At phwen, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use our platform, how we use it, who we may share it with, and what rights you have as a Filipino user. We keep things straightforward so you always know exactly where you stand when it comes to your information.
When you register an account on phwen, we collect basic personal details such as your name, email address, date of birth, and contact number. We also collect information you provide when completing identity verification, including a government-issued ID, to comply with Philippine regulations on responsible gaming and anti-money laundering. During your use of the platform, we automatically gather technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. Payment-related information — including transaction amounts, payment method references, and timestamps — is recorded to process your deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos. We may also collect preferences and behavioural data, such as the games you play and the features you use most, to improve your experience on the platform. All data collection is carried out in accordance with applicable Philippine data privacy laws, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
The personal data we collect is used primarily to create and manage your phwen account, process your transactions, and deliver the gaming services you have signed up for. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our platform or policies. Where you have opted in, we may also send you information about promotions and offers available on the Promotion page — you can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting our support team. Technical and behavioural data helps us maintain platform security, detect fraudulent activity, and improve the overall performance of our mobile-first service for Filipino players. We may use aggregated, anonymised data for internal analytics and reporting purposes; this data cannot be used to identify you personally. We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that have a significant legal or similarly significant effect on you without your knowledge.
phwen 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 — such as payment processors that handle GCash and Maya transactions — but only to the extent necessary to perform those services, and always under strict confidentiality agreements. We may disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines when required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request. In the event that phwen undergoes a business restructuring, merger, or acquisition, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, and you will be notified of any such change in advance. We will never share your data with third parties for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy without first obtaining your explicit consent. If you have concerns about how your data is shared, you are welcome to contact us at [email protected] for clarification.
phwen uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and ensure the platform functions correctly across your sessions. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to operate and cannot be disabled; they do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for session management. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how players navigate the platform, which pages are visited most frequently, and where technical issues arise — this helps us continuously improve the experience for Filipino users. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, though disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some features on the platform. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that share your browsing behaviour with external advertisers. Our cookie practices are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain aligned with Philippine data privacy standards and best practices.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed about how your personal data is collected and used, and to access a copy of the information we hold about you at any time. You may request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete data in your account by contacting our support team at [email protected]. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, and to request that we restrict or stop processing your data where there is no legitimate basis for us to continue. If you wish to have your account and associated personal data permanently deleted, you may submit a deletion request to our support team; please note that we may be required to retain certain records for a minimum period under Philippine law. You also have the right to data portability — meaning you can request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used format. If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our platform is encrypted using secure protocols, ensuring that your account credentials and payment details remain protected during every session. Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to personnel who need it to perform their job functions, and all staff handling personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks to our systems. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with our legal obligations and within the timeframes required by law. While we take every reasonable precaution to safeguard your data, no system is completely immune to risk, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your phwen account and to enable any available account security features.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we offer, or applicable Philippine laws and regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you directly via the email address associated with your account. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always aware of how your personal information is being handled. Continued use of the phwen platform after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you have questions about any aspect of this policy or how we handle your data, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] — our team is happy to assist Filipino players with any privacy-related concerns. For answers to common questions about your account and our platform, the FAQ page is also a helpful starting point.
