10. Marketing Communications

22php may send you promotional emails, SMS notifications, and in-platform messages about bonuses, new games, tournaments, and other offers when you have opted in to receive such communications at registration or through your account settings.

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by:

• Clicking the unsubscribe link included in any promotional email we send you.

11. Children's and Minors' Privacy

If we become aware that personal data has been provided by or collected from an individual under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. All deposits associated with an underage account will be returned to the payment source after deducting any wagering activity, pending legal review.

Parents and guardians who believe a minor has registered on the 22php platform are strongly encouraged to contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

12. International Data Transfers

22php primarily processes and stores your personal data within the Philippines. However, some of our third-party service providers — including cloud hosting providers, game studios, and payment processors — may be located in other countries. When your personal data is transferred internationally, 22php ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

Such safeguards may include contractual data protection clauses, adequacy assessments of the recipient country's data protection framework, and binding agreements requiring third parties to process your data only in accordance with our instructions and this Privacy Policy.

22php may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. We will notify registered players of material changes via email or a prominent notice on the 22php platform at least 14 days before the updated policy takes effect.

The "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when the most recent version was last updated. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.

Your continued use of the 22php platform after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any material change to this Privacy Policy, you must discontinue use of the platform and contact us to close your account.
