Privacy Policy – How Tayoph Protects Your Personal Data

Your personal data belongs to you. This policy explains exactly what Tayoph collects, why we collect it, and how it's kept safe — written in plain English, not legal-speak.

Last Updated: January 2025

Six Privacy Promises Every Tayoph Member Should Know

Before you read the full policy below, here are the core commitments Tayoph makes to every member on how their data is handled.

We Never Sell Your Data

Tayoph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes — ever. Your data stays within Tayoph and the trusted service providers we use to operate the platform.

Bank-Grade Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and Tayoph's servers is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Account data at rest is stored using industry-standard secure hashing and encryption methods.

You Control Your Data

Tayoph members have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of their personal data at any time, subject to legal retention requirements. Contact support@tayoph.best to exercise your rights.

Minimal Data Collection

Tayoph only collects data that is genuinely necessary to provide the service, process payments, verify your identity, and comply with regulations. We don't collect data just because we can.

Breach Notification

If a data breach ever occurs that affects your personal information, Tayoph will notify you promptly and take immediate steps to contain and assess the impact — in line with Philippine data protection law.

Plain Language, Always

This privacy policy is written to be readable by any Tayoph member, not just lawyers. If any section is still unclear, reach out to our support team and we'll explain it in plain terms.


1Introduction

Tayoph ("we", "us", "our") operates the online gaming platform available at tayoph.best. This Privacy Policy explains how Tayoph collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of all individuals who access or use the platform — whether as registered members or as visitors browsing publicly accessible content.

This policy is governed by and written in compliance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and its implementing rules and regulations. Tayoph is committed to upholding the rights of every Filipino member and ensuring their personal data is handled responsibly, transparently, and only for legitimate purposes.

By registering a Tayoph account or continuing to use the platform after reading this policy, you confirm that you have understood and agreed to the data practices described here. If you have questions about any section, contact us at support@tayoph.best before proceeding.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside Tayoph's Terms and Conditions. Together, these documents form the full agreement between you and Tayoph regarding your use of the platform.

Tayoph protects members' data whether they're playing from BGC, Davao, or anywhere across the Philippines.

2What We Collect

Tayoph collects personal data in two broad categories: data you provide directly, and data that is generated automatically through your use of the platform.

Data You Provide Directly

  • Registration data: Full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and chosen username.
  • Verification documents (KYC): Government-issued photo ID (e.g., Philippine passport, UMID, driver's licence, PhilSys ID), proof of address, and in some cases a selfie for identity confirmation.
  • Payment information: GCash or Maya account numbers, bank account details, or card details used for deposits and withdrawals. Note that Tayoph does not store full card numbers — payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third-party processors.
  • Support communications: Any messages, complaints, or queries you submit to the Tayoph support team.

Data Collected Automatically

  • Device and browser data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, games played, bets placed, session duration, and in-platform navigation behaviour.
  • Transaction data: Records of all deposits, withdrawals, bonuses claimed, and bets placed — retained for regulatory compliance and dispute resolution.
  • Cookie data: Session identifiers and preference settings stored via cookies. See Section 8 for full details.

3How We Collect It

Tayoph collects your personal data through the following channels:

  • Registration forms: When you sign up for a Tayoph account, you provide core identity and contact details directly.
  • KYC submission: When you submit documents for account verification, either at registration or when prompted prior to a withdrawal.
  • Platform interactions: Your usage of the platform — browsing, betting, depositing, withdrawing, claiming bonuses — is logged automatically.
  • Payment processors: When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal, our payment partners (such as GCash, Maya, or bank platforms) share transaction confirmation data with Tayoph to update your account.
  • Support interactions: Any communication you initiate with the Tayoph support team, via live chat, email, or other channels.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: As described in Section 8, Tayoph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform website.

4How We Use Your Data

Tayoph uses the personal data it collects for specific, legitimate purposes. Below is a summary of the primary reasons your data is processed:

Purpose Data Used Legal Basis
Account creation and management Name, email, mobile, date of birth Contract performance
Identity verification (KYC) Government ID, proof of address Legal obligation
Processing deposits and withdrawals Payment account details, transaction records Contract performance
Fraud detection and AML compliance Transaction history, device data, IP address Legal obligation / Legitimate interest

Tayoph will not use your data for any purpose other than those listed above without obtaining your explicit consent first. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

5Who We Share Your Data With

Tayoph does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the following specific circumstances:

Payment Processors

To process your deposits and withdrawals, Tayoph shares relevant transaction details with Philippine payment providers including GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, and banking partners. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are contractually bound to use your data only for the purposes of processing your transaction.

Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies

Tayoph may be required to share member data with Philippine regulatory authorities, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), or law enforcement agencies where legally required. Tayoph will always verify the legitimacy of such requests before sharing any data.

Technology and Infrastructure Providers

Tayoph uses reputable third-party technology providers for cloud hosting, data storage, analytics, and platform security. These providers are vetted for data security compliance and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

Identity Verification Services

During KYC verification, Tayoph may use a third-party identity verification service to cross-check documents against government databases. This process is performed securely and the provider does not retain your documents beyond the verification period.

Tayoph does not transfer personal data outside the Philippines except where explicitly necessary for the operation of approved third-party services, and only with appropriate data transfer safeguards in place.

6Data Retention

Tayoph retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, subject to the following guidelines:

  • Active accounts: All account data is retained for the full duration of your membership with Tayoph.
  • Closed accounts: Following account closure, Tayoph retains certain data for a minimum of five (5) years to comply with Philippine AML and gaming regulatory requirements. This includes transaction records, KYC documents, and account correspondence.
  • Support records: Customer support communications are retained for two (2) years after the resolution of the relevant issue.
  • Marketing data: If you have consented to receive marketing communications, your data for this purpose is retained until you withdraw consent.

Once the applicable retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

Tayoph's security infrastructure protects your data no matter which part of the Philippines you play from.

7Security Measures

Tayoph takes the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented multiple layers of technical and organisational controls to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and Tayoph's platform is encrypted in transit.
  • Encrypted storage: Sensitive data such as passwords are stored using strong one-way hashing. Payment card data is never stored on Tayoph's servers — it is handled entirely by PCI-DSS compliant processors.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): Tayoph supports and encourages 2FA for all member accounts as an additional layer of login security.
  • Access controls: Internal access to member data is restricted to authorised Tayoph personnel who require it to perform their role. All access is logged and audited.
  • Regular security reviews: Tayoph conducts periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
  • Incident response: Tayoph maintains a documented data breach response plan that includes member notification, regulatory reporting, and remediation procedures.

No system is 100% immune to attack, and Tayoph cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we are committed to maintaining security practices that meet or exceed the standards required for a licensed gaming operator in the Philippines.

8Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Tayoph uses cookies and similar technologies on its platform to improve your experience, maintain session security, and gather anonymised usage data. Here's a breakdown of the types of cookies we use:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the platform to function. They manage your login session, maintain security tokens, and remember basic preferences (such as language settings). You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting your ability to use the platform.

Analytics Cookies

Tayoph uses anonymised analytics data to understand how members navigate the platform, which features are most used, and where performance improvements are needed. This data does not identify you individually and is only used in aggregate form.

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your in-platform preferences — such as your last viewed game category — to reduce friction in your experience. They are not used for tracking across external websites.

Managing Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some platform features. Tayoph does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising on or off the platform.

9Your Rights Under Philippine Data Privacy Law

As a Tayoph member and a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. You can exercise any of these rights by contacting Tayoph at support@tayoph.best with your registered email and a description of your request.

Right to Access

Request a copy of the personal data Tayoph holds about you, including what it is, where it came from, and how it is being used.

Right to Correction

Request that inaccurate or outdated personal data be corrected. Tayoph will update the records and notify relevant third parties where applicable.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to Tayoph's legal retention obligations.

Right to Object

Object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling purposes. Tayoph will stop such processing upon receipt of a valid objection.

Right to Data Portability

Request a structured, machine-readable copy of your personal data to transfer to another service provider, where technically feasible.

Right to Complain

If you believe your data rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines — the relevant regulatory body.

10Minors

Tayoph is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If Tayoph discovers that a registered member is under 18, the account will be closed immediately and all associated personal data will be securely deleted, except where retention is required by law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on Tayoph, please contact us immediately at support@tayoph.best. We will investigate and act promptly.

Tayoph employs age verification processes during registration and at the point of KYC to reduce the risk of underage access. However, if a minor has registered using falsified information, Tayoph bears no liability for data collected in good faith prior to discovering the individual's true age.

11Changes to This Privacy Policy

Tayoph may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the platform, or applicable laws. When material changes are made, Tayoph will notify registered members by email and/or through a prominent notice on the platform before the changes take effect.

The effective date of the current version of this policy is displayed at the top of this page. You are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how your data is being handled.

Minor clarifications or non-substantive edits may be made without formal notification. The current version of this policy is always accessible at tayoph.best/privacy-policy.
