Carriers may charge recipients for texts that they receive.
  5. Credit Card Purchases: If you purchase or subscribe to any of Zufog’s products, services or promotions, we may collect and store billing and credit card information. This information will only be shared with third parties who perform tasks required to complete the purchase transaction (such as fulfilling orders and processing credit card payments).
