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 to them for your purchase transactions.
With respect to these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
Keep in mind that some providers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. So if you decide to pursue a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, then your information may be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or those of the jurisdiction in which its 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 may be disclosed under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave the site of our shop or are redirected to the website or application of a third party, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or by the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use of our website.
