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. For these providers, 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 (see PayPal’s safety and security statement here and their privacy policy here).

In such events, we will only disclose information relevant and necessary to the investigation or inquiry, such as name, city, state, ZIP code, phone number, email address, user ID history, IP address, fraud complaints, and anything else we deem relevant to the investigation.
