10 Children & Minors

h444 employs age verification measures at registration and during KYC review to enforce this restriction. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms.

11 International Data Transfers

h444 primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Philippines. Where it is necessary to transfer your data to service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud hosting or game platform providers — h444 ensures that such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including contractual clauses that require the recipient to provide a level of data protection equivalent to that required under Philippine law.

h444 will not transfer your personal data to countries or organizations that do not provide adequate data protection standards without your explicit consent or a lawful basis for doing so.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently revised. Your continued use of h444 following the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the updated policy, you must cease using h444 and may request account closure by contacting support.
