The Personal Information that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored in USA. It may be processed by staff that operate in USA and who work for us or for one of our suppliers.

Where the USA data protection laws do not provide the same level of data protection as in Canada, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are at least compliant with the requirements of Canadian Federal laws particularly requiring appropriate security measures from any such third parties, set out in a contract between us, to protect your Personal Information; and monitoring compliance with such security measures for the lifetime of our relationship with such third parties.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation or to protect the rights, property, or safety of North America Phone Cards, our customers, or others.
