Built on Transparency and Trust
nuhstar handles every Filipino player's personal data with care, clarity, and full compliance with Philippine data protection law.

08 Data Retention
nuhstar retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by Philippine law. The following general retention periods apply:

When personal data is no longer required and the retention period has expired, nuhstar securely deletes or anonymises the data in accordance with our internal data destruction procedures.
09 Security Measures
nuhstar implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser or app and nuhstar servers is protected by TLS 1.2 / 1.3 (256-bit encryption);
- Encryption at rest: Sensitive data fields — including payment details, identification document images, and government ID numbers — are encrypted at rest using AES-256;
- Password security: Passwords are stored exclusively as cryptographic hashes using industry-standard algorithms. nuhstar staff cannot see your plaintext password;
- Access controls: Internal access to player personal data is restricted on a role-based, minimum-necessary basis. All internal access is logged and subject to periodic audit;
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): Players are encouraged to enable 2FA on their accounts for an additional layer of protection;
- Regular security testing: nuhstar undergoes periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent security specialists;
- Incident response: nuhstar maintains a documented data breach response procedure, including mandatory notification to the NPC and affected players within 72 hours of discovering a qualifying breach.
Your role in security: While nuhstar employs robust technical safeguards, the security of your account also depends on you. Use a strong, unique password. Never share your login credentials. Always log out from shared devices. Enable 2FA where available. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact nuhstar support immediately via live chat.
