6.2 Data Deletion

When retention periods expire or you exercise your right to deletion (subject to legal limitations), we securely delete or anonymize your personal information using industry-standard methods including secure wiping of electronic storage media and destruction of physical documents. Backups containing your data are also deleted according to our backup retention schedule.

6.3 Legal Holds

In certain circumstances, we may be required to retain your information beyond normal retention periods due to ongoing legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, or unresolved disputes. We will inform you if your data is subject to a legal hold.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and international data protection standards, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

7.1 Right to Access

You have the right to request confirmation that we are processing your personal data and obtain a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used format. You can view much of your information directly through your 18jl88 account dashboard, including transaction history, betting records, and account details.

7.2 Right to Rectification

If any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. You can update your contact information, address, and communication preferences directly in your account settings. For identity information changes, please contact Customer Support with supporting documentation.

7.3 Right to Deletion (Right to be Forgotten)

You may request deletion of your personal information when: (1) it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; (2) you withdraw consent (where processing was based on consent); (3) you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; or (4) the data was unlawfully processed. However, we may retain certain information where required by law (e.g., financial records for tax and AML compliance).

7.4 Right to Restriction of Processing

You can request that we temporarily restrict processing of your personal information when: (1) you contest the accuracy of the data while we verify it; (2) processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over deletion; (3) we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims; or (4) you have objected to processing pending verification of legitimate grounds.

7.5 Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format and transmit it to another service provider where technically feasible. This applies to data you provided to us and that we process based on your consent or contract performance.

7.6 Right to Object

You can object to processing of your personal information when we process it based on legitimate interests. This includes objecting to direct marketing at any time. Upon receiving an objection to marketing, we will immediately stop sending promotional communications.

7.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You can manage consent preferences through your account settings or by contacting Customer Support.

8. Children's Privacy

18jl88 Services are intended exclusively for adults aged 21 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the legal gambling age. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal information or created an account, we will immediately suspend the account, delete the information, and forfeit any funds in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to 18jl88 should contact us immediately at [email protected].

We implement age verification measures including document verification, third-party age validation services, and behavioral analysis to prevent underage access. All Players must provide valid government-issued identification confirming their age before making withdrawals.

9. International Data Transfers

18jl88 is based in the Philippines, but our service providers and infrastructure partners may be located in other countries including those in Asia, Europe, and North America. This means your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines that may have different data protection laws.

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by data protection authorities
• Transfers to countries with adequate data protection frameworks recognized under Philippine law
• Explicit consent from you for specific transfers where required
• Binding Corporate Rules for transfers within corporate groups (if applicable)

All international data transfers comply with the cross-border data transfer requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and National Privacy Commission Circular No. 16-03.
