This requires us to share user name, credit card number, expiration date and billing address with the credit card processing company. However, that’s done only to a limited extent to meet the objective of payment transaction. If you represent a company that wishes to become a Techvedic affiliate or partner, we may also collect certain sensitive business details such as Tax ID number and/or Social Security Number.
