Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

niceph21 ("we," "us," or "our") operates the online gaming platform accessible at niceph21.net (the "Platform"). We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every individual who visits, registers on, or interacts with our Platform. This Privacy Policy describes how niceph21 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal information, and explains the rights available to you under applicable Philippine law.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the niceph21 Platform, including registered players, visitors who browse without registering, and any individual who contacts our customer support team. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.

This policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the niceph21 Platform as a whole.

2. Personal Data We Collect

niceph21 collects personal data in the following categories, depending on how you interact with our Platform:

• Registration Data: When you create a niceph21 account, we collect your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, residential address, and chosen username and password.
• Identity Verification (KYC) Data: To comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and verify your age and identity, we may collect copies of government-issued identification documents (such as a Philippine passport, driver's license, or SSS/UMID card), proof of address, and proof of payment method ownership.
• Financial Data: We collect information about your deposits, withdrawals, and transaction history on the Platform. We also collect details of the payment methods you use, such as GCash account references, PayMaya details, or bank account information for BPI, BDO, or Metrobank transactions. Full payment credentials are processed by our payment partners and are not stored directly by niceph21.
• Gaming Activity Data: We collect records of your gaming sessions, wagers placed, games played, bonuses claimed, and win/loss history on the niceph21 Platform.
• Technical Data: We automatically collect certain technical information when you access the Platform, including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, and session timestamps.
• Communications Data: If you contact our customer support team via email, live chat, or any other channel, we retain records of those communications for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Responsible Gaming Data: If you use our responsible gaming tools — such as deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, or cooling-off periods — we record and maintain those preferences to ensure they are properly enforced.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

• Consent: For certain processing activities — such as sending you marketing communications — we rely on your freely given, specific, and informed consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

niceph21 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients only to the extent necessary and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

• IT & Infrastructure Providers: We work with trusted technology partners who provide hosting, data storage, and platform infrastructure services. These partners are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable privacy law.
• Professional Advisers: We may share data with our legal, financial, or compliance advisers where necessary for the conduct of our business.

6. Data Retention

niceph21 retains your personal data for as long as your player account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and regulation. Specifically:

• Customer support communications are retained for a period of two (2) years from the date of the communication, unless a longer retention period is required for dispute resolution or legal proceedings.
• Technical and usage data may be retained in anonymized or aggregated form for analytical purposes beyond the standard retention periods.

When personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal obligation requires its continued retention, niceph21 will securely delete or anonymize that data.
