8jl Casino Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

8jl Casino is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all players and visitors who interact with our platform. We understand that trust is the foundation of any good relationship — and when it comes to your personal information, we take that responsibility seriously.

This Privacy Policy has been prepared in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) of the Philippines and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as well as the guidelines issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). It describes our practices regarding the collection, use, storage, sharing, and protection of your personal data.

As a platform serving Filipino players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and beyond, 8jl recognizes its obligations as a personal information controller under Philippine law. We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee our data privacy compliance program and to serve as your point of contact for any privacy-related concerns.

Please read this Policy carefully. If you have questions about any part of it, you can reach our DPO using the contact details provided in Section 14.

2. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with 8jl, we may collect the following categories of personal data:

We do not collect sensitive personal information (as defined under the Philippine DPA) such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or sexual orientation, unless specifically required by law or with your explicit consent.

3. How We Collect Your Data

8jl collects personal data through the following means:

• Direct Collection: Information you provide when registering an account, completing KYC verification, making deposits or withdrawals, contacting customer support, or participating in promotions.
• Automated Collection: Technical and usage data collected automatically when you access the 8jl platform, including through cookies, web beacons, log files, and similar tracking technologies (see Section 7).
• Third-Party Sources: Identity verification data from KYC service providers; fraud and risk signals from payment processors such as GCash and PayMaya; and publicly available information used for compliance screening.
• Regulatory Sources: Information received from Philippine government agencies, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies in connection with our legal compliance obligations.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

8jl uses your personal data for the following purposes:

• Account Management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your 8jl player account, including identity verification and age confirmation (21+ requirement).
• Service Delivery: Processing deposits and withdrawals, crediting bonuses, resolving game disputes, and providing all features of the 8jl platform.
• Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Meeting our obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Data Privacy Act, PAGCOR-aligned gaming regulations, and other applicable Philippine laws.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account access, and other security threats.
• Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gaming patterns to identify potential problem gambling behavior and to enforce deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion requests.
• Customer Support: Responding to your inquiries, resolving complaints, and improving our support services.
• Platform Improvement: Analyzing usage data to improve the 8jl platform's features, performance, and user experience.
• Marketing Communications: Sending you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates — but only where you have given your consent to receive such communications. You may opt out at any time.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, 8jl processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to perform our contract with you — i.e., to operate your 8jl account and deliver the gaming services you have signed up for.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable Philippine laws, including AMLA, KYC regulations, and PAGCOR-aligned gaming compliance requirements.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improving our services, where these interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for marketing communications and any other purpose where we have specifically asked for and received your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6. Sharing Your Personal Data

8jl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the 8jl platform, including KYC/identity verification providers, payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, Philippine banks), cloud hosting providers, and customer support tools. These parties are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with the DPA.
• Game Providers: Third-party game studios and live casino operators whose games are available on 8jl. These providers may receive limited technical data (such as session tokens) necessary to deliver their games. They are not permitted to use this data for independent marketing purposes.
• Regulatory & Law Enforcement Authorities: Philippine government agencies, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), PAGCOR, the NPC, or law enforcement bodies where disclosure is required by law, court order, or regulatory directive.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of 8jl's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Policy.
• With Your Consent: Any other sharing that you have explicitly authorized.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

8jl uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in to your 8jl account and security cookies that help detect fraudulent activity. These cannot be disabled.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, display options, and game lobby filters to provide a more personalized experience.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how players use the 8jl platform — which pages are visited most, where users drop off, and how features are used — so we can improve the experience. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
• Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content within the 8jl platform. We do not use third-party advertising networks that track you across other websites.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the 8jl platform, including your ability to log in and play games.

8. Data Security

8jl implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security measures include:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the 8jl platform is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
• Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive personal data, including financial information and identity documents, is stored in encrypted form using AES-256 or equivalent encryption standards.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized 8jl personnel and service providers on a strict need-to-know basis. All access is logged and audited.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Available for all player accounts to add an additional layer of protection against unauthorized login.
• Regular Security Audits: 8jl conducts periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in our systems.
• Incident Response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, 8jl will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within the timeframes required by the DPA.

9. Data Retention

8jl retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable Philippine law. Our general retention guidelines are as follows:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of your account's active status plus a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, as required for AML compliance and potential regulatory audits.
• KYC & Identity Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of submission, in accordance with AMLA requirements.
• Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction.

When personal data is no longer required, 8jl will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data disposal procedures. Anonymized data (which can no longer identify you) may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.

10. Your Data Privacy Rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 8jl:

• Right to Be Informed: The right to know what personal data we collect about you, why we collect it, and how it is used — which is the purpose of this Privacy Policy.
• Right of Access: The right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is being processed.
• Right to Rectification: The right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure: The right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Right to Object: The right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on our legitimate interests.
• Right to Data Portability: The right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 14. We will respond to your request within fifteen (15) business days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to protect against unauthorized access to your data.

11. Children's Privacy

The 8jl platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe that a minor has registered on the 8jl platform, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 14.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools and to monitor their children's online activity to prevent underage access to gambling platforms.

12. Cross-Border Data Transfers

In some cases, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed by service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or game studios operating in other jurisdictions.

When such transfers occur, 8jl ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. These safeguards may include:

• Contractual clauses requiring the recipient to process your data in accordance with DPA standards.
• Transfers only to countries or organizations that the NPC has recognized as providing adequate data protection.
• Your explicit consent to the transfer, where required.

By using the 8jl platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred internationally as described in this section, subject to the safeguards outlined above.

13. Updates to This Privacy Policy

8jl may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable Philippine law, or regulatory guidance from the NPC. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and notify registered players via email or in-platform notification where practicable.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data. Your continued use of the 8jl platform after any updates have been posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Policy.

If any update materially affects your rights or the way we process your personal data in a manner that requires fresh consent, we will seek that consent before the changes take effect.
