Privacy Policy

Office Supplies knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting Office Supplies, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Customers Does Office Supplies Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Office Supplies. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Office Supplies. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see examples of the information we receive. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at Office Supplies if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

E-mail Communications:

We will send you emails to inform you of the progress of your order. We occasionally send newsletters to our customers. If you do not want to receive our newsletters, please adjust your account to reflect this by selecting unsubscribed in the newsletters menu.

Information from Other Sources:

We sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.

Cookies

Along with all other E-commerce merchants, Office Supplies routinely uses Cookies. Cookies enable Office Supplies to track and personalise your shopping experience by recognising your computer the next time you visit. The cookie is stored on your hard drive through your Web browser program and contains information about the user. The cookie enables Office Supplies to enhance its service by enabling extra services such as the ability to hold items in your shopping cart between visits to the Office Supplies website. Should you wish to reject the cookie or regularly clear them from your computer, you will still be able to visit and use the Office Supplies website without the enhanced shopping experience a cookie offers.

Does Ink Station 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.

Agents:

We 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, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions for us only, and may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers:

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that Office Supplies, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of Ink Station and Others:

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Office Supplies, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

With Your Consent:

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Westpac Bank as one of our payment processors, they process credit cards, so Office Supplies will NEVER see your credit card number. Westpac Bank protects your privacy and information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you input. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What Information Can I Access?

Office Supplies gives you access to the following information about you for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. This list will change as our Web site evolves.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such Office Supplies features as Automatic login, and permanent shopping carts. You can add or update certain information on pages such as those listed in the “My Account” pages. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your account to reflect this in the newsletter menu.
