9 Your Data Subject Rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by vvlj. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 14:
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data vvlj holds about you, along with information about how it is being processed, the purposes for processing, and the parties with whom it has been shared.

You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by vvlj be corrected or updated. You may update basic account details directly from your account profile page.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal retention obligations applicable to vvlj as a licensed gaming operator.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where vvlj relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis, and where your fundamental rights and freedoms override those interests. You may also object to processing for direct marketing purposes at any time.
Right to Data Portability

vvlj will respond to all data subject requests within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing any request. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
10 Data Security
vvlj takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the vvlj platform;
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases, including financial data and identity documents;
- Strict access controls and role-based permissions limiting internal access to personal data on a need-to-know basis;
- Regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments conducted by qualified independent security professionals;
- Multi-factor authentication requirements for vvlj staff accessing systems that hold personal data;
- Secure data center infrastructure with physical access controls, environmental monitoring, and 24/7 security surveillance;

11 Children's Privacy
vvlj is an adult online gaming platform. Access to and use of our services is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21. This restriction is aligned with the minimum legal age for casino-style online gambling under the PAGCOR regulatory framework in the Philippines.
If vvlj becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Any winnings accrued by an underage player will be forfeited in their entirety in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account on vvlj using your or their details, please contact our Data Protection Officer immediately using the contact information in Section 14 so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
12 Third-Party Links
The vvlj platform may contain links to third-party websites, payment portals, or service providers — for example, links to your GCash or Maya app to complete a deposit. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies and terms of use, which are entirely independent of this Privacy Policy. vvlj has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices or content of any third-party site or service.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit before submitting any personal data. The inclusion of a link to a third-party site on the vvlj platform does not constitute an endorsement of that site's privacy practices.
13 Changes to This Privacy Policy
vvlj reserves the right to update, modify, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable laws and regulations, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players by posting a prominent notice on the platform and, where practicable, by sending an email notification to the address associated with your account.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will be revised to reflect the date of the most recent changes. Your continued use of the vvlj platform after the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you must stop using the platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.
We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how vvlj protects your personal data.
