Children's Privacy

The zzcc Platform is intended for users who are at least 21 years of age, in compliance with Philippine gaming regulations. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 21.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and terminate the associated account. If you believe that we have collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities and to educate them about the risks of sharing personal information online.

International Data Transfers

zzcc primarily operates within the Philippines, and your personal data is stored on servers located in the Philippines or in secure data centers in jurisdictions with adequate data protection standards.

In some cases, we may transfer your data to service providers located outside the Philippines (e.g., cloud hosting providers, payment processors). When we do so, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:

• Contractual clauses requiring the recipient to protect your data in accordance with Philippine data protection standards
• Verification that the recipient is located in a jurisdiction with adequate data protection laws
• Implementation of technical and organizational security measures

By using the zzcc Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to these jurisdictions for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Links and Services

The zzcc Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications that are not operated by zzcc. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. zzcc is not liable for any data collection, use, or disclosure by third parties.

When you use third-party payment methods (e.g., GCash, PayMaya, bank transfers), those providers may collect and process your personal data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies before using their services.

zzcc reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or Platform features. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Platform.
