53jl Casino Privacy Policy

1About This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all personal data collected and processed by 53jl Casino ("53jl", "we", "us") in connection with your use of the 53jl online casino platform accessible at 53jl.org and any related services, features, or communications.

This Policy is issued pursuant to the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the applicable issuances of the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. It should be read in conjunction with the 53jl Terms & Conditions.

If you have any questions about this Policy or how 53jl handles your personal data, please refer to Section 15 for contact information. Our Data Protection Officer is available to address your concerns.

2Data Controller Identity

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 53jl Casino is the Personal Information Controller in respect of the personal data collected through the 53jl.org platform. This means 53jl determines the purposes for which your personal data is processed and the means by which that processing is carried out.

53jl operates under the regulatory oversight of PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), which may impose additional data collection and retention obligations as part of its licensing conditions. Where PAGCOR regulations require 53jl to collect, process, or retain personal data in specific ways, those requirements take precedence, and compliance with them does not constitute a breach of this Privacy Policy.

3Personal Data We Collect

53jl collects personal data across three broad categories, described below. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly required for KYC identity verification and AML compliance.

3.1 Registration & Account Data

Data you provide when creating and maintaining your 53jl account:

• Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued ID
• Date of birth (for mandatory age verification — players must be 21 or older)
• Philippine mobile number (used for OTP authentication and account communications)
• Email address
• Residential address in the Philippines
• Government-issued ID type, number, and scanned copy (for KYC verification)
• Self-selected username and encrypted password hash

3.2 Financial & Transaction Data

Data generated through your financial interactions with 53jl:

• GCash mobile number and masked account reference
• PayMaya account reference (masked)
• Bank account name, masked account number, and bank name (BPI, BDO, Metrobank)
• Deposit and withdrawal history with timestamps and amounts in Philippine Peso
• Wagering history including game titles, bet amounts, outcomes, and session timestamps
• Bonus and promotion redemption records

3.3 Technical & Behavioural Data

Data collected automatically when you access and use the 53jl platform:

4How We Collect Your Data

53jl collects personal data through the following methods:

• Directly from you: When you complete the registration form, submit KYC documents, contact support, set account preferences, or participate in promotions.
• Automatically during platform use: Through server logs, session management systems, and first-party analytics tools that record how you interact with the 53jl platform.
• From payment processors: GCash, PayMaya, and partner banks transmit transaction confirmation data to 53jl upon completion of deposit or withdrawal requests. 53jl does not receive or store full GCash PINs, full bank account numbers, or full PayMaya account credentials.
• From identity verification services: Where 53jl uses third-party KYC verification providers to validate government-issued IDs, those providers may share verification results with 53jl. Such providers are bound by data processing agreements consistent with RA 10173.
• From game providers: Licensed game providers (including JILI, Pragmatic Play, PG Soft) may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable game performance data with 53jl for platform analytics purposes.

5Purposes of Processing & Legal Basis

53jl processes your personal data only where a lawful basis exists under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The table below outlines the primary processing purposes and their corresponding legal bases:

6Sharing Your Personal Data

53jl does not sell or trade your personal data. We share your information only in the following specific circumstances, and only to the minimum extent necessary:

6.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

53jl engages third-party service providers who process personal data solely on 53jl's instructions and for purposes consistent with this Policy. These include payment processing companies (GCash / GXI, Maya, partner banks), KYC verification technology providers, cloud hosting and data storage providers with servers in the Philippines or in compliant jurisdictions, and customer support platform providers. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that require compliance with RA 10173.

6.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

53jl is required by Philippine law to share personal data with the following authorities in specific circumstances:

• PAGCOR: Player data, account records, and transaction logs may be provided to PAGCOR in connection with licensing audits, investigations, or as required by PAGCOR's ongoing reporting obligations on licensees.
• Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC): As a reporting entity under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160, as amended), 53jl is required to file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Covered Transaction Reports (CTRs) with the AMLC where applicable thresholds or criteria are met.
• National Privacy Commission (NPC): In connection with data breach notifications, privacy complaints, or NPC investigations.
• Courts and Law Enforcement: Where required by a valid court order, subpoena, or lawful request from Philippine law enforcement agencies.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or restructuring of 53jl's business, player personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. Players will be notified in advance of any such transfer and of any material change to data processing as a result.

7Data Retention

53jl retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following retention periods apply:

• Account and KYC records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR licensing conditions and AML record-keeping requirements under RA 9160.
• Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, consistent with AML obligations.
• Game history and wagering records: Retained for a minimum of three (3) years for audit and dispute resolution purposes.
• Support communications: Retained for two (2) years from the date of the last interaction in the relevant support thread.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as the relevant marketing consent is active, plus two (2) years following withdrawal of consent.
• Technical and log data: Retained for 90 days under active storage, with anonymised aggregate data retained for up to 24 months for platform analytics.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised, whichever is technically appropriate to the data type and storage medium.

8Security Measures

53jl implements a multi-layered security architecture to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our technical and organisational security measures include:

• Transmission Security: 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption on all data in transit between your device and 53jl's servers.
• Storage Security: Personal data at rest is stored in encrypted format using AES-256 encryption on infrastructure hosted in secure data centres.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access to player data are subject to confidentiality obligations, background screening, and regular security awareness training.
• Authentication Security: Two-factor authentication via OTP is required for account access from unrecognised devices. 53jl employs brute-force protection and automatic account lockout on repeated failed login attempts.
• Penetration Testing: 53jl's platform undergoes periodic independent security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Fraud Monitoring: Automated systems monitor for suspicious login patterns, transaction anomalies, and potential account compromise events in real time.

9Cookies & Tracking Technologies

53jl uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies to operate the platform efficiently and to improve player experience. A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your device by a web server.

9.1 Types of Cookies Used

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled without impairing platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences — such as your preferred game lobby view, language settings, or last-visited game category — to personalise your experience on return visits.
• Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymised, aggregated data about how players navigate the 53jl platform. This data is used to identify technical issues, understand which features are most valued, and improve the overall user experience. These do not identify you personally.

9.2 Managing Cookies

You may manage non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling functional cookies may affect how personalised your 53jl experience is, and that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the platform from operating correctly. Most modern browsers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox — allow you to view and delete cookies stored by individual websites through their privacy or history settings.

53jl does not use third-party advertising cookies, does not engage in cross-site behavioural tracking, and does not sell cookie-derived data to advertisers.

10Your Privacy Rights Under RA 10173

As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data processed by 53jl. To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and your registered account username. 53jl will respond within 15 business days.

• Right to Be Informed: You have the right to be informed of how your personal data is collected, processed, and used — which is the purpose of this Privacy Policy.
• Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data 53jl holds about you, including the categories of data, processing purposes, and any third parties with whom it has been shared.
• Right to Correct: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your account. Minor corrections (name spelling, email address) can be made via account settings; corrections to KYC data require a written request with supporting documentation.
• Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (and no other lawful basis applies), or where it has been processed unlawfully. Note that 53jl cannot erase data that we are legally required to retain (e.g., AML records, PAGCOR-mandated data).
• Right to Object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time. You may also object to direct marketing at any time, which will result in immediate removal from marketing lists.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) to allow transfer to another service.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe 53jl has not complied with your privacy rights, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (privacy.gov.ph).
• Right to Damages: Under Section 16(f) of RA 10173, you have the right to claim compensation for actual damages sustained as a result of inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, false, unlawfully obtained, or unauthorised use of personal data.

11Children's Privacy & Underage Access

53jl Casino does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The platform is exclusively intended for adults who meet the minimum age requirement for casino-style gambling under PAGCOR regulations in the Philippines.

All accounts are subject to mandatory KYC age verification using a valid Philippine government-issued identity document. Any account where the KYC process reveals that the account holder is under 21 years of age will be permanently closed immediately, with all funds forfeited.

If 53jl becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from an individual under 21, that data will be deleted immediately upon discovery, and the matter will be reported to PAGCOR as required by our licensing obligations.

12International Data Transfers

53jl's primary data storage infrastructure is located within the Philippines or in jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection consistent with RA 10173. Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines — for example, to cloud service providers or game platform vendors with infrastructure in other countries — such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards including:

• Data processing agreements that incorporate RA 10173-compliant data protection obligations;
• Standard contractual clauses requiring the recipient to maintain data protection standards equivalent to Philippine law;
• Transfers only to jurisdictions with privacy laws recognised as providing adequate protection.

53jl does not transfer player data to third parties in jurisdictions that do not provide adequate data protection safeguards without first implementing appropriate contractual protections.

13Personal Data Breach Procedures

53jl maintains an internal Personal Data Breach Management Policy that outlines the steps to be taken in the event of any unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss of personal data. The key elements of this procedure are:

• Detection & Assessment: Our security team assesses all potential breach events within 24 hours of detection to determine scope, severity, and risk to affected individuals.
• NPC Notification: Where a breach is likely to give rise to a real risk of serious harm to affected data subjects, 53jl will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by NPC Circular No. 16-03.
• Player Notification: Affected players will be individually notified of the breach, the nature of the data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures being taken, without undue delay after the NPC has been notified.
• Containment & Remediation: Immediate steps will be taken to contain the breach, restore compromised systems, and implement preventive measures against recurrence.

14Changes to This Privacy Policy

53jl reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, changes in Philippine privacy law, new PAGCOR requirements, or improvements in how we explain our policies. When we make material changes — meaning changes that affect your rights or the way we use your personal data — we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy;
• Display a prominent notice on the 53jl.org homepage and login page for at least 14 days before the changes take effect; and
• Send an email notification to the registered email addresses of active players.

Non-material changes (corrections of typographical errors, reformatting, or clarifications that do not alter the substance of the Policy) may be made without prior notice.

Your continued use of the 53jl platform following the effective date of any material Policy update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
