10 Children's Privacy

The abc8a3 Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. abc8a3 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If abc8a3 discovers or is notified that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete the associated personal data, and report the matter to the relevant regulatory authority where required by law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered an account on abc8a3, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt action.

11 International Data Transfers

abc8a3 primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Republic of the Philippines. However, some of our third-party service providers — including game providers and KYC verification partners — may process data in other jurisdictions.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, abc8a3 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. These safeguards may include contractual data processing agreements incorporating standard data protection clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission.

abc8a3 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate contractual or technical safeguards.
