Secure storage of payment card information, using tokenization and compliance with industry standards (such as PCI DSS).

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to continuously updating our practices to safeguard your privacy.
