j2jl implements industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmission between your device and j2jl servers is protected with 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive data stored in our databases is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Strict role-based access controls limit employee and contractor access to personal information on a need-to-know basis. Access is logged and monitored.
• Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required for employee access to systems containing personal information. Users are encouraged to enable 2FA on their accounts.
• Network Security: Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits protect our infrastructure from external threats.
• Security Testing: Regular penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security audits by third-party experts identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
• Incident Response: j2jl maintains an incident response plan to promptly detect, investigate, and respond to security breaches.

While j2jl employs robust security measures, no system is entirely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify j2jl immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

5.2 Data Storage Location

Your personal information is primarily stored on secure servers located in the Philippines or in jurisdictions with adequate data protection standards as recognized by the National Privacy Commission. Some service providers may process data outside the Philippines subject to appropriate safeguards (see Section 10: International Transfers).

6. Data Retention

j2jl retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods include:

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

7.1 Right to Access

You have the right to request access to the personal information j2jl holds about you. You may request a copy of your data by contacting our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We will provide the requested information within fifteen (15) days, subject to identity verification.

7.2 Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information. You may update most account information directly through your account settings. For information that cannot be self-updated (e.g., KYC documents), contact customer support or our DPO.

7.3 Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You may request deletion of your personal information under certain circumstances, including when:

• The information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• The information was unlawfully processed
• Deletion is required to comply with a legal obligation

This right is not absolute. j2jl may refuse deletion requests when retention is required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or for other legitimate purposes.

7.4 Right to Object and Restrict Processing

You may object to processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to or request restriction of other processing activities where the processing is based on legitimate interests. j2jl will cease such processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests or rights.

7.5 Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another data controller. This right applies to information you provided to j2jl and that is processed based on consent or contract performance.

7.6 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal. Note that withdrawal of consent may affect your ability to use certain Platform features.

7.7 Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with your request and proof of identity. We will respond within fifteen (15) days. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend the response period by an additional fifteen (15) days with notice to you.
