Legal Information
crabjl Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data crabjl collects from Filipino players, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have over your own information under Philippine data protection law.
Your Data, Your Rights
Privacy at a Glance
Here are the six core principles that guide how crabjl handles your personal information every single day.
Minimal Data Collection
crabjl only collects personal information that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with our legal obligations under Philippine law. We do not collect data we have no legitimate use for, and we never sell your personal information to third-party advertisers.
Secure Data Storage
All personal data stored by crabjl is protected using industry-standard security measures, including encrypted databases, access controls, and regular security audits. Your financial details — including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, and BDO account information — are handled with the highest level of care and are never stored in plain text.
No Third-Party Selling
crabjl will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Data is only shared with trusted service providers — such as payment processors and identity verification partners — who are contractually bound to handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Your Right to Access
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have the right to access, correct, and in certain circumstances request the deletion of the personal data we hold about you. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting our support team through the crabjl platform.
Regulatory Compliance
crabjl operates in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, the implementing rules of the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and applicable PAGCOR regulations. We maintain a Data Protection Officer and follow prescribed breach notification procedures to keep our players informed and protected.
Consent-Based Marketing
crabjl will only send you promotional emails, SMS, or in-platform notifications if you have opted in to receive them. You can withdraw your consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how crabjl ("crabjl," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects the personal information of users ("you," "Player," or "User") who access or use the crabjl online casino and sports betting platform at crabjl.app and any associated interfaces.
This Policy is issued in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
