12. Children's Privacy and Age Restriction

The ph445 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. ph445 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If ph445 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, ph445 will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account.

13. Cross-Border Data Transfers

ph445 primarily processes personal data within the Philippines. Where it is necessary to transfer personal data to service providers or technology partners located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or game software suppliers — ph445 ensures that such transfers are carried out in compliance with the DPA and NPC regulations on cross-border data flows.

ph445 implements appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, which may include contractual clauses approved by the NPC, binding corporate rules, or transfers to countries that the NPC has determined provide an adequate level of data protection. ph445 will not transfer your personal data to a foreign jurisdiction that does not provide adequate data protection safeguards without your explicit consent or a lawful basis under the DPA.
