Data Privacy & Protection

168ph Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

This Privacy Policy explains how 168ph collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players who register and use the platform. We handle your data carefully and in accordance with applicable privacy standards.

Last updated: January 2026
By registering an account on 168ph, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described here. If you do not agree, please do not register or continue using the platform.

1. Overview

168ph ("we", "us", "the Operator") takes the privacy of every registered player seriously. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the 168ph website at 168ph.vu and through any related platform services, including the mobile-optimised site and the 168ph app.

We collect personal data only to the extent necessary to provide you with a functional, secure, and compliant gaming and betting experience. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes, and we do not share data beyond what is required for platform operations and legal obligations.

This policy should be read together with the Terms and Conditions, which govern your overall use of the platform. Questions about how your data is handled can be directed to our support team at any time.

2. Data We Collect

168ph collects personal data through several channels: account registration, ongoing platform use, identity verification, and automatic technical collection when you access the site or app.

Registration and Account Data

When you create a 168ph account, we collect the information you provide directly, which typically includes:

  • Full legal name
  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • Mobile number (used for OTP verification)
  • Preferred username and account password (stored in encrypted form)
  • Residential address in the Philippines

Identity Verification (KYC) Data

As part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process, we may request copies of government-issued identification documents to verify your identity and age. This is a standard requirement for online gaming platforms and helps prevent fraud, underage access, and money laundering.

Transaction Data

We record details of all PHP deposits and withdrawals processed through your account, including payment method type, transaction amounts, and timestamps. We do not store full GCash, Maya, or bank account numbers on our servers. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers who maintain their own security standards.

Usage and Behavioural Data

When you use the platform — browsing the game lobby, placing sports bets, or navigating between sections — we collect data about your activity. This includes pages visited, games played, bet history, session duration, and actions taken within your account.

Technical and Device Data

We automatically collect certain technical information when you access 168ph, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and general location data derived from your IP. This data is used for security, fraud prevention, and platform optimisation.

You are responsible for ensuring that any personal data you provide to 168ph is accurate and up to date. Providing false information during registration or KYC may result in account restrictions or closure.

Summary of Data Types

Data Type Examples How Collected

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data we collect for specific, legitimate purposes. We do not use your data for anything beyond what is described here without your separate consent.

  • Account management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your 168ph account, including OTP-based authentication and password management.
  • Identity verification: Confirming your eligibility to use the platform, including age verification and KYC compliance checks.
  • Transaction processing: Facilitating PHP deposits and withdrawals through supported Philippine payment channels.
  • Customer support: Responding to your enquiries, resolving account issues, and managing complaints.
  • Platform improvements: Analysing usage patterns to improve game performance, navigation, and the overall player experience.
  • Fraud and security monitoring: Detecting and preventing unauthorised access, suspicious betting patterns, and account abuse.
  • Responsible gaming compliance: Monitoring account activity to support self-exclusion, deposit limits, and other player protection tools available in the Responsible Gaming section.
  • Legal and regulatory obligations: Retaining records as required by applicable law, including anti-money laundering requirements.
  • Platform communications: Sending account notifications, security alerts, and — where you have opted in — updates about promotions available on the Promotions page.
You may opt out of non-essential communications, such as promotional messages, at any time through your account settings. Opting out does not affect transactional or security-related notifications, which are necessary for account operation.

4. Sharing Your Data

168ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We share data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only with parties that are bound by confidentiality obligations or applicable data protection standards.

Payment Processors

To process PHP transactions through GCash, Maya, and Philippine bank transfer channels, we share the minimum necessary data with our payment processing partners. These providers handle payment data under their own security and privacy standards and are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.

Identity Verification Providers

KYC document verification may be handled by a third-party verification service. Documents shared for this purpose are used solely to confirm your identity and are not retained by the verification provider beyond the period required to complete the check.

Game and Platform Providers

Third-party game studios and live casino providers that supply content available in the 168ph Game Lobby may receive anonymised session data for game performance and fairness purposes. These providers do not receive personally identifiable information unless strictly required for a specific technical function.

Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

We may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts if we are legally required to do so, or if disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, protect the safety of players, or enforce our Terms and Conditions.

Business Transfers

In the unlikely event of a business acquisition, merger, or asset transfer, player data may form part of the transferred assets. Any successor operator would be required to continue processing your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy or notify you of any material changes before they take effect.

5. Data Security

168ph implements industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Key security measures in place include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the 168ph platform is encrypted in transit using SSL technology.
  • OTP authentication: Account logins and sensitive actions require one-time password verification sent to your registered mobile number, adding a second layer of account protection.
  • Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted to staff members who need it to perform their specific job functions. All internal access is logged and reviewed.
  • Password hashing: Account passwords are stored using secure cryptographic hashing and are never stored or transmitted in plain text.
  • Fraud monitoring: Automated systems continuously monitor account activity for patterns consistent with fraud, account takeover, or identity theft.

While we take these precautions seriously, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in keeping your account safe — use a strong, unique password and never share your OTP or login credentials with anyone. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

168ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep the platform working correctly, improve the player experience, and understand how the site is used. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and cookies that remember your language and display preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the platform — which sections are most visited, how long sessions last, and where players encounter issues. This data is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and unauthorised account access. These work alongside OTP verification and our fraud monitoring systems.
  • Preference cookies: Remember settings you have configured within your account, such as display language and notification preferences.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain parts of the 168ph platform from working as expected. 168ph does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period after account closure, as required by applicable law and legitimate operational needs.

  • Active accounts: Data is retained throughout the lifetime of your registered account.
  • Closed accounts: Following account closure, certain data — including transaction records and KYC documents — is retained for a minimum period as required by anti-money laundering regulations and applicable Philippine law.
  • Support records: Communications with our customer support team are retained for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Technical logs: Server and security logs are retained for a shorter period and are used solely for fraud investigation and platform security purposes.

Once the applicable retention period has passed, data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with your identity. If you request account closure, we will action your request and confirm the steps taken to manage your data.

8. Your Rights

As a registered player, you have rights with respect to the personal data 168ph holds about you. You can exercise these rights by contacting our support team. We will respond to requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Some rights may be limited where we have legal obligations to retain data, such as transaction records required for anti-money laundering compliance. We will explain any such limitations when responding to your request.

9. Minors and Age Restrictions

168ph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. The platform is strictly for adult players only. Age verification is a mandatory part of the registration and KYC process.

If we discover that an account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under 21, we will immediately suspend the account, investigate the matter, and take appropriate action in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Any funds associated with such an account will be subject to review.

If you believe that a minor has registered on the platform, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and act promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

168ph may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in platform operations, technology, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players through their registered contact details or via an in-platform notification.

Continued use of the 168ph platform after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you remain informed about how we handle your data. If you have concerns about a change, please contact our support team before continuing to use the platform.

How 168ph Keeps Your Data Safe

From the moment you register to every transaction you make, your privacy is part of how we build the platform

SSL Encryption on Every Page

Every connection between your device and 168ph is encrypted using SSL/TLS. Whether you are depositing in PHP, checking your bet history, or logging in, your data travels securely.

OTP-Based Account Protection

Login and sensitive account actions require a one-time password sent to your registered mobile number. This makes it significantly harder for anyone else to access your account even if your password is compromised.

Secure KYC Verification

Your identity documents are handled through a controlled verification process. KYC data is used only to confirm your eligibility and is not shared with unrelated third parties.

No Full Payment Details Stored

168ph does not store full GCash numbers, Maya account details, or bank account numbers on its servers. Payment processing is handled by dedicated providers with their own security protocols.

No Data Sold to Third Parties

168ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Data is shared only where necessary for platform operations and always under strict confidentiality obligations.

Your Rights Are Respected

You can request access to your data, ask for corrections, or request deletion at any time by contacting our support team. We respond to all data rights requests and explain any limitations that apply.
