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 to us.

So 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 reside. As an example, if you reside in Canada and the transaction payment gateway is based out of the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our store’s website or redirected to a third-party site or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
