Financial information is processed on encrypted, secure servers. Professional Development Resources is the sole owner of the information collected on www.pdresources.org.

We request information from the user so that we can process ordered items. A user must provide contact information including billing address, credit card number, and expiration date. This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.

Third Party Intermediaries

We use a credit card processing company to bill users for services. This company does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
