Security

How we keep your programme and your members safe.

Loyalty data is transaction data. It tells you where someone eats, stays and shops. We treat it accordingly — hosted in region, access controlled, logged end to end, and exportable by you at any time.

Last updated 1 January 2026
Principles

Four commitments we make to every client.

Hosted in region

GCC hosting by default, with market-specific data residency where a client or regulator requires it.

Encrypted everywhere

TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, and secrets held in a managed vault rather than in code.

Logged end to end

Every adjustment, rule change and export is attributable to a person and a timestamp.

Your data stays yours

Full export on request, deletion on termination, and no use of member data for our own purposes.

Practices

The controls behind those commitments.

Your security team can have this as a completed questionnaire — ask and we will send it.

Encryption
TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 at rest, including backups. Secrets are held in a managed vault, never in configuration files.
Access control
Role-based permissions with least privilege, enforced MFA for all staff and admin accounts, and maker-checker approval on sensitive programme changes.
Audit trail
Every points adjustment, rule change and data export is logged with actor, timestamp and before/after state. Logs are immutable and retained for 12 months.
Segregation
Each client's programme data is logically isolated. Staging and production are separate environments with separate credentials.
Backups & recovery
Encrypted backups taken daily with point-in-time recovery, and restore procedures tested on a scheduled basis.
Monitoring
Continuous monitoring on infrastructure and application layers, with alerting on anomalous access patterns and failed authentication spikes.
Secure development
Peer-reviewed code, dependency scanning in the pipeline, and no production data in development environments.
Third parties
A short, reviewed list of sub-processors under contract, each assessed before use and reassessed annually.
If something goes wrong

Incident response, plainly.

Detect and contain

On-call escalation runs 24/7. The first job is containment and preserving evidence, not explanation.

Tell you quickly

Affected clients are notified with what we know so far, in hours rather than days — and updated as we learn more.

Write it up

A written post-incident report with root cause, impact and the fix, shared with every affected client.

Found a vulnerability?

Report it to us privately and we will acknowledge within one working day. We do not pursue researchers who act in good faith.
