crowdwin respects the privacy of every Filipino player who creates an account or visits our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have over your own information under applicable Philippine law — including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
Six core principles that define how we handle your personal information across every part of the crowdwin platform.
All data transmitted between your device and crowdwin's servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS/SSL protocols. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are never sent in plain text.
Your personal data is stored on access-controlled servers. crowdwin applies strict internal access controls — only personnel who genuinely need access to specific data categories to do their jobs are granted that access.
crowdwin does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Your information is used to operate your account, comply with legal obligations, and improve your crowdwin experience — nothing else.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to access, correct, erase, and object to processing of your personal data. crowdwin provides clear channels for exercising each of these rights without unnecessary delay.
crowdwin does not hold your personal data indefinitely. Retention periods are tied to specific legal obligations and operational necessity. Data no longer required for these purposes is securely deleted or anonymized.
In the unlikely event of a data security breach that affects your personal information, crowdwin will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within the timeframes required under Philippine law.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by crowdwin ("crowdwin," "we," "us," "our") and applies to all personal data collected from individuals ("you," "Player," "User") who access the crowdwin website at crowdwin.app, create a Player Account, use any crowdwin game or service, or otherwise interact with the crowdwin platform in any capacity.
This Policy is written in accordance with the Republic of the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC). By creating a crowdwin Account or continuing to use the Platform after this Policy has been made available to you, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.
This Policy should be read in conjunction with crowdwin's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are published on this Platform. Where any conflict arises between this Policy and those documents in respect of personal data matters, this Privacy Policy shall prevail.
This Policy covers all personal data processing activities carried out by crowdwin in connection with the Platform. It does not cover the privacy practices of third-party game providers, payment processors, or other external services linked to or accessible from the crowdwin Platform. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies.
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, crowdwin acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) in respect of all personal data collected from Players using the Platform. In this capacity, crowdwin determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is responsible for ensuring that such processing is carried out in compliance with applicable data protection law.
Certain third-party service providers engaged by crowdwin — including payment processors, identity verification services, and game software providers — may process personal data on crowdwin's behalf. These parties act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) and are contractually bound to process your data only in accordance with crowdwin's documented instructions and in compliance with applicable Philippine data protection standards.
crowdwin has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing data protection compliance. The DPO can be contacted through the support contact information provided in Section 16 of this Policy.
crowdwin collects the following categories of personal data from Players in the course of providing its services:
Government-issued ID numbers and biometric data (where collected) qualify as sensitive personal information under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. crowdwin processes this category of data only to the extent strictly necessary for legal compliance, specifically for age verification and identity authentication required under applicable gaming and AML regulations.

| Collection Method | Data Categories Collected | When |

crowdwin applies a data minimization principle: we only collect personal data that is genuinely necessary for the purposes stated above. We do not collect personal data speculatively or for undefined future use.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, crowdwin processes your personal data on the following legal bases:
crowdwin uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the Platform functions correctly, to maintain your login session, and to gather analytics data that helps us improve the Platform experience. The following types of cookies are used:
crowdwin does not use cookies for the purpose of serving advertisements on third-party websites, and does not share cookie data with advertising networks. You may configure your browser to reject non-essential cookies, though doing so may affect certain Platform features including auto-login functionality.
crowdwin does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your personal data with third parties only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
crowdwin will never sell, rent, or otherwise monetize your personal data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing platforms. Any sharing described above is strictly operational, legal, or regulatory in nature.
crowdwin's primary data infrastructure is located in secure data centers serving the Asia-Pacific region. In the course of providing Platform services, certain personal data may be transferred to or accessed by service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, certain game providers or technology infrastructure partners.
Where such international transfers occur, crowdwin ensures that they are conducted in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act. Specifically, crowdwin implements one or more of the following safeguards for international data transfers:
You may request information about the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer of your personal data by contacting crowdwin's Data Protection Officer as described in Section 16 of this Policy.
crowdwin retains your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following specific retention periods:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of Account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation (AML, gaming regulations) |
| KYC / identity documents | Duration of Account + 5 years after closure | AMLA and PAGCOR regulatory requirements |
| Financial transaction records | Duration of Account + 5 years after closure | Tax, AML, and gaming audit requirements |
| Gaming activity records | Duration of Account + 2 years after closure | Dispute resolution and regulatory audit |
| Customer support records | 3 years from date of interaction | Dispute resolution and service quality |
| Technical / session log data | 12 months from collection | Security monitoring and fraud prevention |
| Marketing preferences | Until opt-out or Account closure | Consent |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized. Anonymized data (from which you cannot be identified) may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by crowdwin. These rights can be exercised free of charge by contacting crowdwin as described in Section 16:
crowdwin will respond to all valid rights requests within thirty (30) days of receipt. In complex cases, this may be extended by a further thirty (30) days, in which case you will be notified of the extension and its reason within the initial thirty-day period.
The crowdwin Platform is strictly intended for persons aged 21 years and over, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. crowdwin does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the KYC process, and crowdwin implements age-gating measures at the point of registration.
If crowdwin becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age — whether through a false declaration at registration or any other means — it will immediately suspend the associated Account, void any pending transactions or balances in accordance with its Terms & Conditions, and delete all personal data associated with the underage individual's Account as soon as is practically possible.
If you are the parent or guardian of a person under 21 years of age who you believe has created a crowdwin Account without authorization, please contact crowdwin's support team immediately. We will act on such notifications promptly and without delay.
crowdwin may send you promotional communications — including bonus offers, new game announcements, and platform updates — via SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number and/or email, provided that you have given your consent to receive such communications. Consent to marketing is collected during Account registration and can be updated at any time via your Account Settings.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
Opting out of marketing communications will not affect your ability to receive transactional messages — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, OTP codes, or security alerts — which are operational in nature and essential to the management of your Account.
crowdwin implements a range of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include, without limitation:
While crowdwin takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account credentials and for notifying crowdwin immediately of any suspected unauthorized account access.
crowdwin may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or Platform operations. The "Effective Date" displayed at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version took effect.
Where changes to this Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or the way we process your personal data — crowdwin will provide at least fourteen (14) days' advance notice before the revised Policy takes effect, by posting a prominent notice on the Platform and, where practicable, by contacting you via your registered mobile number or email address.
For minor or administrative changes that do not materially affect your rights, the updated Policy will take effect upon publication on the Platform. Continued use of the crowdwin Platform after a revised Policy takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not accept a revised Policy, you should close your Account and discontinue use of the Platform.
We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how crowdwin protects your personal data. The most current version is always available on this page at crowdwin.app/privacy-policy.

crowdwin will acknowledge all privacy-related requests within 72 hours and will respond fully within 30 days, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
If you are not satisfied with crowdwin's response to a privacy complaint, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines, the regulatory authority responsible for enforcing the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The NPC's contact details and online complaint portal are available through Philippine government information channels.
