5 Purposes of Processing

88j processes personal data for the following specific purposes:

6 Legal Bases for Processing

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 88j processes personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent — for optional data uses such as marketing communications and promotional offers. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing;
• Contractual necessity — for processing required to perform the player account agreement, including account setup, gameplay delivery, and payment processing;
• Legal obligation — for processing required to comply with PAGCOR regulatory requirements, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Data Privacy Act, and other applicable Philippine legislation;
• Legitimate interests — for fraud prevention, platform security monitoring, and internal analytics, where such interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of Players.

7 Sharing of Personal Data

88j does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share personal data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for each stated purpose:

• Payment processors — GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other payment service providers receive the transaction data required to process deposits and withdrawals initiated by Players;
• KYC and identity verification providers — contracted third-party identity verification services receive document images and biometric data for the purpose of processing Player verification requests on 88j's behalf;
• Fraud prevention and security providers — specialized service providers may receive technical and behavioral data to assist in detecting fraudulent activity, account abuse, and unauthorized access;
• Regulatory authorities — PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission, and other Philippine government bodies may receive data where required by law, court order, or regulatory demand;
• Professional advisors — lawyers, auditors, and other professional advisors engaged by 88j may receive access to data strictly necessary for the provision of their professional services, subject to confidentiality obligations.

8 Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Data

Some of 88j's contracted service providers — including game content providers, cloud infrastructure platforms, and certain fraud detection systems — may process player data on servers located outside the Republic of the Philippines. Where such cross-border transfers occur, 88j ensures that adequate data protection safeguards are in place, including:

• Contractual data protection clauses in agreements with the receiving entity;
• Transfer only to jurisdictions with data protection frameworks assessed as providing comparable protections to the Data Privacy Act of 2012;
• Compliance with all applicable National Privacy Commission guidance on cross-border data transfers.

Players may request information about specific cross-border transfer arrangements by contacting the 88j Data Protection Officer.

At the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with 88j's data destruction procedures.

10 Security Measures

88j implements a layered set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

The 88j platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, consistent with PAGCOR requirements for online casino gaming in the Philippines. 88j does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age.
