jill8 Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

1.1 jill8 operates as a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platform serving Filipino players across the Philippines — from Metro Manila and Cebu City to Davao, Iloilo, and beyond. As a condition of our PAGCOR license and in accordance with applicable Philippine privacy law, jill8 is required to collect, verify, and retain certain player information. We take this obligation seriously and are equally committed to protecting the privacy of every player who trusts us with their personal data.

1.2 This Policy covers all personal data collected through: the jill8 website (jill8.vip), the jill8 mobile application (where available), customer support interactions (live chat, email), payment processing, and any promotional or loyalty program participation. It does not cover third-party websites linked from the Platform — those are governed by their own privacy policies.

1.3 This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which contain additional provisions relevant to the processing of your personal data.

2. Data Controller

2.1 For purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, jill8 is the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of all personal data collected through the Platform. As PIC, jill8 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal information.

2.2 jill8 has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with this Policy and Philippine data privacy law. You may contact our DPO via the contact information in Section 13 of this Policy.

3. Personal Data We Collect

3.1 The categories of personal data jill8 collects depend on how you interact with the Platform. The following table summarizes the main categories:

3.2 Sensitive Personal Information. In the course of KYC verification and responsible gaming compliance, jill8 may collect information that constitutes "sensitive personal information" under the Data Privacy Act, including government ID numbers and financial account details. Such information is subject to heightened security measures and is processed strictly on a need-to-know basis.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

4.1 jill8 processes personal data only for specified, legitimate purposes. The primary purposes for which we use your data are:

• Account creation and management — to register your jill8 account, maintain it, authenticate your login sessions, and manage account settings.
• Identity and age verification (KYC) — to comply with PAGCOR licensing requirements and verify that you are at least 21 years of age and legally permitted to participate in online gaming in the Philippines.
• Payment processing — to process deposits and withdrawals via GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, and other accepted Philippine payment methods.
• Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance — to fulfill obligations under Republic Act No. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act), as amended, including transaction monitoring and suspicious transaction reporting to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
• Regulatory reporting — to provide gaming activity data to PAGCOR as required under jill8's operating license.
• Responsible gaming — to monitor gaming behavior, enforce player-set limits, manage self-exclusion requests, and comply with PAGCOR's responsible gaming requirements.
• Customer support — to respond to inquiries, resolve disputes, and provide technical assistance.
• Security and fraud prevention — to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized account access, and violations of our Terms & Conditions.
• Platform improvement — to analyze aggregated usage data for the purpose of improving Platform performance, game selection, and user experience.
• Marketing communications — to send promotional offers, bonus notifications, and newsletters where you have provided consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in account settings.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

5.1 Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing regulations, jill8 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual necessity — processing required to perform our obligations under the Terms & Conditions agreement, including account management, payment processing, and game provision.
• Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable Philippine law, including PAGCOR licensing requirements, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and the Data Privacy Act itself.
• Legitimate interests — processing necessary for jill8's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, and analytics, where those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
• Consent — for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where you have provided explicit consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

6.1 jill8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We disclose data only in the circumstances described below:

6.1 Regulatory Authorities

jill8 is legally required to share gaming activity data, player identity information, and transaction records with PAGCOR as part of its licensing obligations. We are also legally required to report suspicious transactions to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) under Republic Act No. 9160. These disclosures are mandatory and cannot be refused.

6.2 Payment Service Providers

To process deposits and withdrawals, jill8 shares necessary transaction data with payment processors including GCash (G-Xchange Inc.), Maya (Voyager Innovations Inc.), participating banks (BPI, BDO, Metrobank), and other accepted payment providers.

6.5 Service Providers
