Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how gwin Casino collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and applicable PAGCOR regulations.
Key privacy commitments at a glance — this summary does not replace the full policy below. All players are encouraged to read the complete Privacy Policy.
Your Data Is Encrypted & Secured
All personal data transmitted between your device and gwin's servers is protected by TLS encryption. Account credentials, payment details, and personal information are stored using industry-standard security controls aligned with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data
gwin does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. Data shared with service providers — including payment processors, game studios, and identity verification partners — is limited to what is strictly necessary for service delivery and is bound by equivalent data protection obligations.
Philippine Data Privacy Act Compliance
gwin's data handling practices are designed to comply with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, overseen by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. You have enforceable rights under this law, outlined in this policy.
You Control Your Data
As a gwin player, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. You may manage marketing preferences, data sharing consent, and cookie settings at any time through your Account settings or by contacting gwin's Data Protection Officer.
Defined Retention Periods
gwin retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law — including AML record-keeping obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). Account data is not kept indefinitely after account closure without a lawful basis.
Breach Notification Commitment
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to affected individuals, gwin will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of discovery, and will inform affected players without undue delay — in compliance with the NPC's breach notification requirements under the Data Privacy Act.
