Certain technical information may be collected automatically when users access a digital platform.
This may include information such as device type, browser characteristics, operating system, approximate usage information, session details, and technical identifiers.

The Privacy Policy is intended to explain these general purposes so users can better understand why certain information may be required.
Information should not be used for purposes that are inconsistent with applicable requirements or the expectations established by the platform's policies.
5. Account and Transaction Information
When users create an account or conduct transactions through Sabong International, certain information may be necessary to provide the requested service.
Transaction-related information may include details associated with deposits, withdrawals, payment methods, transaction references, and related account activities.
Payment information may also be processed through applicable payment service providers. Users should review the relevant terms and privacy practices of third-party payment services when applicable.
For account security, users should never disclose passwords, PINs, one-time passwords, or authentication codes through customer support or other unofficial channels.

These technologies can help with functions such as:
- Maintaining session functionality
- Remembering selected preferences
- Understanding platform usage
- Improving navigation
- Supporting security functions
- Measuring technical performance
The availability and purpose of cookies may vary depending on the platform configuration.
Users may also have browser-level controls that allow them to manage or restrict certain cookies. Disabling some technologies may affect the functionality of particular platform features.
7. Information Sharing
Sabong International does not intend to share personal information indiscriminately.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to provide services, operate the platform, protect users and systems, process transactions, investigate suspected unauthorized activity, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
Depending on the circumstances, relevant information may be accessible to service providers, technology partners, payment providers, professional advisers, regulators, or competent authorities where appropriate.
Third parties that receive information for legitimate operational purposes may have their own privacy obligations and policies.
8. Data Security
Protecting information is an important part of the Privacy Policy framework.
Sabong International aims to apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to help protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss.
However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should also take appropriate precautions when accessing their accounts.
Recommended account-security practices include:
- Using strong and unique passwords
- Keeping login credentials confidential
- Avoiding suspicious links
- Using trusted devices and networks
- Logging out when using shared devices
- Reporting suspicious account activity promptly
Security practices may be updated as technology and platform requirements evolve.
9. Data Retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Retention periods may depend on factors such as account status, transaction history, legal requirements, regulatory obligations, dispute resolution, security needs, and legitimate operational purposes.
When information is no longer required, appropriate measures may be taken to delete, anonymize, or otherwise manage it in accordance with applicable requirements.
The Privacy Policy does not establish a single retention period for every category of information because different information may be subject to different requirements.
10. User Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, users may have rights relating to their personal information.
These may include rights to:
- Request access to certain personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask about how information is being processed
- Request deletion where legally applicable
- Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Raise a privacy-related concern or complaint
The availability of these rights may depend on applicable laws, regulatory requirements, and legitimate reasons for retaining or processing particular information.
Users seeking to exercise a privacy right should contact the appropriate official support or privacy channel provided by the platform.
11. Children's Privacy
Sabong International is intended for individuals who meet the applicable legal age and eligibility requirements for the services being offered.
We do not knowingly seek to collect information from individuals who are not legally permitted to use the platform.
If information relating to an underage individual is believed to have been submitted through the platform, the matter should be reported through the appropriate support channel so it can be reviewed and addressed where appropriate.
Parents or legal guardians who have concerns about information associated with an underage individual may also contact the platform through its available support resources.
12. Third-Party Services
The platform may interact with third-party services that support areas such as payments, technology, communications, analytics, security, or other operational functions.
These third parties may process information according to their own applicable policies and contractual or legal obligations.
Users should review third-party privacy notices when they are directed to an external service or voluntarily use a third-party platform.
Sabong International may not control the privacy practices of independent external services, websites, or providers.
13. External Links
The platform may contain links or references to external websites and services.
Visiting an external website means that the privacy practices of that third party may apply instead of the policies described here.
Users should review the privacy notice of any external service before submitting personal information.
The presence of an external link does not necessarily mean that Sabong International controls, operates, or endorses the privacy practices of that external website.
14. Changes to This Policy
The Privacy Policy may be updated when necessary to reflect changes in platform services, technology, legal requirements, operational practices, or privacy standards.
When significant changes are made, the updated policy may be published through the appropriate platform channel.
Users are encouraged to review this page periodically to remain informed about how information may be handled.
The effective date or latest revision date should be checked on the published version of the policy.
15. Contacting Us About Privacy
Questions about this Privacy Policy, personal information, account privacy, or information-handling practices should be directed through the official support or contact channels provided by Sabong International.
When submitting a privacy-related request, users should provide enough information for the concern to be understood while avoiding unnecessary disclosure of sensitive credentials.
Do not include passwords, PINs, authentication codes, or other confidential account-security information in a privacy inquiry.
16. Your Responsibility
Privacy protection is a shared responsibility between the platform and its users.
Sabong International works to maintain appropriate information-handling practices, while users should take reasonable steps to protect their own account credentials and personal information.
Keeping contact details current, using secure passwords, avoiding suspicious communications, and reporting unusual activity can help reduce potential security risks.
