5.1 nvip does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we may share your data with the following categories of recipients under specific circumstances:

Service Providers and Processors

We share data with third-party service providers who assist in platform operations, including payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, bank gateways, USDT processors), KYC verification vendors, game content providers, hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, customer support software vendors, and email/SMS communication platforms. These providers process data solely on our behalf and under strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.

Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

nvip is required to disclose personal data to PAGCOR and other Philippine regulatory bodies upon lawful request. We also cooperate with law enforcement agencies investigating fraud, money laundering, or other criminal activity, and comply with valid court orders and subpoenas issued under Philippine law.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to continued compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.

5.2 nvip does not transfer personal data outside the Philippines except where necessary for technical infrastructure (cloud hosting) or service provider operations. Where cross-border transfers occur, nvip ensures that adequate data protection safeguards are in place as required by the National Privacy Commission.

6. Data Security

6.1 nvip employs industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and nvip servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. Sensitive data stored at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorized nvip employees and contractors who require access to perform their job functions. Access is logged and monitored.
• Network Security: Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability assessments protect nvip's infrastructure from external threats.
• Secure Authentication: Passwor ds are stored in hashed format and never visible to nvip staff.
• Regular Audits: Security protocols and data handling practices are subject to periodic internal review and third-party security audits.
• Incident Response: nvip maintains an incident response plan to address potential data breaches promptly. In the event of a breach affecting personal data, nvip will notify affected users and the National Privacy Commission as required by law.

6.2 While nvip implements robust security measures, no system is completely immune to security risks. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and notifying nvip immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

7. Data Retention

7.1 nvip retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

7.2 Active Account Data: Personal data associated with active nvip accounts is retained for the duration of the account's active status and for a period following account closure as mandated by PAGCOR record-keeping requirements — typically 5 to 7 years from the date of the last transaction.

7.3 Financial Transaction Records: Under Philippine anti-money laundering law (RA 9160 as amended), financial transaction records must be retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of transaction. PAGCOR may require retention for up to 7 years for regulatory audit purposes.

7.5 Marketing and Communications Data: If you opt out of marketing communications, your contact preferences are retained to ensure we do not send you unwanted messages in the future. Marketing data unrelated to regulatory compliance is deleted within 12 months of account closure or opt-out.

7.6 Once the applicable retention period expires, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized such that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

9. Your Privacy Rights

9.1 Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data nvip holds about you. You can access most of your data directly through your account dashboard. For a comprehensive data export, contact our support team.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. You can update most account information directly in your account settings. For changes to verified identity data (such as legal name or date of birth), contact support with supporting documentation.

Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

You may request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances.

Where retention is no longer legally required, nvip will honor deletion requests within 30 days.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes or where processing is based on legitimate interest. You can opt out of marketing communications through your account settings or by contacting support.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) where technically feasible. Contact support to request a data export.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent (such as for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

9.2 To exercise any of these rights, contact nvip's Data Protection Officer via email at [email protected] with "Privacy Rights Request" in the subject line. nvip will respond to verified requests within 15 business days as required by the National Privacy Commission.
