How Nuwstar PH Protects Your Privacy

Six core commitments that shape how nuwstar ph handles the personal information you share with us.

We Never Sell Your Data

Nuwstar ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to advertisers or third parties for profit. Your data is used only to operate and improve the platform, verify your identity, process payments, and comply with legal obligations.

Encrypted at Every Step

All data transmitted between your device and nuwstar ph is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Payment information is handled through PCI DSS-compliant gateways. We do not store full card numbers or GCash/Maya credentials on our servers.

Minimum Data Collection

Nuwstar ph collects only the information necessary to run your account securely and comply with Philippine gaming regulations. We do not ask for information we don't need, and we regularly review what we hold to remove data that is no longer required.

Strict Internal Access Controls

  • Identity verification services: When performing KYC checks, we may use third-party identity verification providers. These providers process your documents securely and are not authorised to use your data for any other purpose.
  • Regulatory authorities: We are required to share certain information with the relevant Philippine gaming regulatory body, the National Privacy Commission, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), and tax authorities where legally mandated.

SECTION 06

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Nuwstar ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform correctly and to understand how players use it. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in as you navigate the site. Without these, the platform cannot work.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings and display options, so you don't have to reset them each visit.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players use the nuwstar ph platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where users encounter difficulty. This data is used to improve the site.
  • Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including suspicious login attempts and unusual transaction patterns.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the service but may limit our ability to improve it based on usage patterns.

SECTION 07

How Long We Keep Your Data

Nuwstar ph retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. The following retention periods apply:

  • Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a period of at least 5 years after account closure, to comply with AML regulations and gaming license requirements.
  • Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required under Philippine AML rules.
  • Identity verification documents: Retained for a minimum of 5 years after the KYC process is completed or after account closure, whichever is later.
  • Support communications: Retained for 3 years after the conversation closes, to support dispute resolution and quality assurance.
  • Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account, whichever comes first.
  • Technical and usage data: Retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely for platform analysis. Identifiable technical logs are retained for 12 months for security purposes.

When personal data is no longer required and the applicable retention period has passed, nuwstar ph will securely delete or anonymise it.

SECTION 08

Children's Privacy

The nuwstar ph platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we discover that a minor has registered an account, we will immediately close that account, delete the associated personal data, and reverse any deposits made.

If you believe a minor is using the nuwstar ph platform, please contact us immediately at support@nuwstarph.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental controls and to discuss responsible internet use with young people in their households.

SECTION 09

Security Measures

Nuwstar ph implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

  • TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit between your device and nuwstar ph servers.
  • Encrypted storage for sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and financial records.
  • PCI DSS-compliant payment processing — full card numbers are never stored on nuwstar ph systems.
  • Two-factor authentication options for account login.
  • Role-based access controls limiting which staff members can access which categories of personal data.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent third-party security firms.
  • Employee training on data protection obligations and phishing prevention.

While nuwstar ph takes security seriously, no system is entirely immune from attack. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong, unique password for your nuwstar ph account and never share your login credentials with anyone.

If you suspect your nuwstar ph account has been accessed without your permission, contact us immediately at support@nuwstarph.com. We will investigate and take immediate steps to secure your account.

SECTION 10

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Nuwstar ph primarily processes personal data within the Philippines. In some cases, data may be processed by our technology service providers in other countries. Where this occurs, nuwstar ph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data at the same standard required by Philippine law.

These safeguards may include contractual data processing agreements that bind the receiving party to applicable data protection standards, or transfers only to countries with data protection frameworks recognised as equivalent to Philippine standards.

You can request information about specific cross-border transfers of your personal data by contacting our Data Privacy Officer.

SECTION 11

Marketing Communications

Nuwstar ph will only send you direct marketing communications — including promotional SMS, email newsletters, and push notifications — where you have actively opted in to receive them during registration or through your account settings.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by:

  • Updating your communication preferences in the nuwstar ph account settings section.
  • Clicking the unsubscribe link included in any marketing email.
  • Contacting nuwstar ph support and requesting to be removed from marketing lists.

Opting out of marketing communications will not affect your ability to receive essential account communications, such as withdrawal confirmations, security alerts, or notifications about changes to these policies.

SECTION 12

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Nuwstar ph may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in Philippine law, or improvements to how we explain our privacy practices to players.

Material changes to this policy will be communicated to registered players via email or an in-platform notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent revision was made.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the nuwstar ph platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
