Security & Payment Security

Pay securely with PayPal or your credit/debit card.

Your payment is handled through trusted payment providers. We never store your full card details, and we use industry-standard encryption to protect your information.

How we protect your data

Clear and simple: what we do, what we don’t store, and how you can stay safe.

Encrypted transmission

Your connection is protected with SSL/TLS, helping prevent interception of sensitive data.

We don’t store card details

Card information is handled by secure payment processors. We never save your full card number or CVV.

Fraud & abuse safeguards

We monitor suspicious activity and protect accounts with best-practice security controls.

PayPal payments

  • You can pay using your PayPal balance, linked bank account, or card (depending on your PayPal settings).
  • PayPal may provide extra dispute and buyer-protection options in certain cases.
  • We receive confirmation of payment—never your PayPal login credentials.

Credit / debit card payments

  • Card payments are processed via PCI-compliant providers with secure tokenization.
  • Your bank may require additional verification (e.g., 3D Secure) depending on the transaction.
  • We never store your CVV and don’t have access to your full card number.

Tips to keep your account secure

Small actions that make a big difference.

Use a strong password

Watch for phishing

We’ll never ask for your password by email. When in doubt, contact our support page.

Check billing statements

If you see unexpected charges, contact us and your payment provider as soon as possible.
