At phdrea, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal information we collect from Filipino players, how we use it, who we share it with, and how we keep it safe. Transparency is something we don't compromise on.
These six principles guide how phdrea handles every piece of data you share with us. They summarize our commitment — the full legal details are in the sections below.
phdrea only collects personal information that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, payment processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data we don't need.
phdrea does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers. Your data is used solely to operate and improve the phdrea platform and to meet our legal obligations.
All data transmitted between your device and phdrea servers is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information travel securely at all times.
As a phdrea player, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. We honor these rights in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection laws and regulations.
phdrea does not hold your data indefinitely. Retention periods are defined by regulatory requirements and operational necessity. Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, phdrea will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine data protection authority within the timeframes required by law.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by phdrea ("phdrea," "we," "us," or "our") and applies to all personal information collected, processed, stored, and used in connection with the phdrea online gaming platform available at https://phdrea.app, including all associated mobile-optimized interfaces, features, games, promotions, and customer support channels (collectively, the "Platform").
This Policy is intended to inform you — our registered players, prospective players, and visitors — about the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we process it, the parties with whom we may share it, and the rights you hold with respect to your personal information under applicable Philippine law.

phdrea uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, analyze usage patterns, and enhance your overall gaming experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device.
Types of Cookies We Use:
Managing Cookies: You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for specific websites.

phdrea implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security infrastructure includes:
While phdrea takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no security system is completely impenetrable. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, phdrea will notify you and the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines within the timeframes required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
phdrea retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | Consent management |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, phdrea will securely delete or anonymize your personal data in a manner that prevents reconstruction or identification. Where data is anonymized rather than deleted, the anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by phdrea:
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact phdrea's Data Protection Officer through the contact details provided in Section 13 of this Policy. phdrea will respond to all verified data subject requests within 30 calendar days of receipt. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, and you will be notified of any such extension.
phdrea primarily processes and stores personal data within secure data center facilities. In certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed by service providers located outside of the Philippines — for example, where phdrea uses cloud-based infrastructure or international game software providers.
Where such international transfers occur, phdrea ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012. These safeguards may include:
By using the phdrea Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data to other countries where necessary for the operation of the Platform, subject to the safeguards described above.
The phdrea Platform is strictly intended for adults who are 21 years of age or older. phdrea does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The 21+ age requirement is a non-negotiable condition of registration and use of the Platform, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations.
During the registration process, phdrea requires all applicants to confirm that they are at least 21 years of age. phdrea also conducts active age verification as part of its KYC process, requiring players to submit government-issued identification documents that confirm their date of birth.
If phdrea discovers or has reason to believe that a registered account belongs to a person under 21 years of age, the following actions will be taken immediately:
The phdrea Platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services, including payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank), game software providers, and customer support tools. These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies, which are independent of this Policy.
phdrea is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of phdrea. phdrea selects its third-party service providers carefully and requires them to implement appropriate data protection measures as a condition of their engagement.
phdrea does not embed third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site behavioral advertising technologies on the Platform. Your gaming activity on phdrea is not shared with social media platforms or advertising networks.
phdrea reserves the right to update, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or Platform features. When material changes are made to this Policy, phdrea will notify registered players via email and/or through a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how phdrea protects your personal information.
Your continued use of the phdrea Platform following the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should cease using the Platform and may request the closure of your account by contacting our support team.

When submitting a data subject request, please include your full name, registered email address, and a clear description of your request so that we can process it efficiently. phdrea may request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling any request.
