9. Data Retention
ptging retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, as required by PAGCOR and Philippine AML regulations. After this period, we will securely delete or anonymise your data, unless we are required by law to keep it longer.
If you request account deletion, we will close your account and begin the data deletion process. However, transaction records and KYC data may be retained for the legally mandated period before being permanently erased.
10. Data Security
Keeping your data safe is one of our top priorities at ptging. We implement a combination of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and ptging's servers.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) options for your ptging account login.
- Strict internal access controls — only authorised staff can access your personal data, and only on a need-to-know basis.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing of the ptging platform.
- Secure data centres with physical and logical access controls.
While we do everything we can to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee 100% security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your ptging account and to enable two-factor authentication for extra protection.
