We will notify affected Players of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.

vegasstar implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to:

• 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption on all data transmitted between your device and vegasstar servers.

• Real-time intrusion detection and anomaly monitoring on vegasstar infrastructure.
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing by qualified security professionals.
• Data breach response procedures in accordance with NPC notification requirements under RA 10173.

Section 09

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

9.1 Types of Cookies Used

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These maintain your logged-in session, remember your language preference, and enable core security features. These cannot be disabled without disrupting platform functionality.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings — such as game lobby view options — to improve your experience on return visits.
• Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymized data about how Players navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, where sessions end — to help vegasstar improve the product. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies.

Section 10

Protection of Minors

vegasstar does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of twenty-one (21). The Platform is strictly intended for adult users who meet the minimum age requirement under applicable Philippine gaming regulations. All registration attempts are subject to age verification, and KYC procedures are in place to enforce this requirement.

If vegasstar becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the associated Account, delete the relevant personal data to the extent legally permissible, and retain records necessary for AML and regulatory compliance purposes. Any suspected underage registration should be reported to vegasstar Support immediately.

Section 11

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of vegasstar's service providers — including cloud infrastructure operators, KYC verification platforms, and game technology providers — may process personal data on servers located outside the Philippines. Where such cross-border transfers occur, vegasstar ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with the standards required by Republic Act No. 10173, including:

• Contractual data transfer agreements with recipient processors that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those applicable in the Philippines.
• Transfer to jurisdictions that have been assessed as providing adequate levels of data protection.
• Implementation of additional technical safeguards — including encryption — where transfers involve sensitive personal data categories.

Section 12
