All the details you enter during the purchasing process are collected for the sole purpose of processing and dispatching your order.

Promotional Communications, Marketing and Advertising

Ink Express Ltd use your personal data for electronic marketing and direct mail purposes only with your consent. We aim to update you with such information that is of interest and relevant to you as an individual. Subscribers are sent occasional newsletters and offers via email. If you give us permission to add you to our mailing list, we will never share your email with any unaffiliated third party or send you emails that are not relevant to Ink Express Ltd.

You have the right to opt out of receiving such communications at any time, by using any of the following methods:

  • Changing your marketing preferences via your online account

Customer account

When placing an order with Ink Express Ltd, you have the option to create a user account. You are not required to register an account if you do not wish to do so. To make a purchase without creating an account, simply sign in as a guest.

If you choose to create a user account, all account information (including your personal details) will be held securely and will not be shared with any unaffiliated third parties. The information you submit during the registration process will only be used for purposes directly related to the management of your account and the processing of any orders you place while logged in.

Payment Details

When placing an order, we will save a reference to payment information used. We do not have direct access to payment details, as these are saved securely by our 3rd party payment provider. We only have access to a reference of this data. This allows for a simpler checkout website experience on future orders and the ability for quicker payments to be taken.

Cookies

Like most websites, Ink Express Ltd use cookies to collect information. Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or other devices (such as smart phones or tablets) as you browse this website. They are used to ‘remember’ when your computer or device accesses our websites. Cookies are essential for the effective operation of our websites and to help you shop with us online. They are also used to tailor the products and services offered and advertised to you, both on our website and elsewhere.

What are cookies used for?

Some cookies collect information about browsing and purchasing behaviour when you access the website via the same computer or device. This includes information about pages viewed, products purchased and your journey around a website. We do not use cookies to collect or record information on your name, address or other contact details. Ink Express Ltd can use cookies to monitor your browsing and purchasing behaviour.

What types of Cookies are there and what do they do?

There are various types of cookies that function differently to one another. Cookies also only remain on your computer for a set amount of time and carry no personal information at all. Here is a little more detail on the different types of cookies, and what they do:

Session cookies – these cookies only last for a small amount of time and expire once you have closed your internet browser.

These cookies help you to use our website successfully and place your order with us.

Persistent cookies – these are cookies that exist between browser sessions (when you close your internet browser and open a new one later). Persistent cookies each have a set expiry date and last a little longer than session cookies.

What are first and third party cookies?

First party cookies are the ones that are created and used by the website you are on and third-party cookies are those that have been created by one website but also used by another.

How do we use third party cookies?
