Privacy Policy – 22PHP Online Casino

1. Introduction

Welcome to 22PHP. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect the personal information of anyone who visits or uses our platform. Whether you are browsing our site from Manila, registering an account in Cebu, or placing a bet from Davao, this policy applies to you.

By using 22PHP — including our website and any related mobile access — you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have questions or concerns at any point, our support team is available to assist you.

2. Data We Collect

We only collect data that is necessary to operate the platform, verify your identity, process transactions, and deliver a safe gaming experience. The categories of personal data we may collect include:

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or medical records unless specifically required by law or with your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used for specific, legitimate purposes. Here is a breakdown of how your information is put to use on the 22PHP platform:

• Account management: To create, maintain, and secure your player account, including password recovery and OTP verification.
• Identity verification: To confirm your age (21+) and identity as part of our KYC process, ensuring the platform is used only by eligible players.
• Transaction processing: To facilitate deposits in Philippine Peso (PHP) via local payment methods and to process withdrawal requests to your verified payment details.
• Platform security: To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, account takeovers, and other prohibited activities.
• Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and provide assistance through our live chat and email channels.
• Platform improvement: To analyse usage patterns and improve the performance, design, and features of 22PHP for all players.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming patterns and provide tools that support healthy, controlled play — including deposit limits and self-exclusion options.
• Communications: To send you important account notices, security alerts, and, where you have opted in, updates about platform features and offers.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review.

4. Data Sharing

22PHP does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal, your payment details are shared with the relevant payment provider — such as a local bank transfer service or a Philippine e-wallet processor — solely to complete the transaction.
• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC partners may receive your identification documents to perform age and identity verification on our behalf.
• Technology and infrastructure partners: Service providers who host, maintain, or operate parts of the 22PHP platform under strict data processing agreements.
• Regulatory and legal compliance: Where required by applicable Philippine law or in response to a lawful request from a competent authority, we may disclose your data as necessary.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, your data may be transferred as part of the business assets, subject to the same privacy protections outlined here.

5. Cookies & Tracking

22PHP uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work correctly and to understand how players interact with it. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

The types of cookies we use include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — such as keeping you logged in during your session or remembering your preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how pages are used, which features are popular, and where improvements can be made. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you individually.
• Security cookies: Used to detect unusual or suspicious activity and to protect your account against unauthorised access.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of 22PHP.

6. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by applicable laws and regulations.

• Active accounts: Data is retained for the full duration your account remains open and active on the platform.
• Closed accounts: Following account closure, we retain certain data — including transaction records and identity verification documents — for a minimum period as required for legal, compliance, and audit purposes.
• Communication records: Support correspondence and chat logs may be retained for a reasonable period to assist with dispute resolution and service improvement.
• Technical and usage data: Aggregated or anonymised usage data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes, as it can no longer be linked back to you personally.

Once your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it in line with our internal data management procedures.

7. Security Measures

Protecting your personal data is something we take seriously at 22PHP. We have put in place a range of technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised access, loss, disclosure, or destruction of your information.

• SSL encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or device and the 22PHP platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to personnel who need it to carry out their duties, and is governed by role-based permissions.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): We offer OTP-based two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection to your account login.
• Secure payment handling: Financial transaction data is processed by certified payment partners and is never stored in full on our servers.
• Monitoring and incident response: We continuously monitor our systems for suspicious activity and have procedures in place to respond quickly to any potential security incidents.

8. Your Rights

As a user of 22PHP, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these, simply reach out to our support team:

• Right to access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right to correction: If any of your information is inaccurate or out of date, you have the right to request that we correct it.
• Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal or regulatory obligations that require us to retain certain records.
• Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you may ask us to limit how we use your data while a concern or dispute is being resolved.
• Right to data portability: Where technically feasible, you may request that we provide your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent — such as receiving marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting your ability to use the platform.

We aim to respond to all data-related requests within a reasonable timeframe. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request to protect against unauthorised access.

9. Minors & Age Policy

22PHP is strictly intended for players who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under this age. Age verification is a required step during the registration and KYC process, and we reserve the right to request a government-issued ID to confirm eligibility at any point.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on the platform, please contact our support team promptly.

10. Policy Changes

22PHP may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and notify registered members via email or an in-platform notice.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the platform after any changes have been published means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with a change, you may close your account by contacting our support team.
