winhq.gg is strictly an adult gaming platform. In the Philippines, the minimum legal age for casino-style gambling is 21 years old. winhq.gg does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

During registration, all applicants are required to confirm that they are 21 years of age or older and to provide a valid government-issued Philippine ID for age verification. If winhq.gg discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, the account will be immediately closed, all associated data will be deleted, and any funds will be handled in accordance with applicable regulations.

winhq.gg primarily processes and stores personal data within the Philippines. In some cases, data may be transferred to or processed by service providers located outside the Philippines — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or international KYC verification services.

Where such transfers occur, winhq.gg ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:

• Contractual clauses that require the recipient to provide a level of data protection equivalent to the Philippine Data Privacy Act
• Transfers only to jurisdictions that the National Privacy Commission has recognized as providing adequate data protection
• Your explicit consent where required by applicable law

You may request information about the specific safeguards applied to international transfers of your personal data by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

winhq.gg may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable Philippine law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via email or a prominent notice on the platform prior to the changes taking effect.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made. Your continued use of the winhq.gg platform following the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how winhq.gg protects your personal data.
