Our Six Privacy Principles
Before you read the full policy, here are the six core principles that guide every data decision walo588 makes regarding Filipino player information.
Minimal Data Collection
walo588 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, verify your identity, process transactions, and comply with Philippine regulatory requirements. We do not collect data for its own sake.
No Data Selling
Your personal data — including your mobile number, email address, GCash details, and transaction history — is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies under any circumstances.
Secure Storage & Transmission
All personal data stored by walo588 is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by SSL/TLS. Your information is stored on secured servers with strict access controls.
Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173), you have the right to access, correct, and in certain circumstances request the deletion of your personal data held by walo588. We honour these rights fully and promptly.
Transparent Processing
Every category of data we collect and every purpose for which we use it is documented in this Privacy Policy. We do not process your data for undisclosed purposes. If our processing activities change materially, we will notify you before those changes take effect.
Limited Retention Periods
We retain personal data only for as long as it is required for the purpose it was collected, or for as long as required by Philippine law (including AMLC record-keeping requirements). Data that is no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised.

walo588 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We share personal data only in the circumstances described below, and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose.
6.1 Service Providers and Processors
We engage carefully selected third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf and under our instructions. These include payment processing partners (GCash, Maya, and Philippine banking institutions), identity verification providers, cloud infrastructure and hosting providers, customer support platform providers, and fraud detection technology providers. All such providers are contractually required to process data only as instructed by walo588 and to maintain appropriate security measures.
6.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
walo588 may disclose personal data to Philippine regulatory bodies — including the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and PAGCOR — and to law enforcement agencies where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required by law and are logged for audit purposes.
6.3 Business Transfers
In the event that walo588 is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and any material change to how your data is processed as a result, in advance of the transfer taking effect.

We may share your personal data with third parties not listed above where you have given your explicit consent to such sharing. You may withdraw such consent at any time by contacting our support team.
7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
walo588 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our platform to ensure it functions correctly, to maintain your session while you are logged in, and to collect analytics data that helps us understand how players use the platform so we can improve it.
7.1 Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the platform.
- Analytics cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the platform. This helps us identify popular games, detect usability issues, and improve the overall experience.

- Preference cookies: Used to remember your settings and preferences, such as your preferred language or notification settings.
7.2 Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please be aware that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to your walo588 account and using the Services. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the platform.
We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising on the walo588 platform, and we do not share cookie-derived data with advertising networks.
8. Data Security
walo588 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:
- Encryption at rest: All personal data stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher (HTTPS).
- Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.
- Multi-factor authentication: Administrative access to systems holding personal data requires multi-factor authentication.
- Security monitoring: Our systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activity. Anomalies trigger automated alerts and human review.
- Regular security assessments: We conduct periodic vulnerability assessments and penetration tests on our infrastructure.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, walo588 will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay as required by the Data Privacy Act and its Implementing Rules.
9. Data Retention
walo588 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention period required by applicable Philippine law. Our general retention guidelines are as follows:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with AMLC record-keeping requirements.
- Transaction and financial data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the transaction date, as required by Philippine AML regulations.
- Gaming activity data: Retained for a minimum of two (2) years from the date of the relevant session or wager.
- KYC verification documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure or the completion of the relevant KYC process.
- Support communications: Retained for two (2) years from the date of the communication, unless the communication relates to an ongoing dispute or legal matter.
- Technical and log data: Generally retained for ninety (90) days for security monitoring purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
When personal data is no longer required and there is no legal basis for its continued retention, it is securely and permanently deleted from our systems or rendered irreversibly anonymous.
10. Your Data Subject Rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by walo588. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 14.
- Right to be informed: You have the right to be informed about what personal data we collect about you and how it is processed. This Policy fulfils that obligation.
- Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how it is processed.
- Right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. You can update most account information directly from your walo588 dashboard; for other corrections, contact support.
- Right to erasure: In certain circumstances — where data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where processing is unlawful — you may request the deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to our legal retention obligations (see Section 9).
- Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests where you believe such interests are overridden by your own rights and interests.
- Right to data portability: Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe walo588 has not handled your personal data in accordance with applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
We will respond to all verified data subject rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further thirty (30) days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.
11. Children & Minors
The walo588 platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. The minimum age for casino-style online gambling in the Philippines is 21 years, and walo588 enforces this through its account registration and KYC verification processes.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered a walo588 account using your or their information, please contact us immediately at the details provided in Section 14. We will promptly investigate, suspend the account, delete any data collected in connection with it, and return any deposits made.
Adults are responsible for ensuring that minors in their household do not access the walo588 platform using their devices or credentials. We recommend using device-level parental controls and keeping your walo588 login credentials private.
12. Cross-Border Data Transfers
In the course of providing the Services, some of your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside the Philippines — for example, where our cloud infrastructure providers or certain service partners maintain their servers.
Where such transfers occur, walo588 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard at least equivalent to that required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. These safeguards may include contractual data protection clauses with the receiving parties, verified compliance with equivalent data protection frameworks, or reliance on the recipient country's adequacy determination where applicable.
By using the walo588 platform, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data as described in this section, subject always to the protections described above.
13. Changes to This Policy
walo588 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in applicable Philippine law, or improvements to our platform. We will post the revised Policy on this page with an updated effective date.
Where changes are material — meaning they affect your rights or the purposes for which your data is used in a significant way — we will provide advance notice via the email address or mobile number registered on your account at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the walo588 platform after the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how walo588 protects your personal data. The date at the top of this page indicates when the Policy was most recently updated.
