Security Policy

Last Updated: January 2026 | Version 1.1

Introduction

There is no such thing as “perfect security.” At Golf Traders Hub, we strive to balance strong security measures with making transacting with us safe, simple, and convenient.

Our Security Responsibilities

  • Our website is hosted in a secure server environment using firewalls and advanced security measures.
  • Information you provide, stored on or transmitted through our systems, is protected using encryption where appropriate.
  • Links from our systems to third-party systems (e.g., payment gateway) are secure.
  • Regular backups of data are performed to ensure recovery in case of disaster.
  • Access to our system is logged to identify and resolve unauthorized behavior.
  • Payment information is secured, and our payment system complies with accepted standards relevant to the transaction type.

Our Security Disclaimers

  • Third-party systems we link to (e.g., payment gateways) are responsible for security during data collection or transmission.
  • We use reasonable efforts to maintain website security but cannot guarantee that no harmful code will enter the website.
  • We cannot be held responsible for issues caused by:
    • Information you provide;
    • Your computer being compromised;
    • Events beyond our control.

We will assist wherever possible.

Your Security Responsibilities

Recommended Steps

  • Install and activate appropriate security software (anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam).
  • Run regular virus scans.
  • Keep your security software updated.

Additional Steps

  • Check your browser’s security settings.
  • Ensure pages are secure (look for HTTPS or a lock icon) when entering sensitive information.
  • Log out after completing transactions.

Protecting Your Password

  • Never share your password.
  • Never send your password via email.
  • Create a strong and unique password.

Credit Card Information

Transacting electronically with Golf Traders Hub is safe and secure, equivalent to in-person transactions.

Payment Processing

We do not process credit card transactions directly. Payments are handled via approved gateways such as PayFast and TradeSafe, affiliated with our bankers, First National Bank. Credit card details are not stored on our website. Gateways use SSL encryption.

Payment Verification

Certificate Authorities (CAs) verify service provider documents and domains to ensure authenticity and prevent fraud.

Secure URL

We operate only on secure URLs. If a URL does not start with HTTPS, you may be on an incorrect website.

Verification Programs

We do not currently support Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode. You can still use your Visa or MasterCard without these programs.

Phishing

  • Always log in via URLs starting with https://golftradershub.co.za. Subdomains for specific logins will be communicated clearly.
  • We will never request your username, password, or sensitive information through email links (except for initial registration verification). Report suspicious emails immediately.

Contact Us

Please report any suspicious or unauthorized activity related to our website. Your reports help maintain a safe and secure environment.

Our Right to Take Action

We reserve the right to take any action deemed necessary to preserve the security and reliable operation of our system. You agree not to engage in actions that could compromise our system.
