5. How We Share Your Information

winhq does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we may share your information with the following categories of recipients under strict confidentiality obligations:

5.1 Service Providers

We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, including payment processing (GCash, PayMaya, banks), identity verification, KYC/AML screening, data hosting and storage, customer support software, email delivery services, and analytics platforms. These service providers have access to your personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their services and are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for authorized purposes.

5.2 Game Providers

We work with licensed game providers (JILI, Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, and others) to offer casino games, slots, and live dealer experiences. These providers may receive limited information about your gaming activity to deliver their games and ensure fair play, but they do not have access to your personally identifiable account information without your consent.

5.3 Regulatory Authorities

We are required to share certain information with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the National Privacy Commission, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), and other government agencies to comply with licensing requirements, reporting obligations, and regulatory investigations.

5.4 Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose your personal information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with legal process such as court orders, subpoenas, or warrants; (b) enforce our Terms & Conditions and other agreements; (c) respond to claims that your use of the Platform violates third-party rights; (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of winhq, our users, or the public; or (e) detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, security breaches, or other illegal activity.

5.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy involving winhq, your personal information may be transferred to a successor entity as part of the transaction, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Privacy Policy.

6. Data Retention

winhq retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Specifically:

Active Accounts: Personal information associated with active accounts is retained for the duration of your relationship with winhq and for up to seven (7) years after account closure, as required by PAGCOR regulations and anti-money laundering laws.
Transaction Records: Financial transaction data (deposits, withdrawals, bets, payouts) is retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of transaction to comply with tax reporting and auditing requirements.
Identity Verification Documents: Copies of government-issued IDs and proof of address are retained for the life of your account plus seven (7) years after closure for regulatory compliance purposes.
Marketing Communications: If you consent to receive marketing emails, we retain your contact information until you withdraw consent by unsubscribing, after which we will retain a suppression record to honor your opt-out preference.

After the applicable retention period expires, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information in accordance with data protection best practices. In some cases, we may retain anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes, provided such data cannot be used to identify you personally.

7. Data Security Measures

winhq implements industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security practices include:

Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption protocols to prevent interception by third parties.
Access Controls: Access to personal information is restricted to authorized employees and contractors who require such access to perform their job functions, and all personnel are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
Secure Data Storage: Personal information is stored on secure servers located in data centers with physical security controls including 24/7 monitoring, biometric access controls, and redundant backup systems.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We offer optional two-factor authentication for your account to provide an additional layer of security beyond your password.
Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo regular security audits and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent third-party security firms to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.
Incident Response: In the event of a data breach or security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours as required by the Data Privacy Act, and take immediate steps to mitigate harm.

While we strive to protect your personal information using reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and should notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
