5. Third-Party Disclosure and Data Sharing

5.1 Authorized Service Providers

ah44 shares personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who support our operations. All such providers are contractually bound by data processing agreements that require them to maintain the same standard of data protection as ah44 and to use your data only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.

These third-party categories include:

• Payment processors: GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and other payment infrastructure providers, for transaction processing;

This includes disclosures required under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, tax regulations, and PAGCOR compliance reporting obligations.

ah44 will not disclose your personal data to third parties for commercial advertising or marketing purposes not related to ah44 services. Your data is never sold.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The ah44 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain session state, remember your preferences, ensure platform security, and analyze usage patterns for platform improvement purposes.

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function — these cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as account login, session management, and payment processing.

Analytics cookies help us understand how players use ah44 so we can improve the experience. These are enabled by default but may be disabled through your browser settings or the ah44 cookie preference center.

Marketing cookies are used to deliver relevant promotional content. These require your explicit consent and can be withdrawn at any time.

You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the ah44 platform.

7. Data Security Measures

ah44 implements comprehensive technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes:

• Encryption: AES-256 encryption for data at rest; TLS 1.3 for all data transmitted between your device and ah44 servers;

• Authentication: Multi-factor authentication requirements for all internal ah44 systems handling personal data;
• Audit logging: Comprehensive logs of all access to and processing of personal data, retained for security review and compliance purposes;
• Penetration testing: Regular third-party security assessments of ah44 infrastructure;
• Incident response: A documented data breach response protocol ensuring NPC notification within 72 hours of discovery of any breach affecting your rights.

8. Data Retention

ah44 retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements. Our standard retention periods are as follows:

Data Category	Retention Period	Basis
Account and identity data	Duration of account plus 5 years after closure	PAGCOR compliance, AMLA requirements
Transaction and financial records	10 years from transaction date	Anti-Money Laundering Act of the Philippines
KYC verification documents	Duration of account plus 5 years after closure	Regulatory compliance
Customer support communications	3 years from last interaction	Dispute resolution, service improvement

Marketing consent records	Until consent is withdrawn, plus 3 years	Proof of consent, legal compliance

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted from ah44 systems using industry-standard data destruction methods. Where complete deletion is not technically feasible, the data is permanently anonymized so it can no longer be attributed to any individual.

9. Your Rights Under Philippine Law

If you are not satisfied with ah44's response to your data rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

10. International Data Transfers

Some of ah44's third-party service providers, including game software providers and cloud infrastructure partners, may be located outside the Philippines. Where your personal data is transferred to a country that does not offer an equivalent level of data protection to Philippine law, ah44 ensures such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including contractual data processing agreements incorporating standard data protection clauses.

International transfers are conducted only where necessary to deliver ah44 services and are always subject to confidentiality obligations and technical security measures consistent with this Privacy Policy.

11. Children and Minors

ah44 services are strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older, consistent with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine gaming law. ah44 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If ah44 discovers or is notified that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, that account will be immediately closed, all data will be deleted, and any funds will be returned to the payment source. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has accessed ah44 should contact [email protected] immediately.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

ah44 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform services. Material changes — meaning changes that significantly affect your rights or how we use your data — will be communicated via email to your registered address and through a prominent notice on the ah44 platform at least 14 days before taking effect.

Your continued use of ah44 services after a Privacy Policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Previous versions are available upon request from our Data Protection Officer.
