How Keeal Keeps Your Money Safe: Our Security Approach

When you trust a platform with your money, you deserve to know exactly how it's protected. At Keeal, security isn't a feature we bolted on — it's the foundation everything else is built upon.

Here's an honest, detailed look at how we keep your funds and data safe.

Payments: Powered by Stripe

Keeal processes all payments through Stripe, one of the most trusted payment processors in the world. Stripe handles payments for companies like Amazon, Google, and Shopify, processing hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

What this means for you:

• Card data never touches our servers. All sensitive payment information is handled directly by Stripe's PCI DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure — the highest level of payment security certification.
• Fraud detection is built in. Stripe's machine learning models analyze every transaction in real-time to detect and block fraudulent activity.
• 3D Secure authentication adds an extra layer of verification for card payments when required.

Data Encryption

In Transit

Every connection to Keeal is encrypted using TLS 1.3 — the latest and most secure transport layer protocol. This means data traveling between your browser and our servers cannot be intercepted or read by anyone.

At Rest

All sensitive data stored in our systems is encrypted using AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by governments and military organizations worldwide. Even in the unlikely event of a data breach, encrypted data is unreadable without the encryption keys.

Key Management

Encryption keys are managed through dedicated key management services with strict access controls. Keys are rotated regularly, and access is logged and audited.

Identity Verification (KYC)

Our identity verification process is designed to be thorough but not intrusive:

• Document verification uses AI-powered checks to validate government IDs
• Biometric matching confirms that the person submitting documents is the document holder
• Database checks screen against global sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases
• Ongoing monitoring ensures continued compliance, not just at signup

All verification data is encrypted and stored in compliance with GDPR and other applicable privacy regulations.

Infrastructure Security

Cloud Architecture

Keeal runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with:

• Geographic redundancy — data is replicated across multiple availability zones
• Automatic failover — if one server goes down, traffic is instantly routed to healthy instances
• DDoS protection — distributed denial-of-service attacks are mitigated at the network edge
• WAF (Web Application Firewall) — protects against common web exploits like SQL injection and XSS

Access Controls

• Role-based access — team members only have access to the systems they need
• Multi-factor authentication — required for all internal system access
• Audit logging — every access and action is logged and reviewable
• Principle of least privilege — default deny, explicit allow

Compliance

PCI DSS

Through our partnership with Stripe, all card payment processing is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant — the highest level of payment card industry security.

AML/KYC

Keeal implements a comprehensive Anti-Money Laundering program including:

• Customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD)
• Transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting
• Sanctions screening against OFAC, EU, and UN lists
• Regular compliance training for our team

Data Privacy

• GDPR compliant — full data subject rights, lawful basis for processing, data minimization
• Data processing agreements in place with all sub-processors
• Right to deletion — you can request deletion of your data at any time
• Transparent privacy policy — we tell you exactly what data we collect and why

What You Can Do

Security is a shared responsibility. Here's how you can protect your Keeal account:

1. Use a strong, unique password — don't reuse passwords across services
2. Enable two-factor authentication — adds a second layer beyond your password
3. Keep your email secure — your email is the gateway to password resets
4. Review your activity — check your transaction history regularly for anything unexpected
5. Be cautious with links — always verify you're on keeal.com before entering credentials

Our Commitment

Security is not a destination — it's an ongoing practice. We continuously:

• Monitor for new threats and vulnerabilities
• Update our systems and dependencies
• Test through regular security assessments
• Improve based on industry best practices and emerging standards
