01Who We Are

phfamous is an online gaming platform serving players in the Philippines. Our website is accessible at phfamous.vu, and we also offer a dedicated mobile app for Android and iOS, downloadable from the Download page.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, phfamous is the data controller responsible for your personal information collected through the platform. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, you can reach us at [email protected].

02What Data We Collect

We collect different types of personal information depending on how you interact with phfamous. This includes:

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or religious beliefs.

03How We Collect Your Data

phfamous collects your personal data through several channels:

• Direct input — when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal request, or contact support.
• Automated collection — when you browse phfamous, our systems automatically record technical data such as your IP address, device type, and browsing behaviour through cookies and similar technologies.
• Third-party providers — payment processors, identity verification services, and fraud detection partners may share data with us as part of completing a transaction or verifying your account.

We only collect data that is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not purchase or acquire personal data from unrelated third-party data brokers.

04Why We Use Your Data

phfamous uses your personal information for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your account, including processing your login and account preferences.
• To verify your identity and age as part of KYC requirements, ensuring only eligible players aged 21 and above access the platform.
• To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through supported local payment channels.
• To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal or prohibited activity.
• To provide customer support and respond to your enquiries promptly.
• To send you account-related communications such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, and OTPs.
• To improve the platform — analysing usage patterns helps us understand what works well and what needs improvement.
• To apply responsible gaming measures, including monitoring for signs of problem gambling and enforcing self-exclusion requests.
• To comply with any applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

05Who We Share Your Data With

phfamous does not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. We may share your data only with the following categories of recipients, and only to the extent necessary:

• Payment processors — to facilitate deposits and withdrawals through Philippine banking and e-wallet channels.
• Identity verification providers — to complete KYC checks as required before processing your first withdrawal.
• Fraud prevention and security services — to protect both the platform and its players from fraudulent activity.
• Game content providers — game studios supplying content to the phfamous lobby may receive limited session data necessary to run their games correctly.
• Legal and regulatory authorities — where we are required to disclose information by law or in response to a valid legal request.
• IT and platform service providers — hosting, security, and technical support vendors who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.

Any third party we work with is required to handle your data securely and only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.

06Data Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards, in line with our operational and legal obligations. Specific retention guidelines include:

• Account and identity data is retained for the duration of your account and for a defined period following account closure, as required for audit and legal compliance purposes.
• Financial transaction records are kept for an extended period in accordance with standard financial record-keeping practices.
• KYC documents are stored securely and retained for as long as legally required.
• Support communications are kept for a reasonable period to assist with dispute resolution and quality assurance.

Once the applicable retention period has passed, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you.

07How We Protect Your Data

The security of your personal information is a priority at phfamous. We use a combination of technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse:

• SSL encryption — all data transmitted between your device and phfamous is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Secure data storage — account credentials are stored in encrypted form. We never store plain-text passwords.
• OTP and two-step verification — sensitive actions such as withdrawals may require an OTP confirmation sent to your registered mobile number or email.
• Access controls — only authorised phfamous personnel with a legitimate need have access to personal data, and all access is logged.
• Regular security reviews — our platform is subject to ongoing security monitoring to identify and address vulnerabilities.

08Your Rights Over Your Data

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data phfamous holds about you.
• Right to correction — if any of your details are inaccurate or outdated, you can request that we update them.
• Right to deletion — you may request that we delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.
• Right to restrict processing — in certain circumstances, you may ask us to limit how we use your data while a concern is being reviewed.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all data requests within a reasonable timeframe. Some requests may require identity verification before they can be processed.

phfamous uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep the platform running smoothly and to understand how players use it. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the site.

• Essential cookies — required for the platform to function correctly. These handle login sessions, security tokens, and core navigation. They cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.

• Preference cookies — remember your settings such as language and display preferences across sessions.

Most browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through their settings. However, disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to log in or use certain platform features correctly. phfamous does not use cookies to serve third-party advertisements.

10Children's Privacy

phfamous is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If you believe a minor has registered or accessed phfamous using your details or any other means, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and close the account.

We take the protection of minors seriously and have age verification measures in place as part of the registration and KYC process. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be closed without delay.

11Updates to This Policy

phfamous may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in technology, or updates to applicable data protection requirements. When we make changes, the revised policy will be published on this page with an updated date at the top.

We recommend checking this page periodically. If we make significant changes that materially affect how your data is used, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you through your registered email address or via an in-platform notification.

Continued use of phfamous after an updated policy is posted means you accept the revised version. If you disagree with any change, you should stop using the platform and request account closure.
