We are committed to handling your personal data with care. This policy describes what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and what rights you have over your own data. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which govern the overall use of the platform.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

We do not use your personal data for purposes beyond what is listed above without your prior consent. We will not profile you for third-party advertising or sell your data to marketing companies.

4. Sharing Your Information

phw999 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: We share the minimum necessary transaction data with GCash, Maya, and Philippine banking partners to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and data protection obligations.
• Identity verification services: During KYC checks, your identity documents may be processed by a third-party verification provider working on phw999's behalf under a data processing agreement.
• Fraud prevention and security: We may share data with fraud detection services to protect the platform and its players from unauthorised activity.
• Legal obligations: If required by applicable Philippine law or a valid legal process, phw999 may disclose personal data to relevant authorities. We will only do so to the extent required and permitted by law.
• Business operations: Technical service providers such as hosting, analytics, and IT support may have limited access to platform data as part of their contracted role. All such providers are required to handle data securely and only for the purposes for which they were engaged.

5. How Long We Keep Your Data

phw999 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period after account closure as required by applicable record-keeping obligations. In general:

• Account and identity information is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum period after closure to satisfy regulatory and audit requirements.
• Transaction records are kept for the period required under Philippine financial regulations.
• KYC documents are stored securely and retained in line with anti-money laundering and compliance requirements.
• Technical logs such as login history and IP data are typically retained for a shorter period and are used primarily for security and fraud investigations.

When data is no longer needed and retention obligations have been met, it is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you.

6. How We Protect Your Data

phw999 uses a combination of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These include:

• SSL encryption on all data transmitted between your device and the phw999 platform.
• Encrypted storage for sensitive account and financial data at rest.
• Access controls that limit who within the phw999 team can view personal account data, based on role and necessity.
• OTP (one-time password) verification for sensitive account actions such as login from a new device or withdrawal requests.
• Regular security reviews of platform infrastructure and data handling processes.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong password, do not share your login credentials, and contact support immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

phw999 uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work properly and to improve your experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit the website.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for core platform functions such as keeping you logged in and maintaining your session securely.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use the platform so we can improve performance and usability. Data collected through analytics is aggregated and not linked to individual identities.
• Security cookies: Used to detect unusual activity and protect against fraud and unauthorised access.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or behavioural tracking outside of phw999.
