Our Privacy Commitments to You

Six ways StarPHWin keeps your data secure and your trust intact.

End-to-End Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected with 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by major Philippine banks.

DPA 2012 Compliant

StarPHWin fully complies with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Your rights as a Filipino data subject are respected at every step.

No Data Selling

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. What you share with StarPHWin stays with StarPHWin.

Minimal Data Collection

We only collect information that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process payments, and comply with legal obligations. Nothing more.

You're in Control

You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting our support team. Your data, your call.

Opt-Out of Marketing

Not into promos? You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time — through your account settings or by contacting us directly.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how StarPHWin ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information you provide when you use the StarPHWin platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"). It applies to all registered players and visitors located in the Philippines.

At StarPHWin, we take your privacy seriously. We understand that trust is everything — and protecting your personal data is a core part of that trust. This policy is written in plain language so you know exactly what's going on with your information, walang hidden agendas.

Note: By registering a StarPHWin account or continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein.

Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and can be reached at support@starphwin.best. If you have any concerns about how your data is being handled, you can raise them directly with our DPO.

StarPHWin collects your personal data through the following channels:

  • Direct submission: When you register an account, fill out forms, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact support, or participate in promotions.
  • Automated collection: Through cookies, log files, and similar technologies when you browse and use the Platform. See Section 7 for more on cookies.
  • Third-party providers: From payment processors (such as GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI), identity verification services, and fraud prevention partners — only to the extent necessary to operate your account safely.
  • Referrals: If a friend refers you to StarPHWin, we may receive your contact information from them as part of the referral process. You will be notified when your account is created.

We use your personal information for the following purposes, all of which are grounded in a lawful basis under the Data Privacy Act of 2012:

  • Account management: To create, maintain, and secure your StarPHWin account.
  • Transaction processing: To process your deposits, withdrawals, and record your gaming activity accurately.

  • Marketing communications: To send you promotions, bonuses, and news about StarPHWin — only where you have explicitly opted in. You can opt out at any time.
Legal basis: We process your data on the basis of contractual necessity (to operate your account), legal obligation (to comply with Philippine law), legitimate interest (to prevent fraud and improve the Platform), and — for marketing — your explicit consent.

6. Sharing Your Personal Data

StarPHWin does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Platform — including payment processors (GCash, Maya, banks), KYC verification providers, cloud hosting services, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the specific purpose we have engaged them for.

6.2 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose your personal information to Philippine government agencies, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies where required by law — for example, as part of anti-money laundering compliance, fraud investigations, or gaming regulation audits.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your personal data may be transferred to the new entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

6.4 With Your Consent

In any other circumstances, we will only share your data with third parties if you have given your explicit, informed consent.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

StarPHWin uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on the Platform, keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and analyse how the site is used. Here's a breakdown of the cookie types we use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function. Without these, features like logging in and placing bets wouldn't work. These cannot be disabled.
  • Performance cookies: Help us understand how players use the Platform — which pages are popular, where errors occur, and how we can improve. No personally identifiable information is stored.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and whether you've accepted our cookie notice.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to show you relevant promotions and track the effectiveness of our campaigns. These are only set with your consent.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling some cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. For more details, refer to your browser's help documentation.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with our legal obligations. Specifically:

  • Account and identity data is kept for a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, in line with Philippine anti-money laundering requirements.
  • Transaction records are retained for at least five (5) years for audit and regulatory compliance purposes.
  • Marketing data is retained until you withdraw your consent or request deletion, whichever comes first.
  • Technical and usage logs are typically retained for twelve (12) months and then anonymised or deleted.

When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it so it can no longer be linked back to you.

9. Security Measures

We take the security of your personal data seriously. StarPHWin implements a range of technical and organisational security measures, including:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
  • Secure, access-controlled servers hosted in compliant data centres.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent security professionals.
  • Strict internal access controls — only authorised staff with a need-to-know can access personal data.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) options for player accounts.
  • Automated systems to detect and flag suspicious login attempts, unusual transactions, and other security events.

Despite all these measures, no system is 100% invulnerable. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within the timeframe required by Philippine law.

Your role in security: Please keep your StarPHWin password strong and unique, enable 2FA if available, and never share your login credentials with anyone — not even with people claiming to be from StarPHWin support.

10. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information held by StarPHWin. We honour all of these rights — no questions asked.

Right to be Informed
Right to Access
Right to Correct
Right to Erasure
Right to Object
Right to Portability
Right to Block/Restrict
Right to Complain

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at support@starphwin.best with the subject line "Data Subject Request." We will respond within 15 business days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

11. Minors

StarPHWin is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If we discover that a minor has registered an account, we will immediately suspend the account, delete all associated personal data, and void any transactions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created a StarPHWin account, please contact us immediately at support@starphwin.best so we can take prompt action.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

StarPHWin may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on the Platform at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.

The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect when the current version was published. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes take effect means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
