When you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed securely by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full payment details on our servers. Stripe may collect your name, billing address, and payment method details in accordance with their Privacy Policy. We receive only a limited summary (last four digits of your card, card type, and billing status) for invoice and subscription management purposes.
