In the course of processing a payment transaction, we usually receive from the merchant or a financial institution information related to the transaction. This normally includes information about the payment that the consumer has furnished the merchant or financial institution in placing the order. With one exception, we do not currently acquire any information from consumers at this web site. The exception is that we offer consumers the option of providing us a name and e-mail address when downloading a wallet if they want to be notified of wallet upgrades. They do not have to provide that information to download a wallet.
Some consumers choose to bind a checking account to their wallet.

It may include the amount of the transaction, the consumer s name, credit card number and expiration date, checking account number, billing address, and shipping address. Security of Information.
