3. How We Use Your Data

bnw55 processes your personal data for the following purposes:

• Verifying your identity and eligibility to use the bnw55 platform, including confirmation that you are 21 years of age or older as required by PAGCOR
• Creating and administering your bnw55 account and providing access to all platform services
• Processing deposits, withdrawals, and all financial transactions on the platform
• Complying with PAGCOR licensing obligations, AMLA reporting requirements, and all applicable Philippine gaming regulations
• Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities
• Monitoring responsible gaming compliance, including identifying problem gambling patterns and administering self-exclusion requests
• Communicating with you regarding your account, transactions, platform updates, and security alerts
• Sending promotional communications where you have given consent, and in compliance with applicable direct marketing laws
• Improving the bnw55 platform through analysis of aggregated, anonymised usage data
• Resolving disputes, enforcing the bnw55 Terms & Conditions, and defending legal claims

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, bnw55 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contract performance: Processing necessary to fulfil the bnw55 account agreement with you, including account creation, transaction processing, and customer support
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with PAGCOR regulations, AMLA obligations, tax laws, and other applicable Philippine legislation
• Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring — where these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights
• Consent: Processing for direct marketing communications, where you have provided explicit, freely given, and revocable consent

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

bnw55 does not sell your personal data. We share personal data only in the following circumstances:

• Regulated service providers: Payment processors (GCash/Maya infrastructure, banking partners), identity verification providers, game studios supplying content to bnw55, cloud infrastructure providers, and fraud detection services — all operating under binding data processing agreements
• PAGCOR: As required under bnw55's gaming licence, certain player and transaction data is reported to PAGCOR in the format and frequency required by our licence conditions
• Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC): Suspicious Transaction Reports and Currency Transaction Reports filed as required under Republic Act No. 9160 (AMLA), as amended
• Philippine law enforcement and courts: In response to a valid court order, subpoena, or lawful request from a Philippine government authority
• Corporate transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Policy

6. International Data Transfers

bnw55's primary data infrastructure is hosted within the Philippines or in jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection as determined by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). Where personal data is transferred to processors outside the Philippines — such as global cloud infrastructure providers — bnw55 ensures such transfers are governed by contractual mechanisms that provide protections equivalent to those required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

7. Data Retention

bnw55 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, subject to the following minimum retention periods:

• Account and KYC records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR and AMLA record-keeping obligations
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction
• Support communications: Retained for three (3) years unless required for longer periods in connection with an unresolved dispute
• Technical and log data: Retained for twelve (12) months for security and fraud analysis purposes

Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

bnw55 uses the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for authentication, session management, and security functions. These cannot be disabled without disrupting core platform functionality.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and last-used payment method to improve your experience across sessions.
• Analytics cookies: First-party analytics tracking page performance, error rates, and aggregated usage patterns to improve the bnw55 platform. No third-party analytics providers with cross-site tracking capabilities are used.

bnw55 does not use advertising cookies or share cookie data with advertising networks. You may manage or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the platform.

9. Your Rights Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act

As a data subject under Republic Act No. 10173, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by bnw55:

To exercise any of these rights, contact bnw55 support via live chat or email. We will respond within fifteen (15) business days. Identity verification may be required before processing your request. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

10. Children's Privacy

The bnw55 platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and older, as required by PAGCOR. bnw55 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will immediately close the relevant account, return any funds to the extent permissible by law, and delete all associated personal data. If you believe a minor has registered on bnw55, please notify us immediately via support.

11. Security Measures

bnw55 implements organisational and technical security measures proportionate to the sensitivity of the personal data we process. These include:

• 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit between your device and bnw55 servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest, including KYC documents and payment information
• Role-based access controls restricting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Multi-factor authentication for all internal systems with access to personal data
• Regular third-party security audits and penetration testing of the bnw55 platform
• A documented data breach response plan with NPC notification procedures where required by law

Notwithstanding the above, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are responsible for maintaining the security of their own bnw55 login credentials and devices.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

bnw55 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory requirements, or platform functionality. Material changes will be communicated to registered players via email to the address on file and/or via an in-platform notification at least seven (7) days before taking effect. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Continued use of the bnw55 platform after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

13. Contact & Data Protection Officer
