  • Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming patterns and identify players who may be exhibiting signs of problem gambling, enabling CrownPH to apply responsible gaming interventions in line with PAGCOR guidelines.
  • Fraud Prevention and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, account takeovers, money laundering, and other illegal activity on the CrownPH platform.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (R.A. 10173), CrownPH processes personal data on the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing required to fulfil our obligations to you under the CrownPH Terms and Conditions, including account creation, game access, and payment processing.
  • Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Philippine law, including PAGCOR licensing conditions, AMLC regulations, and National Privacy Commission requirements.
  • Legitimate Interest: Processing necessary for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and analytics that improve the CrownPH service, where those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
  • Consent: Processing for marketing communications and certain optional features, where your explicit consent has been obtained. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

If you withdraw consent for processing that is necessary to operate your CrownPH account (such as identity verification), we may be unable to continue providing you with platform services. We will advise you of this outcome before processing any withdrawal-of-consent request.

5. How and When CrownPH Shares Your Data

CrownPH does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment Service Providers: Your financial data is shared with GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, and partner banks only to the extent necessary to process your transactions. These providers operate under their own privacy frameworks and are contractually bound to protect your data.
  • Game Providers: Your account identifier and session data may be shared with our gaming technology providers (including JILI and other licensed game suppliers) solely for the purpose of delivering the games you play on CrownPH.
  • Regulatory Authorities: CrownPH discloses personal and transaction data to PAGCOR, the AMLC, the National Privacy Commission, and other Philippine government authorities where legally required or where we receive a valid legal order to do so.
  • KYC and Identity Verification Services: Your identity documents are processed by contracted KYC service providers who are bound by confidentiality agreements and data processing agreements with CrownPH.
  • Professional Advisers: CrownPH may share information with lawyers, accountants, or auditors on a strictly confidential basis where necessary for legitimate business purposes.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving CrownPH, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.

All third parties with whom CrownPH shares personal data are required to maintain appropriate security measures and to process your data only for the specific purposes for which it was shared. CrownPH remains responsible for ensuring these obligations are met.

6. How Long CrownPH Retains Your Data

CrownPH retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any regulatory retention obligations. The following retention periods apply:

  • Account and KYC Data: Retained for the duration of your CrownPH account plus 5 years after account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR recordkeeping requirements and AMLC obligations under R.A. 9160.
  • Transaction Records: Retained for 5 years following the date of each transaction in compliance with Philippine financial regulation.
  • Gaming Activity Logs: Retained for 2 years from the date of each session for responsible gaming monitoring and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Customer Support Communications: Retained for 2 years after the date of the final message in a support interaction.
  • Marketing Consent Records: Retained for the duration of your consent plus 1 year following withdrawal, as evidence of the consent given.

When retention periods expire, CrownPH securely deletes or anonymises the relevant personal data so that it can no longer be associated with your identity. Anonymised, aggregated data may be retained for analytics purposes indefinitely.

7. Data Security Measures

CrownPH implements comprehensive technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

  • Encryption: All data in transit between your device and CrownPH servers is protected by 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption. Sensitive data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
  • Access Controls: Personal data access within CrownPH is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions. Role-based access controls limit data exposure to the minimum necessary.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: CrownPH uses two-factor authentication for all staff access to systems containing personal data. Players are encouraged to enable 2FA on their CrownPH accounts.
  • Regular Security Audits: CrownPH undergoes periodic security assessments and penetration testing conducted by independent security firms.
  • Data Breach Response: CrownPH has a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours and affected players within a reasonable timeframe as required by R.A. 10173.

While CrownPH employs industry-standard security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in keeping your account secure by choosing a strong, unique password and never sharing your CrownPH login credentials with anyone.

CrownPH uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on crownph.best to ensure the platform functions correctly and to improve your experience. Here is how we use them:

9. Your Data Rights Under Philippine Law

Right to Rectification

Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your CrownPH account at any time.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.

Right to Object

Object to processing of your data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on legitimate interest. We will stop unless we have compelling grounds.

Right to Data Portability

Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly-used electronic format and transfer it to another data controller where technically feasible.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Withdraw your consent to marketing communications or optional processing at any time via your CrownPH account settings or by email.

CrownPH will respond to all data rights requests within 15 business days of receipt. Where additional time is required due to complexity, we will notify you within the initial 15-day period and explain the reason for any delay. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

10. Children's Privacy

CrownPH is strictly an adults-only platform. The minimum age to register and use CrownPH is 18 years old, in line with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law governing online gaming.

CrownPH does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on or accessed CrownPH, please contact us immediately at support@crownph.best. We will promptly investigate and, where confirmed, immediately close the account and delete all associated personal data.

CrownPH applies age verification controls at registration and may require documentary evidence of age as part of the KYC process. Any account where the account holder is found to be under 18 will be permanently suspended and all funds returned to the originating payment method.

11. International Data Transfers

CrownPH primarily stores and processes personal data within the Philippines. However, certain third-party service providers (such as gaming technology suppliers and cloud infrastructure providers) may process data outside the Philippines.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, CrownPH ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards include contractual data processing agreements that require the recipient to provide a standard of data protection at least equivalent to that required by the Philippine Data Privacy Act (R.A. 10173). CrownPH does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions without adequate data protection frameworks without implementing such contractual safeguards.

12. Third-Party Links

The CrownPH platform does not contain links to third-party websites. All navigational links on crownph.best point to pages within the CrownPH domain. CrownPH is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party payment providers or game suppliers whose interfaces you may encounter while using the platform.

If you access CrownPH via an affiliate link from a third-party website, CrownPH receives notification that you arrived from that referring source, but does not receive any personal data about your activity on the referring site. The referring site's privacy policy governs your interaction with that site.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

CrownPH may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised whenever material changes are made.

For significant changes to how we use your personal data, CrownPH will notify registered players by email to the address on file, or through a prominent notice on the CrownPH platform, at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of crownph.best after the effective date of any updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

If you do not accept a material change to this Privacy Policy, you may close your CrownPH account by submitting a closure request to support@crownph.best before the changes take effect. Account closure requests are processed within 2 business days.

14. Contact Us and Data Protection Officer

CrownPH has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in compliance with the requirements of R.A. 10173 and the National Privacy Commission. The DPO is responsible for overseeing CrownPH's data protection programme and handling enquiries and complaints related to personal data processing.
