Card Data |

The
use of credit card data by Penn is necessary and facilitates critical
services for the Penn community. However, credit card data, like
Social Security numbers, may be subject to abuse and create risks
of identity theft. |
||||
The
use of credit card data is governed by the Payment Card Industry's
Data Security Standard. The primary focus of the PCI Security Standards
is to help merchants improve the safekeeping of cardholder information
by tightening their overall security standards, which in turn reduces
their chances of experiencing security breaches, fraud, and potential
catastrophic financial losses. |
||||
Penn
has a compliance program aimed at the credit card activity that
much meet these PCI Standards. If you are not currently participating
and/or if you have questions, please contact the Treasurer's Office. |
