Verification with Stripe is secure. All verifications are encrypted using SSL security protocols. You can be confident that the animalhotels.com platform and Stripe are protected when you see a closed padlock icon next to the URL in your browser or verify that the URL starts with "https".
Additionally, Stripe is certified as a PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most strict level of certification in the payments industry. Achieving this certification requires the implementation of advanced security tools and measures.
All card numbers are encrypted at rest using AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe's internal servers can access card numbers in plain text. Stripe's infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers operates in a separate hosting environment and does not share credentials with Stripe's core services (API, website, etc.).
Important: animalhotels.com and Stripe will never ask you for passwords or PINs! If anyone requests this information from you, notify the police or the animalhotels.com team immediately.
