What InformationWe Collect and Why

When you create an account on pharcade1, we collect personal information that is necessary to verify your identity, process your transactions, and deliver a safe gaming experience tailored to Filipino players. This includes your full legal name, date of birth, residential address in the Philippines, mobile number, and email address. We also collect financial information such as your GCash or Maya account details and local bank information when you make deposits or request withdrawals in Philippine pesos. During identity verification, we may request a copy of a government-issued ID such as a PhilSys card, passport, or driver's licence to confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years old. All of this information is collected solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and is never sold or rented to third parties.

In addition to information you provide directly, we automatically collect certain technical data when you access the platform from your mobile device or browser. This includes your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, pages visited, session duration, and in-game activity logs. We use this technical data to improve platform performance, detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure that our services remain stable and responsive for players across the Philippines. We may also use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences and keep your session active — you can manage cookie settings through your browser, though disabling certain cookies may affect how the platform functions. Our goal is to collect only what is genuinely needed to run a secure and enjoyable platform, and we review our data collection practices regularly to make sure they remain proportionate.

How Your Data Is Used, Stored, and Protected

The personal data you provide to pharcade1 is used to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals, verify your identity, respond to support requests, and send you important account-related communications. We do not use your personal information to send unsolicited marketing messages unless you have explicitly opted in to receive promotional updates from us, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team. Your data may also be used to comply with legal obligations applicable in the Philippines, including requirements related to anti-money laundering regulations and responsible gaming standards. When we need to share data with third-party payment processors such as GCash or Maya to complete a transaction, we share only the minimum information necessary and require those providers to handle your data securely. We do not share your personal information with advertisers, data brokers, or any other commercial third parties.

All personal data stored by pharcade1 is protected using industry-standard encryption both in transit and at rest. Access to your account data is restricted to authorised personnel only, and our internal systems are monitored continuously for unauthorised access attempts. We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes or preventing fraud. If you close your account, you may request deletion of your personal data by contacting our support team, and we will process that request in accordance with our data retention obligations. We take the security of your information seriously and invest in ongoing improvements to our data protection infrastructure to keep your details safe.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a data request to ensure that we are disclosing or modifying information only to the account holder. If you believe that your data rights have not been respected, you have the right to raise a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in the Philippines.

We are committed to making it straightforward for Filipino players to understand and control how their personal information is used.
