11. Children's Privacy and Underage Gambling Prevention

pg222 strictly prohibits access by individuals under 21 years of age. Our Platform is not directed at minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. This age restriction is mandated by Philippine gambling regulations and is enforced through our KYC verification process at registration and on an ongoing basis.

If pg222 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 without verifiable parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and suspend the associated account. If you believe a minor may have accessed pg222, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software and to monitor their children's online activity to prevent unauthorized access to gambling platforms.

12. International Data Transfers

pg222 primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Philippines. In certain cases, data may be transferred to or accessed by service providers located in other countries, including cloud hosting providers and game software partners. Where such transfers occur, pg222 ensures that adequate safeguards are in place, including contractual data protection clauses consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and National Privacy Commission guidelines.

By using the pg222 Platform, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in countries with data protection laws that may differ from Philippine law, and you consent to such transfers subject to the safeguards described above.
