SECURITY, TRANSFER, AND DATA STORAGE
Ink.Inc hosts data with hosting service providers from all over the world. We will make reasonable efforts to keep the servers on which Personal Information is stored in a secure environment.

We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal Information when it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was obtained. However, most of the Personal Information is or will be stored in client files, which we will keep for a minimum of 7 years.
