Philippine government IDs and financial data submitted for KYC and AML compliance are stored in encrypted, access-controlled systems. Internal access is limited to authorized compliance personnel only, with full audit logs of every access event.
Identity and age verification data is processed exclusively to confirm PAGCOR's 21+ eligibility requirement. If any account is found to belong to a person under 21, the account is suspended and the data is immediately flagged for regulatory review — no exceptions.
