This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how www.hawkplay ("we," "us," "our," "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal information provided by or generated about you ("Data Subject," "Player," "User," "you") when you access, register on, or use the services available at wwwhawkplay.vip and any associated domains or applications.
www.hawkplay is the data controller responsible for personal information processed in connection with the platform's online gaming and sports betting services. As data controller, www.hawkplay determines the purposes and means of processing personal data and is accountable for ensuring compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and all relevant issuances of the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
By registering an account or using the www.hawkplay platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue use of the platform and contact support to arrange account closure.
This Policy should be read alongside the www.hawkplay Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall contractual relationship between you and the platform. Both documents are available at all times via the footer links on every page of the website.

www.hawkplay adheres to the principle of data minimization: we collect only the personal data that is adequate, relevant, and necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. We do not collect special categories of sensitive personal information (such as health data, biometric identifiers beyond those used for identity verification, or political opinions) unless strictly required by law or regulation.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules, www.hawkplay processes personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases:
Where www.hawkplay relies on consent as the legal basis for processing, withdrawal of that consent will not affect the processing of personal data carried out before the withdrawal, nor processing carried out on alternative lawful bases.
www.hawkplay uses personal data collected for the following specific purposes:
www.hawkplay does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. Personal data is shared only in the following limited and lawful circumstances:
www.hawkplay will never sell your personal data. Any communication claiming to offer your www.hawkplay data for purchase is fraudulent and should be reported to support immediately. If you believe your data has been misused, you may file a complaint directly with the National Privacy Commission at www.privacy.gov.ph.
www.hawkplay uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, maintain your authenticated session, remember your preferences, and analyze platform usage. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit the platform.
The following categories of cookies are used:
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and the browsers on your Android or iPhone) allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to your www.hawkplay account. www.hawkplay does not use third-party advertising or behavioral tracking cookies.
www.hawkplay retains personal data for no longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, or reporting requirements. The following retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Identity Data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | PAGCOR & AMLA requirements |
| Financial Transaction Records | 10 years from transaction date | AMLA (RA 9160 as amended) |
| Gaming Activity Logs | 5 years from date of activity | PAGCOR licensing conditions |
| Support Communications | 3 years from last interaction | Legitimate interests (dispute resolution) |
| Technical / Access Logs | 12 months | Security monitoring |
| Marketing Consent Records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | RA 10173 accountability principle |
| Self-Exclusion Records | Minimum 5 years from exclusion date | Responsible gaming obligations |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized in accordance with industry-standard data disposal procedures. Physical documents containing personal data are shredded; electronic data is overwritten using secure deletion protocols.
www.hawkplay implements a multi-layered security architecture to protect personal and financial data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Key security controls in place include:
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to data subjects, www.hawkplay will notify the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected data subjects without undue delay, in accordance with NPC Circular 16-03 and applicable breach notification requirements.
While www.hawkplay employs industry-standard technical and organizational measures, no security system is infallible. You play an important role in keeping your data safe by maintaining strong, unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and using the platform only on trusted, personal devices.
The www.hawkplay platform is strictly prohibited for persons under 21 years of age, consistent with Philippine gaming law and PAGCOR licensing requirements. www.hawkplay does not knowingly collect personal data from persons below the minimum age of 21.
Age verification is performed at registration using government-issued identification. If www.hawkplay discovers or has reason to believe that a registered account is held by a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all balances withheld pending investigation, and personal data associated with the account will be processed only to the extent required by law before being securely deleted.
If you are the parent or guardian of a minor and believe they may have registered on www.hawkplay without authorization, please contact our support team immediately. We will treat such reports as a priority and take immediate action to restrict access and investigate the matter.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data processed by www.hawkplay. These rights may be exercised by submitting a request through the in-app support system or by contacting the Data Protection Officer at the contact details in Section 13.
Request a copy of the personal data www.hawkplay holds about you, and information about how it is processed.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Some corrections require supporting documentation.
Request deletion of personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for its retention, subject to statutory obligations.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing purposes. Objection to essential service processing may limit platform access.
Request that processing be restricted while a complaint or correction request is being resolved.
Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider where technically feasible.
Withdraw consent for consent-based processing (e.g., marketing) at any time without affecting prior processing.
Lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) at privacy.gov.ph if you believe your data rights have been violated.
www.hawkplay will respond to data subject requests within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. In complex cases, this may be extended by an additional fifteen (15) business days with written notice. We may require identity verification before processing your request to prevent unauthorized disclosure of personal data.
Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations where exercising them would conflict with www.hawkplay's legal obligations, including mandatory data retention under AMLA and PAGCOR requirements. We will clearly communicate any such limitations when responding to your request.
In the course of delivering gaming services, personal data may be transferred to and processed by game software providers and technology service partners located outside the Philippines. Such transfers are subject to the following safeguards:
www.hawkplay maintains a register of all third-party processors with cross-border data transfer relationships and conducts due diligence assessments of their data protection practices prior to and during engagement.
With your consent, www.hawkplay may send you promotional communications about new games, bonus offers, tournaments, seasonal promotions, and platform updates. These communications may be delivered via SMS to your registered Philippine mobile number, email, or in-platform notifications.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time through any of the following methods:
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional communications such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, account security alerts, or support responses — these are service communications that www.hawkplay may send regardless of marketing preference.
Players who have activated self-exclusion will automatically be removed from all marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion period. www.hawkplay will not send promotional content to self-excluded players under any circumstances.
www.hawkplay has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Policy. The DPO serves as the primary point of contact for data subjects exercising their rights and for regulatory inquiries from the National Privacy Commission.
For all privacy-related inquiries, data subject requests, or complaints regarding the handling of your personal information by www.hawkplay, you may contact the Data Protection Officer at:
www.hawkplay is registered with the National Privacy Commission as a personal information controller. Data subjects who are not satisfied with the response from the DPO may escalate their concern to the NPC at privacy.gov.ph.
www.hawkplay may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data processing practices, new regulatory requirements, or improvements to our privacy protections. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made.
Material changes to this Policy — those that significantly affect your rights or how your personal data is processed — will be communicated to registered players via email to your registered address and through a prominent notice on the platform at least seven (7) days prior to the changes taking effect. Continued use of www.hawkplay after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically. The current version is always accessible at wwwhawkplay.vip/privacy-policy. If you have questions about any changes, please contact the Data Protection Officer at the details provided in Section 13.
www.hawkplay is committed to continuous improvement of its privacy practices. We treat data protection as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time compliance exercise. Feedback on this Policy is welcome — contact us at [email protected] with the subject line [PRIVACY FEEDBACK].
