PowerCard Privacy Policy

PowerCard will never rent or sell your email address to anyone-ever.
We value the trust you place in PowerCard. We want to ensure that you understand what information we gather about you, how we use it, and the safeguards we have in place in order to protect it. If you have additional questions or would like further information on this topic, please feel free to email us at or call (877) 229-7299. PowerCard may update this policy from time to time. Please check back periodically for changes.

When and how does PowerCard collect information about me?
Whenever PowerCard needs information about you, we explicitly ask for it. When you first register an account with PowerCard, we ask specifically for your name, address, email, phone number, and date of birth. Additionally, each time you make a purchase with a PowerCard merchant, the purchase amount (in the form of "points" is also logged in our database).

Only PowerCard and the merchants you visit have access to your individual information. The PowerCard program helps local merchants better understand shopping/dining trends in their customer base and ultimately improve their products and services. Sharing your information with the merchants you visit helps them to communicate with you on a personal level, to keep you informed, and to increase quality control measures.

Occasionally, we send email and/or US mail on behalf of our merchants-this includes birthday notes and invitations to special events. The merchant provides us with the mailing piece, and then we approve the piece, affix mailing labels, and send the piece to you.

Other examples of when we may ask you to voluntarily provide personally identifiable information include if you subscribe to our email program (information such as your name and e-mail address), choose to provide us preference information (such as interests, product preferences, and items purchased), or when you enter a sweepstakes or one of our promotions (information such as name, address and telephone number).

How does PowerCard keep my information secure?
PowerCard maintains practices and procedures designed to ensure the security, integrity and confidentiality of your information. We restrict and limit access to customer information only to those employees who need it to carry out their business functions, and educate our employees about safeguarding customer information and preventing its unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. When credit card information is transmitted online, PowerCard uses industry standard security measures including, but not limited to 40-bit encryption and VeriSign/Thawte certificates. PowerCard will monitor and adopt, as appropriate, new technological improvements that are designed to aid in ensuring the accuracy and security of customer information.

How does PowerCard handle personally identifiable information collected on children?
Our policy is to not collect information from or about anyone under 14 years old.

Can I "opt out" of receiving promotional emails from PowerCard?
Yes, every email sent from PowerCard has a link at the bottom to "UNSUB".
Please Note: PowerCard email is opt-in only. This means that we do not send you unsolicited email. You have to specifically subscribe to our newsletter-and select the topics you are interested in to receive it in the first place. If you believe you have received email from us in error, just let us know and we will remove your name from our send list.
