Children's Privacy
The ph653 platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above, consistent with PAGCOR regulations governing online gambling in the Philippines. ph653 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If ph653 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete the personal data, and take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable PAGCOR and NPC regulatory requirements. Any balance associated with an account found to belong to a minor will be handled in accordance with PAGCOR guidelines.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered a ph653 account, please contact ph653 support immediately at [email protected] (plain text only — not a clickable link).
International Data Transfers
ph653 primarily stores and processes personal data within the Philippines and in data center facilities that meet Philippine regulatory standards. In limited circumstances — for example, where a licensed game provider or KYC verification partner operates infrastructure outside the Philippines — personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the Philippines.
Where such international transfers occur, ph653 takes appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data receives a level of protection consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012, including by executing data transfer agreements with receiving parties and conducting data transfer impact assessments as required under NPC guidelines. ph653 will not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide adequate data protection standards without implementing appropriate contractual safeguards.

Your continued use of the ph653 platform following the publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated terms.
