1. Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

40 ph is an online entertainment platform offering sports betting, casino-style games, slots, and mobile-first gaming services to players in the Philippines. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the 40 ph website, mobile experience, and any related services you access using your registered account. By creating an account or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how your data is handled under this policy. We are committed to protecting the privacy of every Filipino player who uses our platform, in line with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). If you have questions about this policy at any time, you can reach our support team through the contact details provided in the FAQ section. This policy may be updated periodically, and the date of the most recent revision will always be shown at the top of this page.

2. Personal Data We Collect

When you register and use 40 ph, we collect only the information necessary to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with applicable Philippine regulations. The categories of personal data we may collect include:

• Account information: full name, date of birth, email address, and username chosen during registration.
• Identity verification data: government-issued ID details collected when we are required to verify your identity under applicable rules.
• Financial data: payment method details, transaction history, deposit and withdrawal records in Philippine pesos (PHP).
• Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and session duration, collected automatically when you access the platform.
• Communications: messages you send to our support team and any feedback or enquiries you submit through the platform.

We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly required for account verification and regulatory compliance. All data collection is proportionate to the purpose for which it is used.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

40 ph uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes, all of which are necessary to deliver a safe and functional platform experience for Filipino players. First, we use your account information to create and manage your player account, authenticate your identity at login, and communicate important account-related updates to you. Second, financial data is used to process deposits and withdrawals in PHP, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, and maintain accurate records as required by applicable law. Third, device and usage data helps us improve platform performance, identify technical issues, and personalise your experience based on the games and features you use most. Fourth, we may use your contact details to send you service notifications, security alerts, and responses to your support enquiries — wedo not send unsolicited promotional messages without your consent. Fifth, we process data as required to comply with anti-money laundering obligations, responsible gaming requirements, and other legal duties applicable to online gaming platforms operating in the Philippines. We will never use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those listed here without first obtaining your explicit consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal grounds as recognised under Philippine data privacy law. For account creation and service delivery, processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and 40 ph when you register and use the platform. For identity verification and anti-fraud measures, processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations under applicable Philippine regulations. For platform analytics and service improvement, processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, functional, and enjoyable platform for all Filipino players. Where we rely on your consent — for example, for optional communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. If you have questions about the specific legal basis applied to any particular use of your data, you may contact our support team through the FAQ page.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

40 ph does not sell your personal data to third parties under any circumstances. We may share your information with carefully selected service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors that handle PHP transactions, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers. All third-party service providers are contractually required to process your data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards. We may also disclose your data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines where we are legally required to do so. In the event of a business restructuring or transfer of platform operations, your data may be transferred to a successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will notify you of any material changes to how your data is shared as soon as reasonably practicable.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required by applicable Philippine law and our internal compliance obligations. Transaction records and identity verification data are typically retained for a minimum of five years following the closure of your account, in line with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to online gaming platforms in the Philippines. Usage and device data collected for analytics purposes is retained for a shorter period and is regularly reviewed and purged when no longer necessary. When your data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our data retention schedule. You may request information about the specific retention periods applicable to your data by contacting our support team through the FAQ section.

7. Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a Filipino player and data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data held by 40 ph. You have the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used, which is the primary purpose of this Privacy Policy. You have the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete information. You have the right to object to the processing of your data in certain circumstances, and to request the erasure of data that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations. You also have the right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format — and the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines if you believe your rights have been violated. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details available in the FAQ section, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

40 ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly and to improve your experience as a Filipino player. Essential cookies are required for core platform functionality such as maintaining your login session and remembering your preferences — these cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the platform. Analytics cookies help us understand how players navigate the platform so we can identify areas for improvement; these are processed in aggregate and do not identify you personally. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or share tracking data with advertising networks. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling essential cookies may limit your access to certain platform features. By continuing to use the 40 ph platform after being informed of our cookie use, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this section.

9. Security Measures

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission using industry-standard protocols, access controls that restrict data access to authorised personnel only, regular security assessments of our platform infrastructure, and secure storage practices for sensitive account and financial data. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your information, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and you are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for your 40 ph account and to keep your login credentials confidential. If you suspect that your account has been compromised or that your data has been accessed without authorisation, please contact our support team immediately through the FAQ page. We will investigate all reported security concerns promptly and take appropriate action to mitigate any risk to your data.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

40 ph may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable Philippine law, or the services we offer. The date of the most recent revision is always displayed at the top of this page so you can easily identify when changes were last made. Where updates are material — for example, where we introduce a new purpose for processing your data — we will make reasonable efforts to notify you through the platform or via the contact details associated with your account. Your continued use of the 40 ph platform following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team through the FAQ section. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
