Our Full Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025. This policy applies to all users of the phmapalad platform in the Philippines.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

When you register and use phmapalad, we collect personal information that is necessary to operate your account and deliver our services. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history in Philippine pesos (PHP). When you use the platform, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. This information helps us maintain platform security, detect fraud, and improve your overall experience. We only collect data that is relevant and proportionate to the services we provide.

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

Your personal data is used primarily to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, and verify your identity in line with Philippine regulatory requirements. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our platform or policies. Technical and behavioural data helps us improve platform performance, personalise your experience, and identify any unusual activity that may indicate fraud or unauthorised access. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data for internal analytics and product development purposes. We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that significantly affect your rights without human review.

3. Do We Share Your Data With Third Parties?

phmapalad does not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and cloud infrastructure providers — all of whom are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information to regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies in the Philippines if required by applicable law. Any third party that receives your data is permitted to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We review our third-party partners regularly to ensure they maintain appropriate data protection standards.

4. How Do We Keep Your Data Secure?

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to authorised personnel who need it to perform their job functions. We conduct regular security assessments and keep our systems updated to address emerging threats. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affectsyour personal information, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with applicable data protection laws and within the timeframes required by regulation. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phmapalad account and to contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in the Philippines. Transaction records and identity verification documents may be kept for a minimum period as required by applicable financial regulations. When your data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we securely delete or anonymise it. You may request the deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected], subject to any retention obligations we are required to fulfil. We will confirm the outcome of any deletion request within a reasonable timeframe.
