Privacy at a Glance

Six principles that guide how Taya Games handles the data of every Filipino player on the platform.

Collect Only What's Needed

Taya Games only collects personal data that is directly necessary for operating your account, processing payments, verifying your identity, and complying with Philippine gaming regulations. Nothing extra is collected just to have it.

Never Sell Your Data

Taya Games does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is not a product. It is used only to provide you with a better gaming experience and to fulfill legal obligations.

Industry-Standard Security

All data transmitted between your device and Taya Games is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Stored data is encrypted at rest. Access to personal data within the organization is restricted to personnel with a specific, documented need.

Your Rights Under the DPA

As a Filipino data subject, you are protected by Republic Act 10173 — the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Taya Games respects all rights granted under the DPA including the right to access, correct, erase, and object to the processing of your personal data.

Defined Retention Periods

Taya Games does not keep your personal data indefinitely. Retention periods are defined for each data category based on legal requirements, regulatory obligations, and operational necessity. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Clear and Honest Communication

When Taya Games needs to update this Privacy Policy, players are notified in advance through their registered email and a prominent notice on the platform. There are no surprise changes to how your data is handled without prior communication.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy governs how Taya Games ("Taya Games," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players ("you," "your") who register and use the online gaming platform at tayagames.net.

Taya Games operates under the applicable laws of the Philippines, including Republic Act No. 10173 — the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) and its implementing rules and regulations. Our data processing practices are aligned with the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality as required under the DPA.

By registering an account at Taya Games and using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how your personal data is handled. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please contact us before using the platform or creating an account.

Plain Language Commitment: Taya Games is committed to writing privacy documentation that Filipino players can actually understand. If any section of this policy is unclear to you, contact our Data Protection Officer at support@tayagames.net and we will explain it in detail.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012, the data controller responsible for your personal information is Taya Games, operating the platform at tayagames.net. Taya Games determines the purposes for which and the means by which your personal data is processed.

Taya Games has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing compliance with the DPA and for handling data-related requests and inquiries from players. You can contact the DPO directly at support@tayagames.net with the subject line "Data Privacy Request."

3. Personal Data We Collect

4. How We Collect Your Data

Taya Games collects personal data through the following methods:

Direct Collection

Data you provide directly when you register for a Taya Games account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or participate in promotions. This is the primary source of your personal data on the platform.

Automated Collection

When you access and use the Taya Games platform, certain technical data is collected automatically. This includes your IP address, device type, browser version, operating system, the pages you visit within the platform, session start and end times, and in-game actions (bets placed, games opened). This data is collected using server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies.

Third-Party Sources

In limited circumstances, Taya Games may receive data about you from third-party sources, including:

  • Payment processors (GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI, Visa/Mastercard networks) — to confirm transaction completion and verify payment method ownership
  • Identity verification providers — to confirm the authenticity of government-issued documents submitted during KYC
  • Fraud prevention services — to flag known fraud indicators associated with a device or account pattern

5. Why We Use Your Personal Data

Taya Games uses your personal data only for the purposes described in this policy. The primary purposes for which your data is processed are:

  • Account Creation and Management: Creating and maintaining your Taya Games player account, verifying your identity, and ensuring account security.
  • Service Delivery: Providing access to all games and features available on the Taya Games platform, including Baccarat, Roulette, Pusoy, sports betting, and VIP Club services.
  • Payment Processing: Processing deposits and withdrawals through your selected Philippine payment methods, verifying payment method ownership, and maintaining transaction records.
  • Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Fulfilling obligations under Philippine gaming regulations, KYC/AML requirements, and any lawful demands from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
  • Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify potential problem gambling indicators and delivering responsible gaming interventions as required.
  • Customer Support: Responding to your inquiries, resolving disputes, and processing account-related requests through the Taya Games support team.
  • Platform Security and Fraud Prevention: Detecting and preventing unauthorized access, fraudulent activity, bonus abuse, and other violations of the Taya Games Terms and Conditions.
  • Marketing Communications (with consent): Sending promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates to players who have opted in to receive marketing communications. You may opt out at any time.

Marketing Opt-Out: If you no longer wish to receive promotional emails or SMS from Taya Games, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, adjusting your notification preferences in account settings, or contacting support@tayagames.net. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications related to your account.

6. Sharing Your Personal Data

Taya Games does not sell your personal data. Data is shared only in the specific, limited circumstances described below:

  • Payment Processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard network processors receive transaction data necessary to complete deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are contractually required to handle your data securely.
  • KYC and Identity Verification Providers: Where identity document verification is required, Taya Games works with accredited verification providers. These providers receive only the information needed to confirm document authenticity and return a verification result.
  • Fraud Prevention and Security Services: Taya Games uses third-party fraud detection tools that process technical data (IP address, device fingerprint, behavioral patterns) to identify suspicious activity. These providers do not receive your full personal profile.
  • Game Technology Providers: Some games available on the Taya Games platform are provided by licensed third-party game developers. These providers may process gameplay data to deliver the game functionality. Taya Games only works with providers under data processing agreements that protect player data.
  • Regulatory and Legal Requirements: Taya Games may disclose your personal data to Philippine government agencies, courts, or law enforcement bodies when required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory instruction. Taya Games will not disclose more information than is required by the specific legal demand.
  • Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of Taya Games, player data may be transferred as part of that transaction. Players will be notified in advance if such a transfer affects how their data is handled.

7. Data Retention

Taya Games retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law. The general retention periods are as follows:

  • Account Data (identity, contact): Retained for the duration of your active account plus five (5) years after account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements.
  • Financial and Transaction Data: Retained for five (5) years from the date of each transaction, as required by Philippine anti-money laundering regulations.
  • Gameplay Data: Retained for three (3) years from the date the data was generated, unless required for longer periods for dispute resolution or regulatory auditing purposes.
  • Support Communications: Retained for two (2) years from the date of the most recent interaction.
  • Technical and Device Data: Retained for twelve (12) months from collection, after which it is anonymized or deleted.

When data reaches the end of its retention period, Taya Games securely deletes or anonymizes it so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

8. Security Measures

Taya Games implements a range of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, and disclosure:

  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser or app and the Taya Games platform is protected by SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS). This prevents interception of your data during transmission.
  • Encryption at Rest: Sensitive stored data, including financial information and identity documents, is encrypted in our databases using industry-standard algorithms.
  • Access Controls: Access to personal data within the Taya Games organization is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff access to player data is logged and monitored.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Taya Games offers two-factor authentication for player accounts, adding an extra layer of security beyond your password.
  • Vulnerability Management: The platform undergoes regular security audits and penetration testing. Known vulnerabilities are patched promptly.
  • Incident Response: In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, Taya Games will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within the timeframes prescribed by the DPA.

Your Role in Security: Taya Games implements strong platform-side security, but your personal account security depends partly on you — specifically on keeping your password confidential, enabling two-factor authentication, and logging out from shared devices. Review Section 4 of the Terms and Conditions for full account security guidance.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Taya Games uses cookies and similar technologies on the platform. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. Taya Games uses the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during a gaming session, and security cookies that help detect fraudulent activity. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
  • Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment method display, and game layout options. Disabling these cookies means you may need to re-enter these preferences on each visit.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, where players encounter issues, and how navigation flows are used. This data is aggregated and used to improve the Taya Games experience. No individual profiling is done using analytics cookies.
  • Marketing Cookies (consent-based): Used only where you have provided explicit consent. These cookies support the delivery of relevant promotional content on the Taya Games platform. They are not used to track your activity on third-party websites.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may impair your ability to use certain features of the Taya Games platform.
