5.1 Security Measures

j3ace implements comprehensive technical, physical, and administrative security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption protects all data transmitted between your device and j3ace servers, including login credentials, financial information, and personal data. This is the same encryption standard used by Philippine banks for online banking.
• Secure Data Storage: Personal information stored on j3ace servers is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms. Sensitive data such as passwords are hashed using one-way cryptographic functions.
• Access Controls: Strict access controls limit employee and contractor access to personal information on a need-to-know basis. Multi-factor authentication is required for employees accessing sensitive systems.
• Network Security: Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and anti-malware software protect j3ace infrastructure from cyber attacks. Regular security audits and penetration testing identify and address vulnerabilities.
• Fraud Detection: Advanced algorithms monitor transactions and account activity for suspicious patterns, irregular betting behaviors, or signs of account compromise.
• Secure Development Practices: Our engineering team follows secure coding standards and conducts regular code reviews to prevent security vulnerabilities in the Platform.

5.2 Your Security Responsibilities

While j3ace implements robust security measures, you also play a critical role in protecting your account. You should create a strong, unique password for your j3ace account, enable two-factor authentication if available, never share your login credentials with anyone, log out from your account when using shared or public devices, avoid accessing j3ace from unsecured public WiFi networks, keep your registered email and mobile number secure, and promptly report any suspicious account activity to our support team.

6. Data Retention

j3ace retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Specific retention periods include:
