| This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for
the Ink ReStore.com Web site and various related services
(together referred to as the site). As the provider of this
site, we are committed to protecting your privacy online.
In a nutshell, our privacy policy states that we will never
rent, sell or lease your information to anyone else. So, please
read the information below to learn the following regarding
your use of this site.

1. Types of Information Collected
In order to better provide you with our numerous services,
we collect two types of information about our users: Personally
Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable
Information. Our primary goal in collecting information
from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and
customized experience while using our site.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you
engage in certain activities on this site, such as registering,
ordering a product or service, submitting content and/or
posting content, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling
out a survey, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to
provide certain information about yourself by filling out
and submitting an online form. It is completely optional
for you to elect to engage in these activities, however,
we may ask that you provide us personal information, such
as your first and last name, mailing address (including
zip code), email address, employer, job title and department,
telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying
information. When ordering products or services on the site,
you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending
upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to
provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary.
If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to
a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in
that activity.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to
information that does not by itself identify a specific
individual. We gather certain information about you based
upon where you visit on our site in several ways. This information
is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated
basis. This information may include the Web site's Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) that you just came from, which URL
you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet
Protocol (IP) address. A URL is the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address
is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such
as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP
protocol to route information based on the IP address of
the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate
and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses
in order for users to communicate on the Internet.
2. Collection Methods and Use of Information
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information
about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide
certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you
(a) register for our services and register your email address
with us; (b) enter sweepstakes or contests sponsored by
us or one of our partners; (c) sign up for special offers
from selected third parties; (d) send email messages, submit
forms or transmit other information by telephone or letter;
or (e) submit your credit card or other payment information
when ordering and purchasing products and services on our
site. We may also collect information from you at other
points on our site that state that such information is being
collected.
In addition, we may also collect, or our third party ad
server and/or content server may collect, certain Non- Personally
Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately
stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases,
specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems
with our servers, software, to administer our site and to
gather demographic information. Our third party ad servers
will also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports
that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked
upon at our site.
We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information
to provide our services to you, as required by our agreements
with you. We will also use Personally Identifiable Information
to enhance the operation of our site, fill orders, improve
our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze
site use, improve our product and service offerings, and
customize our site's content, layout, and services. We may
use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information
to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices.
We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve
disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements
with you, including our Site Terms of Use, Sales Terms and
Conditions, and this Private Policy.
3. Release of Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable
Information to others. We do provide some of our services
through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services
providers, partners and other third parties. We (and our
service partners) use your Personally Identifiable Information
to operate our sites and to deliver their services. For
example, we must release your credit card information to
the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for products and
services purchased on this site; release your address information
to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered;
and provide order information to third parties that help
us provide customer service.
We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post
privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally Identifiable
Information by our service partners is governed by the privacy
policies of those service partners, and is not subject to
our control.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial
authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information
to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose
Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court
order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies
in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities.
We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies
any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information
about our customers' sales, traffic patterns, and related
site information to third party advertisers, but these statistics
do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.
4. Updating and Correcting Information
We believe you should have the ability to access and edit
the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided
to us. You may change any of your Personally Identifiable
Information in your account online at any time by linking
to your account in accordance with instructions posted elsewhere
on this site. You may also access and correct your personal
information and privacy preferences by writing us at:
Ink ReStore
2403 Battleground Ave.
Greensboro, NC 27408
Please include your name, address, and/or email address
when you contact us.
We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable
Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information
on your account deleted or removed; however, because we
keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information
associated with past transactions on this site. In addition,
it may be impossible to completely delete your information
without some residual information because of backups.
5. User Choices on Collection and Use of Information
We may, from time to time, send you email regarding our
products and services. In addition, if you indicated upon
registration that you are interested in receiving offers
or information from us and our partners. Only we (or agents
working on behalf of [~ name of us and under confidentiality
agreements) will send you these promotional offers and only
if you indicated that you do not object to these offers.
If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell
us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any
time you can edit your account information to no longer
receive such offers and mailings.
You also have choices with respect to cookies, as described
below. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the
choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie
is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject
all cookies some parts of our site may not work properly
in your case.
6. Security of Information
At our site you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable
Information is secure, consistent with current industry
standards. The importance of security for all Personally
Identifiable Information associated with our user is of
utmost concern to us. Your Personally Identifiable Information
is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Personally
Identifiable Information is available through a password
and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is
encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password
to anyone. In addition, your Personally Identifiable Information
resides on a secure server that only selected key personnel
and contractors have access to via password. We encrypt
your Personally Identifiable Information and thereby prevent
unauthorized parties from viewing such information when
it is transmitted to us.
Personal information that you provide that is not Personally
Identifiable Information also resides on a secure server
and is only accessible via password. Since this information
is not accessible from outside our company you will not
be asked to select a password in order to view or modify
such information.
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions
and order fulfillment are handled by established third party
banking, processing agents and distribution institutions.
They receive the information needed to verify and authorize
your card or other payment information and to process and
ship your order.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or
any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally
Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there
are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which
are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and
privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between
you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed; and (c)
any such information and data may be illegally viewed or
tampered with in transit by a third party.
7. Cookies
When you use our site we will store cookies on your computer
in order to facilitate and customize your use of our site.
A cookie is a small data text file, which a Web site stores
on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser permits)
that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Our cookies
store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the
country where you are located, and your first name to welcome
you back to our site. The cookies make your use of the site
easier, make the site run more smoothly and help us to maintain
a secure site. You are always free to decline our cookies
if your browser permits, but some parts of our site may
not work properly in that case.
We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner
advertisements on our site. As part of their service, they
will place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not
provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personally
Identifiable Information or information about your purchases.
We and our third party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally
Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address,
browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the
area code and zip code associated with your server and whether
you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may
also place banner ads on our site in the same manner as
above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable
Information to them.

Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this
document only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you. Other sites accessible through our
site have their own privacy policies and data collection,
use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site's
privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies
or practices of third parties. Additionally, other companies
which place advertising on our site may collect information
about you when you view or click on their advertising through
the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of
information. You should contact these advertisers directly
if you have any questions about their use of the information
that they collect.
