Clarksclankers LLC, 125 E Main St, American Fork - 84003-2407, United States (US)
Clarks Clankers is the developer name under which this website is published, and the business behind it is Clarksclankers LLC, a cabinet hardware supplier and fitting guidance counter. This Privacy Policy is written to be read in full and understood without a legal dictionary. We collect very little, we keep it briefly, and we never sell it. The sections below walk through what we gather, why we gather it, how we protect it and the choices you hold. Please read the whole policy before using the site, because by visiting clarksclankers.buzz you agree to the practices described here.
Clarksclankers LLC is a cabinet hardware supplier and fitting guidance counter operating at 125 E Main St, American Fork - 84003-2407, United States (US). We stock hinges, pulls, catches, restoration supplies and related cabinet fittings, and we advise customers on how to fit them well. The developer name for this website is Clarks Clankers. Throughout this policy the words we, us and our mean Clarksclankers LLC and the counter it operates. The words you and your mean any person who visits this website, sends us a message, books a fit clinic appointment or buys hardware from us.
If you have any question about this policy or about the information we hold, you can reach us at admin@clarksclankers.buzz or by telephone at +15099068321. Our business hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 17:30 and Saturday from 9:00 to 14:00, and we are closed on Sunday.
This policy covers the website at clarksclankers.buzz and every page published under it, including the home page, the services page, the contact page and this legal page. It also covers information you give us when you call the counter, email us, visit us in person or place a trade order. It does not cover websites run by other businesses, even when we link to them or they link to us. When you leave our site, the privacy policy of the destination site applies, and we encourage you to read it.
Some parts of our service happen away from the website. A fit clinic is an in person session at our bench, and a trade order may involve a purchase order and a delivery arrangement. This policy still describes how we treat the information connected with those activities, because the same standards of care apply wherever the work happens.
We collect only what we need to answer you, fit your hardware and keep our records straight. The categories are small and they are listed here in plain terms.
We do not ask for payment card numbers through this website, we do not ask for government identification numbers, and we do not seek sensitive categories of personal information. If you choose to include extra detail in a message, that detail becomes part of the message we receive, so please share only what the conversation actually needs.
We use the information we collect for a short list of clear purposes. We use it to reply to your questions, to prepare for a fit clinic session, to match hardware to the opening you describe, to price and supply a trade order, to keep our own records in good order and to keep the website safe and working. We also use it to improve the service, which usually means noticing which questions come up often and writing clearer guidance for the counter.
We rely on a few legal bases for this processing. Where you have asked us a question or booked a session, we process your information to take steps at your request and to perform the service you asked for. Where we keep records, we process them for our legitimate interest in running an honest counter and meeting our obligations. Where the law asks for consent, we will ask for it clearly before we act. We never use your information to make automated decisions that produce a legal effect on you, and we do not profile visitors for advertising.
The contact form on this website is deliberately simple, and it is built to protect your information. When you submit the form, your browser opens your own email client and prepares a message addressed to admin@clarksclankers.buzz. The content you typed travels through your own email provider rather than sitting in a database on our website. That design means we never hold a copy of your message on the site itself, and it means you can see exactly what is being sent before it leaves your machine.
Once a message reaches our inbox, it is treated like any other business correspondence. We read it, we reply, and we may keep it in a mail folder so that the next conversation about the same drawer or the same order has context. If you would rather not use a form at all, you can email us directly or telephone the counter at +15099068321. The choice is always yours, and we do not penalise anyone for preferring one channel over another.
A fit clinic is a booked session at our bench where we help you fit a hinge, tune a catch or match a pull. To hold a slot we need a name, a way to reach you and a short description of the job. We keep that booking information only as long as it takes to run the session and to follow up on the parts used, so that a second visit is quick to arrange.
Notes taken during a clinic may record the hardware used and the settings that worked. Those notes belong to the job, not to a marketing list, and they exist so that we can give you the same answer twice. If you would like us to remove a clinic note after your session has ended, tell us and we will remove it unless we are required to keep a record for a legal reason.
Trade orders involve a little more paperwork, and that paperwork exists for good reasons. We keep the details of a trade order so that we can pull the right quantities, pack them gently, deliver them to the right place and resolve any shortfall or mismatch quickly. A billing name, a delivery address and a purchase order reference are the ordinary ingredients of that record.
We may keep trade order records for longer than a simple enquiry, because a builder often returns for a matching batch and because tax and accounting rules expect us to retain sale records for a period. We store these records securely, we limit who can read them, and we never sell them or trade them for marketing. When a record is no longer needed, we dispose of it responsibly.
This website is built to work without tracking cookies. We do not place advertising cookies, we do not run cross site tracking pixels, and we do not build a profile of your browsing for a third party. Our pages load a single stylesheet and a single script file so that the site stays fast and simple, and the script is used for navigation, scroll behaviour and the contact form rather than for surveillance.
Your browser may store small technical values for its own reasons, such as remembering a page zoom or a form field while you type. Those values live on your device and are controlled by your browser settings. If you clear your browser storage, the site will continue to work normally. We do not rely on any stored value to identify you, and you can browse every page of this website without accepting anything.
We keep measurement light. Our hosting provider may collect aggregate information such as the number of visits to a page and the general region a visit came from, which helps us notice a broken link or a slow page. This information is reported to us in a form that does not identify individual people. We do not attempt to connect an aggregate figure back to a named visitor.
If we ever add a measurement tool that collects more than aggregate data, we will update this policy before doing so and we will describe the tool and the choice it gives you. Our aim is to understand whether the site is useful, not to follow anyone around the web. A counter that knows its customers by name does not need to know their browsing history.
We share information only in narrow and predictable situations. We share it with service providers who help us run the counter, such as our email provider and our hosting provider, and only to the extent they need it to deliver their part of the service. We share it when the law requires it, for example in response to a valid legal request. We share it to protect the rights, property or safety of our business, our customers or the public where that is necessary. And we share it with your consent or at your direction.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent it, we do not trade it, and we do not hand it to advertisers. When we use a service provider, we expect that provider to protect the information and to use it only for the purpose we set. If a provider cannot meet that standard, we do not use that provider for your data.
We keep information only for as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, plus any period the law requires for records of sales and tax. A simple enquiry that does not lead to work is usually cleared once the question is answered. A clinic note is kept while it is useful for follow up work and then removed. A trade order record is kept for the accounting period our obligations demand.
When a retention period ends, we delete or anonymise the information. If deletion is not immediately possible because a record sits in a backup, we isolate it and remove it as the backup cycles. We review our retention habits periodically so that we are not holding on to information simply because it is easy to keep.
We take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the information we hold. These steps include limiting access to those who need it for their work, using reputable providers for email and hosting, keeping our devices and accounts updated, and using strong authentication where a service supports it. We also train ourselves to recognise a suspicious request so that a message pretending to be from a customer does not become a disclosure.
No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot promise absolute safety. What we can promise is that we treat your information with the same care we give a customer part, that we respond quickly if we learn of a problem, and that we will tell you when a breach affects you and the law requires notification. If you ever suspect that a message claiming to be from us is not genuine, please call the counter at +15099068321 to confirm before you reply.
You hold real choices over the information you give us. You can ask what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct something that is wrong, or ask us to delete information that we are not required to keep. You can object to a particular use, and you can ask us to restrict how we handle your information while a concern is being resolved. You can also withdraw a consent you gave earlier, which will not affect any processing that already happened.
To make a request, contact us at admin@clarksclankers.buzz or call +15099068321. We will verify the request so that we do not release information to the wrong person, and we will respond within the time the law allows. There is no charge for a reasonable request. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can raise the matter with the relevant supervisory authority in your region, and we will cooperate with a lawful review.
This website is meant for adults and for the trade, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of sixteen. We do not design pages to attract children, we do not run games or contests, and we do not ask for information from anyone who tells us they are a child. If a child has sent us information, a parent or guardian can contact us and we will remove it promptly.
If you believe that a child has provided information to us without appropriate consent, please write to admin@clarksclankers.buzz or call +15099068321. We will investigate, delete what we find and confirm the outcome with you. Protecting younger visitors matters more to us than keeping a record, and we will always err on the side of deletion when a child is involved.
Our pages may link to other websites, such as a map service, a manufacturer page or a supplier catalogue. Those websites are operated by other businesses and they follow their own privacy practices. We do not control them, we cannot promise how they treat your information, and a link from us is not an endorsement of their policy. Please read the privacy statement of any site you reach from ours.
Our own service providers are chosen with care. We use them to send email, to host the site and to keep the counter running, and they act on our instructions. Where a provider processes information on our behalf, we expect confidentiality and a commitment to use the information only for the purpose we set. We review these arrangements from time to time and change providers when a better or safer option is available.
We are based in the United States, at 125 E Main St, American Fork - 84003-2407, United States (US), and the information we hold is generally stored in the United States. If you contact us from another country, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your home region.
When we transfer information across borders, we take steps to protect it. Where a provider stores data in more than one region, we choose options that keep the data under appropriate safeguards. If you would like to know more about where your information is held, contact us and we will explain what we can, subject to the confidentiality we owe to our providers.
Visitors who live in California hold additional rights under state privacy law. These include the right to know the categories of personal information we collect and the purposes for which we use it, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to request a copy of the information we hold. California law also protects the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and we do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing for you to opt out of on that specific point.
To exercise a California right, contact us at admin@clarksclankers.buzz or call +15099068321. We will confirm your identity before acting so that we protect the information from a false request, and we will not discriminate against you for making a request. If you use an authorised agent, we may ask the agent to prove their authority. We aim to make every request simple and free of friction.
We may update this policy from time to time so that it continues to describe what we actually do. When we make a change, we will revise the effective date at the top of the page. If a change is significant, we will make that clear on the website so that regular visitors notice it. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
We encourage you to revisit this page occasionally, especially before you send information that matters to you. The policy is written to be readable, and we would rather you understand it than skim it. If a sentence is ever unclear, tell us and we will rewrite it. A privacy policy that nobody can follow is not doing its job.
For any question about this Privacy Policy or about the information we hold, please reach the counter in the way that suits you best. Write to admin@clarksclankers.buzz, telephone +15099068321, or visit us at 125 E Main St, American Fork - 84003-2407, United States (US) during business hours. Our team is small and the person who replies is often the person who fitted the hardware, which means your question reaches someone who can actually answer it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this policy. We collect little, we keep it briefly and we guard it carefully, and we would rather turn down a piece of information we do not need than hold it without a reason. That restraint is the same standard we apply to every hinge, pull and catch at the counter, and it is how Clarksclankers LLC keeps the fit true.
