1. What Data Do We Collect?

When you register and use tongits land, we collect several categories of personal information to operate the platform safely and in compliance with applicable Philippine regulations. The first category is account information — this includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and the username and password you create during registration. We require accurate identity details to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years and to maintain the integrity of your player account.

The second category is device and browser data. When you access tongits land from your mobile phone, tablet, or desktop, we automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, screen resolution, and session timestamps. This data helps us optimise the platform's performance across the wide variety of devices used by players in the Philippines. The third category covers local payment information — because all transactions on tongits land are conducted in Philippine Peso (PHP) via GCash, Maya, and bank transfer through InstaPay, we collect the payment method details you provide when depositing or withdrawing funds. We do not store full card or e-wallet credentials on our servers; payment processing is handled by regulated third-party processors. We also collect gameplay and usage data, including betting history, game session logs, wager amounts, and platform interaction patterns, which are used for account management, fraud prevention, and responsible gaming monitoring.

2. Why Do We Use Your Personal Data?

tongits land uses the personal data we collect for specific, legitimate purposes that are necessary to deliver a safe, fair, and enjoyable online gaming experience to players in the Philippines. The primary purpose is account creation and management — your identity and contact details allow us to set up your account, verify your eligibility, send you transactional notifications, and respond to your support requests. Without this data, we cannot operate the platform or fulfil our legal obligations as an online gaming operator.

We also use your data for payment processing and fraud prevention. Transaction records and payment details allow us to process deposits and withdrawals accurately, detect suspicious activity, and comply with anti-money laundering requirements applicable in the Philippines. Your gameplay and usage data is analysed to identify problem gambling patterns, enforce responsible gaming measures, and ensure that promotional offers are applied correctly. Additionally, we may use anonymised, aggregated data for internal analytics — for example, understanding which sports markets or slot games are most popular among Filipino players — to improve the platform's content and user experience. We do not use your personal data for unsolicited marketing without your explicit consent, and you may opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies — What's Running in the Background?

tongits land uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform function correctly and to improve your browsing experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use strictly necessary cookies — these are essential for the platform to operate, enabling features like keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, and maintaining your session across pages. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without disrupting core platform functionality.

We also use functional cookies that remember your language preferences, display settings, and last-visited sections of the platform to make your next visit more comfortable. Performance and analytics cookies allow us to understand how players navigate tongits land — for example, which pages are visited most often and where users encounter difficulties — so that we can continuously improve the experience. These analytics are processed in an aggregated, anonymised form and are not used to personally identify you. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the core gaming features of tongits land, though some personalisation features may be limited. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising on this platform.

4. How Is Your Data Stored and Kept Secure?

tongits land takes the security of your personal data seriously and applies industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security), ensuring that your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are protected in transit. Data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest, and access to player data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis.

We conduct regular security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and access audits to maintain the integrity of our data infrastructure. Your account is further protected by password hashing — we never store your password in plain text. We strongly encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your tongits land account and to enable any additional security options available in your account settings. While we apply robust security controls, no system is entirely immune to risk; in the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine authorities in accordance with our legal obligations. Retention periods for your personal data are tied to your account status — active accounts retain data for the duration of the account relationship plus any period required by applicable law, while data for closed accounts is retained for the minimum period required by regulation and then securely deleted or anonymised.

5. Do We Share Your Data with Third Parties?

tongits land does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. However, in order to operate the platform and comply with legal obligations, we do share limited personal information with a small number of trusted third-party service providers under strict data processing agreements. These include payment processors who handle PHP deposit and withdrawal transactions via GCash, Maya, and InstaPay — they receive only the payment and identity information necessary to complete your transaction securely. We also work with third-party game content providers who supply the sports betting markets, live casino tables, and slot online titles available on tongits land; these providers may receive anonymised session and gameplay data for game management purposes but do not receive your personally identifiable information without necessity.

We may also disclose personal data to relevant Philippine government authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies when required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory directive — for example, in connection with anti-money laundering investigations or age verification requirements. In all such cases, we disclose only the minimum data required and only to authorised recipients. If tongits land undergoes a business restructure, merger, or acquisition, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy. We will notify you of any such change through a prominent notice on the platform before your data is transferred to or governed by a different privacy policy.

6. What Are Your Rights as a tongits land Player?

As a player on tongits land and as an individual whose personal data we process, you have a number of important rights under applicable Philippine data protection law. Understanding these rights helps you stay in control of your personal information at all times.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time. We will provide this within a reasonable timeframe in a clear, readable format.

Right to Correction

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it promptly through your account settings or support team.

Right to Deletion

You may request the deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations. Requests will be assessed and actioned within the timeframe required by law.

Right to Object

You may object to certain processing activities, including direct marketing communications. We will honour valid objection requests in accordance with applicable regulations.

Right to Portability

Where technically feasible, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.

Right to Restrict Processing

In certain circumstances, you may request that we limit the ways in which we process your data while a dispute or correction request is being resolved.

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact our support team — contact details are provided in Section 9 of this policy. We will respond to all valid requests within the timeframe required by applicable Philippine data protection law.

7. Protection of Minors

tongits land is an adult-only platform and is strictly intended for players who are 18 years of age or older, in compliance with applicable Philippine law and responsible gaming standards. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process the personal data of individuals under the age of 18. The registration process requires all users to confirm their date of birth and to affirm that they meet the minimum age requirement before an account can be created. We reserve the right to request supporting age verification documentation — such as a government-issued ID — at any point during the account lifecycle.

If we become aware, through any means, that personal data has been collected from a minor, we will immediately suspend the associated account and take steps to delete the relevant data without undue delay. Parents and guardians who believe that their child may have registered on tongits land or submitted personal information to the platform are encouraged to contact our support team immediately so that the matter can be investigated and resolved. Protecting minors from exposure to online gaming content is a responsibility we take seriously, and our age verification and responsible gaming measures are designed with this commitment in mind. Please visit our Responsible Gaming page for more information on the tools and resources available to keep gaming safe and age-appropriate.

8. Will This Privacy Policy Change Over Time?

tongits land may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable Philippine law, or the features and services available on the platform. The most current version of this policy will always be accessible on this page, and the effective date will be updated accordingly. We will communicate material changes — those that significantly affect how your personal data is collected, used, or shared — through a prominent notice on the platform at or before the time the changes take effect.

Your continued use of tongits land following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We recommend bookmarking this page and reviewing it periodically so that you are always informed of how your personal data is being handled. If you do not agree with any updates to this policy, you may close your account by contacting our support team, and we will process your request in accordance with the data retention and deletion provisions described in Section 4. We are committed to maintaining transparency about our data practices and will never make retroactive changes that reduce your data protection rights without first obtaining your explicit consent where required by law.
