Privacy Policy

At Panalobet PH ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible at panalobetph.ph, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website, and describes your rights under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and related issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access the site.

Applicable Law

This Privacy Policy is written and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, including:

• Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) — the primary law governing the collection, processing, and protection of personal information in the Philippines.
• NPC Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) — issued by the National Privacy Commission to operationalise the Data Privacy Act.
• NPC Circulars — including NPC Circular 16-03 (Personal Data Breach Management) and NPC Circular 16-01 (Security of Personal Data in Government Agencies, applied as best practice).
• Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10175) — where relevant to cyber security incidents.

Where readers access the Site from outside the Philippines, we also take into account general principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar frameworks to ensure broadly compatible protection. Where local law provides a higher standard of protection than this Policy, that local law will apply to the extent required.

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the basic functionality of the website, such as remembering your preferences and enabling navigation.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. We use this data to compile reports and improve the site. These cookies are set by third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics.
• Advertising cookies: May be used by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or set preferences for certain websites. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our website and deliver a better user experience. These services may have access to certain data as described below:

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics collects data through cookies, including information about your IP address (anonymized), browser, operating system, and browsing patterns. This data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

4.2 Google Fonts

Our website uses Google Fonts to display web fonts. When you visit a page that uses Google Fonts, your browser connects to Google's servers to load the font files. This may result in your IP address and browser information being transmitted to Google. For more information, please review the Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.

4.3 Affiliate Networks

Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or complete an action on the third-party site, the affiliate network may place a cookie on your device to track the referral. Each affiliate partner has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. Our website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Typical retention periods:

• Contact form submissions: up to 12 months after the inquiry has been resolved.
• Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe, or 24 months of inactivity, whichever occurs first.
• Server logs containing IP addresses: up to 90 days, then anonymised or deleted.
• Analytics data: retained in anonymised, aggregated form per our analytics provider's default settings (typically 14–26 months in Google Analytics 4).
• Records required by Philippine tax or record-keeping law: retained for the period mandated by that law (commonly 3–10 years for tax records).

Once personal data is no longer needed for its lawful purpose, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with Section 11(e) of the Data Privacy Act.

7. Your Rights as a Data Subject (RA 10173)

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC issuances, you have the following rights regarding your personal information. These rights apply to any data subject whose personal information we process, regardless of citizenship:

• Right to access (Sec. 16(c)) — to reasonable access to your personal data, including its sources, recipients, and the purposes of processing.
• Right to object (Sec. 16(b)) — to object to the processing of your personal data, including for direct marketing.
• Right to correct / rectification (Sec. 16(d)) — to have inaccurate or erroneous data corrected.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@panalobetph.ph.

We may request reasonable identity verification before acting on a request, to protect your data from unauthorised disclosure.

8. Personal Data Breach Notification

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction of personal data. In the event of a qualifying personal data breach as defined under NPC Circular 16-03:

• We will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected data subjects within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required.
• Our notification will describe the nature of the breach, the data involved, the measures taken to address it, and the steps affected individuals can take to protect themselves.
• We will maintain an internal record of all breaches, whether or not they trigger NPC notification.

9. Children's Privacy

This website publishes information about online gambling, which is restricted to persons aged 21 years or older under Philippine law. Accordingly, our site is not directed at, and must not be used by, persons below the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction (21 in the Philippines). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact our DPO at dpo@panalobetph.ph and we will take prompt steps to delete that information.

10. International Data Transfers

Our hosting infrastructure and certain third-party service providers (such as Google Analytics, Google Fonts, and affiliate tracking networks) operate servers located outside the Philippines, including in the United States, the European Union, and the Asia-Pacific region. By using our website, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside the Philippines, which may have different data protection standards.

Where such transfers occur, we take reasonable steps — including relying on the processor's public commitments to standards equivalent to the Data Privacy Act and EU GDPR — to ensure your data is treated securely and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. You may contact our DPO at dpo@panalobetph.ph to request further information about specific cross-border transfers relating to your personal data.

11. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site.
