§ 01 Data Controller

jl697 (operating through jl697.org, hereinafter "jl697", "we", "us", or "our") is the data controller responsible for the personal data you provide when registering and using the jl697 platform. As data controller, jl697 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data in connection with the services it provides.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the jl697 website at https://jl697.org, including the registration process, account management, gaming activity, payment transactions, and customer support interactions. It does not apply to the privacy practices of third-party game providers or payment processors, who are subject to their own separate privacy policies.

§ 02 Personal Data We Collect

2.1 Registration and Identity Data

When you create a jl697 account, we collect the following information:

• Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued identification document.
• Date of birth (for age verification — you must be 21 or older).
• Email address and mobile phone number.
• Residential address, including barangay, city/municipality, and province.
• Username and encrypted password.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with Philippine AML regulations and PAGCOR requirements, jl697 may request:

• A copy of a government-issued Philippine ID (passport, driver's license, SSS ID, PhilSys national ID, PRC ID, or similar).
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or official government correspondence dated within the past 90 days).

2.3 Financial Data

jl697 records all deposit and withdrawal transactions associated with your account, including the payment method used, transaction amounts, timestamps, and reference numbers. Full GCash wallet numbers, Maya account details, or bank account numbers are stored only in tokenized form through our payment processor's secure vault. jl697 does not store full card numbers, card verification values (CVV), or bank account credentials on its own servers.

2.4 Gaming and Behavioral Data

jl697 collects data about how you use the platform, including game sessions played, bet amounts, win/loss history, time spent on the platform, and game category preferences. This data is used for account management, responsible gaming monitoring, fraud detection, and product improvement.

2.5 Technical and Device Data

We automatically collect certain technical data when you access jl697, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, screen resolution, session duration, and referring URL. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and platform performance optimization.

2.6 Communication Data

We retain records of communications between you and jl697 support, including live chat transcripts, emails, and any attachments you provide. These records are used for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and compliance purposes.

§ 03 How We Collect Your Data

jl697 collects personal data through the following channels:

• Directly from you — through the account registration form, KYC document uploads, deposit and withdrawal requests, support interactions, and promotional opt-ins.
• Automatically — through cookies, web beacons, server logs, and similar tracking technologies when you access and navigate the jl697 platform.
• From third-party KYC providers — when we use identity verification services to cross-check the documents you provide against authoritative Philippine identity databases.
• From payment processors — transaction confirmation data, including timestamps and reference numbers, returned to jl697 by GCash, Maya, or our banking partners upon completion of a deposit or withdrawal.
• From fraud prevention services — risk scores and device fingerprinting data from third-party fraud detection providers used to protect your account and the platform from unauthorized activity.

§ 04 Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

jl697 processes your personal data only where it has a lawful basis for doing so under the Philippine Data Privacy Act and applicable regulations. The table below sets out the primary purposes and the corresponding legal basis for each:

§ 05 Sharing Your Personal Data

jl697 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing or commercial use. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 Service Providers

jl697 engages third-party companies to provide services that are necessary for platform operation, including payment processing (GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO partner processors), KYC and identity verification services, fraud detection and prevention providers, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, and customer support tooling.

5.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

jl697 will disclose personal data to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), PAGCOR, the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or any other competent Philippine authority where such disclosure is required by law, court order, or regulatory directive. jl697 may also disclose data to law enforcement agencies where there are reasonable grounds to suspect criminal activity involving the platform or a player's account.

5.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of jl697's business, player data may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity as part of that transaction, subject to the acquiring entity assuming obligations under this Privacy Policy or a substantially equivalent policy.

§ 06 International Data Transfers

Some of jl697's service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers and certain KYC and fraud detection tools — may process data on servers located outside the Philippines. Where such transfers occur, jl697 ensures that the receiving party provides an adequate level of data protection through contractual data processing agreements that incorporate the standard protective measures required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act and its implementing rules.

By registering with jl697, you acknowledge that your personal data may be processed in countries other than the Philippines, subject to the safeguards described above.

§ 07 Data Retention

jl697 retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law and regulation. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

• Gaming history — retained for five (5) years for dispute resolution and regulatory audit purposes.

At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be attributed to any identifiable individual.

§ 09 Security Measures

• Incident response procedures, including mandatory notification processes for material data breaches.

While jl697 takes the security of your data seriously and implements robust safeguards, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security.

§ 11 Minors

jl697 is an online gaming platform strictly for adults. You must be at least twenty-one (21) years old to register and use the platform, in accordance with PAGCOR regulations. jl697 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

§ 12 Third-Party Platforms and Links

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and jl697 has no control over and accepts no responsibility for how they collect, use, or protect personal data. You should review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing them with personal information.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy applies only to data collected through the jl697 platform at jl697.org. It does not extend to any third-party websites or services that may be accessible from within the platform's game content or linked pages.

The "Last reviewed" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently updated. Your continued use of the jl697 platform following the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated terms. If you do not accept the revised policy, you may request account closure in accordance with the process described in our Terms & Conditions.
