7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

vvipph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, maintain your session security, and analyse how players use our services. The following categories of cookies are used:

• Strictly necessary cookies — essential for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens and security cookies. They cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Functional cookies — used to remember your preferences, such as language settings and responsible gaming tool configurations.
• Analytics cookies — used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate and use the vvipph platform, helping us identify areas for improvement.
• Marketing cookies — used, with your consent, to deliver relevant promotional content about vvipph games and offers. You may opt out of marketing cookies at any time through your account settings.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair your ability to use the vvipph platform. For analytics and marketing cookies, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting your access to core services.

8. Data Retention

vvipph retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The following general retention periods apply:

• Right to be informed — you have the right to know what personal data vvipph collects about you and how it is processed.
• Right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data vvipph holds about you at any time.
• Right to rectification — you may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your vvipph account.

• Right to object — you may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests, subject to vvipph's overriding legal obligations.
• Right to data portability — you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

11. Children's Privacy and Age Restriction

The vvipph platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine law governing casino-style gambling. vvipph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

All new accounts are subject to mandatory age verification before real-money gaming or withdrawals are permitted. Where vvipph discovers that an account has been registered by a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately closed, all balances forfeited, and any personal data collected will be securely deleted in accordance with our data disposal procedures, except where retention is required by law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on vvipph, please contact our support team immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

vvipph reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page.

Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we collect, use, or share your personal data — vvipph will provide advance notice to registered players via the mobile number or email address on file, or by posting a prominent notice on the platform, at least fifteen (15) days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the vvipph platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Policy. If you do not agree to the amended Policy, you may request account closure in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

13. Contact and Data Protection Officer

vvipph has appointed a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") responsible for overseeing compliance with the DPA and this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to your personal data or this Policy, please contact our DPO through the vvipph customer support live chat available on the platform, or by email — our contact address is displayed in the footer of this page.

For complaints that cannot be resolved directly with vvipph, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
