11 Children's Privacy
The ph684 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with PAGCOR regulations governing online casino gaming in the Philippines. ph684 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If ph684 discovers or has reason to believe that a registered account belongs to a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all associated funds will be frozen pending investigation, and any personal data collected will be handled in accordance with applicable law, including notification to relevant authorities where required.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under the age of 21 has registered on the ph684 platform or provided personal data to us, please contact our support team immediately so that we can take appropriate action.
ph684 takes underage gambling extremely seriously. Age verification is a mandatory step in the ph684 registration process and may be re-verified at any time.
12 International Data Transfers
ph684 primarily stores and processes personal data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from locations outside the Philippines — for example, where ph684 uses cloud infrastructure providers or technology partners with servers in other jurisdictions.
Where such international transfers occur, ph684 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. These safeguards may include:
- Contractual data processing agreements incorporating standard data protection clauses.
- Transfers to jurisdictions recognised by the National Privacy Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.
- Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms as permitted under the Data Privacy Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
You may request further information about the safeguards applicable to any international transfer of your personal data by contacting ph684's Data Protection Officer.
