At bwenas, your privacy matters. This page explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and what rights you have as a player based in the Philippines. Please read this carefully before using the platform.
When you register an account on bwenas, we collect personal information that is necessary to verify your identity and provide you with a safe, compliant gaming experience in the Philippines. This includes your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and mobile number. During the verification process, we may also request a government-issued ID such as a Philippine passport, driver's licence, or SSS card to confirm your eligibility. When you make deposits or request withdrawals, transaction details including payment method information and amounts are recorded as part of our financial compliance obligations. We also collect technical data such as your device type, browser, IP address, and session activity to help us maintain platform security and improve performance. All information collected is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel with a legitimate need. You are responsible for ensuring that the personal details you provide are accurate and kept up to date.
The personal data we collect is used primarily to operate your account, process transactions, and deliver the entertainment services available on the bwenas platform. We use your identity information to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and anti-money laundering regulations that apply to licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. Your contact details may be used to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our terms or policies. With your consent, we may also send you promotional communications about platform features, new game categories, or deposit offers — you can opt out of these at any time through your account settings. Technical and usage data helps us analyse platform performance, identify and fix issues, and improve the overall experience for players on mobile and desktop. We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions that would significantly affect your account without human review. All data processing activities are carried out in accordance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines.
bwenas does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and technology infrastructure providers — but only to the extent necessary to perform those services. All third-party partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and in line with applicable Philippine data privacy regulations. In certain circumstances, we may be legally required to disclose your information to government authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies in the Philippines if compelled by a valid legal order. If bwenas undergoes a business restructuring or acquisition, your data may be transferred as part of that process, and you will be notified in advance where required by law. We do not share your data with other players or make your personal details publicly visible on the platform. Any disclosure beyond what is described here will only occur with your explicit prior consent.
As a player based in the Philippines, you have specific rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 regarding the personal information we hold about you. You have the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used, and to access a copy of the personal information we hold on your account at any time. If any of your details are inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request a correction, and we will update our records promptly upon verification. You may also request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations. If you believe your data privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details provided on this page, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We are committed to handling all data subject requests with transparency, fairness, and respect.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by our legal, regulatory, and financial compliance obligations in the Philippines. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure in line with anti-money laundering requirements. Once the applicable retention period has passed, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you. bwenas uses industry-standard security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Our staff who handle personal data are trained on data privacy obligations and are bound by confidentiality agreements. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine authorities as required by law. If you have concerns about the security of your account, please contact our support team immediately.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable laws and regulations in the Philippines. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players through the platform or by email before the updated policy takes effect. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated effective date, and your continued use of the platform after that date constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always aware of how your personal information is being handled. If you do not agree with any changes to this policy, you should stop using the platform and contact us to request account closure. For any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out to our support team at support at bwenas.org. We are here to help and will respond to all privacy-related enquiries as promptly as possible.
