United Grocery & More Inc (the “Company”), is committed to protecting the privacy of its Users (as defined below). This document (“Privacy Policy”) outlines what information the Company collects from its Users through the application (UnitedGrocery) and Unitedgrocery.co (the “Application”) and how that information is used.
This Privacy Policy is applicable to all users who sign up using the Application. By signing up, you have also agreed to be bound by this Privacy Policy. In addition, by using the app, you have agreed to this Privacy Policy.
By using the Application, User, as defined below, agrees to this Privacy Policy, and accepts all terms and conditions without modification. Any offer by a User to modify the terms of this Privacy Policy is expressly rejected. The Company reserves the right to revise, change, amend, alter or modify (“Update”) this Privacy Policy and its other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner without notice to User. The User, as defined below, is responsible for periodically checking for any Updates of this Privacy Policy by re-visiting the Application and using the “refresh” button on the User’s browser. Any Updates supersede any prior versions immediately upon posting on the Application. If the User does not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, or any updated terms hereto, his sole remedy is to not use the Application.
The information which the Company collects through the Application may include personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) which refers to information that helps it identify users or viewers of the Application (collectively, “Users” and each a “User”). The Personal Information includes data such as a User’s name, street address, phone number, email address, username and password, demographic information about the User such as his age and/or gender, and/or any information submitted by a User that is a business for purposes of creating or maintaining a business profile on the Application. Personal Information shall also include any other information submitted by the User to the Application including, without limitation, where the User is the owner of a business, any information he submits to the Application for purposes of verifying and/or claiming its business on the Application. In addition, the Company may collect and store information relating to the User’s geographic location, which shall also be included in “Personal Information.” Users are responsible for keeping all Personal Information current and may change any previously entered information through the Application in the manner set forth below.
The Application may also collect data that cannot be traced back to a specific individual (“Anonymous Information”). For example, the Company may be able to keep count of how many Users have viewed the Application and specific content therein, key words utilized to find the Application or key words utilized to search within the Application, but this information does not necessarily include information regarding Users’ names, street addresses, phone numbers or email addresses. Users who view Application but do not enter their Personal Information are generally anonymous Users. Only Anonymous Information will be intentionally collected by the Company from anonymous Users.
The Company may combine a User’s Anonymous Information with similar information collected from other Users to help improve the Application and the Company’s products and services. Advertisers advertising on or through the Application, if any, may have access to Anonymous Information for purposes of determining how often a User sees a particular advertisement.
A User may become a registered member of the Application (“Registered User”), in which case the User may be asked to provide certain Personal Information, including his name, zip code, address, telephone number, email address, a unique login name, password and password validation, and/or a password hint to help the User remember his password. This information is collected within the registration process, in order to allow for greater ease in the Registered User utilizing the Application and its interactive features including, without limitation, (a) posting feedback on the Application including, without limitation, compliments, tips, complaints and/or comments; to allow the Company and the Application to identify the Registered User; and to allow Company to contact the Registered User for customer service purposes, if necessary. In addition, Company requests Registered User’s email address to confirm new member registration and to enable email or other electronic communications to be made through the Application. In that regard, when a User becomes a Registered User, the Registered User is opted in to receive emails from other Users and businesses by default. The Registered User can manage and/or modify the account settings including, without limitation, changing email preferences so that the Registered User does not receive emails from other Users and/or businesses. Moreover, the Company may utilize a Registered User’s email address to send updates, newsletters, news, promotional offers, advertisements or any other information regarding the Application, the Company, (collectively, “Promotional Emails”) to the Registered User. The Company is entitled to continue to communicate with the Registered User electronically, and send emails to the Registered User with respect to updates and changes to legal documents; the Registered User’s transactions and interactions with the Company and on the Application; and otherwise relating to the operation of the Application (collectively, “Administrative Emails”). Company may utilize Registered User’s Personal Information to personalize the Registered User’s experience including, without limitation, displaying relevant customizations to the Registered User and/or verify the Registered User’s identity when it is seeking to claim a business.
In addition, the Anonymous Information that is gathered for a Registered User may also be tied to his Personal Information to see how that specific User utilizes the Application and the aggregate use and postings that he has made (his “Use History”). This combined information may be shared internally within the Company, and with parent businesses and other users with whom the User interacts on the Application. By using the Application, the User is agreeing to his Personal Information and Use History being utilized in this manner. If at any time he wishes to prospectively withdraw that consent, he may do so by notifying Company in writing of the same by providing an email to the Company at info@unitedgrocery.co. The subject line of that email should read: “Do Not Share Use History.”
By becoming a Registered User, Registered User assumes all risk, and agrees to these terms with regard to all of the information that the Registered User submits through the Application. Though Information in a Registered User’s profile may not be public, and unviewable by those who are not Registered Users. Registered User assumes all risk associated with information posted in the profile.
Further, Users may submit inquiries, feedback, comments or other content (collectively, an “Inquiry”) to the Company through the email. Users acknowledge and agree that by sending an Inquiry or otherwise posting communications to the Application, a User’s Personal Information, including his email address and any other information the User supplies, may be visible to third parties. User shall not share any information in his Inquiry that he is not prepared to be public or to otherwise share with such other third parties. Moreover, User’s Inquiry may be available for review by the Company and/or other Users’ contractors and employees. Moreover, the Company may, from time to time, use third party email servers to send and track receipt of the Inquiries, and analyse the pattern of inquiry usage via these third-party tracking systems.
If a User is making an Inquiry or posting content for someone other than himself, in which another person’s Personal Information will be accessible or otherwise made available, User hereby makes the material representation and warranty upon which he wishes the Company to reasonably rely, that he has obtained each of those other individuals’ consent to disclose their personal information to the Company and other Users.
Moreover, User acknowledges and agrees that the Company may need to otherwise provide a third party with portions of the User Information that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Application.
Registered User acknowledges and agrees that this Privacy Policy does not apply to content, business information, pictures, ideas, concepts or inventions that User posts to the Application or send to the Company relating to the Application, the Company or in anyway relating to any business models of the Company or the Application or improvements thereto (collectively, “Submitted Property”). User acknowledges and agrees that all Submitted Property becomes the property of Company immediately upon their receipt of the same, unless Company elects not to take ownership of Submitted Property. Company may then utilize, distribute or otherwise disseminate the Submitted Property as they wish in their sole discretion. As it relates to intellectual property rights relating to the same, User hereby assigns and conveys all rights he may have to such Submitted Property and ideas. If User seeks to keep such information or property private or proprietary, he should not send such information through the Application or to the Company.
If User accesses the Application, but is logged into other social networking Applications, the Application may receive information from such social networking Applications to make it easier for you to register an account with the Application and to share information among the sites. In addition, User may also link its account with the Application to other social networking Applications such as Facebook, Twitter and/or FourSquare. In this case, the Application may collect and store information relating to User linking its account with these other social networking Applications to allow User to easily share information with its friends and/or contacts on these other social networking Applications.
Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, the Company will not intentionally distribute, rent or sell a User’s Personal Information to third parties without the User’s permission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will share Users’ information, including without limitation, Personal Information amongst its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates and other related entities and related Applications. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Company may use the Personal Information to contact the User and to solicit the User for services offered by the Company. The Company may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Users’ Personal Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. If the Company receives a request from law enforcement or judicial authorities, or is otherwise required by law to reveal User’s Personal Information, then it reserves the right to provide the requested information.
Information about the Users of the Application, which include the Users’ Personal Information, may be disclosed in association with certain business dealings such as any debt financing, acquisition or merger, sale of assets and in the event of a bankruptcy, assignment for benefit of creditors or receivership in which particular information could be sold or transferred to other parties as an asset.
It is the Company’s policy to not use or share the Personal Information of Users of the Application in ways which have not been outlined or described herein without first allowing its Users a chance to opt out or otherwise disallow such unrelated uses. However, the Company may disclose Personal Information about its Users or information relating to their Use of the Application for any reason if, in its sole discretion, it determines that it is reasonable to do so, including, without limitation:
The Company undertakes reasonable efforts to operate secure data networks which are protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. The Company undertakes reasonable efforts to review its security and privacy policies on a periodic basis and it may adjust and change the systems as necessary. Notwithstanding the above, and although the Company is ever diligent in its security pursuits, it cannot guarantee the success of its efforts. Company undertakes no duty to provide notice to any Users of a security breach, unless otherwise required to do so by law. The Company hereby disclaims any and all liability for any breach of security that may or may not result in the sharing or dissemination of User’s Personal Information with third parties. Company shall not be liable for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, direct, incidental or consequential (including but not limited to lost profits or lost savings) and whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, which arises out of or in any way connected with the Company’s collection of User’s information, or the unintentional dissemination thereof.
If a User would like to modify or delete any Personal Information previously entered on the Application, he can send an email to info@unitedgrocery.co. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registered Users may be able to update their personal information by changing their online profile through the Application.
This Application should not be used by Users under the age of majority in the State from where the User is accessing this Application. The Company shall make reasonable effort to ensure that this Application contains sufficient warnings to make it obvious that its content is not intended for Users under the age of eighteen (18) and that they are not welcome to access this Application. However, there is no substitute for proper parental supervision of children's Internet usage. Accordingly, the Company recommends that Users of this Application use parental control protections, such as computer hardware, software or filtering devices which may help users limit minors’ access to harmful Materials.
The Company does not knowingly collect or use any personal information from children (minors younger than 18) through the Application. If the User is a parent and believes the Company may have inadvertently collected such information from User’s child, please notify the Company immediately by sending an email to info@unitedgrocery.co.
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
A User acting on behalf of an employer or entity, acknowledges that it is authorized to do so and that it may be sharing certain corporate information with the Application and other users. As further set forth in the Terms and Conditions, all Users also acknowledge that they have permission to utilize the Application in this capacity.
