In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm, jl989 will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of discovering the breach — consistent with mandatory notification timelines under the Philippine Data Privacy Act and NPC Circular No. 16-03.
