Privacy Policy
ptgaing is committed to protecting the personal data of every Filipino player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have as a data subject under Philippine law.
Six Things ptgaing Does to Protect Your Data
These highlights summarize ptgaing's core privacy commitments. The full legal detail is set out in the sections below. Both the highlights and the full policy form part of the ptgaing Privacy Policy.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
Every session on the ptgaing platform is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Your login credentials, personal details, and payment information are transmitted over secure encrypted connections at all times, making interception by third parties technically impractical.
Compliant with Philippine Law
ptgaing processes all personal data in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, ptgaing is also subject to PAGCOR's data handling requirements.
Segregated Player Funds
Player account balances at ptgaing are held in accounts that are segregated from the company's operational capital. Your PHP funds are not mixed with ptgaing's business finances, providing an additional layer of financial security for your deposited balance.
No Sale of Personal Data
ptgaing does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their independent commercial marketing purposes. Data sharing with third parties is limited to what is necessary for platform operation, regulatory compliance, and fraud prevention.
Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by ptgaing. You also have the right to object to processing and to data portability where technically feasible. These rights are explained in full in Section 9 of this policy.
Opt-Out from Marketing
You can withdraw your consent to receive ptgaing marketing communications at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before withdrawal. Simply update your communication preferences in your account settings or contact ptgaing support to opt out.
