Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with any individual.

8. Data Security

j177 implements a layered security framework to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and j177's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption;
• Encryption at rest: Sensitive data stored on j177's servers, including KYC documents and financial records, is encrypted at rest using AES-256 standards;

• Incident response: j177 maintains a documented data breach response plan, with notification procedures aligned to the Data Privacy Act's 72-hour reporting requirement.

While j177 takes all reasonable measures to protect your personal data, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You transmit data to j177 at your own risk; however, we will take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure data security once received.

10. Children's Privacy and Minors

The j177 Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. j177 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21. Age verification is conducted as part of the KYC process for all j177 accounts.

If j177 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, that account will be immediately suspended, all data collected will be securely deleted, and any deposits made will be returned to the originating payment method, subject to verification procedures.

If you believe that a minor has registered a j177 account, please contact j177 support immediately via live chat so that the account can be reviewed and closed without delay.

11. International Data Transfers

j177's primary data processing and storage infrastructure is located within the Philippines or in jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection recognized under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines (for example, to cloud infrastructure providers operating regionally), j177 ensures that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards, including data processing agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.

j177 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions without adequate data protection frameworks without implementing appropriate contractual protections to safeguard your rights as a Filipino data subject.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Your continued use of the j177 Platform following the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with a revised Policy, you must cease using the Platform and may request account closure through j177 support.

The version of this Policy governing any dispute will be the version in effect at the time the relevant events giving rise to the dispute occurred.
