Its legal when they keep note about those 3 digits in their system ?

Not only do they NOT need the CVV2 info on the back of the card, but it is against VISA rules for them to record those numbers anywhere. I would challenge them the next time they try that and grab the card back, get a manager or owner, and let them know that you will be contacting VISA and the police.
I'm being serious here. The 3 digit code (CVV2) on the back of the card is only for card-not-present transactions, and even when it is collected for online transactions, the billing company must delete the code right after using it to verify the card. They can't store it.
