This Privacy Policy applies to all players and visitors of phcash17.net. By using PHCash 17 — whether registering an account, making a deposit, placing a bet, or simply browsing the site — you acknowledge that you have read this policy and consent to the data practices described herein.
1. Overview
PHCash 17 is committed to handling your personal data with care, transparency, and respect. We understand that trust is the foundation of any online relationship — and for a platform where Filipino players are depositing real Philippine Peso and sharing their personal information, that responsibility is something we take seriously.
This Privacy Policy explains in plain language how PHCash 17 collects, stores, uses, and protects personal data relating to players and visitors of phcash17.net. It also sets out your rights regarding the data we hold about you, and how to exercise those rights if you need to.
This policy should be read alongside the PHCash 17 Terms and Conditions, which govern the broader relationship between you and the platform. If there is any inconsistency between the two documents on a data privacy matter, this Privacy Policy takes precedence.
PHCash 17 is built on transparency — your data is handled with the same care we give every player experience
2. Who We Are
PHCash 17 operates the online gaming platform accessible at phcash17.net. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, PHCash 17 is the data controller — meaning we determine the purposes and means by which personal data collected through this platform is processed.
PHCash 17 is a licensed gaming operator. Our operations comply with applicable data protection and gaming regulations. If you have any questions about who controls your data or how to exercise your rights, you can contact us directly via the contact details provided in Section 14 of this policy.
3. Personal Data We Collect

- Payment method ownership documents (e.g., screenshot of GCash account in your name)
3.3 Financial Data
- Deposit and withdrawal transaction records
- Payment method details (GCash number, Maya account, bank account details, card BIN — not full card numbers)
- Transaction amounts, dates, and reference numbers
3.4 Gaming Activity Data
- Games played, bet amounts, win/loss records, session durations

3.6 Communication Data

What we do not collect: PHCash 17 does not collect full payment card numbers or CVV codes. Payment processing is handled by licensed third-party payment processors operating under their own security certifications. We receive only the minimum transaction reference data needed to credit your account and process withdrawals.
4. How We Collect Your Data
PHCash 17 collects personal data through the following channels:
- Directly from you: When you register an account, complete identity verification, make a deposit or withdrawal request, contact support, or participate in promotions.
- Automatically via the platform: When you browse phcash17.net, session data, device information, and cookies are collected automatically by our servers and analytics tools.
- From payment processors: PHCash 17 receives transaction confirmation data from payment partners including GCash, Maya, and partner banks. This data is limited to what is necessary to process and record your transactions.
- From identity verification services: Where a third-party KYC provider is used to verify your identity documents, that provider may share verification results with PHCash 17. We receive a pass/fail result and the data categories needed to confirm your identity, not raw document scans stored by the provider.
PHCash 17 collects only what's necessary — and keeps it protected with industry-standard security

PHCash 17 processes personal data on the following legal bases, consistent with applicable data protection legislation including the Philippines' Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173):

7. Who We Share Your Data With
PHCash 17 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
7.1 Payment Processors
To process deposits and withdrawals, PHCash 17 shares necessary transaction data with our payment partners — including GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay, PESONet, and partner banks. These entities operate under their own data protection obligations and are contractually bound to handle your data securely.
7.2 Identity Verification Providers
PHCash 17 uses licensed third-party KYC service providers to verify the identity of players as required by our gaming licence. These providers receive only the data necessary to complete verification and are bound by confidentiality and data security obligations.
7.3 Game Software Providers
Game providers that supply software to PHCash 17 may receive anonymised or pseudonymised gameplay data necessary to operate their games on our platform. No directly identifiable data (such as your full name or payment details) is shared with game providers.
7.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
PHCash 17 will disclose personal data to relevant government bodies, regulators, or law enforcement agencies when legally required to do so — including under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) of the Philippines and its amendments. Such disclosures are limited strictly to what is legally required.
7.5 Professional Advisers
PHCash 17 may share data with legal advisers, auditors, and compliance consultants on a strictly need-to-know basis and subject to professional confidentiality obligations.
No cross-border data transfers without protection: Where personal data is shared with entities outside the Philippines, PHCash 17 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the standards set by the National Privacy Commission.

9. How Long We Keep Your Data
PHCash 17 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:
- Account and registration data: Retained for the duration of your active account and for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, as required under Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
- Transaction and financial records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, or longer if required by regulatory authorities.
- KYC and identity documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years after the verification is completed or after account closure, whichever is later.
- Support and communication records: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the communication, unless a longer period is required for legal or compliance purposes.
- Gaming activity logs: Retained for five (5) years, used for regulatory audits, dispute resolution, and responsible gaming monitoring.
- Analytics data: Anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely, as it cannot be used to identify you as an individual.
When data is no longer required and retention obligations have been fulfilled, PHCash 17 will securely delete or anonymise the data in accordance with industry-standard data destruction procedures.
10. How We Protect Your Data
PHCash 17 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Key measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and phcash17.net is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols — the same technology used by Philippine banks for internet banking.
- Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to PHCash 17 personnel who require it for their specific job function. Access is logged and monitored.
- Secure data storage: Data is stored on secured servers with physical and logical access controls, regular vulnerability assessments, and automated threat monitoring.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): PHCash 17 supports two-factor authentication for player account login to reduce the risk of unauthorised account access.
- Data minimisation: PHCash 17 collects only the personal data that is genuinely needed for each stated purpose — no speculative data collection.
- Staff training: PHCash 17 personnel who handle personal data receive regular training on data protection obligations and secure handling procedures.
No system is completely immune to risk. While PHCash 17 takes comprehensive steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. If you become aware of any security vulnerability or believe your account has been compromised, please contact support immediately at support@phcash17.net.
