Re: liability....and how about some company control?

I never got why companies hold so much information on us...

I have a small business... The amount of information I keep on customers is minimal, only what I need to actually perform the service for them.

And actually storing bank details in a way that can be accessed over the internet??? are they mad?

Surely you have a one-way internal API call for that data, actual credit card data stored encrypted in that system and ONLY the payment processor should have access to the private key to decrypt?
