Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 22, 2023

Introduction

Thank you for using ShopHero! We are committed to providing you the best online shopping and delivery experience possible. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how that information is used, under what circumstances we share information, and the choices you can make about that information. This Policy applies whether you access the ShopHero service through a browser, a mobile application, or any other method.

"We" or ShopHero, Inc. is a privately held company registered in Delaware.

"Personal information" is information that is about you when you utilize our services on the web, mobile or a device.

Information We Collect

Types of information we collect include:

  1. Personal information that can include: Name, telephone number, email address, and IP address used.
  2. Order information: items you ordered, delivery address, special instructions and other information about your order.
  3. Payment information that can include: type of credit card, billing address and other payment information used to verify your payment.
  4. Other information we collect could include: responses from surveys, information provided by you to our customer service representatives, and information you provide to your local retail establishment.
  5. Analytics: we use third party analytics providers who may use various types of methods to collect information about you, ways you engage with our services and your purchases.

Information you provide to us or allow others to provide to us.

At various points in the ShopHero experience, you may provide us with information about yourself. For example, when you create an account with ShopHero, you provide us with personal information like your name, email address, and zip code. And if you place an order with ShopHero, we collect information including your address, phone number, birth date (for alcohol orders), credit card information, and the details of your order.

If you log into the ShopHero service through a third-party service, both we and that third-party may receive some information about you and your use of the services. For example, if you choose to log into ShopHero with your Facebook account, we may receive information about your contacts. We may also offer social sharing tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button) that let you share actions on ShopHero with other sites and vice versa. In those cases, the providers of those tools may receive information about you when you use those tools. You should check the privacy policies of these services and your settings there for more information.

If you wish to invite your friends and contacts to use the ShopHero Service, we will give you the option of either entering in their contact information manually or importing it from your address books on other services. In both cases, we will store this information for the sole purposes of allowing you to send your friends referral offers, for determining whether your friends use the ShopHero service after a referral is sent, and to remind your friends of the referral sent on your behalf. Our partners may let us collect information about use of their sites/apps or share such information with us. For example, if you use an ShopHero button or widget on another site or app, we may receive information about your use of that button or widget and the third-party site/app.

When you use the ShopHero services, either through a browser or mobile app, we automatically receive some technical information about the hardware and software that is being used. Cookies, Pixels, and Other Tracking Technologies: We, our partners, our advertisers, and third party advertising networks use various technologies to collect information, including but not limited to cookies, pixels, scripts, and device identifiers.

If you are logged into the ShopHero service, this information is stored with your account information.

What We Share

ShopHero is a platform that presents you with a set of retailer virtual storefronts from which you can select goods for picking, packing and delivery by Personal Shopper(s) to your location or, if available, for you to pick up in-store. In order to make this work, we need to share information about you and your order with the other parties who help enable the service. This includes, for example, the Personal Shopper(s) who pick and deliver your order, the payment processing partner(s) that we use to validate and charge your credit card, and the retail partner from whom you are purchasing goods. To be clear, only our payment processing partner(s) receive credit card information.

We also share information under the following principles:

With your consent or at your direction We will share your information with entities outside of ShopHero when we have your consent to do so or it is done at your direction. For example:

  • If you enter loyalty card information from a particular retailer, we share that information with the retailer you chose along with your order so that information can be added to your loyalty card account.
  • If you share a product review or recipe publicly on ShopHero, it is viewable by anyone along with your first name and last initial.
  • If you invite friends to use ShopHero through our referral program or to share a shopping cart, we will share some information with the friends you invite like your name and picture. Likewise if you choose to join someone else's cart, they will see some of your information.

For external processing or service provision

We sometimes employ third parties outside of ShopHero to process information on our behalf or to provide certain services (such as delivery services, advertising services or information to better tailor our services to you). For the purposes of this processing or provision of services, we may share your information with them under appropriate confidentiality provisions.

For legal purposes

We may share your information when we believe that the disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal process, or requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities, (b) prevent, detect, or otherwise handle fraud, security, or technical issues, and (c) protect the safety, rights, or property of any person, the public, or ShopHero.

On a non-personal or aggregate basis

We share information with retailers and advertisers on both a non-personally identifying basis (including order and delivery details but not including credit card information) and an aggregate basis.

To enable purchase of alcohol or tobacco

When you buy alcohol using ShopHero, we may be required by law to share certain information with the retailer who makes the sale. This information could include, among other things, the names and addresses of the purchaser and recipient, state ID information, the quantity, brand, price, proof, and volume of alcohol purchased, and a recipient signature.

For business purposes

We may share your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. We may also share your information between and among ShopHero, and its current and future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership.

Protection of Personal Information

We use a variety of security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect payment information during transmission. We also store payment information in a secure, encrypted environment in compliance with PCI DSS.

Our company is committed to protecting the personal information of our customers and has implemented appropriate measures to prevent data breaches. However, in the event of a data breach, we have a policy in place to promptly and effectively respond to the situation.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to third-party service providers who assist us with order fulfillment, payment processing, or customer service. These service providers are required to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information in compliance with PCI DSS.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill orders, provide customer service, and comply with legal obligations. We securely delete or destroy personal information when it is no longer needed.

Notification of Data Breach

If a data breach occurs, we will promptly notify affected customers and any applicable regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The notification will include information about the nature of the data breach, the types of personal information that were compromised, and steps that affected individuals can take to protect themselves from identity theft or other potential harm.

Investigation of Data Breach

Upon discovering a data breach, we will promptly conduct an investigation to determine the scope and cause of the breach. We will also take immediate steps to contain and remediate the breach to prevent further unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information.

Assessment of Risk

We will conduct a risk assessment to determine the potential harm to affected individuals and to assess the risk of harm based on the type of personal information that was compromised, the number of individuals affected, and other relevant factors. This risk assessment will help us determine the appropriate response to the data breach.

Mitigation of Harm

We will take appropriate steps to mitigate any harm caused by the data breach, such as offering identity theft protection services or credit monitoring to affected individuals.

Prevention of Future Data Breaches

We will review and update our security measures and data protection policies and procedures to prevent future data breaches. This may include implementing additional technical or organizational measures, providing training to employees on data protection, and reviewing and updating our third-party service provider contracts to ensure that they are also compliant with data protection laws and regulations.
