PAYMENT INFORMATION

Disco does not process payments from users and instead relies on gateways (3rd party payment providers) to process payments around the world. It is the payment providers that handle and store your credit card details.

Credit card information

When making a purchase, you enter your credit card details into a form supplied by the payment provider that will be processing the payment, and this information goes directly to the payment provider‘s server. Your credit card information never reaches Disco’s servers. We do not access and do not store your credit card information. When you save your credit card info, it is saved on the respective payment provider’s servers and the payment provider gives Disco a token that you can reuse for future payments. It is not possible to reconstruct your credit card info from the token.
