7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Winph3 platform uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies to improve your experience, maintain session security, and collect usage analytics. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function, including keeping you logged in during a session and remembering your in-game settings. These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.
- Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised data about how players use the Winph3 platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where users encounter issues. This data helps us improve the product.
- Security cookies: Used to detect unusual activity such as login attempts from new devices or locations, helping protect your account.
- Preference cookies: Used to remember your language settings, notification preferences, and other personalisation choices.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to use key platform features. Winph3 does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies for retargeting purposes on external websites.
8. Data Retention
Winph3 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
- Account data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, in accordance with Philippine financial recordkeeping requirements.
- Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and tax obligations.
- KYC and identity documents: Retained for the duration of your account relationship and for a period thereafter as required by law.
- Customer support records: Retained for three (3) years after the resolution of the relevant support interaction.
- Technical and usage logs: Typically retained for up to twelve (12) months, after which anonymised aggregated data may be retained for longer-term analytics.
When data is no longer needed and no legal retention obligation applies, Winph3 securely deletes or anonymises the data.
9. Security Measures
Winph3 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or mobile device and the Winph3 platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): Winph3 supports two-factor authentication for account login, providing an additional layer of protection beyond your password.
- Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to Winph3 staff who have a legitimate need to access it as part of their job function. All access is logged and audited.
- Regular security audits: Winph3 conducts regular internal and third-party security reviews to identify and address vulnerabilities in our systems.
- Data breach response: In the event of a personal data breach, Winph3 will notify affected data subjects and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) in accordance with the timelines required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
