This information is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction information is retained only as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is complete, the purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is the result of a joint effort by companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

ARTICLE 5 – SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES

In general, the third-party providers 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.

Regarding these providers, we recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.

It's important to remember that some suppliers may be located or have facilities in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party supplier, your information may then be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where that supplier is located or where 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, your information used to complete the transaction could be disclosed under United States law, including the 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 or our website's Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.
