What should customers do if they have credit card data stored from older versions?
Electronic copies should be deleted from the Point of Sale system unless there is a business need such as federal tax laws where you may need to store receipts for up to 7 years. Records should be stored in a secure facility in accordance with PCI regulations. A Squirrel Systems representative can provide a service rate sheet if a merchant requires assistance deleting old files securely from their Point of Sales system, but the final approval on the PCI compliance will need to come from a Qualified Security Assessor.
