Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 991ph. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details provided in Section 14.
Right to Access
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is being used and with whom it has been shared.
Right to Rectification
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. Corrections to identity data may require re-verification.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes collected, subject to our legal retention obligations under PAGCOR and AML regulations.
Right to Object
Object to processing of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests where your specific situation warrants it.
Right to Data Portability
Request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contract.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Withdraw consent for marketing communications or non-essential cookies at any time through your account settings, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing based on that consent.
We will respond to all verified data rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further two months and will notify you accordingly. We will not charge a fee for handling data rights requests unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you believe that 991ph has not handled your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
During registration, 991ph collects date of birth information and conducts age verification as part of our mandatory KYC process. No account will be fully activated — and no withdrawals will be processed — until age verification has been successfully completed. This is a non-negotiable PAGCOR compliance requirement.
If we discover that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the relevant account, return any funds held in that account in accordance with applicable regulations, and securely delete all personal data associated with that account. Parents or guardians who believe their minor child has registered on 991ph should contact our support team immediately.
991ph also supports responsible gaming tools to help adults manage their gaming activity, including deposit limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion. For more information, please visit our Responsible Gaming page.
Some of the third-party service providers used by 991ph — including cloud infrastructure providers and game software developers — may process your personal data outside the Philippines. Where such cross-border transfers occur, 991ph ensures that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:
- Entering into data processing agreements that incorporate standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) or equivalent international data protection standards.
- Transferring data only to jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection, as assessed by the NPC or under applicable Philippine regulations.
- Applying technical safeguards, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, to protect personal data transferred internationally.
You may request further information about the safeguards applied to specific international data transfers by contacting our Data Protection Officer at the address provided in Section 14.
991ph reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, or the evolution of our platform. We will always post the most current version of this Policy on this page, with the effective date clearly indicated.
For material changes — those that significantly affect how we process your personal data or your rights — we will provide prominent notice on the 991ph platform and, where required by the Data Privacy Act, seek renewed consent. Your continued use of the 991ph platform following the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how 991ph protects your data. The date at the top of this page always reflects when the Policy was last revised.
