10. Children's Privacy

The phtaya4 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming laws. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a person under 21 has provided us with personal data or has registered an account, we will immediately suspend the account, delete the associated personal data, and report the incident as required by PAGCOR regulations.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has accessed the phtaya4 platform or provided us with personal data, please contact our support team immediately so we can take appropriate action.

11. International Data Transfers

phtaya4 primarily stores and processes personal data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, data may be processed by our service providers in other countries — for example, where a game software provider or cloud infrastructure partner operates servers outside the Philippines.

In all such cases, phtaya4 ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place, including data processing agreements that require the recipient to provide a level of data protection equivalent to that required under RA 10173. We do not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide adequate data protection without implementing such safeguards.

12. Third-Party Links

The phtaya4 platform may contain references to third-party services such as payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, Philippine banks). While we take care to work only with reputable partners, phtaya4 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with in connection with your use of phtaya4.

phtaya4 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.

The updated Privacy Policy will be published at phtaya4.net/privacy-policy with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the phtaya4 platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
