    Security is our top priority. Here are the best practices for secure migrations and how we protect your data.
API Key Security
Use Restricted Keys
- Always prefer restricted API keys over full access keys
 - Grant only the minimum permissions needed
 - Regularly audit and rotate your keys
 
Key Management
- Never share API keys via email or chat
 - Store keys securely in your organization
 - Delete unused keys promptly
 - Monitor key usage in Stripe dashboard
 
Data Protection
During Migration
- All data transfer uses HTTPS encryption
 - We never store your API keys permanently
 - Migration data is encrypted at rest
 - Access is logged and monitored
 
After Migration
- We don't retain your Stripe data
 - Migration logs are purged after 30 days
 - You control all migrated data in your destination account
 
Account Isolation
Source Account Safety
- We only perform read operations on source accounts
 - No data is ever modified or deleted
 - Your existing billing continues uninterrupted
 - Customers are not affected in any way
 
Destination Account Control
- You have full control over migrated data
 - Delete or modify any migrated objects as needed
 - The migration is completely reversible
 
Compliance Considerations
Data Residency
- Understand where your data will reside after migration
 - Different Stripe accounts may be in different regions
 - Review your compliance requirements before migrating
 
Audit Trails
- Full migration logs are available
 - Track what data was migrated and when
 - Export logs for compliance reporting
 
Testing Best Practices
Use Test Mode First
- Always test migrations in Stripe test mode
 - Verify the process works with your data structure
 - Test with a subset of data first
 
Validation Procedures
- Compare source and destination data
 - Verify billing amounts and cycles
 - Test subscription management functions
 
Emergency Procedures
If Something Goes Wrong
- Contact support immediately
 - Provide your migration ID and error details
 - We can help identify and resolve issues quickly
 
Rollback Process
- Delete migrated data from the destination account
 - This has no impact on your source account
 - You can restart the migration anytime
