Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, lovejil is required to have a lawful basis for each instance of personal data processing. The legal bases upon which lovejil relies are:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing that is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you under the lovejil Terms & Conditions, including account management and payment processing.

- Consent: Processing based on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent — primarily for direct marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
lovejil does not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces significant legal effects on individual players without human oversight and the opportunity to contest such decisions.

- Law Enforcement: Where required by a valid court order, subpoena, or other lawful request from Philippine law enforcement authorities.

Children's Privacy
The lovejil Platform is strictly intended for persons aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. lovejil does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Age verification is a mandatory component of the lovejil KYC process. All players are required to confirm their date of birth during registration and to submit government-issued photo identification that confirms they meet the 21+ age requirement before withdrawals are processed.
If lovejil discovers or is notified that an individual under the age of 21 has registered on the Platform, we will immediately:
- Suspend and close the account.
- Delete all personal data associated with the account, to the extent consistent with our legal obligations.
- Return any real-money deposits in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
- Void any bonuses, winnings, or promotional credits associated with the account.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have accessed the lovejil Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt corrective action.
Third-Party Links
The lovejil Platform may contain references to game providers, payment service partners, and other third-party services that operate under their own distinct privacy policies. lovejil does not control the privacy practices of these third parties and is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of any external websites or services.
When you interact with third-party payment platforms such as GCash or Maya to make a deposit or withdrawal, you are also subject to the privacy policies and terms of service of those respective providers. lovejil recommends that you review the privacy practices of any third-party service you use in connection with your lovejil account.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to the lovejil Platform and the personal data collected and processed by lovejil directly.

lovejil reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, updates to applicable Philippine law or PAGCOR regulations, or improvements to the lovejil Platform.
