This information is used by EnnisKnupp for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the services, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Web Site. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through EnnisKnupp public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others.

EnnisKnupp may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
EnnisKnupp does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, EnnisKnupp may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to EnnisKnupp, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information. The law allows you to “opt out” of our sharing nonpublic personal information about you in certain circumstances with affiliated and nonaffiliated companies; that is, you may direct us to not make such disclosures. We do not currently share information about you with any affiliate or third party that triggers this opt out right. Therefore, there is no need for you to opt out. If in the future we desire to disclose your information in a way that is inconsistent with this policy, we will notify you in advance and provide you with the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.
EnnisKnupp does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Use of Cookies
The Web Site uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize EnnisKnupp pages, or register with the EnnisKnupp Web Site or services, a cookie helps EnnisKnupp to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Web Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the EnnisKnupp features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the EnnisKnupp services or Web sites you visit.
