This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Squarespace or any third party services you access through Squarespace. You can reference the Squarespace Privacy Policy or Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about their privacy practices.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully prior to accessing our platform and services. If you have any questions, please contact us at: inkscrpt@gmail.com

Our website is not intended for minors. By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.
Consent
By using our website and accessing our products and services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by the Privacy Policy, and you consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy.
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting of personal information and we will use it for that specific purpose only.
If we ask your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to decline.
You may withdraw your consent at any time for reasons such as our contacting you, collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, at our email inkscrpt@gmail.com.
Email Information
If you choose to contact us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages along with your email addresses and our responses. This also applies when you sign up through any of our forms using your email address or make a purchase on our site.
We are committed to ensuring your email address remains confidential. We will not disclose your email address to any third parties except for the exceptions outlined in this policy.
Information We Collect
In the course of providing our services, we collect or receive your personal information in a few different ways. We obtain the categories of personal information listed below from the following sources: directly from you, for example, from forms you complete or during registration; indirectly from you based on your activity and interaction with our services, or from the device or browser you use to access the services; from our vendors and suppliers that help provide Etsy or Squarespace services you may interact with (such as, for example, for payments or customer support), and from our third party advertising and marketing partners. Often, you choose what information to provide, but sometimes we require certain information to provide you the Services. Etsy and Squarespace uses the personal information it receives and collects in accordance with the purposes described in this policy.
When you purchase a product or service from our Etsy store or the INKSCRPT website, to fulfill your order, you may provide us with certain information (which you authorized Etsy and/or our website to provide to us) such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information and the details of the product that you are ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact us directly.
Why we collect information and how we use it
You can engage in most activities on this website without providing any personal information. It is only when you seek to download resources, contact us, purchase a product or service and/or register for services that you are required to provide information.
INKSCRPT relies on a number of legal bases to collect, use and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide our products and services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as signing up for our mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overrridden by your rights or interests, such as:
1) Providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and
2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy (if applicable) and INKSCRPT’s Terms of Use.
• We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use and Squarespace’s Terms of Use.
We may share your Personal Information with vendors and other third-party providers who are providing services for us. The vendors and third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide for us. Certain third-party service providers, such as payment processors, have their own privacy policies in respect of the information that we are required to provide to them in order to use their services. For these third-party service providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so that you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
How do we protect your information?
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure the protection, privacy and security of the information we collect from you. This includes standard security protocols and working only with reputable third-party vendors, such as Etsy and Squarespace. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of such precautions.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
INKSCRPT shares your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

• Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers: If we sell or merge our business, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

Data Retention
We keep data for no longer than is necessary for the purpose that it was given to us.

We generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in Canada, United States, and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws that your jurisdiction. If we are deemed to transfer information about you outside the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below:

• Object. You can object to:
o (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and
o (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
