Cross-Border Data Transfers
php555 primarily processes and stores personal data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from servers or service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, where php555 uses internationally-hosted cloud infrastructure or works with foreign game providers.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, php555 ensures that such transfers are conducted in compliance with RA 10173 and NPC regulations, and that the receiving entity provides an adequate level of data protection through:
- Contractual clauses approved by or consistent with NPC requirements
- Binding corporate rules applicable to the receiving entity
- The data subject's explicit consent to the transfer, where applicable
- Other safeguards required by applicable Philippine data protection law
