10. Your Data Privacy Rights

12. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some taya08 service providers and game platform partners may be located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to countries that may not provide an equivalent level of data protection, taya08 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual data processing agreements that incorporate data protection standards equivalent to those required under RA 10173.

taya08 will not transfer your personal data to a foreign country without first ensuring that adequate protections are in place and, where required by the NPC, without obtaining the necessary approvals.
