Security and Payment Safety

Last updated: August 27, 2025

We do not store credit card information

For your safety, our platform never stores full credit card numbers, CVV, or magnetic stripe data on our servers or in our databases. All credit card processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. Stripe securely tokenizes payment details and returns a token that we use to complete transactions.

This design keeps sensitive card data out of our environment and reduces risk while leveraging Stripe’s world‑class security controls.

Overview

We follow security best practices across our application, infrastructure, and operational processes. Below are the highlights of how we protect information for children, parents/guardians, and staff.

Encryption

  • All traffic is protected with HTTPS/TLS in transit.
  • Sensitive secrets stored using industry‑standard practices.

Access Controls

  • Role‑based access and least‑privilege for staff accounts.
  • Session protections, CSRF tokens, and auth checks on sensitive actions.

Operational Security

  • Audit logging of key administrative and financial events where supported.
  • Backups and continuity measures to protect against data loss.

Privacy by Design

  • Collect only what is needed to provide childcare services.
  • Tools to help organizations meet privacy obligations. See our Privacy Policy.

About Stripe Payment Processing

Stripe is a leading global payments platform certified to the highest PCI DSS level. When you enter card details during checkout, they are sent directly to Stripe over a secure connection. We receive a non‑sensitive token from Stripe and use that token to create charges or set up billing. This means your card details do not pass through or reside on our servers.

  • PCI DSS Level 1 certification and routine security assessments.
  • Advanced fraud detection and dispute handling tools.
  • Secure tokenization of card data; no raw card numbers stored by our platform.
