Storing card details
Information on how Aurora stores card details.
The only card details we store are the following:
- Last 4 digits of the card
- Card type
- Expiry date
We do not store the CV2 or the full card details, meaning that no one could ever breach our servers and steal credit card information. The reason that we store this information is because of something something called Tokenisation, whereby a transaction has a series of tokens stored against it. This means that rather than storing the card details, we store a secure token which allows us to interact with the payment provider. Without this information, Aurora would not be able to process refunds or take additional payments. It also brings the benefit of allowing customers to select a previously selected card on the checkout, meaning they can place an order without needing to enter their card details again.
We do not and have never stored credit/debit card details
