Security Capabilities and Policy for Transmission of Payment Card Details

At Buying Bahamian, we take the security of your payment information seriously. We have implemented robust security measures to ensure the safe and secure transmission of payment card details during online transactions. Below are the key elements of our security capabilities and policies:

1. Secure Data Transmission

  • SSL Encryption: All payment card details entered on our platform are protected using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, ensuring that sensitive information is securely transmitted between your browser and our servers.
  • PCI DSS Compliance: Our payment processing partners adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a globally recognized security standard for handling cardholder information.

2. Trusted Payment Gateway

  • Third-Party Payment Processor: We use a trusted and secure third-party payment gateway (e.g., TiloPay, Kanoo) to process all transactions. Buying Bahamian does not store or access your payment card details directly.
  • Tokenization: Card details are tokenized during transactions, meaning that sensitive data is replaced with a secure, random string of characters to protect it from unauthorized access.

3. Fraud Prevention Measures

  • Advanced Fraud Detection Tools: Our payment processor employs real-time fraud detection systems to monitor transactions and detect suspicious activity.
  • CVV Verification: We require the card verification value (CVV) for all transactions to ensure that only authorized users can complete payments.

4. Secure Storage

  • No Card Storage: Buying Bahamian does not store payment card details on our servers. All payment information is securely processed through our payment gateway partner.
  • Secure Access: Access to transaction data is limited to authorized personnel and protected through multi-factor authentication and access controls.

5. Customer Responsibility

  • Secure Network: We encourage customers to use secure, private networks when making transactions to avoid potential vulnerabilities on public Wi-Fi.
  • Account Protection: Customers are advised to use strong passwords and monitor their accounts regularly for any unauthorized activity.

6. Incident Response Policy

In the unlikely event of a security breach:

  • We will immediately notify affected users and take appropriate action to mitigate any potential risks.
  • We will work closely with our payment processor and relevant authorities to resolve the issue and enhance our security measures.

7. Ongoing Monitoring and Updates

  • We continuously monitor our platform and payment systems for potential vulnerabilities and update our security measures to meet the latest industry standards.
