• Access Controls: Access to personal information is restricted to authorized ph52 personnel on a need-to-know basis. All employees undergo background checks and sign confidentiality agreements. Multi-factor authentication is required for accessing production systems.
• Network Security: ph52 infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). Regular vulnerability scans and penetration testing are conducted by independent security firms.
• Secure Data Centers: Personal information is stored in certified, secure data centers with 24/7 physical security, environmental controls, and redundant power and cooling systems.
• Incident Response: ph52 maintains an incident response plan to quickly detect, contain, and remediate security breaches. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as required by law.
• Regular Audits: Our security practices and controls are regularly audited by independent third-party security professionals and compliance firms.

While ph52 employs industry-leading security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.

7. Data Retention and Storage

ph52 retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and resolve disputes. Specific retention periods include:

• Active Accounts: Personal information is retained for the duration your account remains active plus the periods specified below after account closure.
• Closed Accounts: After you close your account, we retain identification documents, transaction records, and betting history for seven (7) years to comply with gaming regulations, anti-money laundering laws, and tax requirements.
• Marketing Data: If you opt out of marketing communications, we retain your email address and phone number on a suppression list to honor your opt-out preference.
• Dispute Resolution: Information related to disputes, complaints, or legal matters is retained until the matter is resolved and any applicable limitation periods have expired.
• Responsible Gaming Records: Self-exclusion records are retained permanently to ensure effectiveness of exclusion periods and prevent circumvention through new account creation.

After applicable retention periods expire, personal information is securely deleted or anonymized such that it can no longer be associated with you. Anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and research purposes.
