How does AfroPin protect PIN codes?

1 minute read Updated 28 Oct 2026
  • Codes are never stored in a readable form: we keep a one-way fingerprint to check a code, and a mask for receipts and reports.
  • Staff on tills and dashboards only ever see masked codes.
  • Customer email addresses and phone numbers attached to PINs are stored encrypted.
  • If a webhook carrying a code can't be delivered, the code is kept encrypted for no more than 72 hours so it can be resent, then deleted.
