  • Payment service providers: Financial institutions, payment processors, and e-wallet providers required to process your transactions — all bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

5 Data Security and Protection Measures

Protecting your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction is our top technical priority. kawanku implements multiple comprehensive layers of security:

  • Encryption in transit: All communications between your device and kawanku servers are protected with 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by banking institutions.
  • Encryption of stored data: Sensitive data such as payment information and identification documents are stored in encrypted format on our servers.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): You can enable two-factor authentication for an added layer of security on your account.
  • 24/7 security monitoring: Our cybersecurity team continuously monitors for suspicious activity and responds promptly to any threats.
  • Strict access control: Only authorised kawanku staff with a genuine operational need are permitted to access users' personal data.
  • Regular security audits: Our platform undergoes penetration testing and security audits by independent parties to identify and address any vulnerabilities.

While we take all reasonable precautions, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure. You also play an important role in keeping your account safe by using a strong password and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.
