okbeg primarily stores and processes your personal data on servers located within or serving the Philippines. However, some of our third-party service providers — including cloud infrastructure, KYC verification, and analytics providers — may process data in other countries.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, okbeg ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under RA 10173. These safeguards may include:

• Contractual clauses requiring the recipient to maintain data protection standards equivalent to Philippine law.
• Transfers to countries recognized by the National Privacy Commission as providing adequate data protection.

Your continued use of the okbeg platform after any changes have been posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the revised policy, you may request account closure by contacting our support team.
