22ph Privacy Policy — Understand How Your Data Is Handled

Your personal information matters, and 22ph takes its responsibility to protect it seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect when you use our platform, why we collect it, how it is stored and used, and what rights you have over it. We keep things straightforward so you always know where you stand. If you have questions after reading this page, our FAQ is a good next stop.

What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by 22ph when you visit our website, register an account, make a deposit, play games, or contact our support team. It covers data collected through our website at 22ph.bid, our mobile platform, and any communications you have with us by email or through our support channels. By using the 22ph platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically, as we may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. The most recent version of this policy is always the one published on this page, with the effective date noted at the top.

1. Information We Collect

When you register an account with 22ph, we collect personal information that is necessary to create and manage your account, verify your identity, and comply with our legal obligations. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. During the identity verification process, we may also request a copy of a government-issued ID and a selfie or proof of address document. When you make deposits or withdrawals, we collect transaction details including payment method information, amounts, and timestamps. We also collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser information, and session activity logs, which help us maintain platform security and improve your experience.

  • Registration details: name, date of birth, email, mobile number, address
  • Identity verification documents: government-issued ID, proof of address
  • Financial transaction records: deposit and withdrawal history
  • Technical data: IP address, device info, browser type, session logs
  • Communications: support tickets, emails, and chat records

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal data we collect is used exclusively for the purposes of operating the 22ph platform and fulfilling our obligations to you as a registered player. We use your information to verify your identity and age, process your deposits and withdrawals, manage your account, and provide customer support. Your data also helps us detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities that could harm you or the integrity of the platform. We use technical and behavioural data to improve platform performance, personalise your experience, and ensure that our games and features work correctly on your device. Where required by Philippine law or regulatory authorities, we may also use your data to fulfil reporting and compliance obligations. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review.

3. Sharing Your Information

22ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes — full stop. We only share your data with third parties where it is strictly necessary to operate the platform or comply with legal requirements. This includes our licensed payment processors who handle deposit and withdrawal transactions, our identity verification service providers who assist with KYC compliance, and our game software providers who need session data to deliver game content. All third-party service providers we work with are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We may also disclose your information to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts when required to do so by law. In the event of a business transfer or acquisition, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction, and you will be notified in advance.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your personal data is stored on secure servers using industry-standard encryption and access controls. We implement technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Access to personal data within 22ph is restricted to staff members who need it to perform their job functions, and all such access is logged and monitored. We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements. When data is no longer required and retention obligations have been met, it is securely deleted or anonymised. While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and you are also responsible for keeping your account credentials safe.

5. Your Rights Over Your Data

As a player on the 22ph platform, you have rights over your personal data that we are committed to respecting. You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and we will provide this within a reasonable timeframe upon verified request. You may also request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data in your account. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data — however, this right may be limited where we are required to retain data for legal or regulatory reasons. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your full name, registered email address, and a clear description of your request. We will acknowledge your request promptly and aim to resolve it within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in the Philippines if you believe your rights have not been respected.

6. Cookies and Tracking

22ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work correctly and to improve your experience. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function — they keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and ensure that transactions are processed securely. We also use analytical cookies to understand how players navigate the platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues may occur. These analytics help us make the platform better for everyone. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, but please note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the platform. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your activity across other websites. Our cookie practices are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain appropriate and proportionate.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable laws and regulations in the Philippines. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players by email. We encourage you to check this page periodically so you are always aware of how your data is being handled. Continued use of the 22ph platform after any changes have been published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you have concerns about any changes, please contact us at [email protected] before continuing to use the platform. We are always happy to explain what has changed and why.


Quick Answers on Privacy

The most common questions players ask about how 22ph handles personal data.

No. 22ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes. Your data is only shared with service providers who are directly involved in operating the platform — such as payment processors and identity verification partners — and only for the specific purpose required. All such partners are contractually bound to handle your data securely. We take this commitment seriously and it will not change.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by Philippine law, including anti-money laundering and gaming regulatory requirements. Once the applicable retention period has passed and there is no legal reason to keep your data, it is securely deleted or anonymised. If you want to know the specific retention period that applies to your data, you can contact us at [email protected] and we will provide that information.

Yes, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances. However, this right may be limited where we are legally required to retain records — for example, transaction history and identity verification documents that must be kept under Philippine anti-money laundering regulations. To submit a deletion request, email [email protected] with your full name and registered email address. We will review your request and respond within 30 days, explaining what can be deleted and what must be retained and why.

Identity verification is a legal requirement for licensed online gaming platforms operating in the Philippines. It ensures that players are who they say they are, that they meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old, and that the platform is not being used for money laundering or other financial crimes. The documents you provide during verification are stored securely and used only for compliance purposes. Completing verification also protects your account — it makes it much harder for anyone else to access or misuse your funds.
