01 About This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how 888taya collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal data of players and visitors who use the 888taya platform at 888taya.best. It applies to all Filipino players who have registered an account, all visitors to the website, and anyone who contacts our customer support team.
888taya takes the privacy of its players seriously. We know that when you share your personal information with us, you are trusting us to look after it properly — and we do not take that lightly. This policy is written in plain, straightforward English so every Filipino player can understand exactly how their data is handled, without needing to read through complicated legal jargon.
Why Privacy Matters at 888taya
As a gaming platform that handles real money transactions for hundreds of thousands of Filipino players, 888taya processes sensitive personal and financial data every day. Getting data privacy right is not just a legal obligation — it is fundamental to the trust our players place in us.
We comply fully with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and the implementing rules and regulations set by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
By using 888taya, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
02 Data Controller
888taya is the data controller for all personal information collected through 888taya.best. As data controller, 888taya determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is responsible for ensuring that your data is handled in compliance with Philippine data privacy law.
888taya has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing data protection strategy and implementation, monitoring compliance with the Data Privacy Act, and serving as the point of contact for player data inquiries. Contact details for the DPO are provided in Section 14 of this policy.

07 Sharing Your Data
888taya does not sell your personal data to anyone. We share your data only in the following limited and specific circumstances:
7.1 Service Providers
We engage trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf to support platform operations. These include payment processors (GCash, Maya, banks), KYC and identity verification providers, fraud detection services, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, and customer support technology vendors. All service providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict how they can use your data.
7.2 Regulatory and Legal Authorities
888taya is required by law to share certain information with Philippine government authorities in specific circumstances. This includes reporting suspicious transactions to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) under RA 9160, providing information to the National Privacy Commission (NPC) in the event of a data breach, and complying with valid court orders, subpoenas, or lawful requests from law enforcement agencies.
7.3 Business Transfers
In the event that 888taya is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the business, player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify affected players via email before any such transfer takes effect and before their data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Cross-border transfers: Where 888taya transfers personal data outside the Philippines (for example, to a cloud hosting provider), we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place as required by the NPC, including standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.
08 Data Retention
888taya retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. The general retention periods that apply to different data categories are:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years after account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements under Philippine law.
- Transaction and financial data: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction, as required by financial regulations.
- Gaming activity data: Retained for the duration of your account and for three years after closure, used for dispute resolution and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.
- Customer support communications: Retained for two years from the date of the last interaction, unless there is an ongoing dispute or legal matter that requires longer retention.
- Technical and device data: Retained for 12 months from collection, after which it is anonymised or deleted.
- Marketing preference data: Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account, whichever comes first.
When personal data is no longer required, 888taya securely deletes or anonymises it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
