When a company mentions sharing data during "implementation," they are referring to the setup phase of a service. To build your website, set up your professional email, or manage your customer profile, they use established platforms.
What is shared? Usually, this includes your name, business email, phone number, and any specific project requirements.
Why is it shared? The company isn't "selling" your data; they are "processing" it. For example, they can't set up your Google Workspace account without giving Google your name and desired email address.
This is the most critical part of the policy regarding your financial security. It indicates a "Pass-Through" model.
The "Secure Gateway": When you type your credit card number into a website, that data is usually encrypted immediately. Instead of going to the company’s server, it goes directly to a specialist (like Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay).
Zero Storage: The statement "we do not share any credit card details beyond this" means they never actually see your full card number. They only receive a "token" or confirmation saying "Payment Successful."
Compliance: This approach helps the company comply with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Operational Privacy | Your data is stored on high-security servers (Google/Microsoft) rather than just a local private hard drive, which is generally safer. |
| Financial Privacy | Your sensitive billing info is handled by professionals, reducing the risk of a data breach on the company's own website. |
| The "Fine Print" | While the company doesn't sell your data, you are also subject to the privacy policies of Zoho, Google, etc., once moved there. |
