  • E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we may often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from our Site if your computer supports such capabilities.  We also may compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.  If you do not want to receive e-mail or other communications from us, please contact us in writing with your request.

Does Ink Effect Publishing  Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others.  We share customer information only as described below and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy. 

  • Businesses We Do Not Control: If a product or service is offered by a third party on our Site, we may share customer information related to those transactions with that third party. 
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.  Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, performing maintenance or modifications to the Site, and providing customer service.  Such third parties may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. 
  • Promotional Offers: Sometimes we may send offers to selected groups of Ink Effect Publishing customers on behalf of other businesses.  When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.  If you do not want to receive such offers, please contact us in writing with your request.    
  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy all or part of third party asset or business.  In such transactions, customer information may be one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless the customer consents otherwise).  Also, in the unlikely event that Ink Effect Publishing, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will likely be one of the transferred assets, but again remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless the customer consents otherwise).
