10. Children and Minors

The royal888 Platform is strictly intended for persons who are 21 years of age or older, in accordance with Philippine gambling regulations. Royal888 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

11. International Data Transfers

Royal888 primarily processes and stores personal data within the Philippines. Where it is necessary to transfer personal data to service providers or partners located outside the Philippines — for example, to cloud infrastructure providers or game software licensors — royal888 ensures that such transfers are conducted in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual data protection clauses that provide an equivalent level of protection to that afforded under Philippine law.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

The royal888 Platform may contain references to third-party payment providers and game software suppliers. Royal888 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of the Platform. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by royal888 through the Platform.

Royal888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or Platform features. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via email or a prominent notice on the Platform. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

Your continued use of the royal888 Platform following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
