Credit Card / Payment Information Policy — How We Protect Credit Card Numbers
Published August, 2013
DBA may collect credit card information in the course of business on our sites. We strive to protect the confidentiality and security of this information in our possession, custody or control by (i) limiting access to card numbers, and (ii) maintaining reasonable safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse or unlawful disclosure of card numbers. No credit card information is stored or logged on any system housed at the DBA — this information is passed straight to our payment processor and always communicated over encrypted communication channels.
