Instead, we utilize trusted, certified third-party payment processors (such as Stripe) that are fully compliant with data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These payment processors are responsible for handling and storing your payment details in a secure and encrypted environment. By processing payments through these providers, your data is protected according to the highest industry standards.
