Our Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect on this website, how we use or share that information, and the measures we take to protect it. By using this website, you acknowledge and accept the terms of this policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please refrain from using the website. Note that this policy applies only to information collected through this website and does not cover data obtained through other means or sources.
1. Information We Collect
We gather the following types of information:
Personal & Contact Details: This includes information you provide, such as your name, username, user ID, address, and email.
Financial Information: If you make a purchase, you will need to provide payment details, such as a credit card or other payment methods. By doing so, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
IP Address & Device Information: When you browse our store, we automatically collect your computer’s IP address, which helps us understand your browser type and operating system.
When you provide personal information to create an account, complete a transaction, verify a payment, place an order, arrange a delivery, or return a purchase, we assume your consent to collect and use that data for those specific purposes.
If we need your information for additional purposes, such as marketing, we will either request your explicit consent or give you the option to opt out.

We process your information based on our legitimate business interests, contractual obligations, legal requirements, and your consent. Specifically, we use your data to:
- Provide access to and manage your account on CheeryInk Store
- Process orders and transactions
- Handle payments securely
- Send important service notifications, updates, and security alerts
- Generate reports and analytics
- Offer customer support
- Conduct marketing activities (only with your consent)
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except for trusted partners who assist us in website operations, business activities, or customer service. These partners are required to keep your data confidential.
However, we may disclose your information if legally required to do so, if necessary to enforce our policies, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
4. Third-Party Services
We work with third-party service providers who collect, use, and disclose your information only as necessary to perform their services.
Some providers, such as payment processors, have their own privacy policies governing the information we must share with them for transaction purposes. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how they handle your data.
Since some providers operate in different countries, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. For example, if you are in Canada and a payment processor is based in the U.S., your data may be subject to U.S. laws, such as the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our website or interact with a third-party platform, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.
5. How Do We Protect Your Information?
We take reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to ensure that your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed without authorization, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
When you provide us with your credit card details, they are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing electronic information is completely secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry-standard security measures.
At CheeryInk Store, we do not share customer data with third parties under any circumstances. We use your information solely for purposes such as responding to your inquiries, personalizing your shopping experience, improving our store and services, and communicating with you. Our goal is to continuously enhance your CheeryInk shopping experience.
