Contents

    1. Introduction

    phsky link ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who registers, visits, or interacts with phskylink.best and any associated mobile or web applications. This Privacy Policy explains our practices in plain terms so you know exactly where you stand.

    This Policy applies to all users of phsky link who are based in the Philippines. It covers all personal information we collect through your account, your activity on the platform, your communications with our support team, and your use of payment services connected to phsky link.

    By creating an account on phsky link or by continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If anything here is unclear, you're welcome to contact us directly at support@phskylink.best — we'd rather you ask than feel uncertain about how your data is handled.

    Quick version: phsky link collects only what it needs to operate your account and keep it safe. We don't sell your data. We use it to run the platform, process your money, prevent fraud, and occasionally let you know about offers on phsky link that might interest you. You can opt out of marketing communications anytime.

    2. Who We Are and Our Legal Basis

    phsky link is the data controller for all personal information collected through phskylink.best. We operate in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations.

    • Payment processors: GCash (GXchange Inc.), Maya (PayMaya Philippines), GrabPay, Coins.ph, BancNet/InstaPay/PESONet participating banks, and Visa/Mastercard networks receive only the transaction details necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. They operate under their own privacy policies.

    • Regulatory authorities: phsky link may be legally required to share account and transaction data with Philippine government agencies, law enforcement, or gaming regulators when required by a valid legal order, court order, or regulatory direction.
    • Anti-money laundering compliance: Under Philippine AML laws, phsky link reports suspicious transactions to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) as required. This is a legal obligation, not a choice.
    • Technology service providers: Cloud hosting providers, cybersecurity services, and analytics tools that help us operate phsky link may have limited, anonymised, or aggregated access to platform data. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.
    • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of phsky link, player data may be transferred to the successor entity. You will be notified in advance if this occurs, and your rights under this Policy will continue to apply.

    6. Data Security

    phsky link takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement multiple layers of technical and operational controls to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

    Our security measures on phsky link include:

    • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption across all connections to phskylink.best — the same standard used by major banks
    • Encrypted storage for all sensitive data including payment details and ID documents
    • Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all player accounts — we strongly recommend enabling it
    • Access controls that limit which phsky link team members can access personal data, based on job necessity
    • Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity specialists
    • Fraud monitoring systems that flag unusual account activity in real time
    • Secure data centres with physical access controls, redundancy, and 24/7 monitoring

    No system is 100% immune to security incidents. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, phsky link will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, in line with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act.

    Your own behaviour is also part of security. Keep your phsky link login credentials confidential. Don't share your username or password with anyone, and don't access phsky link from shared devices without logging out afterwards. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.

    7. Data Retention

    phsky link retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period afterwards as required by law and legitimate operational needs. Specific retention periods by data type:

    8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

    phsky link uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the site. A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit phskylink.best.

    The types of cookies phsky link uses:

    • Essential cookies: Required for phsky link to function. These keep you logged in, maintain your session, and ensure security checks work correctly. You cannot opt out of these.
    • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options on phsky link. Disabling these may affect your experience.
    • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players navigate phsky link — which pages they visit, where they spend time, and where they encounter issues. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual players.
    • Marketing cookies: Used only if you have opted in to phsky link marketing communications. These help us show you offers that are relevant to your gaming preferences rather than generic messages.

    You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent phsky link from working properly. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help section of your browser.

    9. Your Rights as a Data Subject

    Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by phsky link. These aren't just legal formalities — we actively support you in exercising them.

    To exercise any of these rights, contact phsky link at support@phskylink.best with the subject line "Data Privacy Request" and a description of what you would like. We will respond within 15 business days. Where we cannot fulfill a request — for example, because data retention is legally required — we will explain why.

    10. Children's Privacy

    phsky link is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has created an account on phsky link, please contact us immediately at support@phskylink.best. We will investigate and close the account promptly, and delete any associated personal data.

    Our registration process includes age verification steps designed to prevent underage access. However, if someone provides false date of birth information, we rely on our ongoing KYC process and player reporting to catch this.

    11. Marketing Communications

    phsky link will only send you promotional emails, SMS notifications, or in-app marketing messages about phsky link offers and promotions if you have explicitly opted in. We do not send unsolicited marketing to players who haven't consented.

    If you've opted in and later change your mind, unsubscribing from phsky link marketing is simple:

    • Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any phsky link marketing email
    • Toggle off marketing notifications in your phsky link account settings
    • Email support@phskylink.best with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line

    Unsubscribing from marketing does not affect essential account communications — we will still send you transaction confirmations, security alerts, and account notices on phsky link, as these are necessary for your account.

    12. Responsible Gaming and Data

    phsky link uses your account data — specifically your gaming activity, deposit patterns, and session duration — as part of our responsible gaming monitoring. This is done in your interest, not against it. If patterns in your phsky link account suggest you may be experiencing problem gambling, we may reach out with information about the tools available to you.

    If you set deposit limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion on phsky link, we maintain records of these instructions and enforce them strictly. If you are self-excluded, phsky link will not send you marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion period.

    Full details of the responsible gaming tools available on phsky link are on our Responsible Gaming page.

    13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

    phsky link may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in Philippine law, or improvements to our data practices. When material changes are made, we will notify registered phsky link players via email or in-app notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect.
