er data unless absolutely necessary, truncating cardholder data if full PAN is not needed, and not
sending unprotected PANs using end-user messaging technologies, such as e-mail and instant mes-
saging.

b. How your Point Vx helps you meet this requirement
Point Vx never stores full magnetic stripe data from the card. For offline transactions PAN and expiry
date are stored encrypted using a unique key per transaction or (in case of ISO8583) generated 3DES
double-length key, which is retained until file exists in terminal. The file is deleted once all content is
sent and confirmed by host.
Point Vx never displays full PAN of the card on the screen (except manual PAN entry dialogue). Full
list of instances where PAN could be output to store outside of the application control represented
in “Appendix C”.
At transaction time PAN is truncated before it is stored, only the first 6 and last 4 digits are stored, or
encrypted in case of ISO8583. For printout of receipts and reports the truncated PAN is sent to the
ECR.
Point Vx never uses end-user messaging technologies for cardholder data sending.
c. What this means to you
For cards read by the Point Vx magnetic stripe reader or chip card reader you do not have to take
any action.
For manually entered PAN and for voice referrals it is never allowed to write down or otherwise
store PAN, expiration date or CVV2.
