If you are located outside the United States and provide information to us, please note that we may process data in the United States. Your use of the Service followed by providing such information may represent your agreement to that transfer, where permitted by law.

We take steps we consider reasonable to help ensure your data is treated securely and consistently with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8. Disclosure of Data

We may disclose Personal Data we collect or that you provide in situations including:

9. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we use commercially reasonable safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Data Protection Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), certain GDPR rights may apply.

We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to access, correct, amend, delete, or limit use of your Personal Data where applicable.

If you wish to understand what Personal Data we hold or request removal from our systems where applicable, please contact us using the methods in Contact Us.

Depending on circumstances, you may have rights including access, rectification, objection, restriction, portability, and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We may not be able to provide certain features without necessary data.

You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence within the EEA.

11. Your Data Protection Rights Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA requires certain websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy describing the information collected and how it is shared.

Consistent with CalOPPA, we aim to provide the following:

  • 0.1 Users can browse portions of our site without necessarily providing Personal Data (some features may require information)
  • 0.2 Our Privacy Policy is linked from the site footer and includes the word “Privacy”
  • 0.3 Material changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page and may be communicated as described in Changes to This Privacy Policy

Do Not Track

Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. There is not yet a uniform industry standard for how websites must respond to DNT signals. We may not respond to all DNT signals in a uniform way. You can manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings.

12. Your Data Protection Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under the CCPA regarding Personal Information. This section summarizes those rights generally; availability depends on your situation and current law.

You may submit the following categories of requests, subject to verification and lawful exceptions:

  • 0.1 What personal information we have about you. If you make this request, we may provide (to the extent required and permitted):
    • 0.0.1 The categories of personal information we have collected about you
    • 0.0.2 The categories of sources from which we collect your personal information
    • 0.0.3 The business or commercial purpose for collecting, using, or disclosing personal information
    • 0.0.4 The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information
    • 0.0.5 The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
    • 0.0.6 The categories of personal information sold (as “sale” is defined by applicable California law), and the categories of third parties to whom it was sold; or a statement that we have not sold your personal information in that sense
    • 0.0.7 The categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose and the categories of recipients

    You may be entitled to receive this information up to two times in a rolling twelve-month period. When you make the request, the information provided may be limited to the personal information collected in the previous 12 months, where applicable.

  • 0.2 Deletion. You may request that we delete personal information we collected, subject to exceptions (for example where retention is required to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, or comply with law). Deletion may be accomplished by deleting or de-identifying information where appropriate. If you request deletion, you may not be able to use certain features that require that information.
  • 0.3 Opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell your personal information for money. Some transfers may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law depending on the facts. If you submit a request to opt out of those transfers where applicable, we will honor that request as required by law.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights under the CCPA.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the methods in Contact Us. For more information about the CCPA, visit the official California Legislative Information website. The CCPA took effect on January 1, 2020, and has been amended over time (including by the CPRA).

13. Service Providers

We may use third-party companies and individuals (“Service Providers”) to facilitate the Service, perform services on our behalf, analyze usage, host infrastructure, provide marketing tools, or support security.

These parties may access Personal Data only to perform work for us and are expected to protect the information and use it only for those purposes.

14. Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze use of the Service.

15. CI/CD Tools

We may use third-party tools to automate development, testing, and deployment of the Service. Those tools may process technical metadata in connection with code and infrastructure operations.

18. Links to Other Sites

The Service may contain links to sites not operated by us (for example social platforms, maps, or our ordering partner). If you follow a third-party link, you will be subject to that third party’s policies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content or practices.

19. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 18 ("Child" or "Children").

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Children under 18. If you become aware that a Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us using the methods in Contact Us.
