jl961 Privacy Policy

Who We Are

jl961 ("we", "us", "our", "the Company") is an online casino and sports betting platform operating at jl961.net, regulated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). jl961 is the data controller responsible for the personal information collected through this website and any associated mobile applications.

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), jl961 is the Personal Information Controller (PIC). We determine the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed. Our registered Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees all data privacy compliance and can be reached at the contact details provided in Section 14 of this policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected from players, registered account holders, newsletter subscribers, and visitors to the jl961 platform, whether accessed via desktop browser or mobile application, within the Philippines.

Data We Collect

jl961 collects only the personal data that is necessary for the specific purposes described in this policy. The categories of personal data we may collect from you include the following:

How We Collect Your Data

jl961 collects your personal data through the following channels and methods:

• Direct Registration: When you create a jl961 account, you provide identity, contact, and age verification data directly through our registration form.
• KYC Verification Submissions: When you submit identity documents for account verification — such as a photo of your PhilSys card or passport — that data is transmitted securely to our KYC verification partner and stored on our encrypted servers.
• Deposits and Withdrawals: When you make a financial transaction through GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank, payment references and transaction metadata are received from the payment processor and recorded against your account.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: When you browse jl961.net, our systems automatically collect technical and usage data through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. See Section 05 for full details.
• Customer Support Interactions: When you contact our support team via live chat or email, the content of those communications is recorded and linked to your account for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Third-Party Verification Services: In some cases, jl961 may receive identity or fraud-risk data from third-party verification providers to supplement the information you provide directly, in accordance with PAGCOR's KYC requirements.

Purpose & Legal Basis for Processing

jl961 processes your personal data only when we have a valid lawful basis to do so under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The following table sets out the purposes for which we process your data and the corresponding legal basis under RA 10173:

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

jl961 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, maintain your session security, and analyse how players interact with our website. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. The types of cookies jl961 uses are as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your language preference, and prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how players navigate jl961.net — which pages are visited most often, where users drop off, and how game categories perform. This data is used to improve the platform experience.
• Functionality Cookies: These remember your display settings, responsible gaming limit preferences, and other customisations you have made to personalise your jl961 experience across sessions.
• Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies: These help jl961 detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including bot traffic, account takeover attempts, and suspicious login patterns.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of your jl961 account, including automatic login and preference retention. jl961 does not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.

Sharing Your Personal Data

jl961 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes. Your data is shared only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:

• Payment Processors: GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank receive only the minimum transaction data necessary to execute your deposit or withdrawal. These entities are independent data controllers subject to their own privacy policies and BSP regulations.
• KYC and Identity Verification Partners: Our accredited KYC verification provider receives copies of your identity documents and facial verification data solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and age in compliance with PAGCOR requirements. They are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
• Game Software Providers: Third-party game providers whose content is integrated into the jl961 platform may receive anonymised player session data (such as a player ID and bet amounts) to operate their game engines. This data cannot identify you personally.
• Regulatory Authorities: jl961 is required by law to share certain player data with PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), and other competent Philippine government authorities upon valid legal request or as part of our routine regulatory reporting obligations.
• Law Enforcement: jl961 may disclose personal data to Philippine law enforcement agencies where required by a valid court order, subpoena, or other lawful legal process.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of jl961's business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy practices of the new entity at least 30 days before any transfer occurs.

All third parties with whom jl961 shares personal data are required to process that data in accordance with applicable Philippine privacy law and the terms of a written data sharing or data processing agreement.

Data Security

jl961 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented a range of technical, organisational, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or mobile app and the jl961 servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption, the same standard used by major banks in the Philippines.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data and financial records stored on jl961 servers are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. jl961 staff who handle player data are subject to background checks, confidentiality agreements, and regular privacy training.
• Two-Factor Authentication: Player accounts support two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect against unauthorised login, and internal administrative access to production systems requires multi-factor authentication.
• Security Audits: jl961 engages independent cybersecurity firms to conduct regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of our platform infrastructure.
• Incident Response: jl961 maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of harm to affected players, we will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours and notify affected players as soon as practicable, as required by NPC Circular 16-03.

Data Retention Periods

jl961 retains your personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by Philippine law or PAGCOR regulations. The following retention schedule applies:

Once the applicable retention period has elapsed, jl961 will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked back to you. Anonymised aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.

Your Rights Under the PDPA

The Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 grants you the following rights with respect to your personal data held by jl961. You may exercise these rights at any time by contacting our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]:

• Right to be Informed: You have the right to know whether jl961 holds personal data about you, what data we hold, how it is being processed, and for what purposes — which is the primary purpose of this Privacy Policy.
• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data jl961 holds about you. We will provide this within 15 business days of receiving a verified request, free of charge for one request per 12-month period.
• Right to Correction: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request that we correct it. You may update basic account information directly through your account settings.
• Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where processing is unlawful. Note that this right is subject to our legal obligations to retain certain data under PAGCOR and AMLA regulations.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request that jl961 provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format that can be transferred to another data controller.
• Right to Object: You may object to jl961 processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time and at no cost. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interest, in which case we will conduct a balancing assessment.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe that jl961 has violated your rights under the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

Marketing Communications

jl961 may send you promotional communications about new games, bonus offers, tournaments, and platform updates by email or SMS. We will only send you marketing communications where you have explicitly opted in to receive them during registration or through your account settings.

You can withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by:

• Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email from jl961.
• Updating your notification preferences in the Communications section of your account settings.
• Contacting jl961 support at [email protected] and requesting removal from our marketing list.

Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your ability to continue using the jl961 platform. You will continue to receive transactional and account-related communications (such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts) regardless of your marketing preferences, as these are necessary for the operation of your account.

Minors & Age Verification

jl961 strictly prohibits the use of its platform by persons under the age of 21 years, in compliance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations governing casino-style online gambling. Our services are intended exclusively for adult Filipino players aged 21 and above.

jl961 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. All players are required to submit a valid government-issued ID confirming their age as part of the mandatory KYC verification process before any real-money gameplay or financial transactions are permitted.

If jl961 discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe that a registered account belongs to a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the account, freeze any balance pending investigation, and notify PAGCOR as required. Any real-money balance confirmed as deposited by a minor will be returned to the originating payment method after deducting any amounts wagered, in accordance with applicable regulations.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

In certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to or processed by systems located outside the Philippines. This may occur when jl961 uses internationally-hosted cloud infrastructure, third-party game software providers, or KYC verification services whose data processing infrastructure is located in jurisdictions outside the Philippines.

Where such transfers occur, jl961 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC guidelines on cross-border data transfers. These safeguards include:

• Data processing agreements that require the recipient to apply data protection standards at least equivalent to those under Philippine law.
• Transfer only to jurisdictions that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of data protection.
• Use of standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission where required.

By creating a jl961 account and accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data outside the Philippines where necessary for the operation of the platform, subject to the safeguards described above.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

jl961 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, updates to Philippine privacy law, or new PAGCOR regulatory requirements. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by:

• Posting a prominent notice on the jl961 platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
• Sending an email notification to your registered email address where the changes materially affect your rights or the way we process your data.
• Updating the "Effective Date" and "Version" number displayed at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the jl961 platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you have the right to close your account and request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations described in Section 08.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how jl961 protects your personal information. All previous versions of this policy are archived and available upon request from our Data Protection Officer.

Contact & Data Protection Officer

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way jl961 handles your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer directly. We are committed to resolving all privacy-related enquiries promptly and transparently.

All privacy rights requests must be submitted in writing (email is acceptable) and must include sufficient information for jl961 to verify your identity before processing the request. This is to protect your data from being disclosed to unauthorised persons. We will not charge a fee for handling privacy rights requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we will notify you of any applicable fee before proceeding.
