8. Third-Party Services and Websites
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.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies. We recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by them. Be aware that these providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party, your information may become subject to the laws of that jurisdiction (e.g., the USA PATRIOT Act).
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
