Contact Information/Financial Information

Our website’s registration and order forms require users to provide us with contact information to establish subscription accounts and purchase services and products.

The Pl@forums also stores the financial information entered by users, such as credit card numbers, purchase order numbers and related identification information. The financial information is only used to bill the user for products and services.

The Pl@forums does not rent, sell or exchange user information, and generally restricts access to user information to qualified The Pl@forums employees and agents. The Pl@forums may transmit a customer’s credit card data only to the appropriate credit card company and/or credit card payment processing company.
