Users outside the United States

We are based in the United States and access to and use of the Site is intended only for individuals located in the U.S. As a result, the information We collect is governed by applicable U.S. law, which may be different from the data protection laws applicable outside the U.S. If you are accessing the Site from outside of the U.S., please note that information collected through the Site will be transferred to, processed, and used in the U.S. Your use of the Site or providing Us with any information constitutes your consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information, including personal information, in the United States as set forth in this Privacy Policy and Our Terms of Use.

Notice to California residents

This Section applies only to consumers who are California residents, and to the Personal Information of those consumers that is collected by Key Food. For California residents, Personal Information is defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

The CCPA requires certain disclosures about the categories of Personal Information that We collect and how We use it, the categories of sources from whom We collect Personal Information, and the third parties with whom We share it. This information is explained in the “Information collected”, “Use of your information and your preferences”, “Disclosure of your information”, and “Cookies and Web Beacons” sections above.

California customers have the right to request: (1) that Key Food disclose what Personal Information about them that We collect, use, and disclose, including the specific pieces of the Personal Information about them collected by Key Food in the preceding 12 months (known as a “request to know”); and (2) that Key Food delete the Personal Information about them collected or maintained by Key Food (known as a “request to delete”).

If you are a California resident and would like to submit a request to know or a request to delete, you may submit your request in one of the following methods:

Requests will be responded to, free of charge, within 45 days of receiving the request. Consistent with California law, you may only make two such requests in a 12-month period, and the information provided will only cover the information collected in the preceding 12 months.

In order to process a request, We will need to verify your identity. We may request two or more data points of Personal Information and other proof of identification depending on the nature of the request and the Personal Information requested to verify your identity.

As a California resident, you also have the right to designate an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. We may require proof that you have designated the authorized agent to act on your behalf and to verify your identity directly with Us.

Key Food does not sell your personal information as that term is defined in the CCPA.

    Notice regarding children’s privacy

    The Site is a general audience site for adults age 18 or over, and is intended for use by individuals in the United States. The Site is not designed or intended for use by persons under the age of 18.

    In response to concerns about protecting children's privacy online, Congress enacted the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which sets forth rules and procedures governing the ways in which websites may collect, use and disclose any personal information for children under the age of 13. In accordance with COPPA regulations, We do not (1) request or knowingly collect personal information from users under 13 years of age; or (2) knowingly use or share personal information from users under 13 years of age with third parties.

    It is possible that by fraud or deception We may receive information given to Us or pertaining to children under 13. If We are notified of this, as soon as We verify the information, We will immediately delete the information from Our servers.

    Questions regarding children's privacy should be directed to us at customer.service@keyfood.com or call us at (848) 202-3100 x. 400.

    Mobile device unique identifier

    When connecting to the Site via a service provider that uniquely identifies your mobile device, Key Food may receive this identification. As noted above, Key Food may also have access to or collect your mobile phone number. We may associate that phone number to the mobile device identification information received from your service provider.

    Physical location information

    When you access the Site using a mobile device, Key Food obtains information for pinpointing technology such as GPS and cell tower information. Key Food may use and store this information, in combination with other location-based information such as IP address or billing address or postal code provided by your carrier or your account registration, to provide enhanced location based services, serve location-targeted advertising, search results, and other content.

    Data security

    The security of your personal information is very important to Us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to Us, and that We collect, both during transmission and once We receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, We cannot guarantee the absolute security of the personal information provided by you or collected by Us through use of the Site.

    Changes in this Privacy Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, if and when Our privacy practices change. When We make updates to this Privacy Policy, We will post them on the Site. If We make any significant updates, We will notify you by posting a prominent notice on the Site and indicating in the Privacy Policy itself when it was last updated.
