DIRECT PAYMENTS
Payment:
If you choose our direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, your credit card data is stored long enough to complete and settle your transaction. Your data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). We do not store your data, nor do we ever see your complete credit card information. Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways 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.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
If you choose a 3rd party payment gateway (e.g. Amazon Payments or PAYPAL) to complete your purchase, then those companies store your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
