Our public marketing website does not necessarily receive or store raw credit card information entered through those third-party tools.
When you use pages served over HTTPS, your browser helps protect information in transit. No website or method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
Only employees or authorized personnel who need information to perform a specific job, such as billing or customer service, are granted access to personally identifiable information where applicable. The computers and systems in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
