Collection of Personal Information

In order to give you superior customer service, GYST Ink collects your personal information in several ways. For example, GYST Ink may ask you to provide certain information such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

When you submit personal information to GYST Ink through this Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which GYST Ink and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices, including without limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of GYST Ink.Such vendors are bound by contract to not use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor of GYST Ink.

GYST Ink has established relationships with various service providers whose services are available to you from this Site or from web sites that are linked to this Site. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a provider's web site will be subject to the privacy policy posted on such site and personal information that you provide while on this Site in conjunction with a providers service will be subject to this Privacy Policy. In the situation where sites have a GYST Ink look and feel, and you reasonably believe you are on a GYST Ink site, the site is collecting information in a solely intermediary capacity (i.e, customer support pages) and does not use personal information for secondary purposes.

In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users and prevent abuse of our system we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third party sources. For example, we may supplement your registration information with address information provided by the U.S. Postal Service to qualify your information and prevent errors in our database.

How Your Personal Information is Used

GYST Ink uses your personal information for several purposes including:

• To ensure our Site is relevant to your needs.
• To deliver services, such as newsletters, events, training or software, that you request or purchase.
• To help us create and publish content most relevant to you.
• To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from GYST Ink.
• To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our Site as appropriate.

GYST Ink may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or legal process. We may also disclose information about you if we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of GYST Ink employees, users of GYST Ink products or services, or members of the public.

How We Protect your Personal Information

GYST Ink is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, the GYST Ink Store uses industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption on web pages where sensitive information (such as credit card information) is required. To make purchases from the GYST Ink Store, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Netscape Navigator 7.x for Macintosh or Windows, Safari 1.2 - 2.x or Internet Explorer 5.x - 6.x., and Firefox 1.x for Macintosh or Windows. This technology protects the confidentiality of your credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet.

We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.

Public Forums

This site makes forums and news groups available to its users. Please remember that some information that is disclosed in these areas may become public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Our Companywide Commitment to Privacy

As we said, GYST Ink takes protecting your privacy very seriously. To make sure your personal information is secure, we communicate these guidelines to GYST Ink employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the company. In addition, GYST Ink supports industry initiatives - such as the International Association of Privacy Professionals - to preserve privacy rights on the Internet and in all aspects of electronic commerce. And we do not knowingly solicit personal information from minors or send them requests for personal information.

GYST Ink does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests for personal information.

GYST Ink's website contains links to other sites. GYST Ink does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

If we are going to use your personal information differently from that stated at the time of collection, we will try to contact you via email using the most recent information we have. If you have not given us permission to communicate with you, you will not be contacted, nor will we use your personal information in a new manner.

GYST Ink abides by the safe harbor framework set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information collected from the European Union and Switzerland. You'll find more information about the U.S. Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Program.

The GYST Ink Customer Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
