phuwin Privacy Policy

1 Overview & Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the phuwin website located at phuwin.cam, as well as any associated mobile applications, promotional landing pages, customer support channels, and affiliated services operated by phuwin Casino Philippines. It governs the collection, storage, processing, and disclosure of personal data that you provide to us or that we collect automatically during your use of the Services.

phuwin is registered and operates under a license issued by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), which requires us to maintain robust data protection standards consistent with Philippine law. Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) ensures ongoing compliance with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) regulations.

This policy does not cover third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from our platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through phuwin, as their practices may differ from ours.

10 International Data Transfers

phuwin primarily processes and stores your personal data within the Philippines. However, some of our technology service providers — such as cloud infrastructure providers and software-as-a-service platforms — may operate data centers in other countries, which could result in your personal data being processed outside of the Philippines.

When such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:

• Contractual data processing agreements that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those under RA 10173.
• Transfers only to countries or organizations that provide an adequate level of data protection as assessed by the National Privacy Commission.
• Technical security measures ensuring your data remains protected during and after transfer.

For more information about the specific safeguards applicable to your data transfers, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
