This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes in detail how jl296 collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects your personal information in connection with your use of the Service.
This Policy is drafted in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC), as well as applicable PAGCOR data protection guidelines governing licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines.
By registering a jl296 account, accessing the jl296 login page, or otherwise using any jl296 Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not consent, please refrain from using the jl296 platform.

02 Data Controller
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, jl296 acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of all personal data collected through the jl296 platform. jl296 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is responsible for ensuring that such processing complies with applicable privacy law.
Where jl296 engages third-party service providers who process personal data on its behalf (for example, payment processors, identity verification providers, and game content suppliers), those providers act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) under jl296's instruction and are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.
