Data Encryption

Encryption in Transit

All data transmitted between your browser and Check Cherry is encrypted using TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 (HTTPS). This includes login credentials, client information, payment details, and all API communications.

Encryption at Rest

Your data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Even if someone gained physical access to our servers, your data would remain unreadable without the encryption keys.

Payment Security

We never store your clients' credit card numbers on our servers.

No Card Storage

Credit card numbers never touch our servers. All payment data is handled by PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processors.

Tokenized Payments

When clients save a card, we only store a secure token. This token cannot be used to retrieve the actual card number.

Secure Payouts

Bank account and tax information (TINs) is stored securely with our payment processor, not in our database.

Quarterly PCI Scans

We perform quarterly PCI compliance scanning to meet Payment Card Industry security standards.
