SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES

In general, the third party suppliers 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.

It is important to recall that some suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you decide to complete a transaction that requires the services of a third party provider, your information may then be subject to 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, your personal information that was used to complete the transaction could be disclosed under the laws of the United States, including the USA PATRIOT Act.
