6. How We Protect Your Data
Protecting your personal information is a top priority at 888 PHP. We implement industry-standard and often industry-leading security measures to keep your data safe from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
- SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or app and the 888 PHP servers is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
- Secure Payment Gateways: Your financial transactions through GCash, Maya, and other local payment channels are processed through PCI-DSS compliant gateways.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We encourage all users to enable 2FA for an extra layer of account security.
- Internal Access Controls: Only authorised personnel with a legitimate need can access personal data, and all access is logged and monitored.
- Regular Security Audits: Our systems and processes undergo regular third-party security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
- Data Minimisation: We only collect the personal information we actually need — nothing more.
Despite our best efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, please contact our support team immediately at support@888php.run.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
888 PHP does not hold onto your personal information longer than necessary. Our retention periods are guided by legal requirements, business needs, and best practices for user privacy.

- Support communications: Stored for up to three (3) years to help us resolve any recurring issues or disputes.
- Marketing preferences: Deleted promptly if you withdraw consent or unsubscribe from communications.
When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it so it can no longer be linked back to you.
