Personal Information is not accessible to anyone outside the specific function for which it is collected.

We recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of Personal Information that you provide to us. This Privacy Policy will assist you to understand what types of information we may collect, how that information may be used, and with whom the information may be shared.

This Privacy Policy explains IVAR’S practices regarding the information collected online from users of the IVAR’S website located at www.ivars.com.

In an effort to comply with the law, and our commitment to protect your Personal Information, we provide the following, which discloses our policies.

What type of information do we collect?

Personal Information is defined as any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to a Social Security Number and/or Identification Number (hereinafter “SSN/I.N”) or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. Personal Information shall include but is not limited to: name, home address, home telephone number, e-mail address, SSN/I.N., financial information and employment related information such as may be found on resumes, applications, background verification information, or in employment references.

IVAR’S takes measures to maintain the confidentiality of your SSN/I.N. to protect your SSN/I.N from unlawful disclosure, and to limit access to your SSN/I.N. IVAR’S will not make your SSN/I.N available to the general public, print your SSN/I.N on any card, require you to provide your SSN/I.N to access any products or services, transmit your SSN/I.N over the Internet unless the connection is secure or your SSN/I.N has been encrypted, or requires the transmittal of your SSN/I.N to access our Website without requiring additional authentication.

Non-Personal Information is information that is already a matter of public record or knowledge. Business contact information is considered non-Personal Information and not subjected to special protection and it can be routinely shared with anyone inside or outside of the business. Business contact information shall include but is not limited to: business name, business address, business telephone number.

We will never collect sensitive Personal Information except to comply with Affirmative Action data requirements. Sensitive Personal Information can include but is not limited to: information pertaining to gender, disabilities, and veteran status.

Children and Data Collection

IVAR’S adheres to the federal privacy protection standards as stated in the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). We care about the safety of children. We will not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to provide us any personally identifying information. Children under 13 years of age are required to obtain the express permission of a parent or guardian before submitting any Personal Information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail address, and phone number) over the Internet. If a child has provided us with personally-identifiable information without the consent of a parent or guardian, the parent or guardian of that child should contact the Privacy Officer immediately at webmail@keepclam.com. We will use reasonable efforts to promptly delete the child's information from our servers.

Collection of Personal Information by Ivar’s

General. IVAR’S collects Personal Information (that is, information such as your full name, e-mail address, mailing address or telephone number) in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect Personal Information from you, it is because you voluntarily submitted the information to us in order to participate in activities, such as sweepstakes, contests, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, in connection with content or suggestions you submit to us, chats or bulletin boards, or because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information. We may also obtain Personal Information from reputable third parties.

Cookies remember information about your activities on the site to make your visits to our website more enjoyable and valuable to you by providing a customized experience and recognizing your preferences when you visit our website.

The only Personal Information a cookie can contain is information you supply as a visitor to our website. By accepting the cookies used on our website, you agree to give us access to information about your browsing behavior while on our website. We use this information to remember your personal preferences as well as to track overall user traffic patterns. We do this to determine whether the architecture of our website meets our guest's needs and the usefulness of the content of the website to our guests. You may set the preferences in your internet browser to disable (block) or enable (accept) cookies.

Notice: Ivar’s will provide you with notice about its Personal Information collection practices
When you voluntarily provide Personal Information to IVAR’S, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses we will make of the information.

At the time you provide your Personal Information, IVAR’S will notify you of your options regarding our use of your Personal Information, including whether we may share it with outside companies (See "Choice" below). This Policy describes the types of other companies that may want to send you information about their products and services and that may want us to share your Personal Information with them, provided you have given IVAR’S your affirmative consent to do so (See "Use" below).

Sometimes we collect personally identifiable information from consumers in manual format or off-line, such as a post card or a paper Carte Clam/Yacht Club enrollment form. Providing detailed notice of this Policy in those situations often proves impractical, so in those situations, we may provide guests with a short notice that describes how to obtain from us the full text of this Policy and other relevant information.

IVAR’S websites may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. Some of those third party websites may be co-branded with an IVAR’S logo, even though we do not operate or maintain those third party websites. IVAR’S website may also carry partner messages from other companies. IVAR’S is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to our website. Neither are we responsible for the privacy practices of third party or national Internet advertising companies. Once you've left the IVAR’S website via such a link or by clicking on a message, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser website to determine how they will handle any Personal Information they collect from you.

Choice: Ivar’s will provide you with choices about the use of your Personal Information
IVAR’S will not use the Personal Information you provide to us for purposes different from the purposes we told you about when you submitted your Personal Information. Neither will we share your Personal Information with third parties who are not our business partners or otherwise not affiliated with IVAR’S, unless we obtain your affirmative consent to do so.

Use: Ivar’s use of Personal Information
IVAR’S will use your Personal Information that you provide us under this Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Policy. If IVAR’S obtains Personal Information from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of that information is governed by this Policy. If IVAR’S materially changes its use of Personal Information under its Privacy Policy, your Personal Information will continue to be governed by the Policy under which your Personal Information was collected unless you consent to the change in IVAR’S's Privacy Policy.

IVAR’S may share your Personal Information with companies that are affiliated with us (that is, that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with IVAR’S). Provided you have given us your affirmative consent to our doing so, we may also share your Personal Information with parties who advertise their products and services on our website and with our franchisees who are not affiliates of IVAR’S but would like to send you information about their products and services. For example, IVAR’S may offer a sweepstakes or contest in conjunction with a co-sponsor that may have special offers or promotions that might be of interest to IVAR’S guests. However, in those circumstances, you will have the opportunity to instruct us not to share your information with third parties when we collect Personal Information from you. Moreover, we will never share your credit card information with third parties except those third parties that IVAR’S uses to perform tasks (such as order fulfillment and payment processing) required to complete purchases you make through IVAR’S's website.

IVAR’S's team members, agents and contractors must have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your Personal Information. IVAR’S may share your Personal Information with outside contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities (i.e., sweepstakes administration, order fulfillment, statistical analyses), but they may use your Personal Information only to provide IVAR’S with a specific service and not for any other purpose.

There may be instances when IVAR’S may disclose Personal Information without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of IVAR’S, other affiliated companies or their employees, agents and contractors; to protect the safety and security of visitors to our website; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process. In addition, if IVAR’S sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, IVAR’S may transfer your Personal Information to a third party as part of that transaction.

Security: Ivar’s protects the security of Personal Information
IVAR’S uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard Personal Information in IVAR’S's possession and control against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, IVAR’S uses reasonable methods to make sure that Personal Information is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete. IVAR’S encrypts passwords and other sensitive information both in transit and when stored within IVAR’S's online databases.
