05 Legal Basis for Processing
wagiph processes your personal data on the following legal bases under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and applicable PAGCOR regulations:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and wagiph — i.e., to operate your account, process transactions, and deliver gaming services.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with wagiph's obligations under Philippine law, including PAGCOR licensing conditions, AML/CFT regulations, and tax reporting requirements.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is in wagiph's legitimate interest where it does not override your rights — for example, fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring.
- Consent: For optional data uses such as marketing communications, wagiph relies on your freely given, specific, and informed consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
06 Sharing Your Personal Data
wagiph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your data only with the following categories of recipients, and only to the extent necessary for each stated purpose:

These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and data processing agreements consistent with the Data Privacy Act.
- Payment Processors: GCash, PayMaya, and participating Philippine banks receive only the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
- Game Software Providers: Licensed game developers whose platforms power specific wagiph games may receive anonymised session and wagering data for game integrity and RTP auditing purposes. No personally identifiable information is shared with game providers without your consent.
- IT Infrastructure and Cloud Service Providers: wagiph uses third-party hosting and cloud providers operating under data processing agreements that prohibit the use of wagiph player data for any purpose other than providing the contracted infrastructure services.
- Fraud Prevention and Cybersecurity Partners: Specialist security firms that assist wagiph in detecting suspicious activity, preventing account compromise, and maintaining platform integrity.
No Sale of Data: wagiph strictly prohibits the sale, licensing, or commercial transfer of your personal data to any third-party advertiser, data broker, or marketing company. This prohibition applies regardless of the form of consideration offered and is not subject to exception.
07 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
wagiph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform for the following purposes:
7.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as session management, login authentication, and security token validation. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impairing your ability to use the Platform.
7.2 Analytics Cookies
wagiph uses analytics cookies to understand how players interact with the Platform — for example, which games are most popular, how long players spend on particular pages, and where technical errors occur. This data is collected in aggregated and anonymised form and is used solely to improve the Platform experience.
7.3 Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your platform preferences — such as your selected language, display settings, and responsible gaming limit configurations — so that you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
7.4 Fraud Prevention Cookies
wagiph uses cookies to identify and flag unusual device or session behaviour that may indicate fraudulent activity, account compromise, or bot automation. These cookies are part of wagiph's security infrastructure and operate continuously during active sessions.
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling analytics or preference cookies will not affect your ability to use the Platform's core gaming features, but may result in a less personalised experience.
08 Data Retention
wagiph retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy and to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
- Transaction and wagering records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, as required by Philippine financial regulations.
- KYC documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
- Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction, for dispute resolution and quality assurance purposes.
- Analytics and usage data: Retained in anonymised, aggregated form indefinitely for platform improvement purposes; individually identifiable usage data is retained for up to two (2) years.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as you remain opted in plus two (2) years following an opt-out, to demonstrate compliance with consent requirements.
When personal data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and the applicable retention period has expired, wagiph will securely delete or anonymise the data in accordance with its internal data disposal procedures.
09 Data Security
wagiph implements a comprehensive range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption: All personal data transmitted between your device and the wagiph Platform is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Sensitive data stored on wagiph's servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption;
- Access Controls: Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorised wagiph personnel and third-party processors who require it to perform their designated functions. Role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication are enforced for all internal system access;
- Regular Security Testing: wagiph conducts regular penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security audits of the Platform's infrastructure;
- Incident Response: wagiph maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, wagiph will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and affected players in accordance with the timelines prescribed under the Data Privacy Act.
While wagiph takes robust measures to secure your personal data, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security against all threats. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — please use a strong, unique password, enable two-factor authentication where available, and never share your login credentials with anyone.
10 Your Privacy Rights

wagiph will respond to verified privacy rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt.

If you are not satisfied with wagiph's response to your privacy rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
11 Children's Privacy and Age Restriction
The wagiph Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, as required under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. wagiph does not knowingly collect, process, or retain the personal data of individuals under the age of 21.
During the registration process, wagiph requires all new players to confirm that they meet the minimum age requirement. wagiph further verifies age as part of the mandatory KYC process prior to authorising any withdrawal. Where wagiph discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe that an Account has been created by or on behalf of an individual who does not meet the minimum age requirement, wagiph will:
- Immediately suspend and permanently close the Account;
- Void all pending and historical wagers placed from the Account;
- Return any remaining real money balance to the payment method used for deposit, subject to verification;
- Delete all personal data associated with the underage Account as soon as is legally permissible;
- Report the matter to PAGCOR in accordance with its regulatory requirements.
Age Restriction — 21+ Only: If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on wagiph, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and will act without delay upon receiving such a report.
12 International Data Transfers
wagiph is a Philippines-based platform serving Filipino players, and the majority of personal data processing takes place within the Philippines. However, certain third-party service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers, KYC verification partners, and game software suppliers — may process data in jurisdictions outside the Philippines.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, wagiph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. These safeguards include:
- Data processing agreements incorporating the standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission;
- Transfers only to jurisdictions or organisations that the NPC has recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection;
- Binding corporate rules or equivalent mechanisms where transfers are made to affiliated entities.
You may request further information about the specific safeguards applicable to any international transfer of your personal data by contacting wagiph's Data Protection Officer via live chat.
13 Changes to This Privacy Policy
wagiph reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, or our data processing practices. The date on which the current version of this Policy was last updated is displayed at the top of this page.
Where changes are material — meaning they affect your rights or the fundamental ways in which wagiph uses your personal data — wagiph will notify registered players by email to the address on file and by posting a prominent notice on the Platform at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect.
For non-material changes (such as clarifications of existing practices, corrections of typographical errors, or minor structural updates), the updated Policy will be published on this page without prior notice. Your continued use of the Platform following publication of any updated Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes.
