• Incident Response: 8k7 maintains a data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, 8k7 will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within the timeframes prescribed by the Data Privacy Act.

While 8k7 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is completely immune to security risks. You are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for your 8k7 account and to enable two-factor authentication.

13.Cross-Border Data Transfers

This includes ensuring that recipient countries or organizations provide an adequate level of data protection, or that appropriate contractual safeguards (such as data processing agreements) are in place before any transfer occurs.

The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
