When you register on merryph, we collect the personal information needed to create and manage your account, verify your identity, and process your transactions securely. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and the payment details associated with your GCash or Maya account. We also collect technical data such as your device type, browser, IP address, and session activity to help us maintain platform security and improve your experience. All data collection is limited to what is strictly necessary for the operation of the platform and compliance with applicable Philippine regulations. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for age verification and identity checks. If you contact our support team, we may retain records of that communication to help resolve your query and improve our service quality. You can request a summary of the data we hold about you at any time by writing to support at merryph.id.

How We Use Your Information

The personal data we collect is used exclusively to operate the merryph platform, fulfil our obligations to you as a registered player, and comply with the requirements of Philippine law. Your information allows us to process deposits and withdrawals, verify that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years, and send you important account notifications such as transaction confirmations and security alerts. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform usage trends and improve the overall experience for Filipino players — this analysis never identifies you personally. merryph does not use your data for unsolicited marketing communications, and we will only contact you about your account or platform updates that are directly relevant to your use of the service. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own commercial purposes under any circumstances. Where we engage trusted service providers to assist with payment processing or identity verification, those providers are contractually bound to handle your data only as instructed by merryph and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

Common Privacy Questions

Quick answers to what Filipino players most often ask about how merryph handles personal data.

No. merryph does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own commercial purposes. Your information is used solely to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with Philippine regulatory requirements. Where we work with trusted service providers — such as payment processors — those partners are contractually required to handle your data only as directed by merryph and in line with applicable data protection law. If you have concerns about how your data is being used, please contact us at support at merryph.id and we will address your query promptly.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations under Philippine law. Transaction records and identity verification documents may be kept for a minimum period as required by applicable financial regulations. Once the retention period has passed and there is no legal basis to keep your data, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
