This notice applies to payments made on mycareerpathway.com (the "Site"), operated by EBSCOed. It describes how payment information is handled when you make a purchase on the Site.

1. How payments are processed

If you purchase a product, subscription, or service on the Site, payment is processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"). When you enter payment card details, that information is collected directly by Stripe on Stripe's hosted payment page. We do not collect, store, or process your full payment card number, card expiration date, or card security code (CVV) on our servers.

2. Payment information we retain

We may receive and retain limited transaction-related information from Stripe, such as a transaction or confirmation identifier, the type and last four digits of the card used, the billing postal code, and the date, amount, and status of the payment. We use this information to confirm and manage your purchase, provide receipts and customer support, prevent and detect fraud, and maintain records as required by law.

3. Stripe's role

Stripe acts as an independent data controller with respect to the payment information it collects and processes. Stripe's handling of your information is governed by Stripe's own privacy policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy. We encourage you to review it. Stripe may use payment and transaction information for its own purposes, including fraud prevention and compliance with legal and financial obligations, as described in its privacy policy. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or data practices of Stripe, and your use of Stripe's services is subject to Stripe's terms and policies in addition to this notice.

4. Retention

We retain transaction records for the period required to meet tax, accounting, audit, and other legal obligations, including after an account is deleted. Closing your account does not delete transaction records we are required to keep.

5. Who may make purchases

Purchases on the Site may be made only by individuals aged 18 or older.
