At Dustin Rudman Invitational, we are committed to ensuring the security of your personal and payment information. This Security Policy outlines the steps we take to safeguard your data while you browse or make purchases on our website.

1. Secure Online Transactions
All transactions on our website are processed using PayFast, a secure and trusted South African payment gateway that is:

• PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant

• SSL secured

• Uses 3D Secure for credit card payments

We do not store your credit or debit card details on our servers.

2. Data Encryption
Our website uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to ensure that all data transferred between your browser and our servers is safe and protected from interception.
You can verify this by checking for a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar and that the URL starts with https://.

3. System Security Measures
We take the following steps to protect our website and your data:

• Regular security updates and patches

• Secure hosting infrastructure

• Firewall and intrusion detection systems

• Use of secure admin access and strong password policies

4. Access to Your Information
Access to personal customer information is strictly limited to authorized personnel only and is protected by:

• Password-protected systems

• Two-factor authentication (where applicable)

• Staff confidentiality agreements and training

5. Fraud Prevention
We actively monitor transactions for fraudulent activity and may contact you to verify large or unusual purchases. We reserve the right to cancel suspicious orders and report them to the relevant authorities.

6. Data Retention and Disposal
We retain customer information only as long as necessary for:

• Order fulfillment

• Legal compliance

• Customer service

When no longer required, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Third-Party Security
While we use reputable third-party services (such as PayFast, shipping providers, and analytics tools), we are not responsible for their security practices. We recommend reviewing their individual privacy and security policies.

8. Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our security practices or legal obligations. Any changes will be posted here with an updated effective date.
