Section 01
01 Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how 88taya ("we," "us," "our," "the Platform") collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal information of users ("you," "your") who register and use the 88taya platform — including the sportsbook, online casino, slots, Sabong section, and all associated services available at 88taya.net.
88taya is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. This policy is written in compliance with the Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, along with its Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
By registering an account with 88taya or continuing to use our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have concerns about any part of it, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) through the details at the end of this page before using the platform.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with the 88taya Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy, all of which form part of your agreement with 88taya.
The short version: 88taya only collects what it genuinely needs. It doesn't sell your data to advertisers. It keeps your information secure. And you always have the right to see, fix, or remove what we hold about you.
Section 02
02 What Personal Data 88taya Collects
88taya collects personal data through several channels: directly from you when you register and use the platform, automatically through your device and browsing activity, and from third-party service providers where necessary for verification or payment processing.
The categories of personal data we collect include:
- Identity data: Full legal name, date of birth, gender, nationality, and government-issued ID details (e.g., PhilSys card, passport, driver's licence).
- Contact data: Email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines.
- Financial data: GCash or Maya account details, bank account numbers (for bank transfer withdrawals), and transaction history on the 88taya platform.
- Device and technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, session duration, and login timestamps.
- Usage data: Games played, bets placed, pages visited, promotional codes used, and interactions with the platform interface.
- Communication data: Records of your interactions with 88taya's customer support team, including live chat transcripts and emails.
We do not collect: Sensitive personal information such as religious beliefs, political affiliations, health records, or biometric data — unless specifically required by law or regulators for identity verification purposes in exceptional circumstances, in which case you will be notified in advance.
Section 03
03 Why 88taya Collects Your Data
Every piece of data 88taya collects has a specific, documented purpose. We do not collect information speculatively or "just in case." The table below maps each data category to the purposes for which it is used.
Section 04
04 Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, personal data may only be collected and processed when there is a legitimate legal basis for doing so. 88taya processes your personal data under the following bases:
- Contract performance: Processing your identity data, contact information, and financial data is necessary to create and operate your account and fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
- Legal obligation: We are required by Philippine gaming regulations and anti-money laundering laws to collect and retain certain identity and transaction records for compliance and audit purposes.
- Legitimate interest: We process device and usage data to protect the security of our platform, detect fraud, and maintain the integrity of our services.
- Consent: Where we send you marketing communications or promotional notifications, we do so only where you have opted in. You may withdraw this consent at any time from your account notification settings.
Section 06
06 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
88taya uses cookies and similar technologies on the platform to make the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and analyse usage patterns. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Here's how we use them:
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — maintaining your logged-in session, remembering your preferences, and securing your account. These cannot be turned off without breaking core functionality.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use the platform so we can improve it. We use anonymised aggregated data only and do not use this data to track individual users for profiling.
- Marketing cookies (opt-in only): If you have opted into promotional communications, we may use cookies to deliver relevant offers on the platform. You can opt out at any time in your notification preferences.
You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking essential cookies will affect your ability to use certain features of the 88taya platform, including staying logged in.
Section 07
07 How 88taya Protects Your Data
Data security is something 88taya takes seriously, not just as a legal obligation but as a basic responsibility to our players. We implement multiple layers of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, accidental loss, or disclosure.
- All data transmitted between your device and 88taya servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with 256-bit AES encryption.
- Access to player personal data within 88taya's systems is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis, enforced through role-based access controls.
- All data is stored on servers located in secure data centres with physical access controls, fire suppression, and redundant power systems.
- Regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments are conducted by independent third-party security specialists.
- All staff with access to personal data complete mandatory data privacy training as part of their onboarding and annually thereafter.
Data breach response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, 88taya is required to notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and to notify affected data subjects without undue delay. We maintain an incident response plan for exactly this scenario.
Section 08
08 How Long We Keep Your Data
88taya does not keep your personal data longer than it needs to. Retention periods are set based on the purpose of collection and any applicable legal requirements. The general retention framework is as follows:
When the applicable retention period expires, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with industry best practices. If you close your account, 88taya will retain only the data required by law and will delete the rest within 30 days of account closure.
Section 09
09 Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have specific rights regarding your personal data. 88taya respects and upholds these rights. Here's what you're entitled to, and how to exercise each one.
Right to Access
Request a copy of all personal data 88taya holds about you. We'll respond within 15 working days with a full data report.
Right to Rectification
Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold. Most basic details can be updated directly in your account settings.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data where we have no legal obligation to retain it. Data subject to regulatory retention requirements cannot be erased.
Right to Object
Object to the processing of your data for marketing or profiling purposes. Objections to processing for contractual or legal obligations cannot be upheld.
Right to Portability
Receive a structured, machine-readable copy of data you have provided to 88taya, where technically feasible, for transfer to another service.
Right to File a Complaint
Lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) if you believe your data rights have been violated and we have not resolved your concern.

Section 10
10 Children and Minors
The 88taya platform is strictly intended for adults who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone below the age of 21. If you are under 21, you must not use 88taya or provide any personal information to us.
If 88taya becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 — whether through misrepresentation during registration or any other means — we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Any winnings generated by an underage user will be forfeited in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have created an account on 88taya, please contact us immediately at support@88taya.net so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Section 11
11 Changes to This Privacy Policy
88taya reviews and updates this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, new legal requirements, or improvements in how we communicate with our players. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always show the most recent revision date.
Where a change to this policy materially affects your rights or our use of your personal data in a new way, we will notify you via email to your registered address at least 14 days before the change takes effect. For minor clarifications that do not substantively affect your rights, changes may be made without advance notice.
Continuing to use the 88taya platform after the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated version. If you do not agree with a material change, you may close your account before the effective date.
