40 ph Privacy Policy – How Your Personal Data Is Handled

Last updated: January 2025. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information 40 ph collects from users in the Philippines, how we use it, and the steps we take to keep it safe. By registering or using our platform, you agree to the practices described here.

What Information Do We Collect and Why?

1. Information We Collect

When you register or use the 40 ph platform, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to provide you with a safe and functional gaming experience. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and the payment details you use to deposit or withdraw funds in Philippine pesos. We may also collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs to help us maintain platform security and improve performance. In some cases, we may request a government-issued ID or other identity documents to verify your account in line with applicable Philippine regulations. We only collect information that is genuinely needed — we do not gather data beyond what is required to operate the platform and comply with our legal obligations. All data collection is conducted transparently, and you will always be informed of what is being collected and why at the point of collection.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal data we collect is used primarily to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, and ensure that the platform operates securely for all Filipino users. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our terms or policies — these communications are essential and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active. Your transaction history and gameplay data may be used internally to detect unusual activity, prevent fraud, and comply with anti-money laundering requirements under Philippine law. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third-party advertisers or marketing companies. Any data shared with third-party service providers — such as payment processors or identity verification partners — is strictly limited to what those providers need to perform their specific function, and they are contractually required to protect your data.

3. Cookies and Platform Analytics

The 40 ph platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your session preferences, keep you logged in securely, and understand how users navigate the site so we can improve the experience. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. Analytics cookies help us understand which pages and features are most useful to Filipino players, allowing us to prioritise improvements that matter most. You can manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the platform work. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertisements or to track your activity on other websites outside of 40 ph. Our cookie practices are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain proportionate and in line with applicable data protection standards in the Philippines.

4. Data Security and Retention

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Your account is protected by password authentication, and we strongly encourage all users to choose a strong, unique password and to avoid sharing their login credentials with anyone. Personal data is retained for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes or preventing fraud. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data retention schedule. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation, please contact our support team immediately so we can take prompt action to secure your information.

5. Your Rights as a User

As a user of the 40 ph platform based in the Philippines, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you and to ask for corrections if any information is inaccurate or out of date. You may also requestthat we delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal obligations we may have to retain it. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can reach our support team using the contact details available on the platform, and we will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. You also have the right to withdraw your consent to any data processing that is based solely on your consent, at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal. We are committed to handling all data rights requests fairly, promptly, and in full compliance with applicable Philippine data protection law. If you have a concern about how your data has been handled that we have not resolved to your satisfaction, you have the right to raise the matter with the relevant data protection authority in the Philippines.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

The 40 ph platform may contain links to other pages within our own site, such as our FAQ, Responsible Gaming, and Terms and Conditions pages, all of which are governed by this same Privacy Policy. We do not link to external third-party websites from within the platform, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external services that you may access independently. Payment processors and identity verification providers that we work with operate under their own privacy policies and are selected based on their ability to meet appropriate data protection standards. We review our third-party relationships regularly to ensure that any partners handling your data continue to meet our security and compliance requirements. If you have questions about how a specific third-party service handles your data in connection with your use of 40 ph, please contact our support team for clarification.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, platform features, or applicable legal requirements in the Philippines. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users through a prominent notice on the platform or via the contact details associated with your account. The updated policy will always show the effective date at the top of the page so you can easily identify when it was last revised. Continued use of the 40 ph platform after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how your personal data is being protected. If you do not agree with any changes to this policy, you should stop using the platform and contact our support team to discuss your options, including account closure if appropriate.
