PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

Generally, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us, such as delivery, for example. However, certain 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-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers. Remember that some providers may be located or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than you or us. Therefore, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. Once you leave our 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 of Service.
