Authorize.Net takes privacy and data protection issues seriously. We have designed this Privacy Policy to explain how we handle personally identifiable information collected from merchants who register for services and submit information to Authorize.Net through the Internet.As the Authorize.Net services evolve, we may revise this policy, so please check back frequently. If you have questions about Authorize.Net privacy practices please contact us at support@authorize.net.

This Privacy Policy covers Authorize.Net's treatment of personally identifiable information collected from merchants (hereafter "merchant" or "you") who use the Authorize.Net 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 Authorize.Net's business partners may share with it.

Information Collection and Use

Authorize.Net collects personally identifiable information when you register for an Authorize.Net account, and when you use certain Authorize.Net products and services.

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 www.authorizenet.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.

Authorize.Net 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.

Personally identifiable consumer information is used to process payment transactions and for no other purpose.

Authorize.Net does not offer services or sell products to children. Authorize.Net does not request or knowingly collect personally identifiable contact information from anyone under the age of 13.

We share and disclose such information only as described below. Personally identifiable consumer information is shared with third parties (such as banks and credit card processors) to the extent necessary for Authorize.Net to deliver payment processing services.

We also may release personally identifiable information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Merchant Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Authorize.Net, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and risk reduction.
