12. Minors & Age Restriction
168mnl does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory part of the 168mnl KYC process, and all accounts are subject to age confirmation before any real-money gameplay or financial transactions are permitted.
If 168mnl becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, that data will be deleted immediately and the associated account will be permanently closed. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on the 168mnl platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we may take appropriate action without delay.

Some of 168mnl's third-party service providers — including game suppliers, cloud infrastructure providers, and fraud screening services — may be located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, 168mnl ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect that data in accordance with the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Such safeguards may include contractual data processing agreements that impose obligations on overseas recipients equivalent to those applicable in the Philippines, as well as technical security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data being transferred. 168mnl will not transfer your personal data to any jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing additional appropriate safeguards.
