php59 is required by law to share certain data with Philippine regulatory and law enforcement authorities, including PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other competent agencies, when required by law, court order, or valid regulatory demand.

5.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of php59's assets, your personal data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity, subject to the same data protection obligations as those described in this Privacy Policy. You will be notified of any such transfer as required by law.

6 Data Retention
