All direct payment gateways adhere to standards set by PCI-DSS managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that our store and its service providers handle credit card information securely.

In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.
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 in connection with transactions related to your purchases.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so that you understand how your personal information is handled by these providers.
In particular, please remember that some providers may be located in a different jurisdiction than you or us or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction. So 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 jurisdictions in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
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 of Service.
