12. Children and Minors — 21+ Policy

The 8k8vip platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and older. This age threshold is mandated by Philippine gaming regulations applicable to casino-style gambling, and is higher than the general age of majority under Philippine law precisely because of the financial risks associated with gambling.

8k8vip does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. During the account registration process, we collect date of birth and conduct identity verification specifically to prevent underage individuals from accessing the platform.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child or a minor under your care has registered an account or provided personal data to 8k8vip, please contact our Data Privacy Officer immediately. Upon verification of the minor's age, we will promptly close the account, cease processing the minor's personal data, and delete all associated records.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

8k8vip reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, NPC regulations, or PAGCOR requirements. When material changes are made to this Policy, we will notify you by:

• Posting a prominent notice on the 8k8vip platform for at least thirty (30) days
• Sending a notification to your registered email address
• Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how 8k8vip protects your personal data. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

For material changes that require your fresh consent — such as new uses of your personal data for purposes not originally disclosed — we will seek your explicit consent before implementing those changes.

14. Contact Our Data Privacy Officer

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data by 8k8vip, please contact our designated Data Privacy Officer:

If you are not satisfied with our response to your data privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. The NPC is the independent government body responsible for administering and implementing the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
