7. Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors. We may receive limited payment-related information, such as transaction status, payment confirmation, billing details, fraud-prevention information, and related payment records.

However, no website, network, payment system, transmission method, or storage method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our safeguards or access your information.
