Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, PHGrate processes your personal data based on one or more of the following lawful grounds:
PHGrate uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our platform work properly, remember your preferences, and improve your overall gaming experience. Here's what we use and why:
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the PHGrate platform, though some personalisation features may be limited.
PHGrate keeps your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
When data is no longer required, PHGrate deletes or anonymises it securely so it can no longer be linked back to you.
PHGrate takes the protection of your personal data seriously. We implement technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the risk level involved in processing your data:
If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact our support team immediately via live chat. Change your password right away. PHGrate will never ask for your password via email, SMS, or chat.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights regarding your personal data held by PHGrate. You can exercise any of these rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer (see Section 13):
You can request a copy of the personal data PHGrate holds about you, how it was obtained, and how it has been used. We will respond within 30 days of a verified request.
If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request a correction. You can update basic account information directly in your account settings.
You can request that PHGrate delete your personal data. Note that we may be required to retain certain data for legal and regulatory compliance even after an erasure request is made.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time. You can opt out of marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link or contacting support.
You may request a structured, machine-readable copy of the personal data you provided to PHGrate, so you can transfer it to another service if you choose.
If you believe PHGrate has not handled your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
PHGrate does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. Our platform is strictly for adults, and we enforce age verification through our KYC process. If we become aware that personal data from a person under 21 has been collected, we will immediately delete that data and close the associated account.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created a PHGrate account, please contact us immediately at support@phgrate.best so we can take prompt action.
Some of PHGrate's service providers — such as cloud hosting infrastructure, game software platforms, and fraud detection services — may be located outside the Philippines. When personal data is transferred internationally, PHGrate ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual clauses that require the receiving party to protect your data to at least the same standard as required by Philippine law.
PHGrate does not transfer personal data to countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate supplementary measures.
PHGrate may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data handling practices. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date shown at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or in-platform message.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the PHGrate platform after an update is posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account before they take effect.
PHGrate has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. If you wish to exercise any of your privacy rights, raise a data-related concern, or report a suspected data breach, please get in touch:
PHGrate commits to acknowledging all privacy requests within five (5) business days and resolving them within thirty (30) calendar days. For complex requests, we may request additional identity verification before processing to protect your data.
How We Protect You
Privacy protection at PHGrate isn't just a policy document — it's reflected in the actual technology and processes we use every day.
Every piece of data you send to PHGrate — from login credentials to payment details — travels through an encrypted SSL connection. No one in between can read or intercept it.
We verify your identity because the law requires it — and because it protects you. But we only ask for what's necessary. Your documents are stored securely and never used for anything beyond verification and compliance.
PHGrate will never sell your personal data to advertisers or marketing companies. Your information stays within the PHGrate ecosystem and is shared only with service providers bound by strict data processing agreements.
Don't want promo emails? No problem. Every marketing message includes an unsubscribe link, and you can update your communication preferences in your account settings at any time — no waiting period.
PHGrate operates in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its IRR. We have a registered Data Protection Officer and follow the National Privacy Commission's guidelines for data governance and breach response.
We don't hold onto your data any longer than we need to. When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised — not just archived indefinitely. You're not just a row in a database to us.
Whether you're depositing via GCash from Coron or withdrawing to your BPI account in the city, your financial data is protected end-to-end on PHGrate.
PHGrate gives every Filipino player full control over their personal information — from access and correction to deletion and opt-out. Your privacy rights are real and enforceable.
