291ph Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Personal Data

1. Overview

At 291ph, we take your privacy seriously — and not just because we're required to. We believe that every Filipino player who trusts us with their personal information deserves to know exactly how that information is handled. This Privacy Policy covers all data collected through the 291ph website at 291ph.best and any related mobile or web applications.

This policy is written in plain language because we want you to actually understand it. If something isn't clear, you're welcome to reach out to our team anytime. By registering a 291ph account or using our platform in any way, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. All three documents work together to define your relationship with 291ph.

• Game providers: Live casino and game software providers may receive anonymous session data to deliver games on our platform. They do not receive your personally identifiable information.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

291ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our website and improve your experience. Here's what you need to know:

• Analytics cookies: We use anonymized analytics data to understand how players navigate 291ph, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues occur. This helps us improve the platform for everyone.
• Performance cookies: These help us optimize load times and game performance, particularly on mobile data connections common in the Philippines.
• Marketing cookies: With your consent, we may use cookies to deliver relevant promotions and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. You can opt out of these in your browser settings or account preferences.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of 291ph.

291ph retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by Philippine law. Our general retention schedule is as follows:

• Transaction records: Kept for a minimum of 5 years following each transaction, as required by Philippine financial regulations.
• KYC documents: Retained for the duration of your account and 5 years following closure.
• Support communications: Kept for 2 years after the last interaction, or longer if related to an unresolved dispute.
• Marketing data: Retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion, after which it is removed from our active marketing lists within 30 days.

When your data is no longer required, 291ph will securely delete or anonymize it so it can no longer be linked back to you.
