hwg88 treats the protection of your personal data as a core operational commitment, not a legal formality. This Privacy Policy explains precisely what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you hold over your data as a Member of the Platform.
These six principles guide every data-handling decision at hwg88. They summarise our approach before you read the full policy document below.
Every data exchange between your device and the hwg88 Platform — account login, payment details, KYC document uploads — is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL technology. Your data is never transmitted in plain text.
hwg88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Data is shared only with regulated service providers that are contractually bound to the same protection standards we uphold.
As a Member, you hold enforceable rights over your personal data — including the right to access, correct, or request erasure of your records. Requests are handled by our dedicated privacy team within 30 days of submission.
hwg88 uses cookies strictly for session management, platform performance, and anonymised analytics. We do not use third-party advertising cookies to track your activity across unrelated websites. Full cookie details are provided in Clause 7.
Identity documents submitted for KYC verification are stored in an isolated, access-controlled environment. Documents are accessible only to authorised compliance staff and licensed verification partners. Retention periods are clearly defined in this policy.
hwg88's data governance practices are aligned with internationally recognised privacy frameworks. Our infrastructure and internal procedures are reviewed periodically by independent compliance consultants to ensure ongoing alignment with current best practices.
In this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings defined below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
| "Personal Data" | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person — including name, date of birth, email address, payment details, device identifiers, and IP address. |
| "Processing" | Any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, storage, retrieval, use, disclosure, restriction, or erasure. |
| "Data Controller" | The entity that determines the purposes and means of Processing Personal Data. For users of the hwg88 Platform, the Data Controller is the Company operating hwg88 under its international gaming licence. |
| "Data Processor" | A third party that Processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller under a written data-processing agreement. Examples include KYC verification providers and payment processors. |
| "Platform" | The hwg88 website at hwg88.cam and any associated mobile web interface. |
| "Member" / "You" | Any natural person who has registered an Account on the Platform. |
| "KYC Documents" | Identity and address verification documents submitted by a Member during the KYC process, including government-issued photo IDs (KTP, passport, SIM) and proof of address. |
| "Cookies" | Small text files placed on your device by the Platform to support session management, preferences, and anonymised analytics. |
hwg88 is the Data Controller in respect of all Personal Data collected from Members and visitors of the Platform. As Data Controller, hwg88 is responsible for determining the purposes for which your Personal Data is Processed and for ensuring that all Processing activities comply with applicable data protection standards.
Where third-party service providers assist in the delivery of Platform services — such as KYC verification providers, payment processors, and platform security vendors — those parties act as Data Processors operating under contractual obligations that restrict their use of your data to the specific services they provide on our behalf. hwg88 remains accountable for the data-handling conduct of all third-party Data Processors engaged in connection with the Platform.
If you have any question about how hwg88 handles your Personal Data, or if you wish to exercise any of the rights described in Clause 10, you may contact our privacy team at any time using the details set out in Clause 14.
hwg88 collects Personal Data through several channels: directly from you when you register an Account or interact with the Platform; automatically through your use of the Platform; and from regulated third-party sources where necessary for compliance and fraud-prevention purposes. The categories of data we collect are detailed below.
Minimum Data Principle. hwg88 collects only the Personal Data that is strictly necessary for the purpose for which it is being gathered. We do not collect sensitive data categories such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data beyond what is inherent in standard photo ID documents submitted for age verification.
hwg88 processes your Personal Data for the following defined purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the original basis on which it was collected, without seeking your explicit consent to do so.
hwg88 processes your Personal Data on one or more of the following legal bases, as applicable to each specific Processing activity.
| Contractual Necessity | Processing required to perform the services you have signed up to receive — account management, transaction processing, wager settlement, and KYC verification. Without this Processing, hwg88 cannot deliver its services to you. |
| Legal Obligation | Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including AML/CTF obligations, age verification requirements, and any reporting mandated by the Company's licensing authorities. |
| Legitimate Interests | Processing carried out to pursue hwg88's legitimate interests where these are not overridden by your fundamental rights — including fraud detection, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and anonymised analytics for service improvement. |
| Vital Interests | Processing necessary to protect your vital interests — specifically, responsible gaming interventions where there are reasonable grounds to believe a Member is at risk of harm from gambling. |
| Consent | Processing for promotional communications and non-essential cookies, where you have given clear and unambiguous consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior Processing. |
hwg88 does not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to any third party for commercial purposes. Data is disclosed only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to recipients who are contractually obligated to handle your data with the same level of care we apply.
No Marketing Data Sales. Under no circumstances does hwg88 share or sell Member Personal Data to advertising networks, data brokers, or third-party marketing platforms. Your data is not used to serve you targeted advertisements on external websites.
hwg88 uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Platform, maintain session security, and gather anonymised performance data. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
hwg88 retains your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply.
| Account Data | Retained for the duration of active Account membership, plus 5 years following Account closure, to satisfy AML record-keeping obligations and potential legal disputes. |
| KYC Documents | Retained for 5 years from the date of submission or the date of Account closure, whichever is later. This period aligns with standard international AML compliance requirements. |
| Transaction Records | Retained for 5 years from the date of the transaction. This covers deposit confirmations, withdrawal records, and wager history. |
| Support Communications | Retained for 3 years from the date of the interaction, or until the resolution of any dispute arising from the interaction, whichever is later. |
| Analytics Data | Aggregated, anonymised analytics data is retained indefinitely for platform improvement purposes. This data cannot be linked back to any individual Member. |
| Marketing Consent Records | Retained for as long as you remain opted in, plus 1 year following withdrawal of consent, to demonstrate the lawfulness of any communications sent during the consent period. |
At the end of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Deletion requests submitted under Clause 10 that conflict with a live regulatory retention obligation will be addressed by anonymising all data elements that are not legally required to be retained in identifiable form.
hwg88 implements a layered security architecture to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. The following measures form the core of our data security programme.
Provably Fair Games. In addition to personal data security, all game outcomes on the hwg88 Platform are generated by certified Random Number Generator (RNG) systems and are provably fair. Game certification details are available on request.
As a data subject whose Personal Data is Processed by hwg88, you hold the following rights. These rights may be exercised at any time by submitting a written request to our privacy team at the contact address in Clause 14. hwg88 will respond within 30 calendar days.
Request a copy of all Personal Data hwg88 holds about you, along with information about how it is used and with whom it is shared.
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data held in your Account record.
Request deletion of your Personal Data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose collected, subject to any overriding legal retention obligations.
Object to Processing based on legitimate interests, including the right to opt out of promotional communications at any time without giving a reason.
Request that hwg88 temporarily suspend Processing of your data — for example, while the accuracy of Personal Data is contested or a complaint is under review.
Receive a machine-readable copy of Personal Data you provided to hwg88 under a contract or consent basis, in a commonly used format.
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit your request in writing to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and include your registered full name and Account email address so that we can verify your identity before processing the request. hwg88 will not charge a fee for first-time requests. Manifestly unfounded or excessive repeat requests may be subject to a reasonable administrative charge.
hwg88 is an internationally operated platform. As a result, your Personal Data may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside Indonesia. Where such transfers occur, hwg88 takes the following safeguards to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.
The hwg88 Platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and over. hwg88 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from any individual under the age of 21. Registration on the Platform requires confirmation that the applicant meets the minimum age requirement, and this is subsequently verified through the KYC process described in the hwg88 Terms and Conditions.
If hwg88 becomes aware or has reasonable grounds to suspect that Personal Data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, the following steps will be taken without delay: the Account will be suspended pending investigation; all Personal Data associated with the underage individual will be permanently deleted from our systems upon confirmation; any deposits made by the underage individual will be returned using the same payment method where technically possible; and any winnings associated with the Account will be voided.
If you believe that a person under 21 has registered on the hwg88 Platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. We take every such report seriously and will investigate and respond within 48 hours.
Parental Controls. We encourage parents and guardians to make use of third-party parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on devices used by minors. hwg88 supports the use of these tools as a supplementary measure alongside our own age verification procedures.
hwg88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or Platform functionality. The following procedures govern how changes are communicated to Members.
