We Collect Only What We Need
bearjl collects personal data for specific, legitimate purposes — account registration, KYC compliance, payment processing, and platform security. We don't collect data just because we can. If we don't need it, we don't ask for it.
Your Data Is Never Sold
bearjl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers. Full stop. Data sharing occurs only where required by Philippine law, for payment processing, or for regulatory compliance.

DPA 2012 Compliance
bearjl operates in full compliance with the Republic of the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and the implementing rules issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).

Privacy Requests Handled 24/7
You can exercise any of your privacy rights by contacting bearjl support at any time. Requests are acknowledged within 72 hours and resolved within 30 days, in line with the NPC guidelines under the Data Privacy Act.

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, bearjl is required to have a lawful basis for every instance of personal data processing. The legal bases bearjl relies on are:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our agreement with you as a bearjl player — account registration, transaction processing, and platform access

To process your GCash, Maya, bank transfer, and card transactions, bearjl shares relevant financial data with licensed payment processing partners operating in the Philippines. These partners are contractually bound to use your data only for transaction processing and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

Identity Verification Services

bearjl uses third-party KYC and identity verification services to validate government-issued IDs and confirm player identities as required under Philippine gaming and AML regulations. These services process your identity documents solely for verification purposes.

Regulatory Authorities

bearjl may disclose personal data to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and law enforcement agencies where we are legally required to do so or where disclosure is necessary to investigate or prevent fraud and criminal activity.

Technology and Infrastructure Partners

bearjl uses technology partners for hosting, analytics, and platform operations. These partners access personal data only to the extent necessary to provide services to bearjl and operate under strict data processing agreements.

Cross-border transfers: Where data is processed by service providers outside the Philippines, bearjl ensures appropriate safeguards are in place in line with NPC guidelines on cross-border data transfers under the Data Privacy Act.

Section 6

bearjl takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) options available on all player accounts

  • Access controls ensuring bearjl staff access player data on a strict need-to-know basis
