pub477 is committed to protecting the personal data of every Filipino player on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
pub477 collects only the personal data that is necessary for account registration, identity verification (KYC), payment processing, and the provision of gaming services. We do not collect data for its own sake — every data point we hold has a documented purpose directly linked to your experience on the Platform.
All personal data transmitted between your device and pub477's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Data at rest is stored on access-controlled, encrypted servers. pub477 conducts regular security audits and access reviews to ensure that your personal data is protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to be informed, to access your data, to correct inaccuracies, to object to processing, to erasure under qualifying conditions, to data portability, and to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC). pub477 respects and facilitates all of these rights.
pub477 does not sell your personal data to third parties. Data is shared with carefully vetted third parties only where necessary — such as licensed payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO) for transaction processing, KYC verification providers, and game software providers — all of whom are bound by strict data processing agreements.
pub477 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected — account maintenance, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution — or as required by applicable Philippine law. KYC and financial records are retained for a minimum of five years as required by anti-money-laundering regulations.
pub477 will notify you of any material changes to this Privacy Policy via your registered email address or via a prominent notice on the Platform. In the event of a personal data breach affecting your information, pub477 will notify affected Members and the National Privacy Commission in accordance with NPC Circular No. 16-03 and applicable breach notification obligations.
