With all the V.me posts & bargains recently, thought I should share an email I received regarding a policy update. It may be nothing, but worth a read anyway…
Dear tightarse,
Since the launch of V.me by Visa, we’ve been hard at work providing you with a simple and secure way to pay at your favourite eCommerce sites. We’re writing to make you aware of upcoming changes we’ll be making to V.me to extend the service to even more top merchants, where you shop online and by mobile device. Rest assured, you’ll continue to enjoy the convenience of entering only your email address and password at checkout.
All changes will be reflected in an updated Privacy Policy, but the key changes you should be aware of include:
Transaction History: We will no longer provide your V.me purchase transaction history on the V.me website. As always, you will continue to receive order details from merchants and payment transaction detail directly from the financial institution that issued your payment card.
Payment Card Account Number: Visa may provide your full payment card account number to merchants and their transaction service providers when you pay using V.me. Visa is leveraging its wealth of experience in security and information handling, using advanced security technologies such as industry standard encryption and multilayer authentication, to protect the information as it is stored and communicated.
Information Sharing and Use: The V.me Privacy Policy was updated to clarify our relationship with participating merchants and their service providers and your issuer with regard to sharing of data. Visa provides information to these entities for the purpose of facilitating your V.me transactions and as described in the Privacy Policy. Please note that these parties may have their own privacy policies governing how they will use and disclose personal information. We recommend that you review the privacy policies for those with whom you interact to learn about their practices.
You will receive another email notifying you when these changes take effect. If you’d like to preview the upcoming Privacy Policy, visit https://www.v.me/preview.
We are hard at work building new payment solutions that promise to bring the simplicity and confidence of swiping your payment card to all of your online and mobile shopping experiences.
If you have any questions about your V.me account, please contact us at [email protected].
Thank you,
V.me by Visa
