Payment processors maintain their own privacy policies and security practices.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing customer service, maintaining business and accounting records, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, and satisfying tax or other legal obligations.
