piso9 Privacy Policy
At piso9, protecting your personal information is a core commitment — not just a legal requirement. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you hold as a piso9 player under Philippine law.
How piso9 Keeps Your Data Safe
These highlights summarize our data protection principles. The full legal detail is in the policy sections below — we encourage every piso9 player to read through them.
Encrypted Data Storage
All personal data stored on piso9 systems is encrypted at rest using industry-standard protocols. Payment details are further protected through tokenization — piso9 never stores raw card or e-wallet credentials directly.
No Selling of Personal Data
piso9 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your data is used solely to operate and improve the piso9 platform for your benefit.
Minimal Data Collection
We only collect personal information that is genuinely necessary for account registration, identity verification, regulatory compliance, and the delivery of piso9 services. We do not collect data beyond what is needed.
Breach Notification
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, piso9 will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and affected players within the timeframes required by Philippine law.
Your Consent, Your Control
Where piso9 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you retain the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before withdrawal.
Defined Retention Periods
piso9 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations. Data no longer needed is securely deleted.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. It explains how piso9 ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares your personal information when you access or use the piso9 platform at piso9.org. By registering an account or continuing to use piso9, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
