Sabong Privacy Policy – Your Data, Explained Plainly

1 Who This Policy Applies To

This Privacy Policy applies to all players who register an account, visit the sabong website, or use the sabong mobile app. Sabong is an online gaming platform operated exclusively for players based in the Philippines. If you are accessing the platform from outside the Philippines, this policy still applies to any personal information you provide during registration or use.

By creating a sabong account or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you are not comfortable with how sabong handles personal data as described here, you should not create an account or continue using the platform.

2 What Information We Collect

Sabong collects personal information that is necessary to operate the platform, verify player identity, process transactions, and comply with applicable standards. The types of information we collect include:

We collect only the information necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal information — such as religious affiliation, political views, or health data — as part of normal platform operations.

3 Why We Collect Your Information

Every piece of information sabong collects serves a specific operational purpose. We do not collect data for the sake of it. The main reasons we process your personal information are:

• Account creation and management – To set up your sabong account, verify your identity, and manage your player profile throughout your time on the platform.
• KYC compliance – To confirm that you are who you say you are, that you meet the 21+ age requirement, and that your account belongs to a real person based in the Philippines.
• Transaction processing – To process deposits and withdrawals in PHP through supported Philippine banking and e-wallet channels, and to maintain accurate financial records for your account.
• Platform security – To detect and prevent fraud, account takeover, money laundering, and other prohibited activities outlined in the sabong Terms and Conditions.
• Responsible gaming – To monitor gaming patterns that may indicate a player needs support, and to apply limits or exclusions where requested or required.
• Customer support – To respond to your questions, resolve account issues, and communicate important changes to the platform.
• Platform improvement – To understand how players use sabong, which features are working well, and where the experience can be improved — using aggregated, anonymised data wherever possible.

4 How We Store and Protect Your Data

Sabong takes the security of your personal information seriously. All data transmitted between your device and the sabong platform is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. Account access is protected by password authentication and OTP-based two-factor verification.

Personal data is stored on secured servers with access restricted to authorised sabong personnel who need it to do their jobs. We apply technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data being held.

No online platform can guarantee absolute security, but sabong's systems are designed to minimise risk. If a data breach ever occurs that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable requirements.

5 Sharing of Personal Information

Sabong does not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not trade player information as a commercial asset. There are, however, limited circumstances in which your data may be shared:

• Service providers – Sabong works with third-party providers for services such as payment processing, identity verification, and technical infrastructure. These providers access only the data they need to perform their specific function and are required to handle it securely and confidentially.
• Legal obligations – Where required by applicable Philippine law or in response to a lawful request from a government authority or law enforcement body, sabong may disclose personal data as legally required.
• Fraud and security investigations – Where there is reasonable suspicion of fraud, money laundering, or abuse of the platform, relevant data may be shared with appropriate parties as part of an investigation.

In all cases of data sharing, sabong limits what is disclosed to what is strictly necessary for the stated purpose. We do not share your gaming history, personal details, or financial information with advertisers or marketing companies.

6 Cookies and Platform Analytics

The sabong website and mobile app use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support the technical operation of the platform and improve the player experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit sabong.

The types of cookies we use include:

• Essential cookies – Required for the platform to function, including keeping you logged in during a session and maintaining your preferences.
• Analytics cookies – Used in aggregate and anonymised form to understand how players navigate sabong, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues occur. This data is used to improve the platform and is not linked to individual identities.
• Security cookies – Used to detect and prevent fraudulent login attempts and suspicious account activity.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the sabong platform.

7 Your Rights Over Your Personal Data

8 Data Retention

Sabong retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period after account closure. The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the reason it was collected.

Transaction records and KYC documentation are retained for longer periods to meet legal and security obligations — typically in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

If you close your sabong account and have no pending transactions or disputes, you may request early deletion of your personal data subject to the limitations described in Section 7 above.

9 Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the sabong platform, new service features, updated payment processing arrangements, or changes in applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the sabong platform after any update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically, particularly before making significant changes to your account or payment method arrangements.
