You have the right to know what personal data ph635 collects about you, the purposes for which it is processed, and your rights under the DPA — which this Policy is designed to fulfill.
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data ph635 holds about you. ph635 will respond to verified access requests within fifteen (15) business days.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Corrections to core identity data may require re-verification of your KYC documents.

Where technically feasible and permitted by law, you may request that ph635 provide your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe ph635 has violated your rights under the DPA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. ph635 will cooperate fully with any NPC investigation.
Children & Minors
The ph635 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, in compliance with Philippine gaming law as administered by PAGCOR. ph635 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21.
Every ph635 account is subject to mandatory KYC age verification using government-issued Philippine identification. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately and permanently suspended, with the matter reported to PAGCOR as required by law. All data associated with a confirmed underage account will be handled in accordance with PAGCOR's underage account protocols, which may include mandatory retention for regulatory reporting purposes.
If you have reason to believe that a person under the age of 21 has accessed ph635, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
Cross-Border Data Transfers
ph635 primarily processes and stores personal data within the Republic of the Philippines using Philippine-based or Philippine-compliant data infrastructure. Where the use of technology service providers necessitates transfer of personal data outside the Philippines (for example, to cloud infrastructure providers with servers in other jurisdictions), ph635 ensures that such transfers comply with Section 21 of the DPA and NPC Circular No. 16-01, specifically:
- The receiving party provides a level of data protection at least equivalent to the DPA's standards;
- Binding contractual obligations consistent with DPA requirements are in place; and
- PAGCOR's requirements regarding data sovereignty and player data security are observed.
ph635 does not transfer your personal data to any jurisdiction for the purpose of circumventing Philippine privacy law or reducing the protections afforded to you under the DPA.
Changes to This Policy
ph635 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. Material changes to this Policy will be communicated to registered players via notification to their registered mobile number or email address at least fourteen (14) days before the revised Policy takes effect, unless a shorter notice period is required by law or NPC directive.
The current version of this Policy is always accessible at https://ph635.cam/privacy-policy. The "Last Revised" date at the top of this document reflects the date of the most recent update. Continued use of the ph635 Platform after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
Where a proposed change materially reduces your rights or significantly expands the scope of data processing, ph635 will seek fresh consent from affected players before the change takes effect, as required by the DPA.
