vipph4 Privacy Policy
At vipph4, we understand that your personal information is something you trust us with — and we take that seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect from Filipino players, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over your own information. We comply with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations.
Our Privacy Principles
How vipph4 Approaches Your Data
Before reading the full policy, here are the six core principles that guide everything vipph4 does with your personal data. These are not just legal obligations — they reflect our genuine commitment to the privacy of Filipino players.
Transparency
vipph4 is clear and honest about what data we collect and why we collect it. We never use your data for undisclosed purposes. Everything is explained in plain language in this policy — no hidden fine print designed to confuse.
Purpose Limitation
Your personal data is collected only for specific, legitimate purposes — operating your account, processing payments, complying with regulations, and improving the vipph4 experience. It is not repurposed or sold beyond those stated purposes.
Data Minimisation
vipph4 collects only the data that is necessary for the stated purpose. We do not collect excessive information. If a piece of data is not needed to provide our service or meet a legal requirement, we do not ask for it.
Accuracy
We keep the personal data we hold accurate and up to date. Players are encouraged to update their registered information through their vipph4 account settings or by contacting our support team whenever their details change.
Security
vipph4 employs industry-standard technical and organisational security measures — including SSL encryption, access controls, and regular security audits — to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, and loss.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data. You can also object to certain processing activities. vipph4 provides clear channels to exercise these rights, as explained in Section 9 of this policy.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how vipph4 ("vipph4," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you," "your," or "Player") who access or use the vipph4 online casino and sports betting platform available at vipph4.cam (the "Platform").
vipph4 is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all Filipino players and other individuals whose personal data we process. This Policy is designed to comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
By registering an account with vipph4, using the Platform, or otherwise providing us with your personal data, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Policy should be read in conjunction with the vipph4 Terms and Conditions.
Data Controller Identity
For the purposes of applicable Philippine data protection laws, vipph4 acts as the personal information controller in respect of the personal data collected through the Platform. As the personal information controller, vipph4 determines the purposes and means of processing the personal data described in this Policy.
All data processing activities conducted by vipph4 are carried out in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and applicable guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission. vipph4 has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with data protection obligations. Inquiries directed to the DPO may be submitted via the contact information in Section 15 of this Policy.
Personal Data We Collect
vipph4 collects personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. The categories of personal data we may collect include:
3.1 Account Registration Data
When you register a vipph4 account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and Philippine mobile number. This information is required to create and maintain your account.
3.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data
To comply with PAGCOR-applicable regulations and anti-money laundering requirements, vipph4 may collect copies of government-issued identification documents (e.g., Philippine Passport, UMID, Driver's License), proof of address documents, and payment method verification documents. This data is processed solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and the lawfulness of your account activity.
3.3 Financial Transaction Data
We collect records of all deposits and withdrawals, including the payment method used (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, 7-Eleven CLiQQ), transaction amounts in Philippine Peso (₱), timestamps, and transaction reference numbers.
3.4 Gaming Activity Data
vipph4 records your gaming history, including games played, bet amounts, outcomes, session durations, and bonus usage. This data is used to provide the gaming service, resolve disputes, detect fraud, and comply with regulatory reporting obligations.
3.5 Technical & Device Data
When you access the Platform, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, unique device identifiers, and referral URLs. We also record session start and end times and pages visited.
3.6 Communications Data
We retain records of your communications with the vipph4 support team, including live chat transcripts, emails, and Messenger or Viber message logs, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
3.7 Responsible Gaming Data
If you use vipph4's responsible gaming tools — such as deposit limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion — we retain records of your preferences and any self-exclusion periods to ensure those settings are honoured and to prevent their circumvention.

- From payment processors — when you make a deposit or withdrawal, your payment service provider (e.g., GCash, PayMaya, your bank) may share transaction confirmation data with vipph4; and

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If vipph4 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete all associated personal data, and refund any Real Money Funds to the source payment method subject to applicable anti-money laundering verification requirements.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered a vipph4 account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt corrective action.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
In the course of operating the vipph4 Platform and providing services to Filipino players, your personal data may be processed by, or transferred to, service providers and partners located in jurisdictions outside the Philippines. These may include cloud infrastructure providers, KYC verification services, and game technology providers.
vipph4 ensures that any cross-border transfer of personal data is conducted in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the guidelines of the National Privacy Commission. Specifically, vipph4 takes the following measures to protect data transferred internationally:
- Executing data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses with all third-party processors that receive personal data;
- Assessing the adequacy of data protection in the recipient jurisdiction prior to any transfer; and
- Implementing supplementary technical measures (such as encryption) where necessary to address any gaps in the protection afforded by the recipient jurisdiction's laws.
