Third-party services
Third-party service providers will generally only collect, use, and disclose personal information to the extent necessary to fulfill the services provided. However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information BESIDE Habitat is required to provide for client purchase transactions. With respect to these service providers, we recommend that clients read the privacy policies of third-party service providers carefully to understand how they treat personal information. As well, some providers may be located or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than BESIDE Habitat or our clients. By deciding to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party supplier, clients acknowledge that their personal information may be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that supplier or its facilities are located. For example, if completing a transaction processed through a payment gateway located in the United States, the information used to complete the transaction of a client located in Canada could be disclosed under United States law, including the Patriot Act.
