9 Children's Privacy

The taya888 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and older. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from individuals under the age of 21. This is both a legal requirement under Philippine gaming regulations and a core commitment of taya888's responsible gaming policy.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records and close the associated account. If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Never share your taya888 login credentials with anyone, including family members who may be under the legal gambling age.

10 International Data Transfers

taya888 primarily stores and processes your personal information within the Philippines. However, some of our third-party service providers — including cloud hosting providers, game software developers, and analytics platforms — may be located in other countries. When we transfer your personal information outside the Philippines, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

These safeguards may include contractual clauses that require the recipient to protect your personal information to the same standard as required under Philippine law, or transfers to countries that have been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection.

By using the taya888 Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to countries outside the Philippines where our service providers operate, subject to the safeguards described above.

taya888 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes that significantly affect how we collect or use your personal information, we will provide more prominent notice, such as an email notification or a banner on the taya888 Platform, prior to the changes taking effect. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Your continued use of the taya888 Platform following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the updated Policy, you must stop using the Platform and close your account.
