How We Handle Your Personal Data

1. Information We Collect

When you register and use merryph link, we collect personal information necessary to operate your account and deliver our services. This includes your full name, dateof birth, email address, mobile number, and a government-issued ID for identity verification as required under Philippine regulations. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history in Philippine pesos (PHP) to process deposits and withdrawals accurately. When you browse or play on the platform, we automatically gather technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs to maintain platform security and improve your experience. If you contact our support team, we retain records of that communication to help resolve your concerns efficiently.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your personal data is used primarily to create and manage your merryph link account, verify your identity, and process financial transactions in compliance with Philippine law. We use your contact details to send important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our platform policies — we do not send unsolicited promotional messages without your consent. Technical and behavioural data helps us detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure that our casino, live casino, sports, and betting services run smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices. We may use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform performance and improve the overall user experience for Filipino players. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes under any circumstances.

3. Sharing of Personal Data

merryph link may share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and technical infrastructure partners — all of whom are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or government bodies in the Philippines when required by law or when necessary to protect the rights and safety of our users and the platform. In the event of a business restructuring or transfer of ownership, your data may be transferred as part of that process, and you will be notified in advance. We do not share your data with advertising networks or data brokers. Any third party that receives your data is required to handle it in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection standards, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

4. Data Retention and Storage

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by Philippine law, anti-money laundering regulations, and our internal compliance obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically kept for a minimum of five years following account closure to satisfy regulatory requirements. Data that is no longer needed for any legal or operational purpose is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data lifecycle policy. Your data is stored on secure servers with access restricted to authorised personnel only, and we apply industry-standard encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest. If you wish to request deletion of your account and associated data, you may do so subject to any outstanding legal retention obligations.

You have the right to object to the processing of your data in certain circumstances, and to request that we restrict or erase your data where there is no overriding legal basis for continued processing.
