Scope Privacy Policy Basics
This Privacy Policy covers
PaymentWorld’s treatment of personally identifiable information
collected from merchants (hereafter “merchant” or “you”)
who use the
PaymentWorld payment gateway services, as well as consumer information that we
acquire in the course of our business. This Policy also
covers the treatment of personally identifiable information that
PaymentWorld’s business
partners may share with it.
This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that
PaymentWorld does not own or
control, or to people that
PaymentWorld does not
employ or manage.
Information Collected and It's Use
PaymentWorld collects personally identifiable information when you register for an
PaymentWorld account, and when you use certain
PaymentWorld products and services.
PaymentWorld may also receive personally identifiable information from its resellers and other
business partners.
When you register with
PaymentWorld, we ask for your contact information (such as your name,
street address and email address), as well as
certain information pertaining to your business, along with billing information such as a bank account and/or credit card number.
In the course of processing a payment transaction, we typically receive from the merchant or a financial institution information related to the
transaction. This normally includes information about the payment that a consumer has furnished the merchant or financial institution in placing
the order. We do not acquire any information directly from consumers through the
privacy@paymentworld.com Web site.
The personally identifiable information we acquire in processing payment transactions varies according to the nature of the transaction and the
way in which merchants or financial institutions are using our payment services. It may include, for example, the amount of the transaction,
the consumer’s name, credit card number and expiration date, checking account number, billing address, and shipping address.
PaymentWorld uses the information collected to fulfill your requests for certain products
and services, to process payment transactions, to facilitate billing, and otherwise deliver the payment gateway services. We may also send merchants
service announcements, newsletters, and periodic notices about specials, new products and services and products and services offered by
PaymentWorld business partners. Personally identifiable consumer information is used to
process payment transactions and for no other purpose.
PaymentWorld does not offer services or sell products to children.
PaymentWorld does not request or knowingly collect personally identifiable
contact information from anyone under the age of 13.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Protecting personally identifiable information about merchants and consumers is an important part of our business. We share and disclose such
information only as
described below.
PaymentWorld sends personally identifiable information about you to other companies or
people: 1) when we have your consent to share the information;
2) when we need to share your information with third parties, such as banks and credit card processors, to provide the product or service you have
requested;
3) in connection with products and services offered by
PaymentWorld business partners and/or
companies who work on behalf of
PaymentWorld to
provide a product or service to you; 4) to comply with federal, state and local laws, including credit reporting laws and card association rules; 5)
it is necessary to enforce or apply the terms and conditions of our Merchant Agreement and other applicable agreements; or 6) it is
necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of
PaymentWorld, our users, or others,
which may include the exchange of information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.
In the event that
PaymentWorld is acquired, merchant account information may be one of
the transferred assets.
Information Security
Information security is critical to our business. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We store information gathered on secure computers located in a locked data center. The number of employees
involved in the management of the data center that have physical access to these computers is limited. We use firewalls and other security technology to prevent
our computers from being accessed by unauthorized persons.
We also require that any personally identifiable consumer information sent to us by you be encrypted using SSL encryption.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your Login ID/password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished
using a computer, whether or not it is shared, and otherwise protect and periodically change the password used to access the
PaymentWorld services.

PaymentWorld gives you the ability to edit your
PaymentWorld Account Information and preferences at any time, including whether you want
PaymentWorld to contact you about specials and new products, by using the Settings option
in your Merchant Menu (see the
