Where such international transfers occur, baawin ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including contractual clauses that require the recipient to provide a level of data protection equivalent to that required under Philippine law. baawin will not transfer your personal data to countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without your explicit consent or without implementing appropriate safeguards.

The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page. Your continued use of the baawin platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how baawin protects your personal data.
