• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how players navigate the Platform, which pages are most visited, and where errors occur — enabling us to improve the user experience. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized.
• Security cookies: Used to detect and mitigate fraud, bot activity, and unauthorized account access.

You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell your browsing data to advertisers.

8. Disclosure and Sharing of Personal Data

54 plus does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients only as necessary and only to the extent required:

• IT and security service providers: Cloud hosting and cybersecurity vendors who process data on 54 plus's behalf under data processing agreements consistent with NPC requirements.

9. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is processed by service providers located outside the Philippines (e.g., cloud infrastructure providers), 54 plus ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act and related NPC circulars. Such safeguards include contractual data transfer clauses that impose DPA-equivalent obligations on overseas recipients. 54 plus will not transfer personal data to a foreign jurisdiction unless adequate protection for data subjects' rights is guaranteed.

10. Data Retention

54 plus retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following retention periods:

• Technical and session data: Retained for up to twelve (12) months for security and analytics purposes.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer identify you.

12. Children and Minors

The 54 plus Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. All new accounts are required to complete identity verification using a valid Philippine government-issued ID before real-money access is permitted, which enables 54 plus to verify compliance with the minimum age requirement.

If 54 plus becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, such data will be promptly deleted and the associated account will be permanently closed. If you believe a minor has registered on the Platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

13. Security Measures

54 plus implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Platform.
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including financial account details.
• Password hashing using industry-standard algorithms; plaintext passwords are never stored.
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data to those with a legitimate operational need.
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the Platform's infrastructure.
• Incident response procedures compliant with NPC breach notification requirements (72-hour notification obligation for qualifying breaches).

While 54 plus takes all reasonable precautions to protect your data, no online system can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and not sharing them with third parties.

14. Updates to This Privacy Policy

54 plus may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, the Platform's features, or applicable Philippine law. When material changes are made, we will notify registered users by email and/or by displaying a prominent notice on the Platform. The revised Privacy Policy will display the updated effective date at the top of the page. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
