Since 1872, we’ve had the foresight to find new ways to make lives better. We are constantly innovating our products and our practices to serve and care for the ever-changing needs of the people we touch at all stages of life.
Just as our products are essential to our consumers, our commitment to data privacy is vital to earning your trust.
This site is designed to explain our approach to data privacy in simple language. You will also find our privacy values as well as helpful links to privacy choices and more.
We are committed to earning and maintaining trust by honoring the following principles:
When you use our online services, you’re trusting us with your information. Your privacy is important to us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and retain your information. It also explains where you can go to exercise your rights and choices about how your personal information is used.
If you have any questions, we want to hear from you. You can find our contact information below.
Scope. The purpose of our Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is to describe how the websites, mobile applications, and online services owned or operated by us (collectively called the “Site” in this Policy) process your information in connection with the products and services that we offer. This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information and how we keep it safe. It also explains where you can go to exercise your rights and choices about how your personal information is used. Before you provide us with your information or otherwise use our Site, you should read through this Policy and our Terms of Use to make sure that you are comfortable with our privacy practices.
Brands. Our Site is owned, operated, and maintained by KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION and our affiliated companies and brands (“Kimberly-Clark”, “we”, “our” or “us”).
State- or Country-Specific Disclosures. This Policy includes additional state- or country-specific information (such as the specific rights regarding your personal information that may be available in your jurisdiction) within the State- or Country-Specific Disclosures section. If there is a conflict between this Policy and the State- or Country-Specific Disclosures section, the latter will control only as to the extent of the conflict. This policy does not apply to personal information of users located in the Russian Federation; the privacy policy for users in the Russian Federation is located here.
Other Policies. In addition to this Policy, there may be other specific Kimberly-Clark products, services or promotions that are governed by additional policies or terms of use. In those cases, we’ll notify you of these additional terms.
Updates to this Policy. We may update the Policy from time-to-time by posting a new notice, so please note the date last updated above and occasionally check for updates.
Personal Information. Personal information (“PI”) means any information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify a specific individual. We may collect personal information from a variety of sources. These sources include personal information that:
The types of personal information we obtain include:
Sensitive Personal Information. For the purposes of processing listed in this Policy, we (or our partners) may collect and process sensitive personal information. This may include information such as your race, ethnicity, date of birth, or data related to your use of our Site or products such as pregnancy, allergies (e.g., allergy trigger quizzes), menstruation (e.g., period calculators), or incontinence. We may also make inferences about your preferences, behaviors, characteristics, health, or attributes related to your use of our Site or products. When we collect data that may be considered “sensitive”, we (or our partners) will request your consent to process such sensitive personal information and we may provide other controls (like an opt-out of certain processing), when required by law. Please note that certain portions of the Site may require this data for us to fully provide our services, so your choice to not provide such information may limit the scope of available offerings. We respect our customers’ rights and heightened privacy interests pertaining to sensitive personal information. As such, we commit to verifying that law enforcement entities follow the laws and procedures in their jurisdictions before we respond to a request for such information. Even when compliant with the laws of the requesting agency’s jurisdiction, we may make reasonable challenges to such requests.
Purposes of Processing. We collect, process, and disclose your personal information only for specific and limited purposes. For example, we may process your personal information across all Kimberly-Clark brands to:
Legal Bases. Additionally, certain data protection laws require us to have a “legal basis” and defined purpose before processing any personal information about you. Our legal bases for which we may process your personal information may include:
We may share information about you with our brands as well as third parties in certain circumstances including in the following situations:
Individual Rights. Where we process your personal information, you may be entitled to certain rights made available through applicable data protection laws. Some of these rights are explained below.

Verifying Requests. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will, according to applicable law, take steps to verify your identity before processing certain rights requests, such as granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request. If you designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, we may require you to (a) provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and to share such authorization with us when processing a rights request, or (b) verify your own identity directly with us.
Data Retention. We keep your information as long as we need it for business, tax or legal purposes, including the legal bases described in this Policy. After that, we either delete it or fully anonymize it. Please also consult the “State- or Country-Specific Disclosures” section of this Policy.
Data Security. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, or use.
Our Site is intended for a general audience and is not aimed at or intended for children. As a general matter, we usually do not knowingly collect or process personal information from children under the age of 16, unless a lower age is provided or allowed by local law.
Where we do knowingly collect or process personal information from children under the age of 16 (or under an age stipulated by local law), we follow all applicable data protection laws. For example, in the U.S., we obtain verified parental consent as required by law when collecting personal information from children younger than 13 years of age.

As a Washington resident, the Washington State My Health My Data (MHMD) Act gives you certain choices regarding your health data, as described below. The law applies only to “consumer health data” about your past, present, or future health condition.
We collect data from a variety of sources. Because consumer health data is defined very broadly, many of the categories of data we collect could also be considered consumer health data. Examples of consumer health data we collect may include:
We collect personal data (which may include consumer health data) from three main sources:
We collect and use consumer health data as reasonably necessary to provide you with the products and/or services you have requested and to market to your interests. Providing requested products and services to you may include delivering the products, making suggestions about what products are appropriate for you, and/or personalization of certain product features. We also use consumer health data to improve our products and for other essential business operations, such as analyzing our performance, meeting legal obligations, and conducting research and development.
We may also use consumer health data to market or advertise our own products and services. We may also use your purchase history or information received from third parties to advertise other products we sell that we think may be of interest to you.
For marketing and advertising, we give you choices and/or obtain your consent as required by law. Please see the “How to Exercise Your Rights” section below and the “Your Rights and Choices” section of the Global Privacy Policy for more details on the controls and choices you may have.
We may share each of the categories of consumer health data described above with your consent or as reasonably necessary to provide our products and services.
We may also share your information with service providers who operate on our behalf to help us provide you with products and services you have requested, to make product improvements, and to market and advertise our products and services to you.
As necessary for the purposes described above, we may share consumer health data with the following categories of third parties. More detail on each category is available in “Who We Share Information With” section of the Global Privacy Policy above:
Washington’s MHMD Act provides certain rights with respect to consumer health data.

You also have the right to request that we delete our consumer health data. You can withdraw consent relating to the collection and sharing of your data too, subject to certain exceptions.
You can request to exercise such rights using the information described in the "How to Contact Us" section of the Global Privacy Policy.
