At 8php, your privacy matters as much as your gameplay. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have as a Filipino player under Philippine law.
Last Updated: January 1, 2026These highlights summarize the core principles behind 8php's approach to data privacy. They complement — but do not replace — the full Privacy Policy below.
8php processes all personal data in full compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 — the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 — and its implementing rules. Your data rights as a Filipino player are fully respected.
Every piece of data transmitted between your device and the 8php platform is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. Your account credentials, payment details, and personal information are never sent in plain text.
8php does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to operate the platform, comply with regulations, and improve your experience.
We only collect the personal data we genuinely need to operate 8php safely and legally. This policy tells you exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it — no hidden data practices.
As a registered 8php player, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data. You can also withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings.
8php shares data with PAGCOR and other Philippine regulatory bodies only when legally required to do so. All such disclosures are made in strict accordance with applicable law and are limited to the minimum information necessary.

While 8php takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, 8php will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 8php. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer (see Section 14):
Request a copy of the personal data 8php holds about you and information about how it is processed.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
Object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on legitimate interests.
Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.
Request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute is being resolved.
Withdraw consent for marketing communications or non-essential cookies at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing.
Lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines if you believe your data rights have been violated.
8php will respond to all data rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt.

There is no fee for exercising your data rights, unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
The 8php Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. 8php does not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data from any person under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the 8php registration process, and we conduct additional KYC checks to confirm player age.
If 8php becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 without appropriate verification, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe that a minor has registered on the 8php Platform, please contact our Data Protection Officer immediately using the contact details in Section 14.
8php primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the Philippines — for example, where we use cloud infrastructure or third-party service providers with operations in other jurisdictions.
Where such international transfers occur, 8php ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission, binding corporate rules, or transfers to countries recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection.
By using the 8php Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to other countries where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to the safeguards described above.
8php reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players by email and/or through a prominent notice on the Platform at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how 8php protects your personal data. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
8php has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding your personal data or this Privacy Policy, please contact our DPO using the details below.
If you are not satisfied with 8php's response to your data privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. Information about how to file a complaint with the NPC is available on the NPC's official website.
