Winbox Privacy Policy — What Happens to Your Data When You Play
This Privacy Policy explains how Winbox collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players in the Philippines. We are committed to handling your data responsibly, in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and all applicable Philippine regulations. By registering and using our platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy.
Last updated: 2025. This policy applies to all players accessing Winbox from the Philippines.
What This Policy Covers
A straightforward breakdown of how Winbox handles your personal information — from the moment you register to every transaction you make on our platform.
1. Information We Collect
When you create a Winbox account, we collect personal details such as your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and proof of identity required for verification under Philippine law. We also collect transaction data including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, and payment method details to process your account activity in Philippine pesos. Technical data such as your device type, IP address, browser version, and session timestamps are gathered automatically to maintain platform security and improve the mobile experience for Filipino players. Behavioural data — including which games you play, how long you play, and your betting patterns — is collected to help us personalise your experience and meet our responsible gaming obligations. All information collected is the minimum necessary to provide you with a safe, legal, and enjoyable platform experience in the Philippines.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your personal data is used primarily to operate and maintain your Winbox account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and ensure that you are eligible to use our platform under Philippine regulations. We use identity and age verification data to confirm that all players meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old, as required by law. Transaction records allow us to investigate and resolve any payment disputes quickly and accurately, protecting both the player and the platform. Behavioural and technical data helps our team identify and prevent fraudulent activity, protect account security, and improve the overall reliability of the Winbox mobile platform. We may also use your contact details to send you account-related notifications, important service updates, and — where you have opted in — information about promotions available to players in the Philippines.
3. Sharing of Personal Data
Winbox does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes — this is a firm commitment to every player in the Philippines. We may share your data with regulated payment processors and financial institutions solely for the purpose of completing your deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and all such partners are bound by strict data processing agreements. In limited circumstances, we are legally required to disclose player information to Philippine government authorities, regulators, or law enforcement agencies when presented with a lawful request or court order. Third-party service providers who assist us with platform operations — such as identity verification, customer support tools, and analytics — only receive the data they need to perform their specific function, and they are contractually prohibited from using it for any other purpose. Any international transfer of personal data is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and only to countries or organisations that provide an adequate level of data protection.
4. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed about how your personal data is collected and used, and this policy is part of how Winbox fulfils that obligation. You have the right to access a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and you may request corrections if any of that information is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You may also request the erasure or blocking of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, subject to any legal retention obligations that apply to regulated gaming platforms in the Philippines. If you believe that your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the support email address listed on this page, and we will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable Philippine law.
5. Data Security Measures
Winbox applies a combination of technical, organisational, and administrative security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and the Winbox platform is encrypted using industry-standard protocols, ensuring that your account details and transaction information remain private during every session. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis, and staff who handle player information are trained in data privacy obligations under Philippine law. We conduct regular internal reviews of our security practices and update our systems to address emerging threats, with a particular focus on the mobile browsing environment that most Filipino players use. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, Winbox will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as required by the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your Winbox account remains active and for as long as necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in the Philippines, including anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements. Transaction records are kept for a minimum period as required by applicable Philippine law, even after an account is closed, in order to support audits, investigations, or legal proceedings if they arise. Behavioural and analytics data that cannot be linked back to an individual player may be retained in anonymised form for longer periods for research and product improvement purposes. Once the applicable retention period expires and there is no legal basis to continue holding your data, Winbox will securely delete or anonymise your personal information. If you request the deletion of your account and data before the end of the standard retention period, we will process your request to the extent permitted by law and inform you of any data we are legally required to retain.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Winbox reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable Philippine law, or regulatory requirements. The most current version of this policy will always be available on this page, with the date of the last update shown at the top. Where changes are significant, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered players in the Philippines through the contact details held on their account, though it remains your responsibility to check this page periodically. Continued use of the Winbox platform after a revised policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any changes to this policy, please stop using the platform and contact our support team to discuss your options, including account closure if appropriate.
Questions Filipino Players Ask About Their Privacy
Quick answers to the most common data privacy questions from Winbox players in the Philippines.
No — Winbox does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes, and this applies to all players in the Philippines. Your data is used exclusively to operate your account, process transactions in Philippine pesos, comply with Philippine legal requirements, and improve the platform experience. We only share data with regulated service providers who assist in delivering our platform services, and they are bound by strict data processing agreements that prohibit any secondary use of your information. Any sharing required by Philippine law — such as disclosures to regulators or law enforcement — is done only in response to lawful requests, not as a matter of routine. If you ever have a concern about how your data has been shared, you can reach our support team at the email address shown at the bottom of this page.
You can submit a data access or deletion request by contacting the Winbox support team at the email address listed at the bottom of this page, clearly stating your full name, registered email address, and the nature of your request. Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, we are required to respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe, and we will inform you of the steps we are taking and any limitations that apply. Access requests will result in a summary of the personal information we hold about you, while deletion requests will be processed to the extent permitted by law — some data may need to be retained to comply with anti-money laundering and regulatory obligations applicable to licensed gaming platforms in the Philippines. If you are requesting the deletion of an active account, our team will guide you through the account closure process at the same time. All requests are handled with strict confidentiality and in accordance with the principles of the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
Yes — all payment transactions on Winbox are processed through encrypted, secure connections, and your financial data is never stored in a form that could be accessed by unauthorised parties. We work exclusively with regulated payment providers that handle Philippine pesos transactions and are themselves subject to the data security requirements of Philippine financial regulations. Winbox does not store full payment card numbers or full bank account details on our servers — only the reference information required to process your transactions is retained. If you have any concerns about a specific transaction or notice any unusual account activity, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action. The security of your financial information is one of our highest priorities, and we continuously review and strengthen our payment security practices to keep pace with industry standards.
Winbox uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep your session active, remember your preferences, and help us understand how Filipino players use our platform so we can continue improving it. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to function correctly — without them, features like login sessions and account navigation would not work. Analytics cookies help us measure which pages and features are most useful to players in the Philippines, and this data is processed in an anonymised or aggregated form wherever possible. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, though disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of your Winbox account. For more detail on the specific cookies we use and their purposes, please contact our support team using the email address at the bottom of this page.
When you close your Winbox account, we begin the process of removing or anonymising your personal data in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable Philippine law. However, certain records — particularly transaction histories, identity verification documents, and account activity logs — must be retained for a legally mandated minimum period to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and the requirements of Philippine gaming regulators. During this retention period, your data will not be used for any marketing or operational purposes and access will be restricted to authorised personnel only. Once the mandatory retention period has passed, any remaining personal data linked to your closed account will be securely and permanently deleted. If you have questions about what specific data is being retained after your account closure, you can submit a data access request to our support team and we will provide a clear breakdown.
