PWS Credit Cards: Ensuring Safe Transactions for Your Orders

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the handling of credit card information within PWS (Personal Web Services) after an order is placed. Participants confirm that credit card details may still be accessible on certain websites despite expectations that they should be deleted post-transaction. It is emphasized that the retention of such data depends on individual website policies, and users are advised to review privacy policies or contact customer service for specific practices. The consensus is that users must take responsibility for managing their data in accordance with these policies.

Thought I read somewhere that credit card info is no longer held on our PWS after it's entered for an order...although I checked on my website on a show I had in August and the card number still shows up....Does anyone know??
 
Yes, they are all still there. If you read the print at the end of submitting a show, one of the things you are agreeing to is to destroy that information after you no longer need it for the show purposes (I'm guessing that means deleting all the old online shows).
 
Hi there,I believe that it depends on the specific website and their policies for handling credit card information. Some websites may choose to delete the information after the transaction is complete, while others may keep it for a certain period of time for record-keeping purposes. It's always a good idea to check with the website's privacy policy or contact their customer service for clarification. Hope that helps!
