However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and
other payment transaction processors, 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.

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

As an example, if you are located in Canada 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.
