wj1 is committed to protecting the personal information of every Filipino player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains in plain, accessible terms what data wj1 collects, why it is collected, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have as a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
This Privacy Policy governs the collection, processing, storage, use, and disclosure of personal data by wj1 (referred to as "wj1", "we", "our", or "us") in connection with the wj1.club website and all associated games, services, promotions, and customer support functions (collectively, the "Platform").
This Policy applies to all individuals who interact with the wj1 Platform, including registered account holders, applicants whose registration was not completed, visitors who access the Platform without registering, and individuals who communicate with wj1 support channels.
This Policy is issued in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), and its implementing rules and regulations (IRR) as administered by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. It should be read together with the wj1 Terms & Conditions, which form part of your agreement with wj1.

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy, the data controller responsible for your personal data is the legal entity operating the wj1 platform under PAGCOR regulatory authorization.
wj1 has designated a Data Protection Officer (DPO) as required under the DPA. The DPO is responsible for overseeing data privacy compliance within the organization, handling data subject rights requests, and serving as the point of contact for the National Privacy Commission. Contact details for the DPO are set out in Section 14 of this Policy.
