Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal information PHDula collects, how we use it, and the steps we take to keep it secure — in plain language, without the legal runaround.

5. Who We Share Your Information With

PHDula does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment processors and banking partners: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through local banks and e-wallet services. These partners are bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
  • Identity verification services: Third-party KYC providers who help us verify government-issued IDs. Data shared is limited to what is necessary for verification.
  • Technology and infrastructure providers: Companies that support our platform operations — hosting, security, analytics — under strict data processing agreements.
  • Legal and regulatory requirements: Where required by applicable law, court order, or to protect against fraud and misuse of the platform.

All third parties who receive personal data from PHDula are required to handle it securely and only for the purpose it was shared.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

PHDula retains your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to meet our legal and compliance obligations. The specific retention period depends on the type of data:

  • Account registration data is retained for the duration of your account and for a defined period after closure.
  • Transaction and gaming records are retained in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements.
  • KYC documents are kept for the period required by applicable compliance frameworks.
  • Support communications are retained for a reasonable period to resolve any ongoing issues or disputes.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you personally.

7. How We Protect Your Data

PHDula uses a layered approach to data security. All data transmitted between your device and phdula.vu is encrypted using SSL/TLS. Financial and personal data at rest is stored using secure encryption protocols. Access to personal data within PHDula is limited to authorised personnel only and is logged for audit purposes.

Account access is protected by password requirements and OTP (one-time password) verification for login and sensitive actions. We regularly review and update our security measures in response to evolving risks.

While we take all reasonable precautions, no online system is completely immune to security incidents. If a breach occurs that affects your personal data in a material way, we will notify you as required and take immediate steps to contain and remediate the issue.

Your role in security: The strength of your account password and how carefully you protect your login credentials also play an important part. Avoid sharing your account details with anyone and log out after sessions on shared devices.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

PHDula uses cookies and similar technologies to keep your session active, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is being used so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to track your activity across unrelated third-party websites.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Session cookies: Required for your account session to function correctly. These expire when you close your browser.
  • Preference cookies: Remember settings you've chosen, such as display preferences.
  • Analytics cookies: Anonymised data about which features are used and how the platform performs. This data does not identify you personally.

Most browsers allow you to control cookie settings. Disabling all cookies may affect your ability to use the platform correctly, particularly features that require an active session.

10. Minors and Age Restriction

PHDula is strictly a 21+ platform. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from anyone under 21 years of age. During registration, all users confirm they meet the minimum age requirement, and KYC verification is used to validate this.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a user who is under the age of 21, that account will be suspended and the data will be deleted in accordance with this policy. If you believe a minor has registered on PHDula, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

11. Changes to This Policy

PHDula may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate or to comply with updated obligations. When we make material changes, we will display a notice on the platform and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of PHDula after changes are published constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy. If you have questions about any changes, contact us at [email protected].

How PHDula Keeps Your Data Safe

A look at the specific practices and technologies we rely on to protect every Filipino player on the platform.

SSL Encryption

All data exchanged between your device and phdula.vu travels over an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. No one in between can read your account or payment information in transit.

KYC Verification

Identity verification ensures your account belongs to you and only you. No one else can access your balance or process a withdrawal using your account without clearing your own verified identity.

OTP Authentication

One-time password verification adds a second layer of protection to login and sensitive account actions. Even if your password were compromised, OTP access is still required from your registered mobile number.

Fraud Monitoring

Automated and manual monitoring keeps watch for unusual account behaviour, login anomalies, and suspicious transaction patterns — protecting both individual accounts and the integrity of the platform.

Limited Data Access

Personal data within PHDula is accessible only to the team members who genuinely need it to perform their role. Access is logged, reviewed, and controlled through internal access management protocols.

Regular Security Reviews

PHDula conducts ongoing reviews of its security practices and infrastructure to respond to new risks and ensure that protective measures stay current with evolving standards.
