Your Data, Protected Under Philippine Law

HJILI Privacy Policy — How We Protect Your Data in the PH

Your personal information matters. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data HJILI collects from Filipino players, why we collect it, how it's stored and protected, and what rights you have under Philippine law. We've written this in plain language — wala kaming itinatago, and we want you to actually understand it.

Last Updated: January 2025

About This Policy: This Privacy Policy applies to all data processing activities carried out by HJILI (hjili.best) in connection with your account registration, use of games and betting services, payment transactions, and all other interactions with the platform. It is drafted in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By registering on HJILI, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

1 Overview and Legal Basis for Processing

HJILI (operating through hjili.best) is the data controller responsible for the personal information of registered players and site visitors based in the Philippines. We are committed to processing personal data lawfully, transparently, and only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), personal information may be processed only when at least one of the following legal bases applies. The legal bases HJILI relies on are:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to provide the services you signed up for — including account management, game access, payment processing, and withdrawals.
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with Philippine laws, including anti-money laundering (AMLA) obligations, age verification requirements, and financial record-keeping mandates.
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is carried out for purposes such as fraud prevention, platform security, and improving HJILI's services — where these interests do not override your rights.
  • Consent: For processing activities not covered by the above — such as marketing communications — HJILI will seek your explicit, informed consent and provide an easy way to withdraw it at any time.

HJILI does not use your data for any purpose beyond what is described in this policy. If our processing purposes change materially, we will update this policy and notify you through your registered contact details.


2 Personal Data We Collect

HJILI collects personal information in three ways: data you provide directly during registration and account use, data generated automatically by your device and activity on the platform, and data we receive from third parties such as payment processors for identity or payment verification purposes.

3 How HJILI Uses Your Personal Data

HJILI uses the personal data we collect only for legitimate, specified purposes directly related to the operation of the platform and our obligations to Filipino players. We do not monetise your personal data by selling it or renting it to third-party marketers.

The primary purposes for which HJILI processes personal data are:

  • Account Creation and Management: Setting up and maintaining your HJILI account, verifying your identity at registration and during KYC reviews, and keeping your profile details current and accurate.
  • Service Delivery: Giving you access to HJILI's games and betting products — including JILI Slots, Live Baccarat, Tongits, Bingo, MMA Betting, Esports Betting, and Virtual Sports — and ensuring these services function correctly for your account.
  • Payment Processing: Processing deposits and withdrawals via GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and other supported Philippine payment methods. Your payment details are passed to the relevant payment processor solely to complete the transaction.
  • Customer Support: Handling your queries, complaints, and account issues through HJILI's live chat and email support channels — including recording communication history to allow consistent follow-up.
  • Fraud Prevention and Security: Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activity, duplicate accounts, bonus abuse, and unauthorised account access — including through automated monitoring tools.
  • Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Meeting HJILI's obligations under Philippine law, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), and gaming regulations.
  • Responsible Gaming: Using gaming activity data to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour and proactively offering responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits and session timers.
  • Platform Improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve game selection, interface design, loading performance, and payment flow on HJILI.
  • Marketing Communications: Sending promotional messages about HJILI bonuses, new game launches, and platform updates — only where you have given explicit consent and only via the channels you have selected. You may opt out at any time.

We will never: sell your personal data to third parties, use your data for purposes not described in this policy without prior notification, or share your data with advertisers without your consent.


4 Data Sharing and Third Parties

HJILI does not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. We share personal information only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the specified purpose.

  • Payment Processors: When you deposit or withdraw on HJILI, your relevant payment details are shared with the payment processor handling that transaction (e.g. GCash, Maya, UnionBank) solely to complete the payment. These processors operate under their own privacy and security standards.
  • Identity Verification Providers: HJILI may use a third-party KYC (Know Your Customer) provider to verify your identity during account registration or at the time of a withdrawal request. Only the information needed for verification is shared.
  • Game Technology Providers: HJILI's game products (including JILI Slots) are delivered by licensed third-party game studios. These providers may receive anonymised session and technical data necessary to deliver the game correctly — they do not receive your full personal profile.
  • Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: HJILI is required by Philippine law to disclose account and transaction data to relevant authorities — including the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) — where legally compelled to do so. HJILI will notify affected players of such disclosures where legally permitted.
  • Professional Advisors: HJILI's legal counsel, auditors, and compliance advisors may access limited personal data under strict confidentiality obligations where necessary to fulfil their professional duties.

Cross-Border Transfers: If HJILI's service providers are based outside the Philippines, any transfer of personal data is conducted only under appropriate contractual safeguards that ensure a standard of protection equivalent to RA 10173. HJILI does not make cross-border transfers to jurisdictions with inadequate data protection standards without documented safeguards in place.

5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

HJILI uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on hjili.best to make the platform function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to understand how players use the site so we can improve it. Here's what each category of cookie does on HJILI:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential to the operation of HJILI. They manage your login session, maintain your account state while you're playing, and enable core security functions. These cookies cannot be switched off because the platform cannot function without them.
  • Performance Cookies: These collect anonymised information about how players navigate HJILI — which pages are visited most, where players encounter errors, and how long pages take to load. HJILI uses this information solely to improve the platform. No personally identifying information is included in this data.
  • Functional Cookies: These remember your HJILI preferences — such as your preferred language, last-used payment method, and game lobby filters — to save you time on repeat visits.
  • Analytics Cookies: HJILI may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool to understand aggregate platform usage patterns. Data from analytics cookies is never shared with advertisers and is not linked to individual player identities.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent some or all HJILI platform functions from working correctly. HJILI does not currently use advertising or retargeting cookies from third-party ad networks.


6 Data Security Measures

HJILI takes the security of your personal data seriously. The following technical and organisational measures are in place to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, disclosure, or misuse:

  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and HJILI's servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). This applies to login sessions, payment transactions, and all API calls.
  • Encrypted Storage: Sensitive data — including identity verification documents and payment account references — is stored using encryption at rest on HJILI's servers.
  • Access Controls: Access to personal data within HJILI's systems is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Team members only access the data necessary for their specific role, and all access is logged and audited.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): HJILI supports 2FA for player accounts where available, and requires it for all internal administrative access to player data systems.
  • Regular Security Audits: HJILI's platform and data infrastructure undergo periodic security assessments, including penetration testing, to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
  • Incident Response Plan: In the event of a personal data breach, HJILI has a documented response procedure that includes assessing the scope, containing the breach, notifying affected players, and reporting to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours where required by law.

No system is 100% immune from security incidents — but HJILI's security programme is designed to minimise both the likelihood and the impact of any data event. If you believe your HJILI account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately so we can act quickly.


7 Data Retention Periods

HJILI retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law. The following retention periods apply:

  • Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active HJILI account relationship, and for a reasonable period thereafter to allow for dispute resolution and account reinstatement requests.
  • Transaction and Financial Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the transaction date, as required under the Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Act and financial record-keeping regulations.
  • Identity Verification Documents: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later, for AML compliance purposes.
  • Customer Support Communications: Retained for three years from the date of the interaction to allow consistent follow-up and dispute resolution.
  • Marketing Consent Records: Retained for the duration of your consent and for a reasonable period after withdrawal to demonstrate compliance.
  • Technical and Device Data: Retained for up to 12 months for security, fraud detection, and platform performance purposes.

When data is no longer needed and no legal obligation requires its retention, HJILI securely deletes or anonymises it.

8 Your Rights Under RA 10173

As a Filipino data subject, you have specific rights over your personal information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. HJILI respects and supports the exercise of these rights. Below is a summary of each right and how to exercise it with HJILI.

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to know what personal data HJILI collects, why we collect it, and how it's used — which is exactly what this Privacy Policy is for. You may request a summary at any time.

Right of Access

You may request a copy of the personal data HJILI holds about you. Submit a data access request to our Data Protection Officer via the contact details in Section 12.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data HJILI holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. Contact support or update your account profile directly.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the original purpose, subject to HJILI's legal retention obligations (e.g. AML records must be kept for 5 years).

Right to Object

You may object to HJILI processing your data for marketing purposes at any time. To opt out of marketing communications, adjust your preferences in account settings or contact support.

Right to Data Portability

You may request that HJILI provides your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service where technically feasible.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where HJILI processes your data based on consent (e.g. for marketing), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Right to Complain to NPC

If you believe HJILI has violated your rights under RA 10173, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. HJILI encourages direct resolution first — contact our DPO before escalating.


9 Protection of Minors

HJILI's services are intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. HJILI does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. During registration, HJILI requires users to confirm they are 18 or older, and age verification may be required via Philippine government-issued ID at any point before a withdrawal is processed.

If HJILI discovers that a minor has registered or that a registered account is being used by a person under 18, the account will be closed immediately, all gaming activity will be voided, any deposited funds will be returned to the registered payment method, and the matter will be reported where legally required. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to implement parental controls on devices used by minors to prevent accidental access to HJILI or similar platforms.

If you believe a minor has accessed HJILI: Contact our support team immediately at support@hjili.best with the relevant account details. HJILI will investigate and act promptly.


10 Anti-Money Laundering Obligations

HJILI operates in compliance with the Republic Act No. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001) and its amendments. As a covered entity under Philippine AML regulations, HJILI is required to:

  • Verify the identity of account holders through Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures before processing significant transactions.
  • Monitor and report suspicious transactions to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) where legally required — including transactions that appear inconsistent with a player's stated profile or gaming behaviour.
  • Retain transaction records and identity verification documentation for a minimum of five years.
  • Implement transaction monitoring systems that flag patterns associated with potential money laundering activity.

These obligations may result in HJILI requesting additional documentation from you before processing a withdrawal, temporarily delaying a transaction pending review, or — in cases where HJILI's AML obligations require it — disclosing account information to Philippine authorities without prior notice to the account holder.

HJILI's AML compliance programme is designed to protect the integrity of the platform for all legitimate Filipino players. The vast majority of players will never be affected by AML checks beyond the standard identity verification at account opening.


11 Updates to This Privacy Policy

HJILI may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, or the services HJILI offers. When material changes are made, HJILI will:

How HJILI Protects Your Privacy in Practice

These six commitments reflect the concrete measures HJILI has built into the platform to protect Filipino players' personal information every day.

Bank-Grade Encryption

Every data exchange between your device and HJILI — logins, game sessions, deposits, withdrawals — travels over TLS-encrypted connections. Sensitive stored data is encrypted at rest too. Your information is never transmitted in a form that could be intercepted.

RA 10173 Compliance

HJILI operates fully under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. We have a designated Data Protection Officer, documented data processing records, and a breach response plan that includes mandatory NPC notification where required.

No Data Sales, Ever

HJILI does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers, data brokers, or any other commercial entity. Your data is used solely for the purposes described in this policy — period.

Data Minimisation

HJILI collects only the personal information that is genuinely necessary for account operation, payment processing, and legal compliance. We do not ask for data we don't need, and we don't hold on to it longer than required.

Consent-Based Marketing

HJILI only sends promotional messages where you have explicitly opted in. You can update your communication preferences in account settings at any time, and every marketing message includes a clear opt-out. No spam, no dark patterns.

Regular Security Audits

HJILI's data infrastructure is subject to periodic third-party security assessments. Identified vulnerabilities are prioritised and resolved on a risk-adjusted basis. We treat security as ongoing maintenance — not a one-time checkbox.
