11 Children's Privacy

The 209 pub platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If 209 pub becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned to the original payment method after deducting any applicable processing fees, and all winnings will be forfeited.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on the 209 pub platform, please contact our support team immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

12 Third-Party Services

The 209 pub platform may integrate with or link to third-party services, including payment gateways and game software providers. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and 209 pub is not responsible for the data practices of third-party services.

When you interact with a third-party service through the 209 pub platform — for example, when processing a payment via GCash or PayMaya — your personal data may be processed by that third party in accordance with their own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with your 209 pub account.

209 pub carefully selects its third-party service providers and requires them to implement appropriate data protection measures. However, 209 pub cannot guarantee the security or privacy practices of third-party services beyond our direct contractual arrangements with them.

13 International Data Transfers

In some circumstances, the personal data of 209 pub players may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside the Philippines — for example, where our technology service providers or game software partners operate servers in other jurisdictions.

Where such international transfers occur, 209 pub takes all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection to that afforded under Philippine law, including by:

• Entering into data processing agreements with international service providers that incorporate appropriate data protection clauses.
• Transferring data only to countries or organisations that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of data protection.
• Implementing additional technical and organisational safeguards where required to protect transferred data.

If you have questions about international data transfers involving your personal data, please contact our Data Privacy Officer using the details in Section 15.
