SECTION 5- PAYMENT

When possible, we prefer all donors to use a credit card to complete their purchase, and upon doing so, our third-party payment provider will gather your payment information to complete the transaction. Let Africa Live DOES NOT store your, or any donors, credit card information. Your transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.

SECTION 6 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The third-party provider(s) used by Let Africa Live will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

There are expectations as some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and payment processors may have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them.

We do recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Several providers may have locations that are outside of the State of Minnesota and, as such, are located in jurisdictions that may have laws and regulations that may not be known to you or us. 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.

Upon leaving our Site or you are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Site’s Terms of Service.
