We reserve the right to update this Notice at any time; the revised version will be effective when posted, with the "Last Revised" date updated above.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to recognize you, remember your preferences, keep items in your cart, and understand how visitors use our site. Most browsers accept cookies by default; you can adjust your browser settings to refuse or remove cookies, though doing so may affect some site functionality.
We also allow third-party advertising and analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to place cookies on our site to measure traffic and deliver relevant ads. These providers have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: Shipping carriers (for domestic US, Canadian, and international orders), payment processors, fraud-prevention services, email platforms, and analytics providers — each receives only the information needed to perform their service and is required to keep it confidential.
- Social sharing features: If you use social sharing buttons on our site, information may be shared with the relevant third-party platform (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) under that platform's own privacy policy.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, sale, or acquisition of all or part of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- Legal requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Clark's, our customers, or others.
- With your consent: For any other purpose you specifically authorize.
6. Social Sharing Features
Our website may include social sharing tools (e.g., "Share on Instagram," "Pin It") that let you share content with your social networks. Your use of these features is governed by the privacy policies of the respective third-party platforms. We encourage you to review those policies before using these features.
7. Security
We use industry-standard security measures — including SSL/TLS encryption during checkout — to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We process payments through PCI-DSS-compliant payment processors and do not store full credit card numbers. While we take reasonable precautions, no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Marketing communications: To opt out of promotional emails, click the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email. To opt out of SMS messages, reply STOP. You will still receive transactional messages related to your orders.
