Privacy Policy – 889ph Secure Gaming Philippines

1. Introduction

Welcome to 889ph — one of the Philippines' most trusted online gaming platforms. Your privacy matters to us, and this Privacy Policy explains exactly how 889ph collects, stores, processes, and protects your personal data when you access our website at https://889ph.app, create an account, place bets, or interact with our customer support team.

This policy is aligned with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) overseen by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. We treat this not as a formality but as a real commitment to every kabayan who plays with us.

4. When We Share Your Information

889ph will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in limited circumstances:

Any third-party service provider we work with is contractually required to handle your data with confidentiality and in accordance with RA 10173.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your 889ph account remains active or as required by law. Specifically:

• Active account data is retained indefinitely while your account is in use.
