1 Introduction

ph536 is an online gaming platform serving players across the Philippines, including Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and beyond. We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses our platform. This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the ph536 website, mobile platform, and any related services.

ph536 takes its data protection obligations seriously. We collect only the personal data that is necessary to provide our services, comply with legal requirements, and improve the player experience.
