This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is protected, and what rights you have as a data subject under Philippine law. We take your privacy as seriously as we take your security.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out how hoy646 ("hoy646," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of individuals ("you," "Player," or "Data Subject") who access or use the hoy646 online gaming platform at hoy646.app and all associated services (collectively, the "Platform").
hoy646 is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 ("DPA"), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the issuances of the National Privacy Commission ("NPC"), and all other applicable Philippine data protection laws and regulations.
As a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming operator, hoy646 is also subject to the data handling and record-keeping obligations prescribed by PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC). These regulatory obligations inform certain aspects of how we collect, retain, and disclose your information.
Your Privacy Matters: hoy646 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers. Your information is used for the specific purposes described in this Policy and is protected under Philippine data privacy law.
2. Who We Are — Data Controller
For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, hoy646 is the Personal Information Controller in respect of the personal data collected through the Platform. This means hoy646 determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.
hoy646 operates as a Philippines-based online casino and sports betting platform under PAGCOR oversight, serving Filipino players across Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and throughout the Philippine archipelago. All data processing activities are conducted in compliance with the DPA and applicable PAGCOR licensing conditions.
Where hoy646 engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf (for example, payment processors or game software providers), those parties act as Personal Information Processors under written data processing agreements that obligate them to handle your data in accordance with this Policy and Philippine law.

7.2 Managing Cookies

Where data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, hoy646 will securely delete or anonymize it using industry-standard data destruction methods. Anonymized data — from which no individual can be identified — may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis.
9. Data Security
hoy646 implements technical, organizational, and physical security measures appropriate to the nature of the personal data processed. These include:
- TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit between your device and hoy646 servers.
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, including KYC documents and financial records.
- Password hashing using one-way cryptographic algorithms — your actual password is never stored in plaintext and cannot be retrieved by hoy646 staff.
- Access controls restricting data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, with audit logging of all access events.
- Multi-factor authentication for hoy646 staff accessing systems containing personal data.
- Intrusion detection systems and regular security assessments by independent third parties.
- Secure data centers with physical access controls and environmental protections.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, hoy646 will notify the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected data subjects without undue delay where required by the DPA.
Security Tip: You play an important role in keeping your hoy646 account secure. Use a strong, unique password, enable SMS verification for logins, never share your credentials with anyone, and log out of shared devices after every session.
10. Your Rights as a Data Subject

11. Children and Minors
The hoy646 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older. hoy646 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If hoy646 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, it will immediately delete that data, terminate the associated account, and forfeit any associated balances.
hoy646 implements age verification controls during registration and during KYC processing. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has registered on hoy646 using false information, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 14. hoy646 takes underage gambling prevention extremely seriously and will act on any such report without delay.
12. International Data Transfers
hoy646's primary data processing operations are based in the Philippines. However, certain service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers, game software platforms, and KYC verification services — may process data in data centers located outside the Philippines.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, hoy646 ensures that adequate safeguards are in place in accordance with Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act and relevant NPC issuances. These safeguards may include: standard contractual clauses in data processing agreements; adequacy findings by the NPC or equivalent; or binding corporate rules applicable to the receiving entity.
hoy646 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without first implementing appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
13. Amendments to This Policy
hoy646 reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, Platform functionality, or data processing practices. Where amendments are material — affecting your rights as a data subject or the categories of data we collect — we will notify you via the email address registered in your hoy646 account at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
For non-material changes (such as clarifications of existing language or corrections of typographical errors), we may update the Policy without advance notice, but will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how hoy646 protects your personal data.
