Cookies & Tracking Technologies
spinco uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, personalise your experience, and analyse platform usage. The following categories of cookies are used:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential to the operation of the spinco platform. These enable core functions such as session authentication, spinco Login functionality, security enforcement, and fraud prevention. These cookies cannot be disabled.
- Functional Cookies: Enable personalisation features such as language preferences, display settings, and game history. These improve your experience but are not strictly essential to basic platform operation.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how players interact with the spinco platform – which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where errors occur. This data is aggregated and used to improve platform quality.
- Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, bot traffic, and account compromise attempts.
You may control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may impair the functionality of the spinco platform. spinco does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or track your activity across unrelated websites.
Third-Party Services
spinco integrates third-party services to deliver certain platform functions, including payment processing, game delivery, identity verification, and customer support. These third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.
spinco enters into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all third-party processors that handle personal data on spinco's behalf. These agreements require processors to implement appropriate security measures, process data only for authorised purposes, and comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
spinco is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that are not operated by or on behalf of spinco. Links to external platforms, where they appear, are subject to those platforms' own privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
spinco is strictly an adult platform available only to individuals aged 21 years and above. spinco does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted at the point of registration and through the KYC process.
In the event that spinco discovers personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, such data will be permanently deleted and the account will be closed immediately. Any real-money deposit made by an underage player will be returned to the payment source used.
International Data Transfers
spinco's operations are based in the Philippines and personal data is primarily processed and stored within Philippine territory. However, certain third-party service providers (such as cloud infrastructure or game delivery partners) may process data in other jurisdictions.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, spinco ensures that such transfers comply with the Data Privacy Act's requirements for cross-border data transfers. This includes ensuring that the recipient country provides adequate protection, or that appropriate contractual safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are in place prior to the transfer.
spinco does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions where adequate protection cannot be guaranteed without implementing appropriate additional safeguards and obtaining any necessary approvals from the National Privacy Commission.
