Policy on Privacy of Customer Personal Information
Updated: April 26, 2023
Clek has created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to preserving your privacy as it relates to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information on www.clekinc.ca, and in any other dealings we may have with you, for example, via email, phone, or a voluntary questionnaire.
Personal information is information that is personally identifiable about you. Personal information may include your name, age, income, date of birth, ethnic origin, credit card information, email address and mailing address, as the case may be. Visitors to this website are not requested to reveal any personal information merely by browsing. However, if you use certain features of our site such as signing up for a newsletter or purchasing a product, you may need to provide personal information to us.
Orders, Registrations and Communications
Our website has registration and order forms allowing users to give us contact information, to order products, and to subscribe to our newsletter. Personal information from these forms are used to send users information about our company and its products (provided they have indicated they would like to receive such material) and to allow us to process orders. Users may opt-out of receiving future emails by using the opt-out feature in the email message, and may change or update personal information in our records by contacting our Customer Service who can help direct the call to the appropriate department within Clek at 1.866.656.2462.
We may also collect personal information when we communicate with you by email or phone to address your order, questions, requests, or if you agree to participate in a voluntary Clek questionnaire.
Information Sharing
We may share your personal information with employees, affiliates, vendors, partners, marketing providers, and third parties (such as service providers) to fulfill our everyday business purposes. For instance, our sales and customer service providers may access your personal information in order to assist in processing your orders and requests. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store. You can learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information here.
