We believe in the strictest security of your vital records and most importantly the confidentiality of information that you provide to us.
Inkworks is vigilant about
protecting your privacy as a consumer when visiting our web site (the
“Site”), utilizing registration, order or promotional forms
(“Forms”) and utilizing our e-mail system.
As a company interested in protecting privacy and ensuring
security, we understand better than most the need for you to maintain
control over your personal data on the Internet.
We maintain your privacy through the enforcement of strict
internal policies that are designed to exceed industry standards.
This privacy policy outlines the information Inkworks will
collect on the Site and how we will use that information.
Privacy Policy
This policy discloses the privacy
practices for the Site, Forms, and e-mail system.
We have designed the Site and Forms so that no personal
identifying information is displayed online or is accessible to the
general public. We do not
reveal your e-mail address or other personal information, except to
selected trustworthy third party suppliers who may carry products or
services that we believe will be of interest to our customers.
We Protect Your Right to Privacy
Inkworks respects your privacy. Below are the guidelines we use for protecting the
information you provide us during a visit to the Site and Forms. Please keep in mind that advertisers and vendors hosted on
the Site, or who link to the Site, may collect information about you if
you click on their advertisements, visit their web sites, or make a
purchase from them. Information
collected by vendors or advertisers hosted on the Site, or who link to
the Site, is not covered under this privacy policy.
What Information We Collect
If a Form requires registration, we may ask you to provide us with contact
information, such as name, billing address, shipping address, e-mail
address, telephone number and a valid credit card number.
We use this information to verify your account, to process
your orders and to send you promotional mailings. We may also
provide this information to trustworthy third parties as explained
below.
How We Use and Share Information
We do not sell, lend, rent or otherwise disclose
any customer information, except for transactions involving trustworthy
third parties and business partners who may carry products or services
that we believe will be of interest to our customers. We will not
disclose any credit card information or specifics about our customers
except names and mail or e-mail addresses.
This information is provided so that the third party supplier can
contact you about products, promotions or special services that are
likely to interest our customers. However,
you can tell us not to share your information by sending us an e-mail
message to info@inkworkscards.com.
By contract, the third party is not permitted to sell, lend, rent, or
otherwise disclose this information.
For retention of vital records and other such purposes, visitor,
and customer information is statistically aggregated and reported to
financial institutions. However,
we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used
to personally identify you, such as your name, e-mail, account, password,
credit card number, or transaction history.
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory
environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications
and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not
otherwise described in this privacy policy.
By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be
forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under
certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications.
Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose any
information about you to law enforcement or other government officials
as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect
your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your
personal information or private communications will remain private.
How You May Update or Change the Information
Customers may update or change their information by
sending an e-mail to info@inkworkscards.com
or by calling us at 919-786-0070 ext. 226.
Cookies
Inkworks uses software tags called “cookies” to
identify visitors when they visit our Site.
Among other things, Cookies help us identify returning users so
that we don’t ask them to register with every visit.
They help us understand your preferences and customize our
service to your needs. By
helping us understand which areas of the Site you visit, cookies allow us to
present customized information faster.
The information we collect with cookies is not sold, rented, or
shared with any outside parties. Most
Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard
drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is
stored. Please refer to
your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these
functions.
Links
The Site may contain links to other Internet web
sites. We encourage all of
our partners, contributors, and third parties to implement policies and
practices that respect the privacy of our users.
However, Inkworks is not responsible for the privacy practices or
the content of such web sites. Our
policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect
from you. To the extent
that you disclose your information to other parties, even if you reached
them through a link on the Site, different rules may apply to their use or
disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them.
Because Inkworks does not control the privacy policies of third
parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that
third party. We encourage
you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to
others and read the posted privacy policy whenever interacting with any
web site.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
Inkworks understands the importance of protecting
children’s privacy in the interactive, on-line world.
Inkworks does not intentionally target or solicit to children
thirteen (13) or younger for purposes of collecting personal
information. Inkworks does
not knowingly collect any personal information from or about a child
without the consent of the child’s
parent(s) or legal guardian. We
suggest that parents get involved with their children’s access to the
Internet and our Site to ensure that their child’s privacy is well
protected.
The parent or legal guardian of a child under the
age of thirteen (13) can review the personal information provided on
Forms, request that it be deleted and refuse to allow any further use of
the child’s personal information by sending an e-mail to info@inkworkscards.com
or telephoning our office at 919-786-0070 ext. 226.
The Site may link to certain web sites which may
target or solicit to children thirteen (13) or younger and may collect
personal information . Those
web sites are not governed by this privacy policy, but will (or should)
have their own privacy policies that more fully explain how they respect
and protect the privacy of children while providing them information,
goods or services.
Please note that we review our privacy practices
from time to time, and that such practices are subject to change.
Inkworks reserves the right to change this privacy policy at
anytime by posting revisions on the Site.
We ask that you periodically review this page to ensure
familiarity with the most current version of our privacy policy.

privacy policy and you consent to the collection and use of your
information by Inkworks as described in this privacy policy.

this privacy policy, please call us as 919-786-0070 ext. 226 or send us
