I process payment transactions through PayPal. PayPal maintains compliance with PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), as created by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council, which includes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and JCB. PCI DSS are the security standards that businesses must follow to reasonably care for and safeguard cardholder data.

I have not, and will not, appoint any other affiliate company to process personal information in a service provider role.

I will take steps to seek to ensure that any direct marketing from me and which is sent by electronic means will provide a simple means for you to stop further communications, in accordance with applicable law. For example, in emails, we may provide you with an “unsubscribe” link, or an email address to which you can send an opt-out request.
