Our Commitment To Privacy:
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we
provide this Statement explaining our online information practices and
the choices you can make about the way your information is collected
and used. To make this Statement easy to find, we make it available on
every page of our site.
Scope:
This Statement covers all areas of www.InkAvenue.com(hereinafter

is Information an individual provides to InkAvenue.com outside of the

The Information We Collect:
There are two forms of Information that InkAvenue.com collects online:
Site Visitorship Information and Personally Identifiable Information
voluntarily provided to InkAvenue.com by Site visitors.
Site Visitorship Information
InkAvenue.com routinely gathers Information on Site activity, such as
data on how many people visit the Site, the pages they visit, where
they come from, how long they stay, etc. Site Visitorship Information
is:
- collected on an aggregate, anonymous
basis, which means no Personally Identifiable Information is
associated with this data;
- used to better design our Site and
to share with advertisers to create targeted marketing.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information is also collected on certain pages
of the Site. If you decide to contact InkAvenue.com online to ask a
question, learn more about a product or register a recently purchased
product, download certain software or service applications, place an
order for products or inquire about products you may already own, you
will find that those contact forms ask for certain types of Personally
Identifiable Information to assist us in complying with these
requests.
- We may ask you to provide
Personally Identifiable Information, some optional, some required,
on specific pages of the Site. The information requested may include
your name, address, e-mail address, shipping information, phone
number, product model and serial numbers and your dates of purchase,
credit card and/or debit card information and your comments.
Personally Identifiable Information may be forwarded to a
InkAvenue.com business unit or the appropriate subsidiary or
affiliate company that is equipped to handle your order, inquiry or
feedback.
- Personally Identifiable Information
is collected by means of warranty cards, magazine "bingo" cards,
trade show information, e-mail and voluntary online surveys. This
Information is also collected to personalize and customize your

- Personally Identifiable Information
is gathered as part of any entry for a sweepstakes or other
promotion. If you choose to enter a sweepstakes or other promotion
we conduct, you will be required to submit certain personal
information, such as your name, e-mail address, street address and
phone number, and we will also ask for certain additional
information, which is optional and is not required to enter the
promotion. We will use the required personal information you submit

winners.
- Personally Identifiable Information

not necessary to provide any Personally Identifiable Information in
order to simply browse the Site.
How We Use
Information:
We use the Information you provide about yourself when placing an
order or registering for warranty or out of warranty service to
complete that order or service registration and to provide you with
information about other InkAvenue.com products and promotions that may
be of interest to you. Your Information may be shared with our
employees, independent contractors, agents or other related and
unrelated InkAvenue.com entities and/or business partners acting on
our behalf to fulfill and/or ship an order, an award or rebate;
conduct surveys; collect payments or to provide a product or service
you have requested. We do not share this information with
non-InkAvenue.com companies except to the extent necessary to complete
your transaction and, when we do share it, it is subject to their
agreement to treat it as confidential business information and with
the understanding that it may not be used for any purpose other than
to perform their function. If you inquire about a product that
InkAvenue.com does not sell directly, it may forward your information
to a InkAvenue.com dealer, distributor or other reseller. Use of your
information by the dealer, distributor or reseller is governed by its
own policies, not InkAvenue.coms.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive as well
as to provide you with product and service updates, special promotions
and offers.
In the course of growing or restructuring our business, we may
purchase the assets of another company or sell the assets of our
company. During these transactions, information about customers is
frequently considered a business asset that is the subject of such a
purchase or sale. Also, in the unlikely event that InkAvenue.com, or
substantially all of its assets are either acquired or subject to
liquidation in bankruptcy, Information may be transferred as well.
The Site may contain hyperlinks to and from other Internet sites,
including other Xoomer Company sites. These sites may have different
privacy practices from the ones described here. Since this Statement
applies solely to this Site, please remember to read the privacy
statements of the other sites you visit.
Our Commitment To Data Security:
InkAvenue.com works hard to ensure that our systems are secure and
that they meet industry standards. To prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we
have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the Information we collect online.
The security of personal information you may submit in connection with
a promotion entry, survey response, and/or registration for any
feature on the Site is of the utmost concern to us, and we strive to
ensure its security on our systems. However, no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we cannot
guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you
transmit such information at your own risk. We will continue to assess
new technology to evaluate its ability to provide additional
protection of your Information.

Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site.
