6Data Security & Protection
We invest seriously in security infrastructure to ensure your personal data is protected at every stage — whether during transmission over the internet, while stored on our servers, or during internal processing.
Key security measures we implement:
- 256-bit SSL Encryption: All communication between your browser and our servers is secured with banking-grade encryption
- Layered access controls: Only authorised staff with a clear business need may access member data
- Real-time monitoring: An active threat detection system monitors suspicious activity on the platform 24 hours a day
- Regular security testing: Penetration testing and security audits are conducted regularly by independent parties
- Stored data encryption: Sensitive data stored in our databases is also protected with an additional encryption layer
- Secure backups: Data backups are performed regularly and stored at separate, protected locations
7Data Retention and Deletion
Cari188 only retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this policy or as required by law and regulatory obligations.
- Active account data: Retained for the duration your account remains active
- Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years in accordance with anti-money laundering legal requirements
- Support communication logs: Retained for two (2) years from the date of interaction
- Technical data and access logs: Retained for ninety (90) days for security purposes
Once the retention period expires or an account is closed (with no remaining legal obligation to retain the data), your data will be securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to your identity.
