11. International Data Transfers

php888 is a Philippine-based platform and processes the majority of personal data within the Philippines.

• Contractual clauses that bind recipients to standards equivalent to the Data Privacy Act of 2012;
• Transfer to countries recognised by the NPC as providing an adequate level of data protection; or
• Other mechanisms authorised by NPC regulations.

By using the php888 Platform, you consent to transfers of your personal data as described in this section.
