Why doesn't the whole credit card number show up when I get submissions from people?

    The first 4 and last 4 digits show, but the middle 8 show xxxxxxx.  This is really inconvenient when I have to call my client to get their credit card information when the whole point was to be able to access it on this form.

    Please note that we do not allow users to collect sensitive information like credit card details using the default form fields, this is against our terms of use. Please do read our terms here: http://www.jotform.com/terms/. Our system will replace credit card numbers with * or any masking because we do not allow it in our servers. 

    I have also quoted it here:

    Phishing. You agree that Company may terminate your JotForm Service immediately if a form's purpose is found to be deceptively obtaining: sensitive credit card information, social security numbers, user login credentials, or other sensitive personal information. All these activities are considered as Phishing and any account along with the violating forms will be suspended immediately.
