12.Children's and Minors' Privacy

The escala88 platform is strictly prohibited for persons under 21 years of age. escala88 does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21.

13.International Data Transfers

escala88 is operated primarily for Philippine players and processes most data within the Philippines. However, as some of escala88's game software providers, cloud infrastructure providers, and support tools are operated by entities based outside the Philippines, some personal data may be transferred to and processed in other countries.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, escala88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — including contractual clauses requiring the receiving party to maintain data protection standards equivalent to those required by Philippine law — before any such transfer occurs.
