JL998 processes your personal data only for specific, documented purposes. The table below summarizes the primary uses of each data type:

JL998 does not use your personal data to make fully automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, without human review involvement.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, JL998 relies on the following legal grounds to process your personal data:

• Consent: For marketing communications, optional features, and any processing beyond what is strictly necessary to operate your account.
• Contractual necessity: For account management, payment processing, and service delivery — processing your data is necessary to fulfill our obligations to you as a JL998 player.
• Legal obligation: For KYC/AML compliance, regulatory reporting, and any processing required by Philippine law or our gaming license conditions.
• Legitimate interest: For fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement — where JL998's interest in protecting the platform and its players does not override your privacy rights.

05 Data Sharing and Third Parties

JL998 does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the following limited and necessary circumstances:

• Payment processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay/PESONet network banks, and card processors receive transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
• Identity verification services: Third-party KYC providers may receive your identification documents to perform automated or manual identity checks as required by our licensing conditions.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: JL998 is required to report certain transaction data and player information to gaming regulators and law enforcement agencies as mandated by Philippine law.
• Game and platform technology providers: Third-party software providers that power specific games on JL998 may receive session and gameplay data for the purpose of delivering the game and auditing outcomes.
• Fraud prevention networks: In cases of suspected fraud or money laundering, JL998 may share limited account information with licensed fraud prevention services.

All third parties with whom JL998 shares personal data are required to handle that data in a manner consistent with the Philippine Data Privacy Act and are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own marketing purposes.

06 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

JL998 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, improve your experience, and understand how players use the site. Here is what we use and why:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include your session login token, bet slip contents, and security verification cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Performance cookies: Help JL998 understand which pages and features are used most frequently so we can improve the platform. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized.
• Preference cookies: Remember your language preference, display settings, and recently viewed games so you don't have to set them every session.
• Analytics cookies: JL998 uses privacy-compliant analytics tools to track aggregate user behavior — such as which sports categories receive the most traffic — to guide product development decisions.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to your JL998 account. JL998 does not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioral tracking cookies that follow you across other websites.

07 Data Security

JL998 implements a layered security architecture to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and JL998 servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases, including payment information and identity documents
• Role-based access controls ensuring only authorized JL998 personnel can access player data, on a need-to-know basis
• Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of platform infrastructure
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all JL998 accounts and enforced for all staff accounts
• Automated monitoring systems that detect and flag suspicious login activity or unusual account behavior

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal data and creates a risk to your rights, JL998 will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players as soon as practicable thereafter.

08 Data Retention

JL998 retains your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:

• Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account's active status, plus the applicable statutory period after closure.
• KYC and identity documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, in compliance with Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years for AML compliance and tax reporting purposes.
• Gameplay and betting history: Retained for three (3) years for dispute resolution purposes, then deleted or anonymized.
• Technical logs: Retained for twelve (12) months for security and fraud investigation purposes.
• Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, JL998 will securely delete or anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be linked back to you.

09 Your Data Rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by JL998. You can exercise any of these rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer at support@jl998.best:

10 Children's Privacy

JL998 strictly prohibits the use of its Platform by anyone under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age. If JL998 becomes aware that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, that account will be immediately closed and all associated data will be deleted.

Age verification is a core part of the JL998 registration and KYC process. If you believe a minor may be accessing the Platform using your account or payment details, please contact JL998 support immediately so we can assist you in securing your account.

11 Marketing Communications

JL998 may send you promotional emails, SMS messages, and in-platform notifications about new games, promotions, deposit bonuses, and other offers — but only if you have consented to receive them at registration or subsequently opted in through your account settings.

• You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email, replying STOP to any SMS, or updating your communication preferences in your JL998 account settings.
• Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications — you will still receive account notifications, deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and security alerts.
• JL998 does not share your contact details with third-party marketers.

JL998 reviews this Privacy Policy periodically and may update it to reflect changes in our data processing practices, new legal requirements, or improvements to how we explain our privacy commitments. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the current version came into effect.

For material changes — those that affect what data we collect, how we use it, or your rights — JL998 will notify you via your registered email address at least 7 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of JL998 after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not accept the changes, you may close your account at any time.
