IMPORTANT CREDIT CARD SECURITY INFORMATION FOR POSITOUCH CUSTOMERS From CC Productions' Director of Operations, Joseph D. Hahn
 All major credit card companies have gone tough on rules to protect customer information. New standards have been around for a few years, but they are just being enforced, particularly among most point-of-sale businesses. You do not want to be caught by the rules, because the penalty is very heavy. Positouch has been meticulously refined to be fully compliant, including the credit card components. In this letter, we want to be sure that you know what is, and what to do to avoid endangering your entire business operations.

Dear Point of Sale Professional,
This letter is for all of our customers, prospects, and business partners to inform you of a potential Security Risk with your Point Of Sale System, (POS) and how you interface with and protect Credit Card information. We strongly advise you to take this communication seriously as it is NOT a marketing ploy by CC Productions or Positouch.
The following has been implemented by the credit card industry and they will impose heavy fines upon anyone found to be non-compliant.
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover have established specific security requirements for the Payment Card Industry, (PCI) and failure to comply with these requirements can result in fines ranging up to $100,000 per month until it is determined your system meets compliance regulations. The focus of these PCI Compliance requirements involve data security to prevent credit card numbers from being stolen from your Point Of Sale System, (in this case, Positouch). CC Productions is taking this opportunity to inform you that your system may NOT be in compliance with these security regulations, however we also want to inform you there are compliant versions of Positouch available to you .
As your POS provider, we take this initiative seriously. When the new Association guidelines were announced, which prohibited the long-accepted and approved practice of storing track data, Positouch implemented changes to its POS application 5.29 to prevent the storage of full magnetic stripe data. The enhanced Positouch products have been made available to all customers since February, 2006 subject to standard upgrade charges.
We can't emphasize the urgency of this matter strongly enough. You can confirm the importance by going to the following Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover web pages:
Please contact CC Productions' main office or your account manager to determine whether your Positouch system is PCI Compliant. Neither Positouch nor CC Productions Inc are liable for any damages you could incur in conjunction with using versions of Positouch which are not in compliance with these new rules and regulations.
Thank you for you immediate attention to this matter.
Joseph D. Hahn
Director of Operations
CC Productions Inc.
