1. Our Security Principles

We operate under these core principles:

• Confidentiality: Only authorized individuals may access sensitive data.
• Integrity: Data must remain accurate, complete, and tamper-proof.
• Availability: Our systems must remain operational and reliable when you need them.
• Transparency: You deserve to know how your information is protected.

2. Data Encryption

We use industry-standard encryption technologies to protect data in transit and at rest.

In Transit

• All communications between your device and GalaPay systems are protected using HTTPS/TLS encryption.

3. Secure Infrastructure

Our infrastructure is hosted in secure, professionally managed environments that provide:

• 24/7 monitoring and threat detection
• Redundant power, networking, and hardware systems
• Firewalls and intrusion detection systems
• Regular security patches and updates

Only authorized personnel have access to operations environments.

4. Access Controls

We maintain strict access control measures, including:

• Role-based access restrictions

• Principle of least privilege for all staff and contractors

We actively prevent unauthorized system or account access.

• Service delivery
• Business operations

After that, it is safely deleted or anonymized.

1. We immediately activate our Incident Response Plan
2. Investigate and contain the issue
3. Notify affected individuals if required by law
