10. Children and Minors

The sj77 Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine law. sj77 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, we will immediately close the account and delete all associated data. If you believe a minor has accessed the sj77 Platform, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

11. Third-Party Services

The sj77 Platform may integrate with third-party service providers to deliver certain features, including payment processing, identity verification, and customer support tools. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and data protection practices. sj77 carefully selects service providers who meet our data security standards and requires them to process your data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable Philippine law.

sj77 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services that are not directly operated by us. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your sj77 account, particularly your chosen payment provider such as GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank.

12. International Data Transfers

sj77 primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Philippines. In certain circumstances, your data may be transferred to or processed by service providers located outside the Philippines, for example in connection with cloud hosting or technical support services. Where such transfers occur, sj77 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, including the use of contractual data protection clauses with the receiving party.

By using the sj77 Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal data outside the Philippines where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to the safeguards described above.

sj77 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or Platform features. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email or through a prominent notice on the sj77 Platform prior to the changes taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

Your continued use of the sj77 Platform following the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how sj77 protects your personal data.
