FOOD RUNNER INC.

CUSTOMER PRIVACY POLICY

July 20 2020

This Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices for customer information we collect, use or disclose, through our websites (including through foodrunner.ca and other Internet sites, mobile apps, and social media sites, which we will refer to collectively as “Sites”), as well as our customer service interactions with you. In this Privacy Policy, the terms “FoodRunner,” “we” and “our” refer to Food Runner Inc. and all of its subsidiaries with respect to its operations in Canada, unless otherwise indicated. Personal information and personal health information that you provide when you visit non-Canadian FoodRunner websites or services outside of Canada are governed by the privacy policies that are posted on those. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Terms and Conditions of Use for our Sites and into the terms applicable to FoodRunner members and persons applying for FoodRunners Express membership. By using our Sites, by applying for membership, or by using a membership, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy.

FoodRunner is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers. We have and will take measures that protect the privacy of personal information and personal health information held by us. This Privacy Policy provides you with details regarding:

  • why we collect personal information and personal health information;
  • what we do with that information;
  • what steps we take to ensure that the information is secure;
  • who you should contact if you have questions or concerns about our policies or practices.

Since we regularly review our policies and practices, your comments are always welcome. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time; however, any changes or additions to that Section regarding the reasons we use personal information will not apply to you unless you consent to them. We will alert you that changes have been made by indicating at the top of the Privacy Policy the date that it was last updated. This Privacy Policy was updated on July 20 2020. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy carefully to make sure that you understand how information that you provide will be used or disclosed.

Children: We encourage parents to take an active interest in their children’s use of the Internet. We do not intend to collect information from children who are under 18 years of age. If you are under 18, please do not provide information on our Sites.

What is personal information?

In general terms, personal information means any information about an identifiable individual. For example, this includes your name, postal and email address, telephone number, credit card number, demographic information and purchasing history. A special category of personal information is “personal health information,” which we describe in Section below.

Personal information does not include aggregate information, such as data about a group or category of products, services or customers, from which individual customer identities have been removed. For example, information about how you use a service may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about the products you purchase may be collected and combined with information about the products purchased by others.

We may also gather aggregate information about how Food Runner customers use our Sites. Aggregate information about product purchases helps us understand trends and customer needs, and assists us in product selection, product ordering and sizing, and the introduction of new products and services. It can also assist us in determining where it would be appropriate to build new warehouses by looking at the geographic location of members or to build new Site functions by looking at anonymized browsing activities.

We may automatically collect some information when you visit our Sites, such as your computer’s network address and operating system, the site from which you linked to us, and the time and date of your visit and purchases. This information is not linked by us to personal information, but rather is only used to compile aggregate information. This information may be collected through the use of cookies (see our “Online privacy practices” below).

What is personal health information?

Personal health information means any information relating to your physical or mental health collected or generated in the course of our providing you with the profiles for position fulfillment. Examples of personal health information may include your medical history, drug prescription information, eyeglass prescription information, or health insurance information, which we may require in order to work requirements. It may also include information you provide to Food Runner Inc. health services personnel when receiving counselling or advice.

We only collect such personal information as is strictly necessary for the purposes outlined in Section A. We collect personal information when you:

For example, if you request shipment for a purchase, we may provide your address to the shipping carrier and customs Service Provider, and if you pay by credit or debit card, your card number and sales transaction information are passed to the card processor and/or issuer (including their service providers such as fraud verification services). We also may use Service Providers to host and administer the Sites, process and store data, and fulfill other technology-related functions on our behalf. However, we only give or permit access to vendors, suppliers and other Service Providers involved in Site administration and the commerce distribution chain the limited information needed to perform their duties and provide you with the products and services you order. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these parties.

To protect the confidentiality of personal information and personal health information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of our Sites by any person using your password.

We recommend that you do not include confidential, proprietary, personal or personal health information in emails, including credit card numbers, passwords, prescriptions and other similar information. Also, if other people have access to your email account, they may be able to access your password and obtain personal information about you (such as your credit card information), or change information about your user profile. You should not use an email account operated by your employer because many employers have the legal right to access such email accounts.
