8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

gl29 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on the platform, maintain session continuity, and gather analytics data. The following types of cookies are used:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of the gl29 platform. These cookies enable core functions such as secure login, session management, and fraud prevention. They cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use the platform.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences and settings, such as your preferred language, display settings, and responsible gaming limits, so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymized data about how players use the gl29 platform, including which pages are visited most frequently and how players navigate between sections. This data helps gl29 improve platform performance and user experience.
• Marketing Cookies: Used, with your consent, to deliver relevant promotional content and track the effectiveness of gl29 marketing campaigns. These cookies are only activated where you have provided explicit consent.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the gl29 platform. For detailed instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.

9. Data Retention

gl29 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and regulation. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active Account and for a minimum of 5 years following Account closure, in accordance with AML record-keeping requirements under Philippine law.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act and related regulations.
• KYC and Identity Verification Documents: Retained for a minimum of 5 years following Account closure or the completion of the relevant verification process.
• Customer Support Communications: Retained for a minimum of 2 years from the date of the last communication, or longer where relevant to an ongoing dispute or legal proceeding.
• Gaming and Wagering Logs: Retained for a minimum of 3 years for responsible gaming monitoring, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes.
• Marketing Preferences: Retained until you withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications, after which your opt-out preference is recorded and retained indefinitely to prevent future unsolicited contact.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with gl29's data disposal procedures. Where data is anonymized rather than deleted, the resulting anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes, as it can no longer be used to identify you.

10. Data Security

gl29 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the gl29 platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS technology. Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized gl29 personnel and service providers on a strict need-to-know basis. All access is logged and subject to regular audit.
• Firewalls and Intrusion Detection: gl29 employs enterprise-grade firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and continuous security monitoring to protect our infrastructure from external threats.
• Regular Security Assessments: gl29 conducts regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential security weaknesses in our platform and infrastructure.
• Staff Training: All gl29 personnel who handle personal data receive regular training on data protection obligations and security best practices.
• Incident Response: gl29 maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, gl29 will notify the NPC and affected players in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

While gl29 takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own Account credentials and for notifying gl29 immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your Account.

11. Your Data Rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by gl29:

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact the gl29 Data Privacy team via live chat or by emailing [email protected]. gl29 will respond to all verified data subject requests within 15 business days of receipt, in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012. We may request proof of identity before processing your request to protect against unauthorized access to your data.

12. Children and Minors

The gl29 platform is strictly intended for individuals who are at least 21 years of age, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. gl29 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If gl29 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated Account. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal data to gl29, please contact us immediately via live chat or at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

gl29 employs age verification procedures during the Account registration process and may request additional documentary proof of age at any time. Providing false information about your age to circumvent these controls is a serious violation of the gl29 Terms & Conditions and may constitute a criminal offence under Philippine law.

13. International Data Transfers

gl29 primarily processes and stores personal data within the Republic of the Philippines. However, some of our third-party service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers, fraud prevention partners, and KYC verification services — may be located in or operate from jurisdictions outside the Philippines.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, gl29 ensures that such transfers are carried out in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. Specifically, gl29 implements appropriate safeguards, which may include:

• Entering into data processing agreements with receiving parties that incorporate data protection standards equivalent to those required under Philippine law.
• Transferring data only to jurisdictions that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of data protection.
• Obtaining your explicit consent to the transfer where required by applicable law.

By using the gl29 platform and providing your personal data, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines, subject to the safeguards described above.

14. Third-Party Links and Services

The gl29 platform may contain references to third-party services, such as payment providers and game content suppliers. This Privacy Policy applies solely to personal data collected and processed by gl29 through the gl29 platform. It does not apply to the data practices of any third-party service providers, payment processors, or other external parties.

gl29 is not responsible for the privacy practices or content 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 gl29 platform, including your chosen payment provider (e.g., GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank).

15. Updates to This Privacy Policy

gl29 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, gl29 will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect, where reasonably practicable.

The most current version of this Privacy Policy will always be available on this page, with the effective date clearly indicated at the top of the document. Your continued use of the gl29 platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the gl29 platform and may request Account closure in accordance with the gl29 Terms & Conditions. Any personal data collected prior to the effective date of the updated Policy will continue to be handled in accordance with the version of the Policy in effect at the time of collection, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
