Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing carried out under the other bases listed above.
7 Disclosure of Personal Data
5bww does not sell personal data to third parties. Personal data is disclosed only in the following circumstances:
7.1 Service Providers
5bww engages trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements. These include: KYC and identity verification providers; payment processors (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank); cloud hosting and infrastructure providers; and customer support technology platforms. All service providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are permitted to use your data only for the specific services they provide to 5bww.
7.2 Regulatory Authorities

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of 5bww's assets, personal data held by 5bww may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to that entity assuming the same data protection obligations as 5bww.

No Sale of Data: 5bww does not sell, lease, or trade your personal data to advertising networks, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes unrelated to the operation of the 5bww Platform.
8 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
5bww uses cookies and similar technologies on the Platform for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly. These include session management cookies that keep you logged in during your visit. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and responsible gaming limit configurations. These improve your experience but are not essential to the core service.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated data about how players interact with the Platform, helping 5bww improve game performance, page load times, and user experience. Analytics data is processed in anonymized form where technically possible.
- Security Cookies: Support fraud detection, device fingerprinting (where applicable), and login anomaly detection to protect your account from unauthorized access.
You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent access to certain parts of the Platform. 5bww does not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies that share your data with external advertising networks.
9 Data Security
5bww implements a range of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and 5bww's servers;
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including KYC documents and financial records;
- Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis;
- Regular security vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of the Platform;
- Multi-factor authentication for internal systems that access player data;
- Incident response procedures for the detection, reporting, and remediation of data security incidents.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights and freedoms, 5bww will notify affected players and the National Privacy Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act and NPC Circular No. 16-03.
Your Responsibility: The security of your 5bww account also depends on you. 5bww strongly recommends using a unique, strong password for your account and enabling SMS two-factor authentication. Never share your login credentials with anyone, including persons claiming to be 5bww representatives.
10 Data Retention
5bww retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the stated purpose and to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents reconstruction of the original data.
11 Your Data Subject Rights
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 5bww:
Right to Access
You may request a copy of the personal data 5bww holds about you and information about how it is processed.
Right to Correction
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data in your 5bww account. Basic details can be updated via account settings; ID-related corrections require contacting support.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of personal data that is no longer necessary for its original purpose, subject to our legal retention obligations under PAGCOR and AMLA requirements.
Right to Object
You may object to processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time. Opt-out of marketing communications via your account notification settings or by contacting support.
Right to Data Portability
Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another controller.
Right to File a Complaint
If you believe 5bww has violated your rights under the DPA, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines after exhausting 5bww's internal resolution process.
To exercise any of the above rights, contact the 5bww Data Privacy Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Rights Request". 5bww will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and respond within 15 calendar days. Identity verification may be required before processing any rights request.
12 Minors and Underage Users
The 5bww Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, as required by PAGCOR's online gaming regulations for the Philippines. 5bww does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Where 5bww becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an underage individual — whether through KYC verification, a third-party report, or other means — the account will be immediately suspended, all gaming activity ceased, and the data reviewed in accordance with our legal obligations. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be handled in compliance with PAGCOR regulatory directives.
If you have reason to believe that a minor is using the 5bww Platform, please report this to our support team immediately at [email protected].
21+ Strict Enforcement: 5bww's KYC process requires government-issued ID verification for all accounts before withdrawal functionality is enabled. This is 5bww's primary mechanism for enforcing the 21+ age requirement under PAGCOR regulations. Self-declared ages are not accepted in lieu of verified identity documentation.
13 Cross-Border Data Transfers
Where 5bww uses third-party service providers whose infrastructure is located outside the Philippines — such as international cloud hosting providers or game software providers — your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the Philippines.
All cross-border transfers of personal data by 5bww are conducted in compliance with Section 21 of the Philippine Data Privacy Act and NPC regulations governing cross-border data flows. 5bww ensures that:
- The recipient country provides an adequate level of data protection substantially equivalent to Philippine standards, or;
- Appropriate contractual safeguards (such as data processing agreements or standard contractual clauses) are in place with the receiving party.
5bww does not transfer personal data outside the Philippines to parties that cannot demonstrate adequate data protection standards. Where PAGCOR-regulated data (such as KYC records and transaction history) is involved, storage and primary processing occurs within the Philippines.
14 Changes to This Privacy Policy
5bww may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we process your personal data or the rights available to you — 5bww will provide advance notice via the email address registered to your 5bww account and/or through a prominent notice on the Platform.
For minor, non-material updates (such as corrections of typographical errors or clarifications that do not change the substance of the Policy), the Policy will be updated with a revised "Last Updated" date without separate notification.
Your continued use of the 5bww Platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes. The current version of this Policy is always available at 5bww.org/privacy-policy.
