11. Minors & Age Restriction

The ph333z Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, as required under Philippine law for participation in casino-style online gaming. ph333z does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

During the registration process, ph333z requires all applicants to confirm that they are at least 21 years old. ph333z further reserves the right to request government-issued proof of age at any time. Any account found to have been registered by a person under 21 years of age will be immediately closed, and any funds deposited will be returned to the payment source used, with winnings forfeited.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal data to ph333z without your consent, please contact us immediately at the details provided in Section 14. We will take prompt steps to delete such data and close the associated account.

12. International Data Transfers

ph333z primarily processes and stores personal data within the Republic of the Philippines. However, in certain circumstances — such as where we use third-party service providers whose infrastructure is located outside the Philippines — your personal data may be transferred to and processed in other countries.

Where such transfers occur, ph333z ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:

• Transferring data only to countries or organisations that provide an adequate level of data protection as recognised by the National Privacy Commission.
• Implementing contractual clauses that require recipients to protect your personal data to the same standard as required under Philippine law.
• Conducting due diligence on all third-party service providers to ensure they maintain appropriate security and privacy standards.

By using the ph333z Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data as described in this section, subject always to the protections outlined in this Policy.
