In addition, we require you to include your other personal information, such as your credit card number. MDGFOA does not release that information to other parties, except in the event we are required to do it by law or as a part of a MDGFOA contract. For example, MDGFOA is currently under a contract with Bank of America, an entity that provides various mechanisms enabling secure credit card payments over the Internet.
