We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to handling your data in a lawful, transparent, and secure manner.

1.2 This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the bwm55 website, mobile platform, customer support communications, and any other channel through which you interact with bwm55.

2.2 bwm55 does not intentionally collect special categories of sensitive personal data (such as medical records, religious beliefs, or political opinions) from players.
