4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

PHWin55 does not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose your information to PAGCOR, the National Privacy Commission, the AMLC, or law enforcement when required by law or a valid legal process.
• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred to the new entity, which will remain bound by this Privacy Policy.
• Affiliate Programs: If you participate in PHWin55's Refer a Friend program, limited data such as your referral status may be shared within our partner network strictly for reward processing.

All third parties with whom we share your data are required to maintain appropriate security measures and are prohibited from using your information for their own marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

PHWin55 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by Philippine law.

• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents are stored for the duration required by PAGCOR licensing requirements.
• Marketing Data: Retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion.

When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

PHWin55 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for account access
• Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
• Intrusion detection and real-time monitoring systems
• Strict employee access control and data handling training
• Secure, geographically redundant data centres

Despite all these measures, no system is 100% impenetrable. If you suspect any unauthorised activity on your PHWin55 account, please contact our support team immediately so we can act fast.

8. Minors and Age Verification

PHWin55 strictly prohibits gambling by persons under the age of 21 in accordance with Philippine law. Our platform is not intended for minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21 years of age.

During registration, all users must confirm their date of birth. We conduct KYC verification checks to enforce this requirement. If we discover that a minor has accessed our platform, we will immediately suspend the account and securely delete all associated personal data.

If you believe a minor has registered on PHWin55, please report it to us at support@phwin55.net right away.

• A prominent notice on phwin55.net
• An email notification to your registered email address
• An SMS alert to your registered mobile number (for significant updates)

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent version. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of PHWin55 after any updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
