7.1 Service Providers and Data Processors
551pub engages third-party service providers to assist in delivering platform services. These include payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, DragonPay, Visa/Mastercard network processors), identity verification providers, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, fraud detection services, and customer support platforms. All service providers operate under binding data processing agreements that require them to process your data only on 551pub's documented instructions and to maintain appropriate security measures.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of the 551pub business, personal data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity. Affected players will be notified of any such transfer and the successor's Privacy Policy prior to the transfer taking effect.
8. International Data Transfers
The primary data processing operations of 551pub are conducted within the Philippines. However, certain service providers engaged by 551pub may process personal data on servers or infrastructure located outside Philippine territory. Where such international transfers occur, 551pub takes appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data is protected to a standard consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012, including the use of standard contractual clauses, adequacy determinations, or other approved transfer mechanisms.
Players who have questions about international data transfers or who wish to obtain information about the specific safeguards in place may contact the 551pub Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 16.
