Our Data Commitments
Privacy Principles at ph576
These six principles guide every decision ph576 makes about how your personal information is handled. They reflect our obligations under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and our own standards.
Lawful Collection
ph576 only collects personal data when there is a clear lawful basis for doing so — your consent, a contractual obligation, or a regulatory requirement under Philippine law.
Purpose Limitation
Your data is collected for specific, clearly defined purposes and is never used in ways that go beyond those purposes without your knowledge or renewed consent.
Data Minimization
We only collect the data we actually need. If a piece of information is not necessary for providing or improving ph576 services, we do not ask for it.
Accuracy
ph576 keeps your personal data as accurate and up to date as possible. You can update your account information at any time from your ph576 dashboard.
Storage Limitation
Personal data is not retained longer than necessary. Once the purpose for which data was collected has been fulfilled, ph576 deletes or anonymizes it in accordance with our retention schedule.
Security by Default
All personal data stored by ph576 is protected using industry-standard encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.

1 About This Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out how ph576 — operated by GoTech Entertainment — collects, processes, stores, uses, and protects personal information about individuals ("you", "the Player") who access or use the ph576 online gaming platform at ph576.net and any related mobile applications or services (collectively, the "Platform").
This Policy is issued in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the relevant issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. It is also aligned with the data protection requirements applicable to PAGCOR-licensed online gaming operators.
By registering for or using the ph576 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Platform.
2 Who We Are
The data controller responsible for your personal information is GoTech Entertainment, the operator of the ph576 Platform. GoTech Entertainment holds a valid authorization from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to operate an online gaming platform within the Philippines.
GoTech Entertainment has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act. The DPO is responsible for overseeing ph576's data protection compliance, handling data subject requests, and serving as the point of contact with the National Privacy Commission. Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 13 of this Policy.
3 Data We Collect
ph576 collects personal data from you directly when you register, use the Platform, and interact with our services, as well as automatically through your use of the website. The categories of personal data we collect are described below.
3.1 Registration & Identity Data
When you create a ph576 account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, gender, Philippine residential address, email address, and mobile number. This information is required to create and manage your account and to comply with PAGCOR's player registration requirements.
3.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data
To comply with PAGCOR regulations and Republic Act No. 9160 (the Anti-Money Laundering Act), ph576 is required to verify your identity before enabling full account functionality. KYC data collected includes copies of a valid Philippine government-issued photo ID (such as a PhilSys national ID, UMID, passport, or driver's license), a selfie or liveness check image, and proof of residential address. Where required by law or PAGCOR regulations, we may also collect source of funds or source of wealth declarations.
3.3 Financial & Transaction Data
ph576 collects payment method details and transaction records associated with your account, including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, payment method types (e.g., GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO), transaction reference numbers, and account balance history. ph576 does not store full payment card numbers or bank account credentials — these are handled directly by our regulated payment processing partners.
3.4 Gaming Activity Data
We record your gaming activity on the ph576 Platform, including games played, bets placed, wagering amounts, game outcomes, bonus usage, session durations, and responsible gaming tool activations (such as deposit limits or self-exclusion requests). This data is used for account management, fraud prevention, regulatory reporting, and player protection purposes.
3.5 Technical & Usage Data
When you access the ph576 Platform, we automatically collect technical information including your IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, geolocation data (to verify Philippine residency), pages visited, time and duration of visits, and referral source. This data is collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies, as described in Section 7.
3.6 Communications Data
If you contact ph576 customer support via Live Chat or email, we retain records of those communications, including the content of messages, timestamps, and resolution notes. This data is used to manage support queries, improve service quality, and maintain records of player interactions as required by our regulatory obligations.
