Privacy Policy
Last updated:
1. Who We Are
TIN Verifier PH (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website tinverifier.ph (the “Service”). We are an independent third-party tool and are not affiliated with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) of the Philippines.
2. Information You Provide
To use the TIN verification feature, you voluntarily provide the following personal information:
- Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- First name, middle name, and last name
- Gender
- Date of birth
This information is transmitted over HTTPS directly to the BIR’s official eServices verification endpoint (revie.bir.gov.ph). We do not store, log, cache, or otherwise retain this data on our servers.
3. How We Use Your Information
The sole purpose of collecting the information above is to forward it to the BIR verification API and return the result to you. We do not use it for any other purpose, including marketing, analytics, or profiling.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties, except:
- Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR): Your verification details are sent to the BIR’s public API as the core function of this Service.
- Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or valid legal process.
5. Cookies and Tracking
This Service does not use tracking cookies, third-party analytics scripts (such as Google Analytics), or advertising technologies. We use only session-level browser mechanisms necessary for the website to function.
6. Data Security
All communication between your browser and our Service is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. Communication between our Service and the BIR API is also encrypted. Because we do not store your personal data, there is no database of your information that could be breached.
7. Children's Privacy
This Service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this Service, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
8. Your Rights (Philippine Data Privacy Act)
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have rights regarding your personal data. Because we do not retain any personal information after a verification request is processed, most of these rights are satisfied by design. If you have a concern, please contact us using the details below.
9. Third-Party Links
This Service contains links to external websites, including the official BIR website and BIR eServices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
