With whom does Company share my information?

We will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. These are some of the ways that your information may be disclosed:

Service Providers

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, delivering, or mailing, website development and operation, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail or email, analyzing website use, processing payments, providing investor information and processing data. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are contractually prohibited from using that information for any other reason.

Online Shopping

We may offer an online shopping service that enables you to order groceries online and have them delivered to your door. We currently use a third party online shopping service provider available at [INSERT URL TO ONLINE SHOPPING SERVICE PROVIDER] to provide you with this service (the "Online Shopping Service"). If you use this service, any information you provide is being collected by the Online Shopping Service and is subject to its privacy policy.

Digital Coupons

We offer the Digital Coupon Program through our Website and the Mobile App. When you use the Digital Coupon Program, we send your contact information, including phone number to our third party service provider, currently Inmar, Inc. who administers the program. We also send our third party service provider your coupon selections for use when you visit a store.

Data in the Aggregate

We may disclose “blinded” aggregated data and user statistics to prospective partners and other third parties. Blinded data is data that does not identify an individual person. This includes shopping and coupon preferences for customers that does not include their name or identifying information but may include geographic information or store location.

Other

We also may disclose your information in special cases. For example, when we believe that we must disclose information to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use, or may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other website users or customers and their information, or anyone else who may be harmed by such activities. Company and our service providers may disclose, access or monitor your personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services and our information security. As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions, confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of Company’s businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy policy.

How can I control my personal information?

We offer our customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of personal information. You may contact us at the email address below if you wish to view, edit, or delete your personal information from our database, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

To ensure that you will not receive recurring marketing or other information from us unless you choose to, we will provide you with simple instructions on each marketing email from Company for you to let us know that you have chosen to stop receiving such emails from us. Emails sent from Company are different than emails sent from the third party service provider who administers our Loyalty Program. If you want to opt out of both general marketing emails and Loyalty Program emails, you need to opt-out separately.

What security precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of my information?

Your Company Account Information and Company Profile is password-protected so only you have access to this personal information. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account by using your computer when you are away from it. We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology for registration the My Account pages where your personal information can be modified. You can tell that a web page is secure by looking for "https" in the URL or for the padlock symbol in the URL. We use reasonable data security measures to protect your information while in storage. We limit employee access to your personal information to those who have a need to know to assist with the Services.

Because information sent through the Internet travels from computer to computer throughout the world, when you give us information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Except as specifically stated, this site does not use security encryption measures. Information that you disclose by use of this site (as with any site that is non-secure), by posting a message or using e-mail, potentially could be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own purposes, legal or illegal. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

What else should I know about my privacy?

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose information online, that information is accessible to other customers and users. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

When you or we end your customer relationship with us, we will treat the information we have about you as if you were still our customer.

After January 1, 2020, California residents will have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). If you are a resident of the State of California, you will have the right to:

  • request what personal information we have collected about you, where it was sourced from, what it is being used for, whether it is being disclosed or sold, and to whom it is being disclosed or sold;
  • “opt out” of allowing us to sell your personal information to third parties;
  • require us to delete your personal information with some limited exceptions such as completing transactions, detecting security incidents and complying with legal obligations; and
  • receive equal service and pricing even if you exercise your privacy rights under the CCPA.

The CCPA also provides that if a company has a privacy notice that allows you to opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

We do not currently collect information from people located in California and Website and Mobile App are not for use by people located in California. We do not currently share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Therefore, we do not maintain a list of third parties with whom we share personal information for marketing purposes. If that changes, we will update our privacy notice.

Your Nevada Privacy Rights

Nevada law (SB 220), permits customers in Nevada to opt-out of the sale of certain kinds of personal information. A sale under Nevada law is the transfer of this personal information to third parties for monetary consideration so these third parties can then re-sell or license the sold information. Company does not sell your personal information to third parties as defined in Nevada law.
