  We may retain limited transaction-related details—such as payment status, invoice numbers, dates, amounts, and partial identifiers (for example, the last four digits of a payment method)—for accounting, reconciliation, and recordkeeping purposes.
  ‍
  The handling of payment information is governed by the privacy policies and security practices of the invoicing platform and its payment processors. We encourage you to review those policies for additional information.
