Trust & Security

How we protect your data, your money, and your guests.

Payments

All payments processed by Stripe — PCI DSS Level 1 certified. RentalBot never touches card data.

Funds flow directly from guest to host via Stripe Connect. RentalBot holds nothing.

Strong Customer Authentication (3D Secure) automatically applied when required.

Guests & Identity

Stripe Identity verifies government ID + selfie before guests can pay. Hosts can require this per booking, per property, or for all stays.

Hosts are verified via Stripe Connect KYC before they can collect payments — protecting guests from rental scams.

Stripe handles all chargeback disputes. Hosts are never responsible for fraudulent transactions.

Data protection

All traffic over TLS 1.2+. HTTPS-only across the platform.

Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost factor 12). We never store plaintext credentials.

Database connections encrypted in transit, backups encrypted at rest.

JWT-signed sessions, refresh tokens rotated on every use.
