To the extent these providers have access to your Personal Data or User Information, we will require that they are legally or contractually committed to comply with applicable privacy laws. In the case of credit card processors, we require that they be PCI DSS-compliant. However, we cannot guarantee with certainty that the computer systems and storage systems whereon these services are offered will not be accessed by unauthorized parties. This is a risk inherent in providing any information or, or conducting any business, online.
