Your personal data is handled with care at phwi. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect from Filipino players, how we use it, who we share it with, and how you can exercise your rights. We are committed to keeping your data safe in line with Philippine data protection law.
phwi is an online gaming platform operated for players in the Philippines. Our platform offers slots, fish games, casino-style entertainment, and more — all accessible via mobile and desktop. When you register an account or use any part of the phwi platform, we act asthe data controller responsible for your personal information. Our registered contact for data privacy matters is reachable at support at phwi.win. We encourage all Filipino players to read this policy carefully before creating an account so that you fully understand how your information is handled. This policy applies to all users of the phwi website and mobile platform, regardless of the device you use to access our services.
When you register on phwi, we collect the personal details you provide directly, including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and preferred payment method details such as your GCash or Maya account information. We also collect identity verification documents when required to confirm your age and eligibility to play under Philippine law. During your use of the platform, we automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, operating system, and session activity logs. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences, maintain your login session, and understand how players navigate the platform. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.
The personal data we collect is used to create and manage your phwi account, verify your identity in line with Philippine regulatory requirements, and process your deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and — where you have opted in — promotional communications about bonuses and new games. Technical and usage data helps us improve the platform, fix bugs, and optimise the mobile experience for Filipino players. We may also use your data to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities as required by law. We will never use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this policy without first obtaining your consent.
phwi processes your personal data on several legal grounds recognised under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). The primary basis is the performance of a contract — we need your data to provide the gaming services you have signed up for. We also process certain data to comply with legal obligations, such as age verification and anti-money laundering requirements imposed on online gaming operators in the Philippines. Where we send you marketing communications, we rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time by contacting us at support at phwi.win. In limited cases, we may process data based on our legitimate interests, such as maintaining platform security and preventing fraud, provided those interests do not override your rights.
phwi does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, including payment processors such as GCash and Maya, identity verification partners, and cloud hosting providers — all of whom are bound by strict data processing agreements. We may also disclose your data to Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where we are legally required to do so. In the event that phwi undergoes a business restructuring or acquisition, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, and you will be notified of any such change. All third parties who receive your data are required to handle it in accordance with applicable Philippine data protection law.
We retain your personal data for as long as your phwi account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by Philippine law and our regulatory obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with anti-money laundering regulations. If you request account closure, we will deactivate your account and cease active processing of your data, but we may retain certain records for the legally required retention period. Once the retention period has expired, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised. You may request information about the specific retention periods that apply to your data by contacting us at support at phwi.win.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to be informed about how your personal data is collected and used, which is the purpose of this policy. You also have the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information, and to request the deletion of your data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing, and to withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data privacy team at support at phwi.win and we will respond within the timeframe required by law. If you believe your rights have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
phwi uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly and to improve your experience as a Filipino player. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to operate and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality such as login sessions and payment processing. Analytics cookies help us understand how players use the platform so we can make improvements — these are collected in aggregate and do not identify you personally. Marketing cookies, where used, allow us to show you relevant promotions based on your activity on the platform. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings or by contacting us, and your preferences will be respected. We do not use cookies to track your activity on third-party websites outside of phwi.
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. All data transmitted between your device and the phwi platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to staff who need it to perform their duties, and all staff are trained on data protection obligations. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks to the platform. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission in accordance with Philippine law. While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phwi account.
phwi is strictly an adults-only platform and is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors, and any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and any associated data deleted. If you believe that a minor has registered on phwi, please contact us immediately at support at phwi.win so we can take appropriate action. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. Our age verification process is designed to identify and prevent underage registration at the point of sign-up.
phwi may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always aware of how your data is being handled. Your continued use of the phwi platform after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you have questions about any changes, please contact us at support at phwi.win.
A quick look at the key commitments phwi makes to every Filipino player when it comes to your personal data.
phwi does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes. The data you share with us when you register and play is used solely to operate your account, process your payments in Philippine pesos, and keep the platform secure. We share data only with trusted service providers who are contractually bound to protect it, and only to the extent necessary to deliver our services to you.
Our data practices are designed to comply with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and the regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission. This means you have clear, enforceable rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your information. We take these obligations seriously and have appointed a dedicated data privacy contact to handle your requests promptly.
Every connection between your device and phwi is protected by SSL/TLS encryption, so your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are always transmitted securely. We apply strict internal access controls so that only authorised staff can view your data, and we conduct regular security reviews to stay ahead of potential threats. If you ever notice anything unusual about your account, contact us right away at support at phwi.win.
You can request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion of your data at any time by reaching out to support at phwi.win. If you have opted in to marketing communications, you can withdraw that consent at any time and we will stop sending promotional messages. Your rights under Philippine law are real and we are committed to honouring them without unnecessary delay.
We do not hold onto your personal data indefinitely. Active account data is retained while your account is open, and transaction records are kept for the minimum period required by Philippine anti-money laundering regulations — typically five years after account closure. Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised. You can ask us about the specific retention periods that apply to your information at any time.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how phwi handles your personal data, our support team is ready to assist. You can reach us at support at phwi.win and we will do our best to respond quickly and clearly. For unresolved concerns, you also have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. We believe transparency builds trust, and we are always open to your questions.
