6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

53jl uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly, including maintaining your login session and remembering your preferences. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymised data about how players use the Platform, helping us identify areas for improvement.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your language preferences, game settings, and other personalisation options.
• Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content to you, where you have consented to receive marketing communications.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the 53jl Platform.

7. Data Retention

53jl retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. Specifically:

• Account and transaction data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with AML and PAGCOR record-keeping requirements.
• KYC documents are retained for the duration of your account and for five (5) years after closure.
• Customer support communications are retained for three (3) years.
• Marketing consent records are retained until you withdraw consent and for one (1) year thereafter.

When personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies, 53jl will securely delete or anonymise that data.

8. Data Security

53jl implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the 53jl Platform.
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including passwords (stored as salted h ashes) and financial identifiers.
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis.
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of the Platform infrastructure.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for player accounts to add an additional layer of login security.

While 53jl takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, 53jl will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and affected players in accordance with the requirements of RA 10173.

9. Your Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 53jl:

• Right to be Informed: You have the right to know what personal data 53jl collects about you and how it is used — which is the purpose of this Privacy Policy.
• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data 53jl holds about you at any time.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your account.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) if you believe your data privacy rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact the 53jl Data Privacy Officer via the support email listed in Section 13 of this Policy. We will respond to all verified requests within thirty (30) days.

10. Children & Minors

The 53jl Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and older, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. 53jl does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data to 53jl without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will promptly investigate and, where confirmed, close the account and delete all associated personal data.

Age verification is a mandatory step in the 53jl registration process. Any player found to be under 21 years of age will have their account immediately suspended and all balances held pending investigation.

11. International Data Transfers

53jl primarily stores and processes player data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from servers or service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, where 53jl uses internationally hosted cloud infrastructure or engages game software providers based abroad.

Where such transfers occur, 53jl ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including contractual data processing agreements that require the recipient to apply data protection standards equivalent to those required under Philippine law. 53jl will not transfer your personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without your explicit consent or a valid legal basis.

12. Updates to This Policy

53jl reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect, where reasonably practicable.

The most current version of this Privacy Policy will always be available on this page, with the effective date clearly indicated at the top. Your continued use of the 53jl Platform after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
