Ink Scribe Publishing (“we,” “our,” “us”) values the privacy of website visitors, clients, and users. This notice explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices and rights you may have about your personal data.
By accessing or using our website, you agree to the practices described here.
We only collect personal data when there is a clear purpose for doing so, and we aim to be transparent about that purpose. Information we may collect includes your name, email address, phone number, message content, and any files you attach when you contact us, request services, or place an order. If you create an account, we may request details such as your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
We do not share your personal details for third-party marketing.
We may use information we collect to:
Operate and maintain our website
Improve and personalize the user experience
Understand website performance and make updates
Respond to requests, questions, and service inquiries
Provide service-related communications
Develop and improve features and offerings
Send emails you request, or that relate to services you asked about
Detect, prevent, and address fraud or misuse
Like many websites, we collect log data generated by software. This data is typically non-identifying and may include IP address, browser type, date/time of access, referring and exit pages, and page views. We use this information to understand traffic patterns and keep the site working as expected.
Our site uses a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or manage cookie preferences. Essential cookies are required for core site functions and cannot be turned off. You can choose whether to allow analytics, advertising, or functional cookies. You may update your preferences at any time through the cookie banner.
No third-party promo sharing: Your phone number and email address are not shared with third-party promotional partners for marketing. This also includes SMS/email originator opt-in data and consent—those are not provided to third parties.
What you consent to: If you opt in to receive messages, you consent to receive SMS and/or email communications from Ink Scribe Publishing related to your inquiry, services, and project updates. Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply.
Opt out: You can opt out of SMS by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP. Email opt-out options are typically provided within emails, where applicable.
We do not sell personal information.
We may share limited data with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, such as:
Website hosting
Email delivery
Analytics
Advertising placement and measurement (including Microsoft Advertising)
These service providers are permitted to use information only to perform services on our behalf and are contractually restricted from selling or using your data for their own marketing.
We may work with advertising partners, including Microsoft Advertising, to measure campaigns and to show ads that may be more relevant to your interests. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about activity on this and other websites for interest-based advertising, where permitted by law and/or your consent choices.
You can opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies using the tools below:
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): https://optout.networkadvertising.org
Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices: https://optout.aboutads.info
Mobile users may also use the DAA AppChoices app (available in app stores). Windows users can limit interest-based advertising by going to Windows Settings > Privacy > General and turning off “Let apps use advertising ID…”
We may use Microsoft Advertising to serve ads and track conversions. As part of that, we may use Microsoft’s Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag on this site. Microsoft may collect or receive certain information—such as cookies, identifiers, device information, and IP address—when you visit our website (including when arriving via Microsoft ads) or otherwise interact with the site.
When you visit after clicking a Microsoft ad, Microsoft may place or read cookies and use web beacons or similar technologies to provide advertising, conversion tracking, and reporting. We may also share pseudonymous identifiers (such as cookie IDs or advertising IDs) with Microsoft Advertising to measure and improve ads, including remarketing and interest-based advertising, where permitted by law and/or your consent settings.
Microsoft’s privacy statement is available at: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement
If GDPR applies to you, you may have rights such as:
Access to your personal data
Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
Deletion of personal data (in certain situations)
Restriction of processing (in certain situations)
Objection to processing (in certain situations)
Data portability (in certain situations)
To request any of the above, contact us. We aim to respond within one month.
