During this process:

  • We do not collect or store your full credit card or financial account information on our servers.
  • Financial data is provided directly to our third-party processors, whose use of your personal information is governed by their own Privacy Policies.
  • These processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

We receive only the information necessary to confirm your payment and fulfill your order, such as your name, billing address, and email address.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
