J8 PH Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Personal Data

1 Overview

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how J8 PH, operated at j8ph.click ("we," "us," "our"), collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal information of players and visitors who use our platform ("you," "your").

We operate in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). All personal data collected by j8 ph is handled with strict regard for your rights as a data subject under Philippine law.

By creating an account, depositing funds, or otherwise using the J8 PH platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

2 Data We Collect

J8 PH collects personal information in two broad categories: information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use our platform.

Information You Provide Directly

• Account registration: Full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and chosen username.
• Identity verification (KYC): Government-issued ID (e.g., PhilSys ID, passport, driver's licence), selfie for liveness check, and proof of address where required.
• Financial information: GCash or Maya account numbers, bank account details (BDO, BPI, UnionBank), or card numbers (last four digits only — full card numbers are never stored by J8 PH and are handled directly by our payment processor).
• Support communications: Messages, complaints, and other communications you send to our support team, including live chat transcripts.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device and browser data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution.
• Usage data: Pages visited, games played, bet amounts, session duration, click paths, and feature interactions.
• Transaction data: Deposit and withdrawal history, game results, and bonus claim records.
• Location data: General geolocation derived from IP address for regulatory compliance (we do not access your GPS location without explicit permission).
• Cookies and tracking technologies: See Section 9 for full details.

3 How We Collect Your Data

Data is collected through the following channels at J8 PH:

• Registration forms: When you create your J8 PH account.
• KYC verification process: When you submit identity documents for account verification or withdrawal processing.
• Payment processing: When you make a deposit or submit a withdrawal request.
• Platform usage: Automatically logged as you navigate the site, play games, and interact with features.
• Customer support interactions: Live chat, email, and any other support channel you use to contact us.

• Cookies and analytics tools: Via browser cookies and platform analytics that track how the site is used (see Section 9).

4 Why We Use Your Data

J8 PH uses your personal information for the following specific purposes. We do not use your data for anything beyond what is listed here without first obtaining your consent:

• Account management: To create, maintain, and secure your J8 PH account, and to authenticate your identity when you log in.
• Payment processing: To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso via GCash, Maya, bank transfer, and other supported payment methods.
• Regulatory compliance: To meet our obligations under Philippine gaming regulations, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. This includes reporting to regulatory authorities where legally required.
• Customer support: To respond to your enquiries, resolve disputes, and provide assistance with your account.
• Platform improvement: To analyse how players use the platform so we can fix issues, improve features, and develop new services that better serve Filipino players.
• Marketing communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates — but only where you have opted in to receive them. You can opt out at any time from your account settings.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor usage patterns that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour and to apply responsible gaming interventions where appropriate.
• Fraud prevention and security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, account abuse, and unauthorised access.

5 Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, J8 PH processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to perform our contract with you (i.e., to operate your account, process payments, and deliver the services you signed up for).
• Legal obligation: Processing is required for compliance with gaming regulations, AML requirements, and other applicable Philippine laws.
• Legitimate interest: Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, including platform security, fraud prevention, and service improvement — where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: For optional processing such as marketing communications and certain types of analytics, we rely on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

6 Sharing Your Personal Data

J8 PH does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: GCash, Maya, and banking partners receive only the financial information necessary to process your transactions. These processors are contractually bound to handle your data securely.
• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC service providers may process your identity documents solely for verification purposes. They are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
• Regulatory authorities: We may be required by law to disclose your data to the relevant Philippine gaming regulator, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or law enforcement agencies in response to a lawful request.
• Service providers: Technology partners who help us operate the platform (e.g., hosting providers, analytics platforms, customer support tools) access data only as necessary and are bound by strict data processing agreements.
• Game providers: Game studios like JILI may receive anonymised gameplay data for game performance monitoring. No personally identifiable information is shared with game providers.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of J8 PH, player data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change.

7 Data Retention

J8 PH retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or for as long as required by applicable law — whichever is longer.

• Active accounts: Data is retained for the lifetime of your account plus a minimum of five (5) years after closure, in compliance with Philippine AML regulations.
• KYC documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of your last transaction, as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
• Transaction records: Retained for five (5) years for regulatory audit purposes.
• Support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the interaction.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as your consent is active, plus one (1) year after withdrawal.

When data is no longer required, J8 PH securely deletes or anonymises it so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

8 How We Keep Your Data Secure

• Two-factor authentication: Available and encouraged for all player accounts to prevent unauthorised login.
• Penetration testing and audits: Our security infrastructure is tested periodically by independent security professionals.
• Incident response: In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, J8 PH will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within the timeframe required by Philippine law.
