By providing your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange delivery, or return an item, you consent to our use of this information for those specific purposes. If we intend to use your information for other purposes, such as marketing, we will either ask for your explicit consent or provide an option for you to decline.

Section 5 – Third-Party Services

Third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform the services they provide for us. However, some third-party providers, such as payment processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information you provide to them for transaction purposes.

We recommend reviewing these third-party privacy policies to understand how your information is handled by them. Additionally, please note that some third-party providers may be based outside your country. For example, if you're in Canada and your payment is processed by a provider in the U.S., your data could be subject to U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer apply.
