Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

JLMacao is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses our platform. We understand that trust is the foundation of any relationship between a gaming platform and its players — and that trust begins with being transparent about how we handle your information.

This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the JLMacao website at jlmacao.net, the JLMacao mobile application, and any other digital touchpoint operated by JLMacao. It covers data collected during registration, during gameplay, during financial transactions, and through your interactions with our customer support team.

This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gaming Policy. By using the JLMacao platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein.

2. Data We Collect

JLMacao collects personal data that is necessary to operate the platform, verify player identity, process transactions, and comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The categories of data we collect include:

2.1 Registration Data

When you create a JLMacao account, we collect the following information:

• Full legal name;
• Date of birth (for age verification — players must be 21 or older);
• Email address;
• Philippine mobile number;
• Username and password (stored in encrypted form);
• Referral source (how you heard about JLMacao), if provided.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with applicable regulations and to protect against fraud and money laundering, JLMacao may request the following documents as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process:

• A copy of a valid Philippine government-issued ID (e.g., PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's license, SSS/GSIS ID, or PRC ID);
• Proof of address (e.g., a recent utility bill or bank statement issued in the Philippines);
• Proof of payment method ownership (e.g., a screenshot of your GCash or PayMaya account showing your registered name).

2.3 Financial Transaction Data

When you make deposits or withdrawals on JLMacao, we collect transaction records including the amount, date, time, payment method used (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank), and transaction reference numbers. We do not store full payment account credentials — payment processing is handled by our payment partners using their own secure systems.

2.4 Gameplay Data

JLMacao records all gameplay activity on the platform, including game sessions, wager amounts, game outcomes, win/loss records, and bonus usage. This data is used to operate the platform, resolve disputes, detect fraud, and comply with regulatory reporting requirements.

When you access JLMacao, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• Device type, operating system, and browser version;
• Session timestamps and duration;
• Pages visited and features used within the platform;
• Referring URL (the page you visited before arriving at JLMacao).

2.6 Communications Data

If you contact JLMacao's customer support team via live chat or email, we retain records of those communications, including the content of messages and any attachments provided, for quality assurance, training, and dispute resolution purposes.

3. How We Use Your Data

JLMacao uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

JLMacao will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent or as otherwise required by law.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

• Legal obligation: Processing that is required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including KYC/AML requirements and responsible gaming obligations;
• Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for JLMacao's legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and analytics, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests;

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

JLMacao does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards:

5.1 Payment Service Providers

We share transaction data with payment processors and e-wallet providers (such as GCash and PayMaya) and banking partners (such as BPI, BDO, and Metrobank) to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies and are bound by applicable data protection obligations.

5.2 Identity Verification Partners

JLMacao may use third-party KYC and identity verification service providers to assist with the verification of player identity documents. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only for the purpose of identity verification and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

5.3 Technology and Infrastructure Providers

JLMacao uses third-party technology providers for hosting, data storage, analytics, and platform infrastructure. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.

5.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

JLMacao may disclose personal data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or other government authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.

5.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of JLMacao's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and of any material changes to this Privacy Policy that result from it.

7. Data Retention

JLMacao retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, and reporting requirements. Specific retention periods include:

8. Data Security

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

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the JLMacao platform;

• Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorized JLMacao personnel with a legitimate business need can access personal data;
• Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing of the JLMacao platform and infrastructure;
• Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and real-time monitoring for suspicious activity;
• Staff training on data protection and information security best practices.

While JLMacao takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, JLMacao will notify you and the relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
