Enterprise-Grade Security for Your Peace of Mind
Last updated: August 2025
When you choose Backyard Brothers as your trusted professional for pool service, repair, and all things pool-related, your security isn't just a priority—it's our foundation.
Unlike many service companies you may have encountered, we don't fumble with phones or hastily scribble down your card information to rush it through some generic payment processor...
We've built our entire payment system around stewarding your personal information with a level of care and security that's simply unmatched in the pool service industry.
Here's what sets us apart: we've partnered with Shopify's enterprise-grade security infrastructure—the same platform that protects millions of businesses worldwide and processes billions in secure transactions. This means when you pay us, you're not trusting a small local company with your sensitive data; you're protected by bank-level security that most Fortune 500 companies pay hundreds of thousands annually to achieve.
Your peace of mind is worth more than cutting corners on payment processing. That's why we've invested in giving you the same security protection you'd expect from major retailers, because your trust—and your financial safety—deserve nothing less.
Your Data is Protected by Bank-Level Security
Every transaction you make with us is secured by the same standards that protect major financial institutions:
- Level 1 PCI DSS Compliance: The highest security certification available, requiring annual on-site assessments and quarterly vulnerability scans
- 256-bit TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our store is encrypted with military-grade security
- Automatic SSL Certificates: The padlock icon you see in your browser confirms your connection is secure
Advanced Fraud Protection Works Behind the Scenes
Shopify's AI-powered fraud detection system analyzes every transaction in real-time:
- 99.7% approval rate for legitimate orders—your valid purchases go through smoothly
- Machine learning algorithms trained on billions of transactions to spot fraudulent activity
- Shopify Protect provides automatic chargeback protection for eligible orders
- $13 billion in merchandise value protected across the platform
Your Personal Information Stays Private
We follow strict data protection standards that exceed global privacy requirements:
- Data minimization: We only collect information essential for your order
- AES encryption at rest: Your stored data is encrypted even when not in use
- Automatic data deletion: Information is removed when no longer needed
- GDPR, CCPA, and international privacy law compliance
Seamless Security That Just Works
Unlike other platforms that require manual security setup, Shopify automatically handles:
- ✅ Free SSL certificates that activate within 48 hours
- ✅ Automatic security updates with no downtime
- ✅ PCI compliance included at no extra cost
- ✅ Fraud monitoring 24/7 across all transactions
Modern Authentication Options
Your account security includes multiple protection layers:
- Passwordless login with email verification codes

- Two-factor authentication for enhanced protection
- Secure account recovery with backup codes
Why This Matters to You
When you shop with us, you benefit from enterprise-grade security that typically costs large corporations over $100,000 annually. Our hosting provider and payment processor includes this protection automatically, so you can:
- Shop with confidence knowing your payment details are secure
- Trust that your personal information is properly protected
- Enjoy fast, seamless checkout without compromising security
- Rely on proven fraud prevention that stops threats before they reach you
