At 26joinph, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a foundational part of how we build and operate our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data 26joinph collects, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have as a data subject under Philippine law.
A quick overview of our core privacy commitments. Full details are in the policy sections below.
26joinph only collects personal data that is strictly necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes unrelated to your gaming experience and our legal obligations.
26joinph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your information is used solely to operate the platform, comply with legal requirements, and improve your experience.
All data transmitted between your device and the 26joinph platform is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols. Sensitive data at rest — including payment information and identity documents — is stored using AES-256 encryption.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data. 26joinph provides clear processes for exercising each of these rights.
26joinph retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
