Please do not send sensitive personal information through an ordinary contact form or email unless we specifically request it and provide an appropriate way to submit it.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, such as [CONFIRM: PayPal, Venmo, and credit/debit-card processor]. These providers may collect payment-card numbers, account details, billing information, and fraud-prevention data under their own privacy policies.

Adela Haunted Tours does not intend to store complete payment-card numbers or card security codes on its own systems. We may receive limited transaction information, such as your name, contact information, payment status, amount paid, transaction identifier, and the last digits of a payment method, when needed to manage your reservation.
