51ph Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

51ph ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who accesses or uses the 51ph online casino and sports betting platform, including its website and all associated services (collectively, "the Platform").

This Privacy Policy describes how 51ph collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal data. It applies to all players who register a 51ph account, visit the 51ph website, or interact with any of our digital services — whether accessed from Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, or anywhere else in the Philippines.

This Policy is issued in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and applicable guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act and all applicable data protection legislation, 51ph is the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of the personal data collected through the Platform. This means 51ph determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

51ph operates under PAGCOR authority and processes personal data in accordance with PAGCOR's data governance requirements as well as the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) of the Philippines and its amendments.

Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. You may contact the DPO using the details provided in Section 14 of this Policy.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

7.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit the 51ph Platform. They allow the Platform to remember your preferences, keep your session active after 51ph login, and help us understand how players use the site so we can improve it.

7.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged into your 51ph account and security cookies that prevent cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your language preference, game lobby layout, and responsible gaming settings between sessions. These improve your experience but are not strictly essential.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymized data about how players navigate the Platform — which games are most visited, where players encounter errors, and how long sessions last — to help us improve the 51ph experience.
• Marketing Cookies: Used only with your explicit consent to track which promotions you have seen and to avoid showing you the same offer repeatedly. You may opt out of marketing cookies at any time.

7.3 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent 51ph from functioning correctly and may log you out of your account. For detailed guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.

8. Data Retention

51ph retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, and for as long as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory requirements. The following retention periods apply:

• Account and Identity Data: Retained for a minimum of 5 years after account closure, as required by PAGCOR regulations and the Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Act
• Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, in line with AMLC record-keeping requirements
• KYC Documents: Retained for 5 years post-account closure unless a longer period is required by applicable law or ongoing regulatory investigation
• Customer Support Communications: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last interaction
• Marketing Preferences and Consent Records: Retained for 3 years from the date consent was given or withdrawn
• Analytics and Usage Data: Aggregated and anonymized after 12 months; individually identifiable usage data is deleted or anonymized within this period

At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with 51ph's data deletion procedures, unless retention is required to comply with a legal obligation, resolve a dispute, or enforce our agreements.

9. Data Security

51ph implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, and disclosure. Our security framework includes:

• Encryption in Transit: All data exchanged between your device and the 51ph Platform is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 or higher)
• Encryption at Rest: Personal data stored in 51ph databases is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis, with multi-factor authentication required for all staff accessing production systems
• Audit Logging: All access to personal data is logged and regularly reviewed for anomalies
• Penetration Testing: 51ph conducts regular third-party security assessments and penetration tests of the Platform
• Incident Response: 51ph maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by Philippine law

10. Exercising Your Rights

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the rights described in the summary cards above (access, correction, erasure, objection, portability, and the right to complain). To exercise any of these rights in relation to your 51ph account:

1. Contact the 51ph Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 14 of this Policy
2. Clearly state the right you wish to exercise and the specific data it relates to
3. Provide your registered email address and any other information needed to verify your identity — this step is required to protect against fraudulent access requests

51ph will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, this may be extended by a further 30 days with notice to you.

Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations where legal retention obligations, PAGCOR requirements, or active fraud investigations are involved. Where a request cannot be fulfilled in full, 51ph will explain the reason in writing.

If you are not satisfied with 51ph's response to your data rights request, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines through their official channels.

11. Children & Minors

The 51ph Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. 51ph does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the account registration process, and no real-money gaming activity is permitted until identity and age have been verified.

If 51ph becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, that account will be immediately suspended, the personal data will be securely deleted in accordance with our data retention procedures, and the matter will be reported to PAGCOR as required. Any funds in the account at the time of suspension will be handled in accordance with PAGCOR's guidelines for underage account discovery.

12. International Data Transfers

51ph's primary data processing infrastructure is located within the Philippines. However, certain service providers — including cloud infrastructure partners and game software providers — may process data in other jurisdictions, including jurisdictions outside the Philippines.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, 51ph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• Data processing agreements requiring the recipient to apply data protection standards equivalent to or exceeding those required by Philippine law
• Transfer only to jurisdictions recognized by the National Privacy Commission as providing adequate levels of data protection
• Standard contractual clauses approved by the NPC where no adequacy determination exists

By using the 51ph Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines, subject to the safeguards described in this section.

13. Updates to This Privacy Policy

51ph reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Display a prominent notice on the 51ph Platform for a period of at least 14 days following the change
• Where required by law or where changes materially affect your rights, notify you directly via the email address registered to your account

Your continued use of the 51ph Platform after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any material change, you may close your account by contacting support before the change takes effect.

14. Contact & Data Protection Officer

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way 51ph processes your personal data, please contact us through the following channels:

• Live Chat Support: Available 24/7 directly on the 51ph Platform — average response time 3–5 minutes
