At pw138, your privacy is a core responsibility, not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect when you use our platform, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you hold over your own information.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all personal data processed by pw138 ("pw138", "we", "us", "our") in connection with the operation of the online gaming platform accessible at https://pw138.app (the "Platform").

pw138 is committed to handling personal data with transparency, integrity, and respect for individual privacy. This Policy is drafted in accordance with internationally recognised data protection principles and reflects our specific obligations to Members located in Indonesia, where we primarily operate.

If pw138 discovers or has reason to believe that a Member is under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the Account, freeze all balances, and initiate a verification process. If the Member cannot confirm they are 21 or older, the Account will be permanently closed and any deposited balance returned to the originating payment method after investigation.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered on pw138 without authorisation, please contact us immediately at support@pw138.app with the subject line "Underage Account Report". We will investigate and take appropriate action within 24 hours of receiving a verified report.
pw138 operates infrastructure that may involve the processing of Personal Data outside of Indonesia. For instance, game studio servers operated by Evolution Gaming or Pragmatic Play may be located in Europe or Asia. KYC verification partners may process data in jurisdictions with their own data protection frameworks.
Where Personal Data is transferred internationally, pw138 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
