1.Introduction
At Wephantt, we believe that privacy is a right, not a privilege. This Privacy Policy explains how the Wephantt platform — accessible at wephantt.best — collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of every player who registers and plays with us.
Wephantt is committed to full compliance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines, along with its Implementing Rules and Regulations. We take that commitment seriously — not just because the law requires it, but because Filipino players deserve to know that their information is in responsible hands.
By creating a Wephantt account or using any part of the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have questions, the contact details for our Data Protection Officer are at the bottom of this page.
Quick note: This policy applies to the Wephantt website and all related services. It does not cover third-party websites or services that may be linked from our platform.
2.Data Controller
Wephantt acts as the personal information controller for all data collected through the platform. This means Wephantt determines the purposes for which your personal data is processed and the means by which it is handled. Where Wephantt engages third-party processors — such as payment gateways or identity verification providers — those parties act strictly on Wephantt's instructions and under data processing agreements that comply with applicable Philippine law.
If you need to reach the data controller with a privacy-related concern, the details are in the Contact section at the end of this policy.
3.What Personal Data We Collect
Wephantt collects personal data from you in the following categories:
| Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, government ID number | Registration and KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, Philippine mobile number | Registration |
| Financial Data | GCash / Maya number, bank account details, transaction history | Deposits and withdrawals |
| Account Data | Username, password hash, account preferences, bonus history | Registration and ongoing use |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser, operating system | Automatically on each visit |
| Usage Data | Games played, bet amounts, session durations, page views | Automatically during gameplay |
| Communications Data | Support chat transcripts, emails sent to Wephantt | When you contact us |
Wephantt does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or health data. If you share such information voluntarily — for example, when requesting responsible gaming tools on medical grounds — it will be treated with the highest level of care and processed only for the purpose for which it was shared.
Wephantt protects player data across every device and location — whether you're gaming from Bohol or BGC.
4.How We Use Your Personal Data
Wephantt uses your personal data only for the following purposes:
- Account management — creating, maintaining, and securing your Wephantt account
- Identity verification (KYC) — confirming eligibility in line with Philippine gaming regulations and anti-money-laundering requirements
- Payment processing — handling deposits and withdrawals through your chosen Philippine payment method
- Fraud prevention and security — detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and other threats to the platform
- Regulatory compliance — meeting obligations imposed by Philippine gaming and financial authorities
- Customer support — responding to your queries and resolving account issues
- Platform improvement — analysing aggregated usage data to improve game performance, navigation, and the overall Wephantt experience
- Responsible gaming — monitoring activity patterns to identify potential problem gaming and provide appropriate tools and support
- Communications — sending account notifications, transaction confirmations, and — with your consent — promotional offers
Wephantt does not use your data to build profiles for third-party advertising, sell data to marketing companies, or share information with unrelated businesses. Your data stays within the Wephantt ecosystem and the trusted partners strictly necessary to run the platform.
5.Legal Basis for Processing
Wephantt processes your personal data on the following legal grounds under the Data Privacy Act of 2012:
- Contract performance — processing necessary to provide the services you have signed up for, including account management, gameplay, and payments
- Legal obligation — processing required to comply with Philippine gaming regulations, anti-money-laundering laws, and tax reporting requirements
- Legitimate interest — processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, where these interests do not override your rights
- Consent — processing for direct marketing communications and optional analytics, where you have given clear and informed consent that you can withdraw at any time
7.International Data Transfers
Some of Wephantt's service providers may process data outside the Philippines — for example, cloud hosting infrastructure or certain security services. Where this occurs, Wephantt ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with the standards set by the Philippine National Privacy Commission. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses or country-specific adequacy determinations.
If you have questions about specific international transfers or the safeguards in place, you can contact the Wephantt Data Protection Officer using the details at the end of this policy.
No matter where in the Philippines you play, Wephantt's data protection standards stay the same.
8.Data Retention
Wephantt retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to meet legal and regulatory obligations. The general retention periods are:
- Account and identity data — retained for the duration of your active account plus five years after closure, in line with anti-money-laundering record-keeping requirements
- Transaction and financial data — retained for five years from the date of the transaction
- Communications data — support chat logs and email records are retained for two years
- Technical and usage data — retained for up to twelve months in identifiable form; anonymised aggregates may be retained longer for analytical purposes
When data is no longer required, Wephantt securely deletes or anonymises it in a manner that prevents recovery and re-identification.
9.Security Measures
Wephantt implements a layered approach to data security. Technical and organisational measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Wephantt platform
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest, including financial information and identity documents
- Role-based access controls that limit employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
- Multi-factor authentication options for player accounts
- Regular third-party penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
- Incident response procedures aligned with National Privacy Commission notification requirements
While Wephantt takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. Players are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for their Wephantt account, enable two-factor authentication where available, and report any suspicious account activity to support immediately.
11.Your Data Rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, every Wephantt player has the following rights with respect to their personal data. Wephantt will respond to all valid requests within 30 days.
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data Wephantt holds about you, along with information on how it is being used.
Right to Rectification
If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that it be corrected. Most account details can be updated directly through your account settings.
Right to Erasure
You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to Wephantt's legal retention obligations.
Right to Object
You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing at any time. Unsubscribe links are included in all marketing emails from Wephantt.
Right to Data Portability

12.Minors and Age Restrictions
The Wephantt platform is strictly for players who are at least 21 years of age. Wephantt does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal data, we will promptly delete that data and close the associated account.
If you believe a minor has registered on the Wephantt platform, please notify us immediately at the contact details below. Protecting minors from online gambling harm is a priority, and Wephantt cooperates fully with any investigation or inquiry related to underage access.
13.Changes to This Privacy Policy
Wephantt may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, applicable laws, or industry best practices. When material changes are made, registered players will be notified by email and/or by a prominent notice on the platform. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect when the policy was last revised.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Wephantt platform after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree with any changes, you have the right to close your account and request erasure of your data in line with the rights described above.
