Introduction
57ph ("we," "us," or "our") operates 57ph.vip, an online gaming and sports betting platform serving Filipino players. As a data controller, 57ph takes the privacy and security of every registered player's personal information seriously. We understand that trusting any online platform with your personal details — especially one where real money is involved — requires confidence that the platform handles that information carefully, transparently, and lawfully.
This Privacy Policy is designed to give you a clear and honest picture of what personal data 57ph collects, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your own information. We have written this policy to comply with the Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) of the Philippines, and its implementing rules and regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
This policy applies to all users of 57ph.vip across the Philippines — whether you're accessing the platform from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, or anywhere else in the country. It applies regardless of the device you use to access 57ph, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop browsers.
Data Controller
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy, the data controller responsible for your personal information is the 57ph platform operating through 57ph.vip.
57ph has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine data protection law. You may contact the DPO for any data-related inquiries via the live chat support function at 57ph.vip or by email at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link).
Personal Data We Collect
57ph collects personal data in the following categories. The specific data collected depends on your level of interaction with the platform:
| Category | Examples | When Collected |

| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, gender, government-issued ID type and number | Registration & KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, Philippine mobile number, residential address | Registration & account updates |
| Financial Data | GCash number, PayMaya number, bank account name and number (BPI, BDO, Metrobank), transaction history | Deposit & withdrawal processing |

57ph does not collect sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or biometric data, except where identity verification requires government-issued ID documents that may incidentally contain such information. In such cases, data is used solely for age and identity verification purposes.

Data Sharing & Disclosure
57ph may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:
7.1 Payment Service Providers
GCash (G-Xchange, Inc.), PayMaya (PayMaya Philippines, Inc.), BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa, and Mastercard receive the financial data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers are contractually bound to process your data solely for the purposes of completing your transaction.
7.2 Identity Verification and KYC Providers
57ph uses third-party identity verification service providers to conduct KYC checks and age verification. These providers receive only the identity data necessary to complete the verification process.
7.3 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
57ph is required to disclose player data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission, and other competent Philippine authorities where such disclosure is required by law, court order, or regulatory directive.
7.4 Fraud Detection and Security Service Providers
Technical and behavioral data may be shared with anti-fraud and cybersecurity service providers to detect and prevent fraudulent activity on the 57ph platform.
7.5 Professional Advisers
Legal advisers, auditors, and compliance consultants retained by 57ph may access personal data where strictly necessary for the performance of their professional services, subject to confidentiality obligations.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
8.1 Some of 57ph's service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers and software vendors — may process data in jurisdictions outside the Philippines. Where such cross-border transfers occur, 57ph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard at least equivalent to the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
8.2 Cross-border transfers are conducted only where:
- The recipient country is recognized by the National Privacy Commission as providing adequate data protection;
- Binding contractual obligations (such as standard contractual clauses) ensure adequate protection of transferred data; or
- The transfer is required to perform the contract between 57ph and the data subject (e.g., processing an international payment card transaction).
8.3 57ph does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that lack adequate data protection frameworks without implementing appropriate contractual safeguards first.
Data Retention
9.1 57ph retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and in any event for as long as required by applicable Philippine law. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |

| Financial Transaction Records | 10 years from transaction date | Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160) |
| KYC Documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | AMLA compliance |
| Gaming Activity Logs | 5 years from date of activity | PAGCOR regulatory requirements |
| Support Communications | 3 years from date of communication | Dispute resolution & audit |
| Marketing Preferences | Until consent withdrawn or account closed | Consent-based processing |
| Technical / Log Data | 12 months from collection | Security monitoring |
9.2 Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be attributed to any individual. Where data cannot be deleted immediately due to backup or archival system constraints, it will be isolated from active processing until deletion is possible.
Security Measures
The following security measures are in place across the 57ph platform:
- Transport Security: All data transmitted between your device and 57ph.vip is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL), ensuring that data in transit cannot be intercepted.
- Password Security: User passwords are hashed using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms. 57ph staff cannot view plaintext passwords under any circumstances.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Optional 2FA via OTP to your registered Philippine mobile number is available to all users, providing an additional layer of login security.
- Access Controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff who access personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Data Minimization: 57ph systems are designed to collect and retain only the minimum personal data necessary for each specific processing purpose.
- Penetration Testing: 57ph's infrastructure undergoes regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Incident Response: 57ph maintains a data breach incident response plan. In the event of a breach affecting your personal data, 57ph will notify you and the National Privacy Commission in accordance with applicable Philippine law.
While 57ph employs robust security measures, no online system is entirely immune to risk. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials and for using strong, unique passwords for your 57ph login.
