1 Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how 20ph ("we," "us," "our," or "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data relating to individuals who visit, register on, or use the online casino and sports betting services available at 20ph.app ("the Platform").
This Policy applies to all users of the 20ph platform, including registered account holders, visitors browsing the site without an account, and individuals who contact our customer support team. It covers all personal data processed through the platform, regardless of whether you access 20ph from Manila, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao, or any other location in the Philippines.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the 20ph platform as a whole. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms and Conditions on matters of data privacy, this Policy shall prevail.
2 Data Controller
20ph is the data controller responsible for your personal data collected through the platform. As data controller, 20ph determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed, in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
All data processing activities carried out by 20ph are conducted within a PAGCOR-regulated environment, meaning our data handling practices are subject to both gaming regulatory oversight and the broader data protection framework under Philippine law.
If you have any questions about how 20ph processes your personal data, or wish to exercise any of your rights under the Data Privacy Act, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
