SECTION 5 - THIRD PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide us. However, certain third party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide them for your purchase-related transactions. For the providers, we recommend you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. IF you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third party website or application, you are no longer governed by our Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
