This site is operated by inktothepeople.com LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "we," "us" or "our"). We value our customers and respect your privacy. We collect information about you in our stores and through our website, inktothepeople.com (this "Website"), in an effort to improve your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services and promotions. Neither your name nor any other personal information is sold or shared with any non-affiliated company or agency. However, as described below, we may share your information under certain circumstances with business partners that help us operate and improve this Website, understand our customer base or fulfill your order. This Privacy and Usage Policy (this "Policy") only covers information collected from this Website.
This Policy describes the personal information we collect about you, why we collect it, how we use it, and when we share it with third parties. This Policy also describes the choices you can make about how we collect and use certain of that information. If this Policy changes, we will post an updated policy on this Website. We may, at any time, revise this Policy by updating this posting without notice. You are bound by any such revisions to this Policy, and we encourage you to review this Policy periodically for any changes or modifications.
Our web server automatically recognizes your IP address. We retain the email addresses of anyone who post messages to our bulletin board, the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email, the email addresses of those who post on our chat areas, aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, user-specific information on what pages consumers access or visit, and information volunteered the customer, including but not limited to survey information and information obtained by registering or creating an account on this Website, such as name and address, telephone number, and payment information (e.g., credit card number and billing address). Customers who supply us with their telephone numbers will only receive telephone contact from us with information regarding orders they have placed.
We may use the information we collect for various purposes, including without limitation to:
Service Providers: We may disclose information to outside companies that help us bring you the products and services we offer. For example, we may work with an outside company to: (a) manage a database of customer information; (b) assist us in distributing emails; (c) assist us with direct marketing and data collection; (d) provide us with data storage and analysis; (e) provide fraud prevention; (f) provide customer service by phone; and (g) other services designed to assist us in maximizing our business potential. We require that these outside companies agree to keep confidential all information we share with them and to use the information only to perform their obligations in such agreements.
Compliance with Law: We may provide access to information when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of this Website, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors and users of this Website or the public.
While visiting this Website, you may link to sites operated by our business partners or other third parties. This does not mean that we endorse these sites. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website you may access through this Website. The websites to which we provide links are independent from us, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information, content or activities.
In addition, our privacy practices may differ from those of these other sites. If you provide personal information at another website, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that website, not this Policy. Please make sure you understand the other website’s privacy policy before providing personal information.
Several of our functions use "cookies". A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your hard drive by your computer’s browser. Cookies help us remember you when you return to this Website. Cookies also hold information a website may need to personalize and enhance your experience and to gather statistical data, such as which pages are visited, what is included in your shopping cart, the Internet provider’s domain name and the addresses of the websites visited immediately before coming to and immediately after leaving this Website. Ink to the People may also allow third parties to place their own cookies within your browser in order to serve you with relevant advertising online, to help us measure traffic and effectiveness, and to allow us to conduct any research in which you agree to participate. However, none of this information is associated with you as an individual. It is measured anonymously and only in the aggregate. The information in the cookies lets us trace your "clickstream" activity (i.e., the paths taken by visitors to this Website as they move from page to page) to enable us to better serve our customers by revealing which portions of this Website are the most popular. Cookies contain absolutely no personal information. You may disable cookies on your browser. Please review your browser’s instructions for doing so.
We go to great lengths to keep your financial information private and safe. We take appropriate physical, electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. In addition, it is our policy to never send your credit card number via email. Please note, however, that email is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.
We use Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the industry standard in transferring information to process your orders. The SSL encrypts, or translates, your order information into a highly indecipherable code, which is processed immediately. All credit card transactions occur in a secure area of this Website, to protect you from any loss, misuse or alteration of information collected. When you have finished shopping and begin the checkout process, you will move into the secure area of this Website. Once you’ve entered, the page address (URL) will change from http to https to let you know you are in a secure area. Also, a key or a closed lock will appear in the lower right hand corner of your screen to notify you of this change. You will remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process.
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we use reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit to us, we cannot guarantee that such information will not be intercepted by third parties. We may, but shall not be obligated to, prosecute any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We prohibit the impersonation of others, including an employee or representative of us and other users. You may not, without our prior permission, use any computer code, data mining software, "spiders", "robots" or any other automatic device or algorithm or similar program or process to monitor or copy any of the pages on this Website, including the data and content found on this Website. You may not use this Website for purposes other than for those purposes permitted under this Policy, which such prohibit practices include but are not limited to flooding this Website with electronic traffic designed to slow or stop its operation, implanting hidden programs within this Website, and mass downloading of files from this Website. You may not provide links to this Website from other websites without our prior written consent. You agree to not use this Website to create any material that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, or that infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any third party.
You may receive promotional emails from us. If you do not want to receive email from us, you may click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email communication sent by us. Please allow us 10 business days from when the request was received to complete the removal.
This Website is not meant for children, and we will not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without verified parental consent. We will remove from our files any personally identifiable information of anyone we discover to be under 13 years old. Our online contests or sweepstakes, if any, are restricted to entrants who are at least 18 years old.
