Where ds8play engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf (for example, payment processors, KYC verification providers, or cloud hosting services), those parties act as personal information processors and are bound by data processing agreements that require them to process your data only on ds8play's instructions and in accordance with applicable law.

12 Children & Minors
The ds8play platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. ds8play does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you are under 21 years of age, you must not register an account or use any service on the ds8play platform.
If ds8play becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from an individual under the age of 21, it will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete the collected data to the extent not required to be retained for legal compliance purposes, and take steps to prevent further access by that individual.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software and to monitor the online activities of minors in their care to prevent access to online gambling platforms including ds8play. If you believe a minor has registered or used a ds8play account, please contact ds8play's support team immediately via live chat or at the email address in Section 16.
13 Third-Party Links
The ds8play platform may contain references to third-party payment providers such as GCash and PayMaya in the context of completing transactions. ds8play does not embed links to external third-party websites for general browsing purposes. However, in the event that any integration or contextual reference directs you to a third-party platform or service, please be aware that ds8play has no control over the privacy practices, data collection methods, or security standards of those third parties.
ds8play is not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party platforms. You are encouraged to review the privacy policy of any third-party service you interact with in connection with your ds8play account, including GCash, PayMaya, and your banking provider.
14 International Data Transfers
ds8play's primary data infrastructure is located within or proximate to the Asia-Pacific region. However, some of ds8play's third-party service providers — including cloud hosting, KYC verification, and fraud detection providers — may process personal data in jurisdictions outside the Philippines.
Where personal data is transferred to a jurisdiction that does not provide an equivalent level of data protection to that afforded under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, ds8play ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual data processing agreements that impose obligations equivalent to those under Philippine law on the recipient party.
ds8play will not transfer your personal data to any jurisdiction or recipient where ds8play cannot ensure an adequate level of protection for that data consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine law.
