With these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled.

Take into consideration that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located within a different jurisdiction than you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Example: If you are located outside the U.S. and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completion of that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
