ARTICLE 5 – SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES
In general, 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 regarding the information we are required to provide them for your purchase transactions.
Regarding these providers, we recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
It is important to remember that some providers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. So, if you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may then be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or the jurisdiction in which their facilities are situated.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information that belongs to you and was used to complete the transaction may be disclosed under U.S. legislation, 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 the Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use of our website.
