ARTICLE 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers we use will collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain 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-related transactions.

Regarding these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully to understand how they will handle your personal information.

Keep in mind that certain providers may be located or have facilities in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third-party provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that provider or 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 used in completing the transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
