Depending on the circumstances and governing law, this may include consent, contractual necessity, compliance with legal obligations, or other legally permitted grounds.
Where consent is required, we will obtain it through an appropriate mechanism and provide applicable withdrawal options.

Those providers may process transaction and payment information under their own applicable policies and legal obligations.
Northbound Works does not request full payment card numbers or security codes through general inquiry forms.

Access to personal information is limited to authorized persons and service providers with a legitimate business need.
No electronic transmission or storage method can guarantee absolute security.
