This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data we collect through the a8jl website, mobile browser interface, live chat support, email correspondence, and any other channel through which you interact with us. It describes the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we use it, how long we retain it, and the rights available to you as a data subject under Philippine law.

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, a8jl Casino is the Personal Information Controller responsible for the personal data collected through the a8jl platform. Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) can be contacted at [email protected] for all data privacy-related enquiries, requests, and complaints.

a8jl collects only the personal data that is reasonably necessary to provide our gaming services, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and protect the security of our platform and players. The categories of personal data we process are summarised in the table below:

a8jl does not collect sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, or genetic data, except where government-issued ID submitted for KYC incidentally contains such information. In such cases, that information is not recorded or processed beyond the identity verification purpose.

• Direct submission: data you provide when registering, completing your profile, initiating deposits or withdrawals, contacting support, or responding to promotions.
• KYC verification: identity and address documents you submit to verify your account for withdrawal processing.
• Automated collection: technical and usage data collected automatically when you use the a8jl platform, including through cookies and similar tracking technologies.
• Payment processors: confirmation data from GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank in connection with your transactions.
• Third-party KYC providers: identity verification results from licensed Philippine KYC service providers used to authenticate your documents.

a8jl processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:

• Creating, managing, and maintaining your a8jl player account;
• Verifying your identity and age (21+) in compliance with Philippine gaming regulations;

• Contractual necessity: processing required to perform our agreement with you (operating your account, processing transactions, providing gaming services).
• Legal obligation: processing required to comply with Philippine law, including AML obligations, PAGCOR regulations, and tax reporting requirements.
• Legitimate interests: processing for fraud prevention, platform security, analytics, and responsible gaming monitoring, where these interests do not override your privacy rights.
• Consent: processing for direct marketing communications and optional personalisation features, where you have freely given, specific, and informed consent that can be withdrawn at any time.

a8jl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy:

• Game technology providers: licensed game studios and platforms whose software powers a8jl's game library, to the extent necessary for game operation and RNG certification.

• Law enforcement: Philippine law enforcement agencies acting under lawful authority, such as a valid court order or warrant.
• Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, and auditors acting in their professional capacity and bound by confidentiality obligations.

All third parties with whom a8jl shares your personal data are required to implement appropriate data protection safeguards consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and to process your data only for the specified purpose for which it was shared.

Some of a8jl's service providers and game technology partners may process data outside of the Philippines. Where this occurs, a8jl ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, including contractual data processing agreements that impose obligations equivalent to those required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. a8jl will not transfer your personal data to a country or territory that does not provide an adequate level of protection for personal data unless those appropriate safeguards are in place.

a8jl retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, subject to the following general retention periods:

• Account and identity data: retained for the duration of your a8jl account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements.

• Gaming session logs: retained for five (5) years for dispute resolution and regulatory purposes.
• Support communications: retained for three (3) years from the date of the interaction.
• Marketing consent records: retained until you withdraw your consent, plus a reasonable period to demonstrate compliance.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, a8jl will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you.

While a8jl implements these measures, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system is completely secure. You are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for your a8jl account and to enable 2FA to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.
