3 Data Storage and Security

Your data security is our highest priority. 188bos employs a comprehensive range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.

Technical security measures we use:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers — including login credentials and financial transactions.
  • Server-side data encryption for sensitive information stored in our databases.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) which can be enabled for additional login protection.
  • 24/7 activity monitoring to identify and respond swiftly to any unauthorised access attempts.
  • Regular security audits by independent third parties to assess and strengthen our security infrastructure.

Your data is stored on secure servers, and only authorised personnel have access to users' personal information — and only to the extent required to carry out their duties.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no digital system can guarantee 100% absolute security. We encourage you to also help safeguard your account by using a strong password and enabling 2FA.

All third parties working with 188bos are required to meet data protection standards equal to or exceeding our own. We do not work with parties that cannot demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations.
