Article 5 - 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 regard to these suppliers, 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 suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than you or us. Therefore, if you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party supplier, your information may be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that supplier is located or 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 could be disclosed under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
