1. Introduction and Scope
pg33 ("we," "us," "our," or the "Platform") operates the online gaming and sports betting service available at pg33.cam (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how pg33 collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects the personal information of individuals who access or use our Service ("Users," "you," or "your").
This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as well as the applicable regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC). pg33 is the personal information controller with respect to all personal data processed in connection with the Service.
By registering for a pg33 account, accessing the Service, or otherwise interacting with our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal information as described herein. If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately.
This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the pg33 website at pg33.cam, our mobile-compatible web application, live chat and email support channels, and any other service operated by pg33. It does not apply to third-party websites, payment processors, or other services that may be linked from or integrated with our platform — those parties operate under their own privacy policies, for which pg33 is not responsible.
Plain-Language Summary: We collect personal information to operate your pg33 account, process payments, comply with PAGCOR regulations, and keep the platform secure. We do not sell your data to third-party advertisers. All processing is governed by Philippine data privacy law.

Your data stays in the Philippines: pg33 stores and processes user data primarily on servers located within the Republic of the Philippines. Any cross-border transfer of personal data is undertaken only where legally permitted and with appropriate safeguards in place as required by the National Privacy Commission.

11. Minors and Age Restriction
The pg33 Service is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older, in compliance with PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming in the Philippines. pg33 does not knowingly collect or process personal data of individuals under 21 years of age.
If pg33 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 — whether through registration, account access, or any other means — we will take immediate steps to: close the relevant account; delete all associated personal data collected in connection with that account; and void any transactions, bets, or winnings associated with the underage account, with forfeiture of deposited funds where legally permissible.
Parents or guardians who believe their child may have created a pg33 account are urged to contact our customer support team immediately so that the account can be identified and closed without delay.
