1. Introduction

pub 555 ("we," "us," "our," "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of every player and visitor who interacts with the pub 555 website at pub555.asia and all associated services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy has been prepared in accordance with the Republic of the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

This Policy explains what personal information pub 555 collects, why we collect it, how we use and store it, with whom we share it, and what rights you hold over your own data as a Filipino data subject.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside pub 555's Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, which together govern your use of the pub 555 platform.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, pub 555 is the Personal Information Controller in respect of the personal data you provide when registering and using the pub 555 platform. pub 555 is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal information and for implementing appropriate privacy and security measures to protect it.

All data processing by pub 555 is conducted in accordance with the general data privacy principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality as set out in Section 11 of RA 10173. We process only the personal data that is adequate, relevant, suitable, necessary, and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which it was collected.

pub 555 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own commercial purposes. pub 555 shares personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

• Service Providers (Personal Information Processors): pub 555 engages trusted third-party service providers who process personal data on pub 555's behalf, including payment processors (GCash/Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank), KYC and identity verification providers, game studio operators, cloud hosting providers, and customer support technology providers.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of pub 555's service providers — including certain game studio operators and cloud infrastructure providers — may be located outside the Republic of the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, pub 555 ensures that adequate safeguards are in place as required by RA 10173 and NPC regulations. Such safeguards may include contractual data transfer agreements that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those under Philippine law, or reliance on the recipient country's recognized adequacy status. pub 555 will not transfer your personal data internationally without a valid legal basis and appropriate protective measures.

pub 555 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, plus any additional period required by applicable law or regulation.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with pub 555's data disposal procedures.
