Payment Security at Oxigo: Safeguarding Your Transactions

At Oxigo, we understand that the security of your payment information is of paramount importance. Every time you make a transaction on our platform, we want you to feel confident and assured that your sensitive data is being protected. That’s why we take comprehensive steps to ensure a safe and secure environment for every online payment you conduct.

Our Commitment to Payment Security

To protect your payment details, Oxigo uses the highest standard of encryption technology, working in partnership with trusted third-party payment gateways. This combined approach guarantees that your transactions are shielded from potential threats, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of your payment information.

What is Encryption and Why is it Important?

Encryption is a critical security measure that converts your credit card or debit card information into a complex series of coded data (bits) that can only be read by authorized parties. When you make a payment on Oxigo, the information you enter, such as your card number and expiration date, is immediately encrypted before being transmitted over the internet.

Without encryption, sensitive data could be intercepted by malicious third parties while it travels over the web, potentially leading to identity theft, fraud, or unauthorized transactions. However, because your payment information is encrypted, even if it is intercepted, it is completely unreadable to anyone without the correct decryption key. This means that your data remains secure and safe from unauthorized access throughout the transaction process.

The Role of Our Payment Gateway Partner

Oxigo partners with leading, trusted third-party payment gateways to process your payments securely. These payment gateway partners use state-of-the-art security protocols, including end-to-end encryption, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates, and other advanced technologies to further ensure that your payment details are safe during every transaction.

Once you submit your payment details, the encrypted data is securely sent to our payment gateway partner for processing. The payment processor then verifies your information and completes the transaction without ever exposing your sensitive data. By outsourcing payment processing to our trusted partner, Oxigo ensures that we do not store sensitive payment information on our systems, further reducing the risk of data breaches.

How Encryption Works

The encryption process begins when you enter your credit card or debit card details during checkout. This information is immediately converted into an encrypted code, which is transmitted to our payment gateway partner using a secure connection. This code is then decrypted at the payment gateway, where your payment is processed and authorized. Only authorized parties—such as the payment gateway and your financial institution—have the means to decrypt this information and complete the transaction.

The encrypted data is designed to be unreadable to anyone who may attempt to intercept it during transit, which provides an additional layer of protection. Once the payment is authorized, the encrypted transaction is complete, and no sensitive data is stored on Oxigo’s platform or transmitted to anyone who doesn’t need it.

Information Sharing with Service Providers

While Oxigo takes every precaution to ensure the safety of your payment information, there are instances where your credit card or debit card details may need to be shared with certain third-party service providers or vendors. These providers assist in processing payments, managing customer support, or handling other aspects of our business operations. However, Oxigo only shares your payment details to the extent that is necessary for the completion of the transaction or other services you have requested.

We ensure that any third-party service providers we work with are bound by strict security protocols and data protection agreements. These providers are required to handle your information securely and only for the specific purposes for which it was shared. We also conduct regular reviews and audits to ensure our partners comply with the highest security standards.

Additional Security Measures

In addition to encryption, Oxigo uses a variety of other security protocols to safeguard your payment information, including:

• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Technology: SSL is a standard technology used to create a secure, encrypted connection between your browser and Oxigo’s website. This protects the data exchanged between you and Oxigo from being intercepted during your online interactions.
• Tokenization: Tokenization is the process of replacing sensitive payment details with a unique identifier or token. This token is used for transaction processing, without exposing your actual card details.
• Fraud Detection and Prevention Systems: We employ advanced fraud detection systems that analyze transaction data for signs of suspicious or fraudulent activity. These systems work in real-time to identify and block any potential threats before they can cause harm.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): When applicable, Oxigo utilizes two-factor authentication to provide an extra layer of security during login or payment processing. This method requires you to verify your identity with a second form of authentication, such as a code sent to your mobile device, before completing a transaction.
