phjoh Privacy Policy — What You Need to Know
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by phjoh ("phjoh", "we", "us", "our") and applies to all personal data collected from players and visitors who access the phjoh platform at phjoh.net, including all associated services, features, games, promotions, and communications.
Throughout this Policy, "you", "player", and "user" refer to any individual who visits, registers on, or otherwise interacts with phjoh. "Personal data" or "personal information" refers to any information that identifies or can reasonably be used to identify you as an individual — such as your name, email address, contact number, financial account details, and device identifiers.
phjoh operates in compliance with the Republic of the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By using phjoh, completing registration, or accessing your phjoh login, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein.
Note: This Privacy Policy should be read alongside phjoh's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are incorporated by reference and form part of your overall agreement with phjoh.
phjoh's Commitment to Your Privacy
We take data protection seriously. Here are the six core principles that guide how phjoh handles your personal information every single day.
Lawful Collection Only
phjoh collects personal data only for lawful, specified, and legitimate purposes — primarily to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with Philippine gaming and anti-money laundering regulations.
Purpose Limitation
We do not use your personal data for purposes incompatible with why it was originally collected. Your data is never sold to third-party advertisers or data brokers. What you share with phjoh stays with phjoh.
Transparency & Clarity
We tell you upfront what data we collect and why. This Policy is written in plain language so every Filipino player — whether in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else — can understand their rights without needing a lawyer.
Security First
phjoh employs industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure — including SSL encryption across the entire platform.
RA 10173 Compliant
Our data practices are aligned with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and overseen in accordance with the National Privacy Commission's guidelines — giving you formal legal protections as a data subject in the Philippines.
Your Rights Are Real
You have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data held by phjoh. You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting our data privacy team — no runaround, no unnecessary delays.
Complete Privacy Policy
The following sections constitute the full and binding Privacy Policy between you and phjoh. Please read each section carefully to understand how your data is handled.

All third parties with whom phjoh shares personal data are contractually required to handle that data securely and only for the specified purpose for which it was shared.
4 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
phjoh uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform effectively and improve your experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit phjoh.
We use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in via phjoh login and security tokens. You cannot opt out of these cookies without also opting out of phjoh entirely.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, display preferences, and last-played games to personalise your phjoh experience.
- Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players use phjoh — such as which games are most popular and how long sessions last — to help us improve the platform.
- Security & Fraud Prevention Cookies: Help us detect suspicious login behaviour, identify unusual account activity, and protect your phjoh account from unauthorised access.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent phjoh from functioning correctly. phjoh does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking for marketing purposes.
5 Data Security Measures
phjoh takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:
- SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and phjoh is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. This applies to all phjoh login sessions, financial transactions, and account management activities.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive personal data — including financial account details and identity documents — is stored in encrypted form on secured servers.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within phjoh is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.
- Two-Factor Authentication: phjoh supports two-factor authentication for player accounts to provide an additional layer of security beyond standard phjoh login credentials.
- Security Monitoring: phjoh operates continuous monitoring systems to detect and respond to suspicious activity, potential data breaches, and security threats in real time.
- Incident Response: In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, phjoh will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players as required under RA 10173.
While phjoh employs robust security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for keeping your phjoh login credentials confidential and reporting any suspected unauthorised access immediately.
6 Data Retention
phjoh retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations.
- Active Accounts: While your phjoh account remains active, we retain all personal data associated with your account as needed to provide our services to you.

- Support Records: Customer support communications are retained for up to three (3) years after the resolution of a query or complaint.
- Legal Holds: Where personal data is subject to an ongoing legal dispute, regulatory investigation, or court order, it will be retained until the matter is fully resolved regardless of the standard retention periods above.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, phjoh will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be attributed to you.

8 Children & Minors
phjoh is strictly an adult platform. Under Philippine law, the minimum legal age for participation in casino-style gambling is 21 years. phjoh does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
All registration attempts are subject to age verification processes. Where phjoh discovers or is notified that an account has been created by a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all gameplay activity will be voided, and any personal data collected from that individual will be deleted as soon as practicable — except where retention is required by applicable law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 21 has registered on phjoh, please contact us immediately at the email address listed in Section 12 of this Policy.
9 Third-Party Services & Links
The phjoh platform may reference or interact with third-party services — including payment processors such as GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank — for the purpose of completing financial transactions. These third-party services operate under their own independent privacy policies, and phjoh is not responsible for the data practices of any third-party service provider.
phjoh does not embed third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or external analytics services that would allow third parties to collect personal data about phjoh players without your knowledge. Any third-party tools used by phjoh are subject to strict contractual data processing agreements.

The updated Privacy Policy will take effect immediately upon posting. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of phjoh following the posting of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
