SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law, regulation, guidance and
codes to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service, or in compliance with demands or requests
made by local and foreign regulators, governments, courts and law enforcement authorities, and
complying with a court process, or in connection with any litigation.
SECTION 4 - YELLOW
Our store is designed by Yellow, Discover Local and hosted on a third party platform. They
provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services
to you.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then a third party processor
stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to
complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction
information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI
Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American
Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store
and its service providers.
SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your
information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us and
in accordance with the law.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment
transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are
required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
We recommend that you read their privacy policies, so you can understand the manner in which
your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are
located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. 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 jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are
located.
We make every effort to use only third party providers of good repute and to ensure that they
take all necessary measures to protect your data to the best of their abilities, in accordance with
best industry practices and according to law.
As an example, if you are located in the UK and your transaction is processed by a payment
gateway located in Malta, then your personal information used in completing that transaction
may be subject to disclosure under Maltese legislation.
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.
