibited.

In the event that phdream16 becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the age of 21, it will immediately close the relevant account, delete all personal data associated with that account, and — where required by applicable law — report the incident to relevant Philippine authorities. If you believe a minor may have registered on phdream16, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

International Data Transfers

Where phdream16 transfers your personal data outside of the Republic of the Philippines — for example, to data processors or game providers operating in other countries — such transfers are conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and only to countries or organizations that provide an adequate level of data protection.

Where a transfer is made to a country that does not provide adequate protections equivalent to those under Philippine law, phdream16 ensures appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual data protection clauses binding the recipient to standards consistent with the Data Privacy Act, prior to the transfer of any personal data.
