Your privacy matters to us. This page explains exactly what data Ph Swerte collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how you can exercise your rights under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. Walang nakatagong bagay dito — straight to the point lang.
Before diving into the full policy, here's the short version of how Ph Swerte treats your personal information. These commitments apply to every player, every time.
Ph Swerte does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. Your data is used to run your account and improve your experience — full stop.
All data transmitted between your device and Ph Swerte is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols. Your financial details and personal information are never sent in plain text.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data. Ph Swerte provides clear processes to exercise all of these rights.
Ph Swerte collects the minimum personal data required to run your account, comply with Philippine gaming regulations, and process your transactions. We don't ask for information we don't need.
This policy is written in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules. Ph Swerte is registered with the National Privacy Commission.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that could harm you, Ph Swerte will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within the timeframes required by law.
When you create an account at Ph Swerte, you share personal information with us. That's unavoidable — we're a licensed gaming platform operating under Philippine regulations, and we're legally required to verify player identity, process financial transactions, and maintain records for regulatory purposes. But being required to collect data doesn't mean we take that responsibility lightly.
The Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives every Filipino the right to know what happens with their personal information. Ph Swerte takes those rights seriously. We've written this policy in plain, readable language — not just to tick a compliance box, but because we believe you genuinely deserve to know what we do with your data.
This policy covers everything: what we collect when you register and play at Ph Swerte, how we use that data, who we share it with (and who we absolutely don't), how long we keep it, and how you can ask us to access, correct, or delete it. Read through the sections below at your own pace. If something isn't clear, our support team is available 24/7 to explain anything in plain language.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by Ph Swerte through phswerte.my and any related applications or services. By registering or using Ph Swerte, you acknowledge this policy. Please read it carefully — it affects your rights and obligations.

As the PIC, Ph Swerte determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data, and we are responsible for ensuring that all processing activities comply with applicable Philippine privacy law. Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) can be reached at privacy@phswerte.my.

Ph Swerte retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. Specific retention periods include:

The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continuing to use Ph Swerte after an updated policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new version.
