Is it safe to collect credit card information from donors using a fillable emailable form?

I work for a nonprofit and would like to create a fillable pledge form that we would email to current donors.  Our pledge form (which is currently sent and recieved by mail) gives them the opportunity to say how much they'd like to donate and exactly how it should be done (check, credit card, installments, payroll deduction etc).   I know how to create the form and how to put an email / print button on the form.  What I can't seem to find on any threads is an answer regarding how safe the collected information that is EMAILED back to us would be.   Would we be putting our donors at risk by collecting that kind of data via email?  If so is there a way to make it safe - and that doesn't make it complicated for our less tech-savvy friends? Would there be any safety difference between creating the form using LiveCycle vs using the pdf form wizard?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

As you are using email as the vehichle for delivery the question isn't how safe is the form ...it is how safe is the email system that is being used.
The form itself will be a PDF so by virtue of that anyone can open it (unless you employ an encryption strategy but that woudl be a nuisance to your clients). You coudl employ a password to open the PDF but again that is a nuisance for your clients. So secure email might be the easiest way.
Normally this is done by posting the form to a web server using https protocols (secure and encypted) and not through email.

    How can I remove the credit card information from my Iphone 4s?

    What is the exact error message that you are getting ? If it's something about 'a problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase, until that is paid off you won't be able to download anything from the store (including free items, redownloading, and app updates).
    Otherwise, on your phone try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • How do I remove my credit card information from my 17 year old sons I tunes account

    How can I remove my credit card information from my sons iTunes account? He charged something once and now it is there for him to use over and over!

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info on that account by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into the account, and on the account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on the account's page.

  • How do I delete credit card information from my profile?

    How do I delete credit card information from my profile? When I simply delete it, the system forces something to be in those fields. When I type random info in, it forces accurate info. I DON'T want to store credit card info.

    To remove it from your account, tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page from where you can change remove/change your payment details.

  • HT1918 how do i remove my credit card information from my apple account

    How do i remove my credit card information from my apple account

    Hi there
    I am still waiting for an answer.  I see numerous reply that do not answer the question, saying something like go into 'Payment Type' and select 'none'. 
    Well, that does not appear to exist on my account.
    Also, why are there only options to say an answer 'Solved my question'!? 
    What is the point in this self-congratulatory, self-perpetuating cobblers!?
    It's nothing short of sinister that there is not a clear and simple option on how to delete my credit card details from my account.
    I would appreciate a proper response from Apple by return.

  • HT2534 How to remove credit card information from AppleID

    Hi guys,
    I bought one Apps from itunes store using credit card.
    Now, I want to remove my credit card information from this.
    However, there is no such button or icon as "Remove Credit Card info"/ Credit Card "None".
    I'm do not think if the Credit Card info becomes permanent and non-removable on the account.
    So, if you guys know a way to remove the existing Credit Card info, pls let me know.
    Thanks!

    so u found the answer already or nt this whole year? im facing the same problem too now

  • I lost my Ipod touch yesterday. Can I disconnect my credit card information from my account and thereby eliminate that liability?

    I lost my Ipod touch yesterday. Can I disconnect my credit card information from the account to avoid someone accessing my account and charging on it?

    No, Apple cannot locate your iPod for you. If you didn't have Find My iPod set up before you lost the iPod, there's no way to trace it.
    Regards.
