Privacy Policy – 26phjoin Online Casino Philippines

01 Who We Are

26phjoin is an online gaming platform serving players in the Philippines. When this policy refers to "26phjoin," "we," "us," or "our," it means the platform and its operators. When it refers to "you" or "your," it means any person who visits or uses the 26phjoin website, application, or related services.

For any privacy-related queries, you can reach our support team through the live chat available on your account dashboard, or by emailing [email protected].

02 What Information We Collect

We collect personal information that is necessary to provide our services, maintain account security, process transactions, and comply with applicable requirements. The categories of information we collect include:

We do not collect more information than what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect credit card numbers or cryptocurrency wallet details, as these are not accepted payment methods on the 26phjoin platform.

03 How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used specifically to operate and improve the 26phjoin platform and to serve our Philippines player base. The main purposes are:

• Account management — creating and maintaining your account, verifying your identity, and enabling secure login via OTP authentication.
• Transaction processing — handling PHP deposits and withdrawals through Philippine online banking and e-wallet channels.
• KYC compliance — verifying that you meet the eligibility requirements to use the platform, including the 21-and-above age requirement.
• Customer support — responding to your queries, resolving account issues, and investigating disputes.
• Security and fraud prevention — detecting unauthorised access, unusual account activity, or potential fraud using your device and session data.
• Responsible gaming — monitoring account activity to identify patterns that may indicate problematic gaming behaviour, in line with our Responsible Gaming commitment.
• Platform improvement — using anonymised and aggregated data to understand how players use the platform and where improvements can be made.
• Account communications — sending you relevant account notifications, security alerts, and information about platform features you have opted into.

We do not use your personal data for automated profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant outcomes without a human review element.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information on the following grounds:

• Performance of a contract — processing your data is necessary to provide the 26phjoin services you have signed up for, including account management, game access, and PHP transaction processing.
• Compliance with legal obligations — certain data processing, particularly KYC identity verification, is required to meet applicable obligations.
• Legitimate interests — we process some data (such as device and session data) to protect platform security, detect fraud, and maintain operational integrity.
• Consent — where we send optional marketing communications about platform features or promotions, this is done on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through your account settings.

05 Data Storage and Security

Your personal data is stored on secure servers. We apply the following technical and organisational measures to protect your information:

• All platform sessions are secured with SSL (TLS) encryption, protecting data in transit between your device and our servers.
• Account access requires OTP authentication via your registered Philippine mobile number, adding a second layer of verification beyond your password.
• Access to personal data within our systems is restricted to team members who need it to carry out their specific functions.
• KYC documents submitted for identity verification are stored in a secured environment separate from standard account data.
• We conduct regular reviews of our security practices to address emerging risks.

06 Sharing Your Information

26phjoin does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their independent commercial use. We may share your information with third parties only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors — to facilitate PHP deposits and withdrawals through Philippine banking and e-wallet channels. These providers process payment data under their own privacy practices and security standards.
• Identity verification services — third-party KYC and identity verification providers used to confirm your identity and eligibility as part of the account verification process.
• Technology service providers — platform hosting, security, and analytics providers who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements that restrict how they may use the information.
• Legal and regulatory requirements — where we are required by law, court order, or applicable regulatory requirement to disclose information.
• Fraud and security investigations — where disclosure is necessary to prevent or investigate suspected fraud, illegal activity, or serious security threats affecting the platform or other players.

We do not share your information with advertisers or unrelated third-party marketers.

07 Cookies and Tracking

The 26phjoin website uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain session continuity, remember your preferences, and help us understand how the platform is used. The main types of cookies we use are:

• Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. These keep you logged in during an active session.
• Functional cookies — cookies that remember your language preferences and display settings so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
• Analytics cookies — anonymised data about how pages are used, which helps us identify areas for improvement. This data does not identify individual players.
• Security cookies — used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the integrity of login sessions.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the platform, particularly session and security cookies which are required for secure login.

08 Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or to meet applicable legal obligations. Specific retention considerations include:

• Account data and transaction records are retained for the period required to support account management, dispute resolution, and applicable compliance requirements.
• KYC identity documents are retained for the minimum period required and then securely deleted or anonymised.
• Support communications are retained long enough to enable follow-up on unresolved queries and then routinely purged.
• Accounts that have been permanently closed will have their personal data retained only as required and then deleted or anonymised in line with this policy.

09 Your Rights

As a user of the 26phjoin platform, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. These are described in more detail in the section below. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].

10 Children and Minors

The 26phjoin platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above in the Philippines. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21 years of age. If we discover that an account has been created by a minor, that account will be closed and any associated data deleted or handled in accordance with applicable requirements. If you believe a minor has registered an account on our platform, please contact our support team immediately.

11 Changes to This Policy

26phjoin may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable requirements. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify registered account holders of material changes through their account dashboard or registered email address. Continued use of the platform after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
