This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Inkkas’ Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) by reference, as if set forth fully therein, which must be reviewed and accepted by you.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that is processed by Inkkas in the course of our business, including via Inkkas’ web properties (e.g., Inkkas.com) and through any mobile apps, forums, social media accounts, blogs, retail stores, chat, and other online or offline offerings (together with any and all future online and offline offerings, the “Services”).

2. Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information. The types of personally identifiable information we collect (directly from you or from third party sources) and our privacy practices depend on the nature of the relationship you have with Inkkas and the requirements of applicable law. Below is more information on the ways we collect personal information and how we use it.

Types of personal information. Inkkas collects personal information from its current, prospective, and former customers, visitors, and guests (collectively “Individuals”) through the following channels:

Information Provided Directly to Us: When you use the Services, contact us directly, or engage in certain activities, such as registering for an account with Inkkas, placing an order on our website, or signing up to receive emails about our latest products and services, we may ask you to provide some or all of the following types of information: your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, payment information, such as a credit card number, billing address, and/or other related information required to complete the purchase (such payment information, “Financial Information”).

Where allowed by applicable law, we may also record and store customer support calls or inquiries into our chat box.

Survey and Reviews: We (or third parties acting on our behalf) may contact you to participate in research, surveys or beta testing or to provide reviews and testimonials. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information, which may include personal information. All information collected from your participation in our research, surveys, reviews or testimonial process, or beta testing is provided by you voluntarily. We may use such information to improve our products and/or Services, and in any manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Sweepstakes and Contests: If we run a sweepstake or contest, we may ask you to provide contact information (e.g., a phone number or an email address) or other personal information. Your contact information may be used to reach you about the sweepstakes or contest, and, to the extent permitted by law, for other promotional, marketing and business purposes. In compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction, as a participant you may have the opportunity to opt-out of any communications that are not related to awarding prizes.

Public Posts: We may offer publicly accessible blogs, social media pages, product review pages, or similar forums. Please be aware that when you disclose information about yourself on any public area of the Services or on any public sites operated by third parties, such content will be considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections provided in this Privacy Policy.

Information from Third Parties: We may receive information about you from other sources, including through third party services and organizations (e.g., Experian), to supplement information provided by you. This supplemental information allows us to enhance our ability to provide you with information about our business, products and Services.

From time to time, Inkkas may perform research (online and offline) via surveys. We may engage third party service providers to conduct such surveys on our behalf. All survey responses are voluntary, and the information collected will be used for research and reporting purposes to help us better serve Individuals by learning more about their needs and the quality of the products and services we provide. The survey responses may be utilized to determine the effectiveness of our Services, various types of communications, advertising campaigns and/or promotional activities.

Email and Outbound Telemarketing. Individuals who provide us with personal information, or whose personal information we obtain from third parties, may, as permitted by law, receive periodic emails, newsletters, mailings, or text messages from us with information on our or our business partners’ products and services or upcoming special offers/events that we believe may be of interest. We offer the option to decline these communications at no cost by following the instructions in Section 6.

Anonymous and Aggregated Information. Inkkas may use personal information and other information about you to create anonymized and aggregated information, such as de-identified demographic or psychographic information, information about the computer or device from which you access the Services or other analyses we create. Anonymized and aggregated information is used for a variety of functions, including the measurement of visitors’ interest in and use of various portions or features of the Services. Anonymized or aggregated information is not personal information, and we may use such information in a number of ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics and any other legally permissible purposes. We may also share this information with third parties for our or their purposes in an anonymized or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.

Shared Content. From time to time, we may offer referral services of features that allow you to forward or share certain content with a friend or colleague, such as an email inviting your friend to use our Services or purchase product from us.

Other. Inkkas may use personal information for which we have a legitimate interest, such as fraud protection or compliance with legal obligations, or any other purpose disclosed to you at the time you provide personal information or with your consent.

 4. Cookies, Pixels, and Similar Technologies

We (along with third parties that provide content, advertising or other functionality on our Services), may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services. Technologies that are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other devices that allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our website, services, applications, messaging and tools, and to recognize you across devices.

 Our uses of such Technologies fall into the following general categories:

Operational. We may use Technologies that are necessary to the operation of our Services. This includes Technologies that allow you access to our websites, Services, applications, and tools; that are required to identify irregular site behavior, prevent fraudulent activity and improve security; or that allow you to make use of functions such as shopping carts, saved search or similar functions.

Performance-Related. We may use Technologies to assess the performance of our Services, including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how our visitors use our Services, determine if you have interacted with our messaging, determine whether you have viewed an item or link, or to improve our website content, applications, services or tools.

Functionality-Related. We may use Technologies that allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using our Services. This may include identifying you when you sign into the Service or keeping track of your specified preferences, interests or past items viewed so that we may enhance the presentation of content.

Advertising-Related. We may use first-party or third party cookies and web beacons to deliver content, including ads relevant to your interests, on our Services or on third party sites. This includes using technologies to understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements and content that has been delivered to you, such as whether you have clicked on an advertisement. We may also use third parties to serve targeted advertisements to people similar to our customer base (e.g., by uploading a hashed customer list to Facebook Custom Audiences) or incorporating a pixel from the third-party on our Site. Even if you have disabled certain cookies, advertisements may still be displayed to you through these third-party channels.

If you would like to opt-out of the Technologies we employ, you may do so by blocking, deleting or disabling them as your browser or device permits. See Section 6 for additional opt-out options. Please note that blocking, deleting, or disabling these Technologies will affect the functionality of our Services and may prevent you from being able to access certain features.

5. How We Share Your Information

We share information collected through the Services with the following categories of parties:

Vendors and Service Providers. We may share any information we receive with vendors and service providers. The types of service providers to whom we entrust personal information include service providers for: (i) order fulfillment and warehousing; (ii) web hosting, analytics and related services; (iii) payment processing, fraud protection, and credit risk reduction; (iv) customer service activities such as inquiries and shipping; and (v) in connection with the provision of the Services. Inkkas’ policy is to execute appropriate contracts with service providers that prohibit them from using or sharing personal information except as necessary to perform the contracted services on our behalf or to comply with applicable legal requirements, and this Privacy Policy.

Business Partners. Inkkas may share personal information with its business partners and affiliates for our and our affiliates’ internal business purposes or to provide you with a product or service that you have requested. Inkkas may also provide personal information to business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services, or whose products or services we believe may be of interest to you. In such cases, our business partner’s name will appear, along with Inkkas.

Marketing. Inkkas may allow third party advertising partners to set tracking tools (e.g., cookies) to collect information regarding your activities on our Services (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day). We may also share such de-identified information as well as selected personal information (such as demographic information and past purchase history) we have collected with third party advertising partners. Advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other companies) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit non- Inkkas related websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising”. We may allow access to other data collected by the Service to facilitate transmittal of information that may be useful, relevant, valuable or otherwise of interest to you.

Professional Advisors. We share personal data with our legal, financial, and other advisors in connection with corporate transactions or in connection with the management of all or part of our business or operations.

Legal Disclosure / Law Enforcement. We may access, preserve and disclose your personal information, other account information and content if we believe doing so is required or appropriate: (i) to comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as, a court order or subpoena; (ii) to respond to your requests; (iii) to protect yours, ours or others’ rights, property or safety; (iv) to enforce Inkkas’ policies or contracts; (v) to collect amounts owed to Inkkas; (vi) to comply with records retention policies; (vii) when we believe access, preservation, or disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (viii) if we, in good faith, believe that access, preservation, or disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes – e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Services. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared with law enforcement bodies in order to allow them to identify users in connection with their investigation of unauthorized activities.

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. In such event, Inkkas will endeavor to direct the transferee to use personal information in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such personal information was collected.

 6. Managing Your Personal Information / Opt-out

We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. You have the right to object to and opt-out of certain uses and disclosures of your personal information. Where you have consented to Inkkas’ processing of your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time and opt-out to further processing by contacting ops@inkkas.com.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to guard your personally identifiable information. We use secure socket layer technology to protect the security of your payment information and we encrypt your personally identifiable information when it is sent over the Internet. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. If we learn of a security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Services or sending an email to you.

We retain personal information we receive as described in this Privacy Policy for as long as you use our Services or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide our Services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements and comply with applicable laws. When we are no longer required to retain your personal information as described above, we will destroy, erase, or de-identify it in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable law. Legal requirements, however, may require us to retain some or all of the personal information we hold for a period of time that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold it.

 8. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. In addition, you are not permitted to use our Services if you do not meet the minimum age requirement applicable to our Services in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you learn that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, you may alert us at ops@Inkkas.com. If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in certain jurisdictions, such as EU member countries) we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible and terminate the child’s account unless we receive verifiable parental consent.

 9. Additional Topics

Payment Processors. When you make purchases through the Services, we process your payments via a third-party payment processor.

If you apply for or otherwise take part in a financing offer through one of our financing partners, you will be asked to provide information (which may include Financial Information) to that financing partner, either directly or through the Services. The use of that information by the financing partner will be subject to the financing partner’s terms, conditions and privacy policies. Our treatment of any Financial Information that we may Process on your behalf, or that we receive from our financing partners or payment processors, is subject to this Privacy Policy.

International Data Transfers. You agree that all personal information collected via or by Inkkas may be transferred, processed and stored anywhere in the world, including but not limited to, the United States, the European Union, in the cloud, on our servers, on the servers of our affiliates or on the servers of our service providers.

10. Residents of Certain US State- Your Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah or Virginia, applicable privacy laws in your state may give you additional rights about the collection, processing and sale of your personal information (“State Privacy Laws”), which are explained below.

Rights Requests

Right to Know, Right to Deletion, and Right to Correction

You can request what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold.  You can also request that we delete your personal information. We may not delete all of your personal information if one of the following exceptions applies:

  • Transactional: to complete a transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or perform a contract we have with you;
  • Security: to detect data security incidents, preserve the integrity or security of systems; or investigate, report, or prosecute those responsible for any such action;
  • Error Correction: to debug or repair any errors;
  • Legal: to protect against fraud, harassment, malicious or deceptive activities, or illegal activity or to comply with applicable law or a legal obligation, or exercise rights under the law, such as the right to free speech, to assist another party with any of its obligations under applicable privacy laws;
  • Internal Use: to use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information (i.e. to improve our services).
Please note that if we delete your personal information, many of our services will not work the same. For example, your rewards points and rewards will be forfeited, you will not have an account or order history, and saved preferences and information will no longer be available.

You may also request that we correct certain inaccurate information that we have about you. To exercise your right to know, your right to delete, or your right to correct, you may email us at ops@inkkas.com and follow these instructions:
  • Include “Right to Know,” “Right to Delete,” or “Right to Correct” and your state of residence in the subject of the email.

If you wish to make multiple requests under this section, we recommend sending the deletion request last, as we will not be able to fulfill your other requests once we have deleted your information. We will maintain a record of your request. For a faster way to correct your information, you may go to your site account to correct it yourself.

Do Not Sell or Share/Use My Personal Information

Personal Information that We Sell or Share/Use for Targeted Advertising

Under California law, “share” means disclosing your personal information by us to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, in exchange for money or anything else of value. Thus, when we use the term “share” under this section, we are using it in the narrow meaning of how it is defined under California law. Other State Privacy Laws do not use the term “share,” but describe the concept as using personal information for targeted advertising.

Under the laws of California, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah, “sell” means exchanging your personal information by us with a third party for money or anything else of value. Under Virginia law, “sell” is the exchange of personal information for money only.

Through our participation in digital advertising networks and in connection with our Select Partners, we may sell or share/use for targeted advertising, the following categories of personal information:
  • Identifiers
  • Characteristics of protected classifications under California and federal law;
  • Internet/electronic activity;
  • Commercial information;
  • Inferences drawn from the categories described above in order to create a profile about you to reflect your preferences, characteristics, preferences, behavior and attitudes.
  • We do not knowingly sell or share/use for targeted advertising the personal information of minors under the age of 16.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing/Using Your Personal Information for Targeted Advertising

You can opt-out of us selling or sharing/using your personal information for targeted advertising for online activity by using our Cookie Preferences tool to toggle off “Marketing and Social Media” cookies; or enabling an opt out preference signal for a browser or plug-in that makes it clear that such signal is meant to have the effect of opting you out of the sale and sharing of your personal information. Note that if you clear your cookies, your opt out request will no longer be saved for that browser. To opt out of offline selling or sharing, please email us at ops@inkkas.com and follow these instructions: Please include “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” and your state of residence in the subject line and include your name and email address associated with your account.

In order to designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf you must provide the authorized agent with written permission to do so, and your authorized agent must submit that written proof at the time they make the request on your behalf.

We do not “sell” or “share” Sensitive Personal Information (as defined under State Privacy Laws).

Right to Appeal

If you are a Colorado, Connecticut or Virginia resident and we were unable to fulfill your request, you may appeal our response by emailing us at ops@inkkas.com within fourteen days of our decision, and submitting an appeal request, with your name and contact information, a detailed reason for your appeal, as well as your state of residence.

Sensitive Personal Information
We do not collect or process Sensitive Personal Information, as defined by California State Privacy Law, for inferring characteristics or use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those permitted by law.

Financial Incentives
We offer various financial incentives. The terms of the financial incentive will be presented to you at the time you sign up. You may withdraw from any of the financial incentives by calling by unsubscribing from our email marketing following the link at the bottom of any marketing email. The value of your data is the value of the offer presented to you. We have calculated the value of the incentive by using the expense related to the offer.

Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under State Privacy Laws and we will not deny you good or services, charge you a different price, or provide you with a lesser quality of goods or services if you exercise any of your rights.

Notice to California Residents/Your California Privacy Rights
To opt out of sharing your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, please e-mail us at ops@inkkas.com and clearly state your request, including your name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number.
