abjl has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy. Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 14 of this document.

11 Children's Privacy & Age Restriction
The abjl platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, in accordance with Philippine gaming law. abjl does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

12 Cross-Border Data Transfers
abjl primarily stores and processes personal data within the Philippines or in data centers that meet equivalent data protection standards. In certain operational contexts — such as the use of globally hosted cloud infrastructure, international KYC verification providers, or game content suppliers based outside the Philippines — your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines.
Where such cross-border transfers occur, abjl ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:
- Contractual data processing agreements incorporating the standard clauses required under NPC regulations.
- Transfer to jurisdictions recognized by the NPC as providing adequate levels of data protection.
- Binding corporate rules where transfers occur within a group of companies.
By using the abjl platform and agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and consent to the cross-border transfer of your personal data under the safeguards described above.
