How We Share Your Information
Let us be crystal clear: 979ph does not sell your personal information to anyone, ever. We only share your data in the following limited situations:
- Service providers: Trusted partners who help us operate — payment processors like GCash/Maya integrations, cloud hosting providers, KYC verification services, and fraud detection tools. They are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only to perform services for 979ph.
- Regulatory bodies: When required by law, court order, or by the NPC, PAGCOR, or other Philippine government agencies. We comply with all lawful orders while respecting your rights.
- Business transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving 979ph, your data may be transferred. We will notify you beforehand and give you the option to close your account if you prefer.
- With your explicit consent: For any other sharing not listed here, we will ask for your permission first.
How Long We Keep Your Data
979ph retains your personal data for as long as:
- Your account remains active
- Required by Philippine law (e.g., financial records typically kept for 5–10 years under BSP rules and anti-money laundering regulations)
- Necessary to resolve disputes or enforce our Terms and Conditions
Once your account is closed and the mandatory retention period has passed, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer identify you.

- Bcrypt hashing for all account passwords — we never store plain-text passwords
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) available for all 979ph accounts
- Regular penetration testing by independent security firms
- Strict internal access controls — only authorised 979ph personnel with a legitimate need can access personal data
- 24/7 security monitoring and incident response protocols
Despite our best efforts, no system is 100% immune from risk. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, 979ph will notify you and the NPC within 72 hours, as required by law.
