The types of cookies phl99 may use include:

Once retention periods expire and there is no remaining legal basis for keeping your data, phl99 will securely delete or anonymise the information in accordance with our internal data management procedures.

phl99 applies technical and organisational security measures proportionate to the risk involved in processing your personal data. These measures are designed to protect against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure.

• Use a strong, unique password for your phl99 account and do not reuse passwords from other services.
• Never share your phl99 login credentials, one-time PIN, or security answers with anyone, including people claiming to be phl99 staff.
• Log out from phl99 on shared devices such as gaming café computers or a family member's phone.
