Our Privacy Commitments
Six things every ph497 player should know about how we handle personal data before reading the full policy.
Your Data Is Encrypted
All data transmitted between your device and ph497 is protected by SSL encryption. This applies to login sessions, account management, game play, and every payment transaction in Philippine Peso.
We Collect Only What We Need
ph497 collects personal data that is necessary to operate your account, verify your identity, process payments, and keep the platform secure. We do not collect information beyond what is needed for these purposes.
We Never Sell Your Data
ph497 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is not a product on this platform.

Philippines-Focused Data Handling
ph497 serves Filipino players only. Our data handling practices are shaped around the context of the Philippine market, and the personal data we collect is relevant to providing services to players in the Philippines.

3 How We Use Your Data

4 Data Storage & Security
ph497 stores personal data on secure servers with access controls, encryption at rest, and regular security reviews. All data transmitted between your device and ph497 is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, protecting your information during login, gameplay, and transactions.
ph497 retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period afterwards as required by legal, regulatory, or operational needs. When data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data retention procedures.
No online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your ph497 login credentials private. Never share your password or OTP with anyone, including ph497 staff.
5 Sharing Your Data
ph497 does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. In limited circumstances, your data may be shared with trusted parties for operational reasons:
- Payment processors: Financial data necessary to process your PHP deposits and withdrawals is shared with the relevant Philippine payment channels (such as bank transfer networks or e-wallet services) solely to execute the transactions you initiate.
- Identity verification providers: KYC document data may be processed by a trusted verification service for the purpose of confirming your identity.
- Technology service providers: Providers who support platform infrastructure, security monitoring, or analytics may access certain data as part of their service, subject to confidentiality agreements.
- Legal authorities: ph497 will disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies when legally required to do so, without prior notice to you where permitted by law.
All third parties with whom ph497 shares data are contractually bound to handle it securely and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.
6 Cookies & Tracking
ph497 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, maintain your session, and understand how the site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit ph497.
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — including keeping you logged in during a session and maintaining your account state across page loads.
- Security cookies: Used to detect unusual login activity, protect against session hijacking, and support OTP verification flows.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand aggregate usage patterns, such as which game categories are most visited, to guide platform improvements. These do not identify individual users.
Most browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through their settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of your ph497 account session.
