3. DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

4. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers we use collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to allow them to perform services for us.

However, certain third-party service providers (such as payment gateways and other payment processors) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for purchase-related transactions. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies so you understand how they handle your personal information.

If these third-party providers are located in or have facilities in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours, your information may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Our website may contain links to other websites. Glenn d Watkins is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any website that may collect personally identifiable information.

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed without authorisation, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide us with credit card information, we encrypt this using secure socket layer (SSL) technology and store it with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
