II. What Does Surf Garage Do with the Personally Identifiable Information It Collects?
The only reason why we collect personally identifiable information from you is to allow you to place online orders for Surf Garage products. We need the personally identifiable information so that we can bill your credit card and ship your order/orders.

Surf Garage only discloses your personally identifiable information to the company that processes credit card transactions for us, the company that handles the actual shipping of Surf Garage products, and the companies that maintain and host our website. This disclosure to our fulfillment partners and website companies is necessary for us to process your online order. Our fulfillment partners and website companies are prohibited by their contract with us from selling, leasing, sharing, giving, or otherwise disclosing your personally identifiable information to any third party. Surf Garage does not sell, lease, share, give, or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information to anyone else.

Please be advised, however, that we reserve the right to disclose any personal information about you without your prior consent if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to: (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with valid legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order; (2) protect our rights or property; (3) enforce the provisions of the Copyright policy; or (4) prevent harm to you or others.

VII. What If You're Not in the United States?
This Privacy Policy was drafted to comply with United States law. If you're outside of the United States, the laws of your country regarding privacy might be different from those of the United States, and we can provide no assurances that our Policy and practices conform to the laws of all countries. You should consult an appropriate professional in your country if you wish to know whether our Policy and practices conform to the laws that protect privacy in your country.
