This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how win3max ("we", "us", or "the Platform"), the operator of the online gaming platform at win3max.vip, collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of players and visitors in the Philippines. Win3max operates under a license issued by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation ("PAGCOR") and complies with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By registering for or using the win3max Platform, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.
Introduction
Win3max recognizes that your personal information belongs to you and that you have a right to know how it is handled. This Policy is designed to give you a clear, complete, and honest account of win3max's data practices — what we collect, why we collect it, who sees it, how long we keep it, and what you can do about it. We have written this Policy to comply with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and to reflect the specific operational context of a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming platform serving Filipino players.
Win3max's ability to operate a licensed gaming platform in the Philippines requires us to collect certain personal data as a matter of regulatory obligation — including identity verification for KYC compliance and transaction records for anti-money laundering purposes. Beyond these regulatory requirements, we collect only what is operationally necessary to deliver and improve the win3max service. We do not collect personal data for the purpose of selling it, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

Sharing Your Personal Data
Win3max does not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to any third party. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

Win3max works with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist in the operation and delivery of the Platform. These providers are granted access to Personal Data only to the extent necessary for the specific service they provide, and they are contractually bound by data processing agreements that require them to: process data only on win3max's instructions; maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures; and not disclose or use Personal Data for any purpose other than the contracted service.
Categories of third-party service providers used by win3max include: cloud hosting and infrastructure providers; identity verification and KYC solution providers; payment gateway operators; customer support software providers; and responsible gaming technology providers.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The win3max Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate effectively, enhance your experience, and gather aggregated usage analytics. The types of cookies used by win3max are as follows:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function — these enable login session management, security features, and core platform functionality. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impairing Platform operation.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, display options, and game history to personalize your experience on return visits.
- Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymized data about how the Platform is used — pages visited, session length, device types — to help win3max improve the service. This data does not identify individual users.
- Security Cookies: Used for fraud detection and prevention purposes, including identifying suspicious login patterns and unusual account activity.
You may manage non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Platform features. Win3max does not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioral profiling cookies for the purpose of serving targeted advertising.
Data Security
Win3max implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the win3max Platform
- Encryption of Personal Data stored in our databases, including passwords stored using one-way cryptographic hashing
- Role-based access controls limiting visibility of Personal Data to authorized personnel who have a legitimate operational need
- Regular security vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of Platform infrastructure
- Multi-factor authentication requirements for all win3max internal systems that handle player data
- Incident response procedures for detecting, containing, and reporting data security breaches in accordance with NPC notification requirements
Notwithstanding these measures, no internet transmission or digital storage system can be guaranteed absolutely secure. Win3max encourages you to protect your own account by using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication on your win3max account. You are also advised not to access your win3max account over unsecured public Wi-Fi networks.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, win3max will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected Data Subjects without undue delay, as required by Philippine law.
Data Retention
Win3max retains your Personal Data for as long as your account remains active and for a minimum period following account closure, as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | PAGCOR regulatory requirement |
| KYC identity documents | 5 years after account closure | AMLA and PAGCOR requirement |
| Transaction and betting records | 5 years after the transaction date | AMLA reporting obligation |
| Customer support records | 3 years after last interaction | Legitimate interest / dispute resolution |
| Technical and usage logs | 12 months rolling | Security and fraud prevention |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | Compliance with consent obligations |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted from win3max's active systems or irreversibly anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.
