ARTICLE 5 – SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES
Generally, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in regard to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase transactions.
Regarding these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
It should not be forgotten that some providers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third party, your information may then be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or those of the jurisdiction where their facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information belonging to you that was used to complete the transaction could be disclosed under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website's Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.
