18lj collects personal data that is necessary to provide our gaming services, comply with regulatory obligations, and maintain a secure and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. The categories of personal data we collect are as follows:

2.1 Registration Data. When you create an 18lj account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, residential address in the Philippines, email address, and Philippine mobile number. This information is required to establish your account identity and verify your eligibility to use the platform.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data. Prior to processing withdrawals or where required for regulatory compliance, we collect copies of valid Philippine government-issued identification documents. Accepted documents include a Philippine passport, driver's license, SSS ID, UMID, PhilHealth ID, Voter's ID, or other documents approved by 18lj. We may also collect a selfie or video verification image to confirm that the identification document belongs to you.

2.3 Financial Data. We collect information related to your payment transactions on the 18lj platform, including deposit and withdrawal amounts, transaction dates and times, and the payment method used (such as GCash account reference, PayMaya account reference, or bank account details for BPI, BDO, or Metrobank transfers). We do not store complete payment card numbers or full bank account credentials.

2.4 Gaming Activity Data. We collect records of your gameplay activity on the 18lj platform, including game titles played, wager amounts, win and loss amounts, session duration, and bonus activity. This data is used for account management, dispute resolution, responsible gaming monitoring, and regulatory reporting.

2.5 Device and Technical Data. We automatically collect certain technical data when you access the 18lj platform, including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and session timestamps. This information helps us optimize platform performance, detect fraud, and ensure account security.

2.6 Communication Data. If you contact 18lj through live chat, email, or any other support channel, we retain records of those communications including the content of your messages, timestamps, and the resolution provided. This data is used to improve customer service quality and to maintain a record of dispute handling.

3.1 Directly From You. The majority of the personal data we hold is provided by you directly during the account registration process, during KYC verification, when you make deposits or withdrawals, and when you contact our support team. You choose what information to provide, but providing incomplete or inaccurate information may prevent us from delivering certain services.

3.2 Automatically Through Platform Use. When you access and use the 18lj platform, certain technical data is collected automatically through server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies. This includes IP address logging, session tracking, and device fingerprinting used for fraud prevention purposes. Please refer to Section 7 for more information on our cookie practices.

3.3 From Third-Party Verification Services. Where required for KYC compliance or fraud prevention, 18lj may obtain supplementary identity verification data from licensed third-party identity verification providers. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements and may only use your data for the purposes specified by 18lj.

3.4 From Payment Processors. When you transact through GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, or any other accepted payment method, our payment processing partners may share transaction confirmation data with 18lj to facilitate the crediting or debiting of your account balance. Payment processors operate under their own privacy policies and are independent data controllers for their own processing activities.

18lj uses the personal data we collect only for clearly defined and legitimate purposes. We do not use your data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected. The primary purposes for which we process your personal data are:

• Account Management: To create, maintain, and administer your 18lj player account, including managing your real money balance, bonus credits, and transaction history.
• Identity Verification: To confirm your identity and age eligibility (21+) in compliance with Philippine gaming regulations and our own responsible gaming obligations.
• Payment Processing: To facilitate deposits into and withdrawals from your 18lj account via GCash, PayMaya, and Philippine bank transfers.
• Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries, resolve disputes, and maintain records of communications for quality assurance and compliance purposes.
• Fraud Prevention and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account access, multi-accounting, and other prohibited activities described in the 18lj Terms & Conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: To fulfill our obligations under Philippine gaming regulations, anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, and the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming activity for signs of problem gambling and to apply responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion measures where appropriate.
• Platform Improvement: To analyze aggregated, anonymized usage data to improve the performance, functionality, and overall experience of the 18lj platform.
• Communications: To send you transactional notifications (such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and account alerts) and, where you have provided consent, promotional communications about 18lj offers and new game launches.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines (RA 10173), 18lj processes personal data only where a lawful basis exists for doing so. The legal bases on which we rely are as follows:

5.1 Contractual Necessity. The majority of our data processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and 18lj — that is, to deliver the online gaming services you have registered to use. This includes processing your registration data, managing your account, processing deposits and withdrawals, and handling customer support requests.

5.2 Legal Obligation. Certain processing activities are required by law, including KYC verification, AML monitoring, transaction record-keeping, and age verification. We process data for these purposes to comply with our obligations under Philippine gaming regulations and financial crime prevention laws.

5.3 Legitimate Interests. We process certain data — particularly technical and device data — on the basis of our legitimate interests in maintaining the security of the 18lj platform, preventing fraud, and improving our services, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

5.4 Consent. Where we process personal data for purposes that are not covered by the bases above — such as sending promotional marketing communications — we will obtain your express consent prior to doing so. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without this affecting the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to withdrawal.

6.1 Service Providers. 18lj shares personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our services. These include payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank), identity verification providers, cloud hosting providers, customer support platform providers, and game software studios. All service providers are required to process data only on our instructions and in accordance with data processing agreements that impose confidentiality and security obligations consistent with applicable law.

6.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities. We may disclose personal data to Philippine government authorities, regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts where we are required to do so by applicable law, legal process, or regulatory obligation. This includes disclosures required under anti-money laundering legislation or in connection with the investigation of suspected criminal activity.

6.3 Business Transfers. In the event that 18lj undergoes a corporate restructuring, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data held by 18lj may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. In such an event, we will notify affected Players and ensure that the recipient entity assumes obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy.

6.4 No Sale of Data. 18lj does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to unaffiliated third parties for their own commercial purposes. Any sharing of data with third parties is conducted strictly within the scope of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

7.1 What Are Cookies. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits and to store certain preferences or session information. The 18lj platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to function correctly and to improve your experience.

7.2 Types of Cookies We Use. The 18lj platform uses the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the 18lj platform to function. They enable core features such as maintaining your login session, processing transactions, and applying your security settings. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing platform functionality.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect anonymized information about how Players use the 18lj platform, such as which pages are visited most frequently and whether any error messages are displayed. This data helps us improve platform performance and user experience.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the 18lj platform to remember your preferences, such as language settings and display preferences, so that you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools to understand aggregate patterns of platform usage. Analytics data is processed in anonymized or pseudonymized form and is not linked back to individual Player identities for analytical purposes.

7.3 Managing Cookies. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain categories of cookies may affect your ability to use some features of the 18lj platform, including maintaining an active login session.

8.1 Retention Principle. 18lj retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law, whichever is longer. We do not retain personal data beyond the period necessary for legitimate operational or legal purposes.

8.2 Active Account Data. While your 18lj account remains active, we retain all registration data, transaction records, gaming activity logs, KYC documentation, and communication records associated with your account. This data is necessary for ongoing account management, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance.

8.3 Post-Closure Retention. Following the closure of your 18lj account, whether initiated by you or by 18lj, we are required by Philippine gaming regulations and anti-money laundering laws to retain certain categories of data for a minimum period of five (5) years from the date of account closure. This includes transaction records, KYC documentation, and AML-related records.

8.4 Deletion. Once the applicable retention period has expired and there are no overriding legal or regulatory reasons to continue holding your data, 18lj will securely delete or anonymize the relevant personal data in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.

9.1 Technical Safeguards. 18lj implements industry-standard technical security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers, encryption of sensitive data fields at rest, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security assessments.

9.2 Organizational Safeguards. Access to personal data within 18lj is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Our staff who handle personal data are trained in data protection obligations and are bound by confidentiality obligations. We conduct regular internal reviews of data access logs and security controls.

9.3 Payment Security. All payment transactions on the 18lj platform are processed through payment gateways that maintain PCI DSS compliance. 18lj does not store full payment card numbers, CVV codes, or complete bank account credentials on its servers.

9.4 Data Breach Response. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, 18lj will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to affected individuals, we will also notify affected Players directly without undue delay.

9.5 Your Responsibility. While 18lj takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, the security of information transmitted over the internet cannot be guaranteed absolutely. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your 18lj account login credentials and for ensuring that you log out of your account when using shared or public devices.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) of the Philippines, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data that 18lj holds about you:

• Right to Be Informed: You have the right to be informed about how your personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared. This Privacy Policy fulfills that obligation.
• Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that 18lj holds about you, along with information about how it is being processed.
• Right to Correction: You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you be corrected or updated.
• Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to applicable legal and regulatory retention obligations — we cannot delete data that we are required by law to retain.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, subject to 18lj demonstrating compelling legitimate grounds.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive a copy of the personal data you have provided to 18lj in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible.

11.1 Age Restriction. The 18lj Casino platform is strictly intended for adults aged twenty-one (21) years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals below the age of 21. The minimum age requirement is enforced through KYC identity verification during the account registration process.

11.2 Discovery of Underage Accounts. If 18lj discovers or has reason to believe that an account has been registered by or on behalf of an individual under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend that account pending investigation, forfeit any balances or bonuses associated with the account, and delete all personal data associated with that account to the extent permitted by applicable law.

11.3 Parental Notification. If you believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on the 18lj platform, please contact our support team immediately. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including account closure and data deletion, as quickly as possible.

12.1 External Links. The 18lj platform may contain references to third-party services, including payment providers such as GCash and PayMaya. When you navigate away from the 18lj platform to a third-party website or service, you are subject to that third party's own privacy policy and terms of use. 18lj has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

12.2 Game Providers. Game content on the 18lj platform is provided by third-party game studios and software providers. While these providers deliver game content within the 18lj platform environment, they may operate their own data collection practices — for example, for the purpose of game analytics or live dealer studio operation. 18lj ensures that all game providers operating within the platform are bound by appropriate data processing agreements.

12.3 Responsibility. 18lj recommends that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of the 18lj platform. 18lj is not liable for the data practices of any third-party service provider or website operator.

Where changes to this Privacy Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect how we process your personal data or affect your rights — 18lj will notify registered Players via email to the address associated with their account, or by displaying a prominent notice on the 18lj platform at login. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.

13.3 Continued Use as Acceptance. Your continued use of the 18lj platform following the effective date of any amended Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy. If you do not agree to the revised policy, you may request closure of your account in accordance with the account closure procedure described in the 18lj Terms & Conditions.

14.1 Data Protection Officer. 18lj has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing our compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and for handling Player data rights requests. The DPO serves as the primary point of contact for all privacy-related inquiries.

Please type this address manually into your email client — it is displayed as plain text and is not a clickable link.

14.3 Response Timeframe. 18lj will acknowledge receipt of all privacy inquiries within five (5) business days and will provide a substantive response within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. Where a request is particularly complex or where a high volume of requests has been received, we may extend this period by an additional thirty (30) days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.

14.4 National Privacy Commission. If you are not satisfied with 18lj's response to your privacy inquiry or data rights request, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
