Thank you for visiting ponderbrush.com, an online service managed by Ponder Bursh digital division, located in Perth, Australia. We respect and protect the privacy of our users. This privacy statement tells you how we collect and use information.
Ponder Brush last amended this Privacy Statement ("Privacy Statement") on June 9, 2018.
This Statement describes how Ponder Brush collects and uses information from our web sites' visitors, including Ink Culture Club and Aus-Asia events members. This Statement applies to the web sites we control and which are accessible via the following domains: ponderbrush.com (the "Our Site"). This Statement does not apply to any other web pages or web sites.
By using Our Site, you consent to our collection and use of information about you in accordance with this Statement. We may change this Statement by occasionally posting an updated version of it on this page. If we decide that it is appropriate, we may also post a notice of the update on Our Site's home page at http://www.ponderbrush.com. By continuing to use Our Site after we have posted any changes, you agree to the terms of the updated Statement. This Statement is part of the Terms that govern your use of Our Site, so please read the entire Terms.
The term "Personal Information" in this Privacy Statement means any information from which your identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained. We do not collect Personal Information about you when you visit this online service.
You can use this service without telling us who you are or revealing other Personal Information. If you send us a contact or feedback form you do not need to identify yourself or use your real name.
We collect two kinds of information from Our Site's visitors: anonymous information and personally identifiable information.
Anonymous Information
Our servers automatically log certain information that does not personally identify you ("Anonymous Information"). We use this Anonymous Information in aggregate form to help us manage and improve Our Site. The Anonymous Information we record includes, for example, the pages you visit on our Site, the amount of time you spend viewing those pages, the links and advertisements you click, the browser you use, the address of the web page that referred you to Our Site, and your Internet Protocol address, which tells us about your location and your connection to the Internet.
We do not link Anonymous Information with personally identifiable information. However, we reserve the right to do so, in our discretion, for safety or security reasons or to comply with the law.
Personally Identifiable Information ("Personal Information")
We also collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us through Our Site ("Personal Information"). For example, we collect Personal Information when you fill out a member registration form, sign up for a program or event, subscribe to an email newsletter, purchase something from our store, submit a request for information, complete a survey or make a donation or purchase. The types of Personal Information that we collect include:

We may also collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us about other people. We use this information only for the purpose for which you originally provide it. For example, if you submit another person's email address in order to have material from Our Site forwarded to them (also known as an "email-a-friend" feature), we do not keep the other person's email address. If you purchase and ship products to someone, we will use this information to fulfill your request but will not send marketing communications to your contacts.
