If we discover that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete the associated personal data, and report the incident to the appropriate Philippine authorities where required. If you believe a minor has registered on 55mw, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

In the course of operating our platform and engaging service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the Philippines. Where such transfers occur, 55mw ensures that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including contractual clauses that require the recipient to provide protection equivalent to that offered under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

We will only transfer your personal data internationally where:

• The transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and 55mw (e.g., international payment processing);
• The recipient country provides an adequate level of data protection as assessed by the National Privacy Commission; or
• We have obtained your explicit consent to the transfer.
