PH Scatter Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Personal Data

1Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

PH Scatter operates the online gaming platform at phscatter.best and is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when you use our services. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "PH Scatter," "we," "us," and "our" all refer to the operator of phscatter.best.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through your use of the PH Scatter website and platform, including account registration, deposits, gameplay, promotions, customer support interactions, and any other contact you have with us. It covers all services offered on the platform – casino games, JILI Slots, jackpot games, live Bingo, Sabong, sports betting, and any future features added to the platform.

By registering for a PH Scatter account or continuing to use the platform after this policy has been made available to you, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how we handle your personal data. If you have questions at any point, our support team is available 24/7 and happy to explain anything further.

2What Personal Data We Collect

PH Scatter collects only the data that is necessary to provide you with a safe, compliant, and functional gaming experience. The categories of personal data we collect include:

We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under RA 10173 (such as health data, religious affiliation, political views, or biometric data beyond what is present in your ID document) unless specifically required by regulation.

3How We Collect Your Data

PH Scatter collects personal data through several channels:

• Direct from you: When you register an account, submit identity documents for KYC verification, make deposits or withdrawal requests, contact customer support, participate in promotions, or update your account settings.
• Automatically through your use of the platform: Technical and usage data is collected automatically by our servers and analytics systems when you access the platform. This includes IP address logging, session data, and game activity records required for regulatory compliance.
• From payment processors: When you make a deposit or withdrawal, our payment processing partners share transaction confirmation data with us. PH Scatter does not store full card numbers – these are handled directly by the payment processor.
• From identity verification services: If you submit a government-issued ID for KYC purposes, we may use a third-party verification service to confirm its authenticity. The result of this check is recorded in your account file.
• From fraud detection systems: Our security systems analyse betting patterns and account behaviour to detect fraud, multi-accounting, and money laundering. These systems process your gaming data automatically.

4Why We Use Your Data – Legal Bases

PH Scatter processes your personal data under the following legal bases as recognised by RA 10173:

• Performance of contract: Processing your registration, managing your account, processing deposits and withdrawals, and delivering the games and services you have signed up for. Without this processing, we cannot provide the service.
• Legal obligation: KYC identity verification, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, gaming regulatory requirements, and tax reporting. Philippine law requires us to collect and retain this data regardless of your preferences.
• Legitimate interest: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform analytics to improve game performance and user experience, and responsible gaming monitoring. These interests are balanced against your privacy rights.
• Consent: Marketing communications such as promotional emails and SMS notifications about bonuses and new games. You can withdraw this consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting support.

5Who We Share Your Data With

PH Scatter shares personal data only where it is necessary to deliver our service or comply with legal obligations. Recipients include:

• Payment processors: GCash (GXI), Maya (PayMaya Philippines), GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard network processors. These providers receive only the data required to process your transactions and are governed by their own privacy policies and applicable financial regulations.
• Game providers: JILI Technology and other licensed game providers may receive anonymised session data to support game functionality, jackpot pool management, and RNG audit processes. They do not receive your identity or financial data.
• Identity verification services: Third-party KYC providers process your submitted ID documents for authenticity verification. These providers are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with RA 10173.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission, or any other government body with a lawful request or order. We disclose only what is legally required.
• Cloud and infrastructure providers: Our platform is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure. Provider staff operate under strict access controls and confidentiality agreements.

PH Scatter does not transfer your personal data outside the Philippines except where required to process payments through international card networks (Visa/Mastercard). In such cases, processing is governed by the applicable international financial data standards.

6How Long We Keep Your Data

PH Scatter retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. The following retention periods apply:

After the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be attributed to you as an individual.

7Cookies and Tracking Technologies

PH Scatter uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work properly and to improve your experience. Here is a plain explanation of what we use and why:

• Essential cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They keep you logged in during a session, remember your game preferences within a session, and protect against certain security risks. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without stopping the platform from working.
• Analytics cookies: We use anonymised analytics to understand which games are popular, how players navigate the platform, and where technical issues occur. This helps us improve PH Scatter. No personally identifiable data is included in analytics reports.
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent sessions, bot activity, and multi-account access. These are part of our fair play infrastructure.
• Preference cookies: Remember settings you've chosen such as language preference and notification settings across sessions.

PH Scatter does not use advertising or retargeting cookies from third-party ad networks. You will not be tracked across other websites for the purpose of serving you ads based on your PH Scatter activity.

8How We Protect Your Data

PH Scatter implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data we hold. These include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers. All connections to phscatter.best are encrypted.
• At-rest encryption for stored personal data, including identity documents and financial records.
• Role-based access controls ensuring that staff can only access the personal data necessary for their specific role. Support agents see only what they need to resolve your query.
• Two-factor authentication requirements for staff accessing sensitive data systems.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent security professionals.
• Automated intrusion detection systems that monitor for unusual access patterns 24 hours a day.
• Staff training on data protection obligations under RA 10173, conducted during onboarding and refreshed annually.

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to your rights, PH Scatter will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and will notify affected data subjects within a reasonable period as required by law.

9Your Rights Under RA 10173

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the following rights regarding your personal data held by PH Scatter:

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@phscatter.best or via our live chat. We will acknowledge your request within 3 business days and resolve it within 30 days, or advise you if a longer period is required and the reason for the delay.

Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations where data retention is required by law – for example, we cannot delete transaction records that must be kept under the Anti-Money Laundering Act. We will always explain clearly what we can and cannot do in response to your request.

10Children's Privacy

PH Scatter is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If you are under 21, you are not permitted to register for or use any PH Scatter service.

If PH Scatter becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, that account will be immediately suspended, the data will be deleted, and any funds deposited by the underage user will be returned to the payment method used for the deposit after confirmation of identity.

Parents or guardians who believe their child may have registered on PH Scatter are encouraged to contact us immediately at support@phscatter.best or via live chat. We will investigate and act promptly.

11Changes to This Privacy Policy

PH Scatter may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory requirements, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will:

• Post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date clearly displayed at the top.
• Send a notification to your registered email address explaining what has changed and when the changes take effect.
• Display a notice on the platform for a reasonable period after the update.

Your continued use of PH Scatter after the effective date of any updated policy constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes. If you disagree with any changes, you should stop using the platform and contact support to close your account.

We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically, especially if you are a regular player on PH Scatter. The current effective date is always displayed prominently at the top of this page.
