Tongits Privacy Policy for Philippines Players

Your Privacy, Our Responsibility

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how tongits collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players who access our platform at tongits.biz. By registering an account or using any part of the platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in accordance with applicable data privacy laws in the Philippines, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). This policy applies to all registered players, visitors, and anyone who interacts with our platform, whether through a desktop browser or a mobile device. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, you may reach out to our support team using the contact details provided on the site.

2. Information We Collect

When you register an account on tongits, we collect personal information that is necessary to verify your identity and provide you with a safe gaming experience. This includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. We also collect financial information such as your preferred payment method and transaction history in Philippine pesos (PHP) to process deposits and withdrawals accurately. During your use of the platform, we automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us maintain platform security, detect suspicious activity, and improve the overall performance of the site for players across the Philippines.

3. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we collect is used primarily to operate and maintain your account on the tongits platform. We use your identity details to verify your eligibility to play, comply with age verification requirements, and process financial transactions in PHP. Your contact information may be used to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our terms or this privacy policy. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data to analyse platform usage trends and improve the gaming experience for all players in the Philippines. We do not use your personal information for any purpose beyond what is described in this policy without your explicit consent.

4. Sharing of Information

Tongits does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes under any circumstances. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and technical infrastructure providers. These partners are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and only for the specific purposes for which it was shared. We may also disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request. In all cases, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is protected during any such disclosure.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as required by applicable laws and regulations in the Philippines. If you choose to close your account, we may retain certain records for a period of time as required for legal, regulatory, or fraud prevention purposes. Transaction records and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum period as mandated by Philippine financial regulations. Once the retention period has expired and there is no legal basis for continued storage, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised. You may request information about the specific retention periods applicable to your data by contacting our support team.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and the tongits platform is encrypted using secure protocols to prevent interception during transmission. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions. We conduct regular security reviews and updates to our systems to address emerging threats and maintain a high standard of data protection. Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and we encourage players to use strong, unique passwords and to keep their account credentials confidential at all times.

7. Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a player based in the Philippines, you have rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 with respect to your personal information held by tongits. You have the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to request corrections if any information is inaccurate or incomplete, and to request the deletion of your data where there is no longer a legal basis for its retention. You also have the right to object to certain types of data processing and to withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team with your request, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable law.

8. Cookies and Tracking

The tongits platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and ensure the platform functions correctly on your device. Cookies are small text files stored on your browser that help us remember your preferences, maintain your session, and analyse how players interact with different parts of the site. We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in and to process transactions securely, as well as analytical cookies to understand platform usage patterns. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time, although disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the platform. By continuing to use the tongits platform, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

9. Changes to This Policy

Tongits reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make significant changes, we will notify registered players via email or through a prominent notice on the platform. The updated policy will take effect from the date it is published on this page, and your continued use of the platform after that date constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information. If you disagree with any changes to this policy, you should discontinue use of the platform and contact our support team to discuss your options.
