3 How We Use Your Personal Information

55j uses personal information collected from Filipino players for the following purposes:

4 Sharing Your Personal Information

55j does not sell your personal information to any third party under any circumstances. We share personal information only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the specific purpose:

4.1 Payment Service Providers

To process your GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and card transactions, 55j shares the minimum necessary payment details with the relevant payment gateway or financial service provider. These providers are independently bound by their own regulatory obligations and data protection requirements.

4.2 Game Technology Providers

55j uses third-party software providers to deliver certain casino games and live dealer content. These providers may receive session data and limited account information necessary to operate the games you play. All game providers working with 55j are contractually bound to process player data only for the purpose of game delivery and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

4.3 Identity Verification Services

Where 55j uses a third-party KYC verification service, your submitted identity documents and personal details may be processed by that service solely for the purpose of verifying your identity. Such services are chosen for their compliance with applicable data protection requirements and their track record in the Philippine fintech and online gaming sector.

4.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

55j may disclose personal information to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or other government authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory requirement. In all such cases, 55j discloses only the minimum information required to fulfill the legal obligation.

4.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets involving 55j, personal information held by 55j may be transferred to the successor entity. In such circumstances, 55j will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information continues to be protected in a manner consistent with this Policy, and affected users will be notified prior to any transfer.

5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

5.1 What We Use

The 55j platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies — including local storage, session tokens, and device fingerprinting — to operate core platform functionality, maintain your login session, and improve the overall experience for Filipino players. A cookie is a small data file placed on your device when you visit 55j.asia.

5.2 Types of Cookies Used by 55j

• Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include your authenticated session token (which keeps you logged in to your 55j account) and security tokens. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences — such as your language setting, game lobby filter selections, and responsible gaming tool configurations — so they persist across sessions.
• Analytics Cookies: Help 55j understand how players use the platform. We use aggregated, anonymized analytics data to identify performance issues and improve the user experience. No individual player is identifiable from analytics data.
• Security Cookies: Used in fraud detection and session integrity monitoring — for example, to identify unusual login patterns that may indicate unauthorized access to your 55j account.

55j does not use cookies for third-party advertising profiling or retargeting. You can manage cookie settings through your browser's privacy controls. Disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use core 55j platform features including login and payment processing.

6 Data Retention

55j retains personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain your active 55j account, and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations.

Key retention periods applied by 55j include:

• Active account data: Retained for the duration of the account's existence plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, to meet anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
• KYC documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of submission, or longer where required by applicable regulation.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years, consistent with financial record-keeping obligations.
• Support communications: Retained for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of the interaction.
• Marketing consent records: Retained until consent is withdrawn, plus three (3) years thereafter as evidence of the consent received.

When personal information is no longer required for any legitimate purpose, 55j will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal data destruction procedures.

7 Your Privacy Rights

As a 55j account holder and a data subject, you have the following rights with respect to the personal information 55j holds about you. These rights may be exercised at any time by contacting the 55j support team through live chat or by emailing [email protected]:

55j will acknowledge privacy rights requests within five (5) business days and fulfill them within thirty (30) days, unless complexity requires an extension, in which case you will be informed of the delay and the revised timeline.

8 Data Security Measures

55j implements layered technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal information of Filipino players from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security posture includes:

• SSL 256-bit encryption applied across all pages of the 55j platform, including login, deposit, withdrawal, and account management pages;
• Segregated data storage — player personal data and financial data are stored in separate systems with access controls and audit logging;
• Access controls — only 55j personnel with a legitimate need to access specific categories of personal data are authorized to do so, under role-based access control policies;
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all 55j accounts, with OTP delivery via SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number;
• Regular security reviews and testing of platform infrastructure;
• Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and address data security incidents promptly.

9 Children's Privacy

The 55j platform is not intended for, and does not knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under the age of 21. Access to all 55j gaming services is restricted to adults aged 21 and above, in accordance with applicable Philippine gaming standards.

If 55j discovers or has reason to believe that a person under 21 has registered for or is using a 55j account, the account will be immediately suspended, any funds associated with the account will be handled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, and all personal information collected in connection with the account will be securely deleted as soon as legally permissible.

Parents and guardians who have reason to believe that a minor under their care has used or attempted to use the 55j platform should contact our support team immediately. 55j takes underage access attempts seriously and responds to all such reports promptly.

10 International Data Transfers

55j's primary operations serve Filipino players and are focused on the Philippines market. However, certain service providers used by 55j — such as game technology providers, cloud infrastructure providers, or KYC verification services — may process data in jurisdictions outside the Philippines. Where such transfers occur, 55j ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information to a standard at least equivalent to the protections described in this Policy.

Safeguards for international transfers may include contractual data processing agreements with standard data protection clauses, and a requirement that the receiving entity demonstrate an adequate level of data protection through certification, regulatory recognition, or equivalent binding commitments.

11 Changes to This Privacy Policy

55j reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, regulatory requirements, or platform functionality. When material changes are made, 55j will:

• Update the "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this page;
• Notify registered users via the email address associated with their 55j account at least seven (7) days before the updated Policy takes effect;
• Display a prominent notice on the 55j platform homepage during the notice period.

Your continued use of the 55j platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of and agreement to the revised terms. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should cease using the 55j platform and, if desired, close your account by contacting support.
