We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information other than to trusted third parties who assist us in:
(a) operating our website;
(b) conducting our business; or
(c) servicing you,
so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
In general, these third-party providers will only collect, use and disclose your information for the purpose of and to the extent necessary for performing the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors which you may elect to use, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or 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 are located. As an example, if you are located in Australia and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in 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.
