DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

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

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways, analytics companies, and other payment transaction processors, have their privacy policies concerning the information we are required to provide them for browsing or purchasing behavior.

We recommend that you read these providers’ privacy policies to understand how they will handle your personal information.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than you or us. So, suppose you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider. In that case, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that service provider or its facilities are located.

For example, suppose you are located in Canada, and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States. In that case, your personal information used to complete that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
