Our Privacy Commitments to You

1. Information We Collect

When you register and use the tongits platform, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to operate your account and comply with Philippine regulations. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and government-issued identification details required for identity verification. We also collect transactional data such as deposit and withdrawal records, betting history, and payment method details to process your transactions accurately and securely. Technical data — including your IP address, device type, browser information, and session logs — is collected automatically when you access the platform, and this helps us detect fraud, maintain security, and improve platform performance.We may also collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact our support team, submit a complaint, or respond to a survey. All data collection is carried out in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we collect is used primarily to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos, and verify your identity as required by our licensing obligations. We use your data to personalise your experience on the platform, including showing you promotions and content that are relevant to your activity and preferences. Transaction and session data helps us monitor for suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure that the platform remains safe and fair for all players in the Philippines. We may use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our terms or this privacy policy. If you have opted in to marketing communications, we may also send you information about new features, promotions, and events — you can withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review.

3. Sharing of Personal Data

Tongits does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — all of whom are bound by strict data processing agreements and are required to handle your information securely. In certain circumstances, we are legally required to disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines when we receive a valid legal request or when disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or protect the safety of our players. If the tongits business is transferred or acquired, your personal data may form part of the transferred assets, and you will be notified of any such change in advance. We will never share your data with any third party in a manner that is inconsistent with this privacy policy or the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by Philippine law and our regulatory obligations. Account records, transaction histories, and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with anti-money laundering requirements applicable to gaming operators in the Philippines. Technical logs and session data are retained for shorter periods and are regularly reviewed and purged in accordance with our internal data management schedule. When your data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you. You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time, subject to our legal retention obligations, by contacting us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The tongits platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, to remember your preferences, and to analyse how players interact with our pages. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to operate and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use core features such as logging in and placing bets. Analytics cookies help us understand which parts of the platform are most used and where improvements can be made, and these are processed in aggregate form without identifying you personally. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, although disabling certain cookies may limit the functionality available to you. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or allow external advertising networks to track your behaviour across other websites through our platform.

You have the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used, the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and the right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, the right to erasure or blocking of your data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and the right to data portability where technically feasible.

We conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability testing to identify and address potential risks to our systems. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission in accordance with the timelines prescribed by Philippine law.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we protect your personal information.

Common Privacy Questions

Quick answers to what Filipino players most often ask about data privacy on the tongits platform.

No. Tongits does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is shared only with service providers who help us operate the platform — such as payment processors and identity verification partners — and these partners are contractually required to protect your information. We may also disclose data when legally required by Philippine authorities, but this is done strictly in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Your personal information is never used to generate revenue through data brokering or advertising networks. If you have concerns about how your data is shared, you can contact our support team at any time.

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you by contacting our support team using the email address provided in the footer of this page. We will verify your identity before processing the request to ensure that your data is not disclosed to an unauthorised person. Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, we are required to respond to access requests within a reasonable timeframe. The information will be provided in a clear and accessible format, and we will explain how it is being used. If you believe any of the information we hold is inaccurate, you can also request a correction at the same time.

Yes, you can request the deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting our support team. However, please be aware that certain records — such as transaction histories and identity verification documents — must be retained for a minimum period under Philippine anti-money laundering laws and gaming regulations, even after your account is closed. Once the mandatory retention period has passed, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised. We will confirm the outcome of your deletion request in writing. If you simply want to take a break from the platform without permanently closing your account, the self-exclusion options on the Responsible Gaming page may be a better fit.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly. Once you withdraw your consent, we will stop sending promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications within a reasonable processing period. Please note that opting out of marketing does not affect essential account communications such as security alerts, transaction confirmations, and policy update notices — these will continue to be sent as they are necessary for the operation of your account. If you have trouble locating the opt-out setting, our support team is happy to assist. Your preference will be recorded and respected immediately upon confirmation.
