5. PAYMENT CARD AND BANKING INFORMATION

Financial information requires special care. Pay Plantation® seeks to protect payment-related data through appropriate technical and organizational measures, which may include encrypted communications, access controls, and the use of payment tokenization through authorized providers.

Where payment card information is processed, applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) responsibilities will be determined by the actual payment architecture and service-provider arrangements.

We do not guarantee that every transaction or financial account is covered by deposit insurance or other financial protections. Any applicable bank, wallet, or financial service protections will be disclosed in the relevant product terms.

Faith Seed Giving transaction information may be shared with the recipient church or ministry as necessary to process contributions and maintain appropriate donation records. Such information may include donor identity, contribution amount, transaction date, and information the donor chooses to provide.

Parents or guardians who believe a minor has improperly registered may contact us.

16. INTERNATIONAL USERS AND DATA TRANSFERS

Pay Plantation® is based in the United States.

If the Services become available to users outside the United States, personal information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where authorized service providers operate.

Applicable international privacy obligations and cross-border transfer requirements will be addressed according to the jurisdictions in which Services are offered.

Use of the website does not necessarily mean every financial service is available internationally.

These third parties may operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

We encourage users to review applicable third-party policies before providing personal or financial information.

Pay Plantation® is not responsible for independent third-party privacy practices except as required by applicable law.

Pay Plantation® and its authorized service providers may use automated tools to identify suspicious activity, assess transaction risk, and protect the platform.

These tools may analyze transaction patterns, device information, account activity, and verification results.
