1 Introduction
niceph 25 operates the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at niceph25.asia. As the operator of this platform, we act as the Data Controller responsible for the personal information of all registered members and visitors to our site.
This Privacy Policy explains how niceph 25 collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal data. It also sets out your rights as a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission.

This policy applies to all niceph 25 members and visitors, regardless of how you access the platform — desktop browser, mobile browser, or any other means. It applies to data collected on and off the platform where niceph 25 is involved in the processing.

4 Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, niceph 25 must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. The following bases apply to the processing activities described in this policy:
- Contract performance: Processing your registration data, handling deposits and withdrawals, and providing gaming services are all necessary to fulfil our agreement with you as a registered niceph 25 member.
- Legal obligation: Identity verification, transaction record-keeping, and cooperation with regulatory or law enforcement authorities are required by Philippine law.
- Legitimate interests: Fraud detection, platform security monitoring, and aggregated analytics are carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping the platform safe and functional.
- Consent: Sending marketing communications and setting non-essential cookies are carried out only on the basis of your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
niceph 25 uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work and to help us understand how it is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the site.
5.1 Essential Cookies
These are required for the platform to function. They manage your login session, keep your bet slip active, and ensure secure transactions. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without disabling the site entirely.
5.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how members navigate the niceph 25 platform — which pages are visited most, where players spend the most time, and where technical issues occur. This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings or the cookie preference centre on the platform.
5.3 Marketing Cookies
If you have given consent, marketing cookies allow niceph 25 to show you relevant promotions and content based on your activity on the platform. You can withdraw this consent at any time by updating your cookie preferences or contacting our support team.
Most modern browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences directly through browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the niceph 25 platform.
6 Sharing Your Data with Third Parties
niceph 25 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share data only in the specific circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for each purpose.
6.1 Payment Processors
When you deposit or withdraw funds, your payment details are shared with the relevant payment provider — GCash, Maya, your bank, or card network — to process the transaction. niceph 25 shares only the minimum information required and does not store full card numbers on its own servers.
6.2 Identity Verification Services
When KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required, your ID documents and personal details may be shared with a third-party verification service provider. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only for the purpose of verification and to maintain appropriate security standards.
6.3 Technology and Infrastructure Providers
niceph 25 uses third-party service providers for cloud hosting, cybersecurity, customer support software, and gaming software. These providers access data only as needed to provide their services and are bound by data processing agreements that limit how they can use the information.
6.4 Regulatory and Legal Requirements
niceph 25 may be required by Philippine law, court order, or regulatory authority to disclose certain personal data. In these cases, we will disclose only what is legally required and, where permitted, will notify the affected member.
6.5 Business Transfers
If niceph 25 undergoes a business restructuring, acquisition, or merger, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity. In such an event, you will be notified and the new entity will be required to honor the commitments made in this Privacy Policy.
7 Data Security
niceph 25 takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements technical and organisational measures proportionate to the risks involved. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data fields including passwords (hashed and salted) and payment credentials (tokenised).
- Access controls that limit which niceph 25 staff members can view personal data, based on the principle of least privilege.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent security professionals.
- Intrusion detection systems that monitor for unusual activity and trigger alerts in real time.
- Two-factor authentication available to all members for additional account security.
Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. If niceph 25 becomes aware of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected members and the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours as required by law.
You also have a role in keeping your account secure. Use a strong, unique password for your niceph 25 account and never share your login credentials with anyone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact support immediately.
8 Data Retention
niceph 25 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The following retention guidelines apply:
- Active accounts: Personal and account data is retained for the duration of your active membership.
- Closed accounts: Following account closure, most personal data is retained for a minimum of five years to comply with anti-money laundering and financial regulatory requirements under Philippine law.
- Transaction records: Financial transaction records are retained for at least five years from the date of the transaction.
- Customer support records: Support communications are retained for two years after the last interaction, unless a longer period is required for an ongoing dispute or investigation.
- Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymised usage data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to any individual.
- Marketing consent records: Records of your marketing preferences are retained for as long as you are a member plus a reasonable period thereafter as evidence of your consent decisions.
When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is either securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual.
