10. Children & Minors

The vipph 48 Platform is strictly intended for persons aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming laws and PAGCOR regulations. vipph 48 does not knowingly collect, use, or store personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

During the registration process, all applicants are required to confirm their age and submit government-issued identification for KYC verification. Any account found to have been registered by a person under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended, all balances will be forfeited, and any personal data collected will be securely deleted in accordance with our data disposal procedures.

11. Third-Party Links

The vipph 48 Platform may contain references to third-party services such as payment processors and game software providers. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which are independent of this Policy. vipph 48 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 vipph 48 Platform, particularly your chosen payment provider (e.g., GCash, PayMaya/Maya, or your bank).

Where such transfers occur, vipph 48 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including contractual clauses that require the recipient to process personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. We will not transfer your personal data to a jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of data protection without first obtaining your consent or implementing appropriate safeguards as required by the NPC.
