MinMax will grant access to confidential data to only those employees with a legitimate business purpose for the data. All employees must protect MinMax’s confidential data by following the storage and disposal requirements described in this document.
- 9.5
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Data – PII is a special class of confidential data, which can be used to identify individual customers or employees. Examples of PII include names, addresses, email addresses, and, in the case of our Customers, phone numbers, and payment information within Customer’s account.
MinMax will take steps to minimize the amount of PII we store, and only grant access to employees with a legitimate purpose for the data. All employees must protect Customers’ PII by following the storage and disposal requirements described in the Tango Card Security Policy.
- 9.6
Cardholder Data – Cardholder data is a special class of confidential data, which includes the primary account number (PAN) and card verification values (CVV2) associated with Customers’ credit cards. Computers and networks where MinMax stores cardholder data automatically fall into the scope of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
MinMax (i) minimizes the amount of cardholder data we store, (ii) never stores card verification values post-authorization, and (iii) purges unnecessary cardholder post-authorization information. These data will also receive our highest level of security controls.
All MinMax employees must be familiar with the storage, handling and destruction requirements for cardholder data.

Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, Customer may, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice, request to conduct a full security audit, including, but not limited to, penetration or vulnerability testing of MinMax’s network and systems, including those of any Subcontractor, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing security arrangements and to verify compliance with MinMax’s obligations under this Addendum as well as MinMax’s overall compliance with this Addendum.
