Introduction
vipl ("vipl," "we," "us," "our") is an online gaming platform serving players in the Philippines. We operate the website vipl.win and provide online casino games, live dealer tables, sports betting, sabong livestreams, bingo, Super Keno, Hi-Lo, and other gaming services to registered players who are 21 years of age or older.
We take your privacy seriously. This Policy sets out in plain terms how we collect your personal data, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it as a data subject under Philippine law. We have written this Policy to be as clear and straightforward as possible — because we believe you deserve to understand exactly what happens to your information when you use vipl.
This Policy should be read together with the vipl Terms & Conditions and the vipl Responsible Gaming Policy. In any case of conflict between this Policy and another vipl document, this Privacy Policy governs with respect to personal data matters.
