Inc. doing business as World Payment
Services™. This Privacy Policy
has been designed to inform you about
our data collection and how we use your

or through other means specified by
applicable state and federal laws.

you to determine if we can provide
you with additional services. Most

and prefer that we continue to contact
them. If you would prefer not to be
contacted we will make information
available to you about how you may
request to have your name removed
from any World Payment Services owned
marketing lists. You may opt out of
any mailings by sending an e-mail
