Thank you for visiting Aviation ePayments and reviewing our security statement. The purpose of this statement is to let you know how we protect information you may choose to provide to us.

The City of Phoenix Aviation Department has taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its data and prevent unauthorized access to information it maintains, including but not limited to auditing, authentication, encryption, and monitoring. The Aviation Department also employs technical and other safeguards to protect financial and other sensitive information for those who choose to do business with the Aviation Department over the Web, such as making electronic payments for goods and services. These measures are designed and intended to prevent data corruption, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and information, and to provide reasonable protection of personally identifying information in our possession.

The Aviation Department recognizes that there is no such thing as "perfect security," so this information should not be construed in any way as giving business, legal, or other advice, or warranting the security of information provided via the Aviation Department’s ePayments Website as fail proof.
