6. Data Retention
PHDream88 retains your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. Here's our general approach:
- Active account data: Retained for the lifetime of your PHDream88 account plus five (5) years after closure, in compliance with Philippine financial regulations.
- Transaction records: Retained for ten (10) years as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
- KYC documents: Retained for five (5) years after account closure or the completion of the last transaction, whichever is later.
- Support communications: Retained for three (3) years for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
- Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw your consent or close your account.
Once the applicable retention period expires, PHDream88 securely deletes or anonymises your personal data so it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual.
7. Security Measures
PHDream88 implements multiple layers of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser/app and PHDream88 servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 protocol.
- Encryption at rest: Stored personal data and financial records are protected using AES-256 encryption.
- Access controls: PHDream88 staff access to personal data is strictly role-based and limited to those with a genuine operational need.
- Two-factor authentication: Available and recommended for all PHDream88 accounts to add an extra layer of login security.
- Regular security audits: Our platform undergoes periodic security assessments and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity professionals.
- Incident response: In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, PHDream88 will notify affected users and the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of discovery.
Your Role in Security: PHDream88 will never ask for your full password, ATM PIN, or OTP via chat or email. Never share these with anyone — including anyone claiming to be PHDream88 staff. If you receive a suspicious message, report it to support@phdream88.best immediately.
