2.1 Data you provide voluntarily
Most of the personal data pd dream holds is data you provide directly — when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit, or contact support. Providing this data is a condition of using the platform. Without it, pd dream cannot create an account, verify your identity, or process transactions.
2.2 Data collected automatically
When you access pd dream, certain technical data is collected automatically through cookies and server logs. This includes your IP address, the device and browser you are using, and information about how you navigate the platform. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and improving platform performance. See Section 7 for more on cookies.
3 How pd dream Uses Your Personal Data
pd dream uses personal data for specific, defined purposes. The following table summarises how each category of data is used and why.
3.1 Account management and service delivery
Registration data, identity documents, and financial data are used to create and manage your pd dream account, verify your identity as required by Philippine gaming regulations, process deposits and withdrawals through your chosen payment method, settle bets and credit winnings, and provide customer support. Without processing this data, pd dream cannot provide its services.
3.2 Legal and regulatory compliance
pd dream is required by Philippine law to verify the identity of players, maintain transaction records, detect and prevent money laundering and fraud, and comply with reporting obligations imposed by relevant regulatory authorities. Some personal data is processed and retained specifically to meet these obligations rather than for any commercial purpose.
3.3 Security and fraud prevention
Device data, IP addresses, and betting activity patterns are analysed to detect suspicious account behaviour, prevent unauthorised access, identify potential bonus abuse, and protect the platform against fraud. This processing protects both pd dream and other players using the platform.
3.4 Platform improvement
Aggregated and anonymised usage data — data from which individual players cannot be identified — is used to understand how pd dream is used, identify areas for improvement, and develop new features. Individual player data is not used for this purpose in a way that profiles specific players.
3.5 Responsible gaming monitoring
pd dream uses betting activity data to support responsible gaming obligations. Where patterns consistent with problem gambling are detected — such as rapid increases in deposit frequency or stake amounts — pd dream may trigger responsible gaming tools or contact the player with information about available support. This processing is in the player's interest and is conducted carefully and with appropriate confidentiality.
3.6 Communications
pd dream uses contact details to send account-related communications — transaction confirmations, security alerts, KYC status updates, and responses to support queries. Marketing communications are sent only where you have specifically opted in. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting support@pddream.com.
4 Legal Basis for Processing
pd dream processes personal data on the following legal bases:
- Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide the services described in the pd dream Terms and Conditions — account management, betting, payments, and support.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine gaming regulation, anti-money laundering law, and other applicable legal requirements.
- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and service improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
- Consent: Where pd dream relies on consent — such as for optional marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
5 Who pd dream Shares Your Data With
pd dream does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Data is shared with the following categories of recipients only where necessary and only to the extent required:
5.1 Payment service providers
To process deposits and withdrawals, pd dream shares necessary financial and identity data with the relevant payment provider — GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, Visa, Mastercard, and other providers listed on the Deposit and Withdrawal page. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purpose of processing the specific transaction.
5.2 KYC and identity verification services
pd dream uses third-party KYC verification services to confirm the identity of players. Identity documents and verification data are shared with these providers for the purpose of completing the verification process. Providers are selected based on security standards and are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
5.3 Technology and infrastructure providers
pd dream uses cloud hosting, platform software, and analytics infrastructure operated by third-party technology providers. These providers may process personal data as part of delivering their services to pd dream. All such providers are engaged under data processing agreements that restrict their use of data to the contracted service.
5.4 Regulatory and law enforcement authorities
pd dream may be required to disclose personal data to Philippine regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts in response to a lawful request, investigation, or legal proceeding. pd dream will comply with such requests as required by law and will notify affected players where it is legally permitted to do so.
All third parties who receive pd dream player data are required to maintain confidentiality and may only use your data for the specific purpose for which it was shared. pd dream does not authorise third parties to use your data for their own marketing or other independent purposes.
6 How Long pd dream Retains Your Data
pd dream retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of the account and for a minimum of 5 years following account closure, to comply with Philippine gaming and anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
- KYC documents: Retained for at least 5 years following the last transaction or account closure, whichever is later, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
- Transaction records: Retained for at least 5 years following the relevant transaction, consistent with financial record-keeping obligations.
- Support communications: Retained for 3 years following resolution of the relevant issue, for dispute resolution purposes.
- Technical and device data: Retained for up to 12 months from the date of collection, unless retained longer for active fraud investigation purposes.
- Marketing consent records: Retained until consent is withdrawn and for 2 years thereafter, to demonstrate compliance with consent requirements.
When data reaches the end of its retention period and there is no ongoing legal requirement to keep it, pd dream will securely delete or anonymise it.
