πŸ”’ How We Secure Data

Multi-Layer Protection

From encryption to access control, every layer of ClubOS is engineered to keep your data safe.

01

Encryption

  • All data in transit encrypted using HTTPS (TLS 1.2+)
  • Sensitive data at rest encrypted at the database level
  • Access credentials are hashed and never stored in plain text
02

Role-Based Access Control

Access inside ClubOS is strictly permission-based. Clubs control:

  • Who can view financial summaries
  • Who can manage members
  • Who can access executive-only information

Staff access: ClubOS staff do not have routine access to club data. Administrative access is restricted and logged.

03

Payment Security

ClubOS does not store or process credit card or banking information. All payments are handled securely by Stripe, a PCI DSS-compliant payment processor.

Transaction IDs

Payment Status

Summary Totals

We never see card numbers or banking credentials.

04

Data Ownership

Clubs retain full ownership of their data. At any time, clubs can:

  • Export their data
  • Delete their club account
  • Request complete data removal

We do not retain deleted club data beyond operational requirements.

05

Data Residency

  • Infrastructure hosted with reputable cloud providers with strong security controls
  • Primary data processing follows Canadian privacy principles
  • Transparent about hosting regions upon request
