Security of info when subscribing. I tend to use major card processors like ccBill or Epoch when subscribing to a pornsite. When I click on 'Join Now' I'm typically taken to a site apparently related to the above companies root addresses. At most I might have to first hand over an email address before getting to that payment processor page, which the pornsite later use to email rejoining offers etc. But joining a minor site recently, the screen into which I was to type all my credit card, CVC, address and name info was derived from the pornsite's own web address, making me suspect they would then have full access to all of the above info, not just my payment and email address. Am I wrong? | |

Some websites store your payment information, sometimes even including the CVC on your credit card. It depends on the website. Most websites do not store the credit card CVC. But it can depend. If you have security concerns, try to see about using PayPal or a similar service to fund your membership. They are supposed to protect your financial records. Or some people use a pre-paid credit card for that purpose, but I've never used one. I thought the bother, and expense/whatever of using a pre-paid credit card wasn't worth it. But a pre-paid credit card not only protects your financial information, but, if you only keep a small amount of credit on the card, prevents most over-charges. Having said that, I've used different credit cards for porn for over 20 years, and never had any problems from porn overcharges. So I've been lucky. | |

Hi LKLK, Sorry for the delay, I missed your response. I do use a prepaid card, the moderate extra cost is worth it to separate my personal banking from the dodgy world of porn. But you seem to confirm my worst fears, that everything including my card no, CVC and address is in the hands of those pornsites that do not fully redirect to the payment processor's site. And smaller sites tend to be the most at risk of hacking as they don't have the same resources for IT security that the big ones do. Surely storing this data can never be OK? | |
