Introduction
phmagic operates an online gaming and sports betting platform intended for eligible adult players in the Philippines. In the course of providing our services, phmagic collects and processes personal information from registered members. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in a way that is meant to be honest and readable — not buried in legal language that nobody actually works through.
This policy applies to all personal information collected through the phmagic platform, including registration, account management, deposits and withdrawals, game participation, support interactions, and any other touchpoint between phmagic and its members. It also covers data collected automatically through technical means such as cookies and log files during platform use.
By registering a phmagic account or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not register or continue using phmagic.

How We Collect Information
phmagic collects personal information through the following channels:
- Direct input: Information you type in when registering, completing verification, making a payment, or contacting support.
- Automated collection: Technical data gathered automatically when you access or use the phmagic platform, including IP address, browser metadata, and session logs.
- Payment providers: Transaction confirmation and payment method details received from the processing service used for a deposit or withdrawal.
- Identity verification services: Confirmation data returned by third-party verification providers when a document or identity check is processed.
- Cookies and similar technologies: Data collected through cookies and related tools as described in Section 6.
phmagic will never ask you to provide your full card number, full bank account number, or complete government ID number through a chat message or email. Sensitive information is submitted only through the secure fields in your verified phmagic account environment.
phmagic provides clear, localised privacy information for members across the Philippine archipelago.

Why We Use Your Data
phmagic processes personal information only for clear and legitimate purposes. The main reasons we use the data we collect are:
- Account creation and management: Setting up your phmagic account, maintaining it, and providing you with access to the platform and its features.
- Identity verification: Confirming that account holders are who they claim to be, that they meet the age requirement, and that their details are accurate — a legal and regulatory obligation.
- Payment processing: Handling PHP deposits and withdrawals through the payment method selected, and maintaining accurate transaction records.
- Responsible gaming: Monitoring account activity to support member-requested limits, identifying patterns consistent with problem gambling, and delivering appropriate communications when warranted.
- Fraud prevention and security: Detecting suspicious activity, preventing money laundering, and protecting the integrity of the platform and its members.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: Meeting obligations imposed by applicable Philippine laws, gaming regulations, anti-money-laundering rules, and data protection requirements.
- Member support: Responding to account queries, technical issues, and complaints.
- Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated and anonymised usage data to understand how phmagic is used and where experience improvements are needed.
phmagic does not use personal data to make automated decisions that produce significant legal or similarly serious effects on individual members without a human review step where required by applicable law.
5
Sharing Your Data
phmagic does not sell personal information. We do not share member data with third parties for their own marketing. Data is shared only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
- Payment processors: Information required to complete a deposit or withdrawal is passed to the relevant payment provider (such as a GCash, Maya, or bank gateway). These providers handle your transaction data under their own privacy frameworks.
- Identity verification providers: Document images and personal details may be shared with a verification service when phmagic is carrying out a required identity or age check.
- Technology and platform providers: Vendors who support phmagic's infrastructure, gaming software, or security systems may process data on our behalf. They are bound by data processing agreements that restrict use of the data to the service they provide.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: phmagic will disclose personal information to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts when required to do so by applicable Philippine law or a valid legal instrument.
- Business transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of platform assets, member data may be transferred to the successor entity subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.
phmagic only works with service providers that agree to handle member data responsibly and use it solely for the contracted purpose. If you receive an unsolicited message claiming to be from a phmagic partner asking for account details, treat it with caution and verify through official phmagic support channels.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
phmagic uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — and similar tracking technologies to support platform functionality, maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and collect aggregated usage data for analytics purposes.
The main types of cookies used by phmagic are:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic platform operation, including maintaining a secure authenticated session. These cannot be turned off without breaking core functionality.
- Functional cookies: Remember your settings and preferences to improve your experience across sessions.
- Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how the platform is used — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and which features are most used — so phmagic can make informed improvements.
- Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraud, identify unusual login patterns, and protect account integrity.
Most browsers allow you to manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect your ability to log in and use phmagic normally. Essential cookies cannot be practically removed without disrupting your session.

Data Retention
phmagic retains personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. General retention periods for the main data categories are summarised below. Specific circumstances — such as an open dispute, a pending regulatory inquiry, or a legal hold — may extend these periods.
Identity and account data
5–7 years
Retained after account closure to satisfy anti-money-laundering and regulatory record-keeping obligations.
Transaction records
5–7 years
PHP deposit and withdrawal records kept for financial compliance, dispute resolution, and audit purposes.
Activity logs
12–24 months
Session, game, and betting history retained for security monitoring and responsible gaming review.
Support communications
24 months
Chat records and complaint history kept to support quality review and potential dispute follow-up.
Technical and security logs
6–12 months
IP logs and device data retained for security incident investigation and fraud detection.
Analytics data
Anonymised
Aggregated, anonymised usage data is not subject to a retention limit as it cannot be linked back to individual members.
phmagic operates with transparency and respect for the privacy of every member across the Philippines.

Security Measures
phmagic implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, and misuse. These include:
- Encrypted data transmission between your device and the phmagic platform using current industry-standard protocols.
- Access controls that restrict internal access to personal data to staff and systems with a legitimate need for that access.
- Logging and monitoring of access to sensitive data stores to detect unusual activity.
- Regular review of security practices to respond to emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
While phmagic applies these measures consistently, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Members play an important role in protecting their own accounts. Use a strong, unique password for your phmagic login, do not share credentials with anyone, and contact phmagic support immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to member rights, phmagic will follow the applicable notification procedures required under Philippine data protection law.

Your Privacy Rights
As a data subject under applicable Philippine privacy standards, you have meaningful rights over your personal information held by phmagic. These rights are summarised below. To exercise any of them, use the verified contact information inside your phmagic account.
Right of access
Request a copy of the personal information phmagic holds about you and details of how it is being used.
Right to correction
Ask phmagic to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information held in your account record.
Right to erasure
Request deletion of personal data where there is no longer a legal or contractual basis for retaining it.
Right to object

Right to portability
In applicable cases, request a machine-readable copy of your personal data provided directly to phmagic.
Right to restrict processing
Ask phmagic to limit use of your data in certain circumstances while a correction request or objection is being resolved.
phmagic will respond to privacy rights requests within the timeframe required under applicable Philippine law. Some requests may take longer if they are complex or numerous. Identity verification will be required before any request is actioned to protect against unauthorised disclosure.
10
Minors
phmagic is strictly intended for adults who meet the minimum legal age for online gaming under Philippine law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who are below this age threshold. If phmagic discovers that an account has been registered by a minor, it will close the account, reverse any transactions where possible, and delete associated personal data promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered with phmagic, please contact us immediately using the verified support information inside the platform so we can take appropriate action.
11
International Data Transfers
phmagic's primary operations are focused on the Philippine market. Where personal data is processed by service providers or technology partners operating from outside the Philippines, phmagic ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection law. This may include data processing agreements requiring the recipient to maintain equivalent protections to those described in this Privacy Policy.
By registering with phmagic and providing personal information, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines subject to these protective measures.
12
Changes to This Privacy Policy
phmagic may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When material changes are made, phmagic will make reasonable efforts to notify members through a notice on the platform or by email to the address registered on your account.
The effective date at the top of this document will always reflect when the current version was last updated. We encourage all members to review the Privacy Policy periodically rather than waiting for a notification. Continued use of phmagic after an update takes effect means you accept the revised policy.
