SECTION 8 – 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.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. We recommend that you read their individual privacy policies, so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled and kept secure by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction to where the order is placed, or where Kooga NZ operates. Should you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, please understand your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in New Zealand and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

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.
