PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: Sep 1, 2022
This Privacy Policy was created to protect the rights of each visitor of Slurpalicious products regarding the privacy of personal data and any information that you, the visitor, provide to us. This privacy policy explains how, and for what purpose, we collect and process your personal information, as well as what rights you have when you give us any information about yourself. Protecting personal data is one of our priorities, so we want you to be fully aware of the information we collect and process. We want to be confident that you are aware that we do everything needed to ensure its security. We publish this privacy policy to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts with our visitors, Merchants, Drivers and clients, because cooperation with you is very important for us.
If you are a Slurpalicious User, your access to and use of our Services are subject to our Consumer Terms and Conditions which define some of the terminology used throughout this Policy. Please make sure that you have carefully read and understand the Consumer Terms and Conditions before you use our Services. By using our Services, you accept the Terms and Conditions, and accept our privacy practices described in this Policy. If you do not feel comfortable with any part of this Policy or our Terms and Conditions, you must not use or access our Services.
If you are a Slurpalicious Merchant, your access to and use of our Services are subject to the Merchant Terms of Service or other master services agreement entered between you and Slurpalicious. Slurpalicious uses a network of independent third-party contractors (“Drivers”) who provide delivery services to our Users and Merchants. Drivers should refer to this privacy policy for information on how Slurpalicious collects and uses Drivers’ Personal Information.
Our Services may change from time to time. As a result, we reserve the right to update or modify this Policy at any time and from time to time without prior notice. If we make any material changes to the way we process your Personal Information, we will notify you before such changes are effective. If you object to any changes, you must cease using our Services. We recommend you review this Policy periodically. This Policy became effective on the date indicated at the top of this page. Your continued use of our Services after any changes or revisions to this Policy indicates your agreement to the terms of the revised Policy.
1. Collection of Personal Information
When you use our Services, we may collect Personal Information about you. The types of Personal Information that we may collect about you are:
1a. Information You Provide to Us Directly
You may provide your Personal Information to us when you use our Services, including when you register with Slurpalicious, search within or place orders through our Services, contact us with inquiries, engage with our chat bot on the Site or Services, respond to surveys or otherwise access or use our Services. This information may include:
1b. Information Received From You as Part of Your Communications
When you use our Services (for example on our Site), complete electronic forms, communicate with Drivers or contact us, by online chat, email, phone or text, we may automatically collect and store certain information about you and the activity you engaged in, for example: your name and contact information; your order details; information that you voluntarily provide to us; the nature of your communication; the purpose of the interaction, and the action we took in response to your inquiry or request.
1c. Information Collected Automatically
We also may collect and store certain information about you and your device(s) automatically when you access or use our Site and Services. This information may include:
1d. Location Information
When you use the Services, we may collect and store general location information (such as IP address). We may also collect route information and delivery pick-up or drop-off information. If you permit the Services to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“Platform”) or browser, we may also collect and store the precise location of your device when the Slurpalicious app is running in the foreground or background of your device. This information may be used to help you select your delivery address, to provide more accurate deliveries of your orders, to provide recommendations to you, and to enhance your user experience and improve the services. You can choose whether to enable the location tracking feature through the settings on your device or Platform or when prompted by the Slurpalicious mobile app. If you choose to disable the location feature, the Drivers will not receive precise location information from your device, which may compromise the accuracy of deliveries in some situations, for instance, if you are located in a large area, such as a park.
1e. Information Related to the Referral Program or Gift Option
Slurpalicious allows users to send gifts using the Services and invite friends and family to sign up for our Services. Sometimes we offer a promotional value for every friend or family member who signs up and places an order through your referral link. To help you do this, we may request you to grant us access to your mobile device address book. You can then direct us to send referral emails to contacts you select in your address book. By sending a referral or gift, you consent to Slurpalicious sending your public profile image to the contacts you select to receive a referral link or gift. By choosing to invite a friend or sending a gift to a recipient, you represent that you have received the friend’s and/or recipient’s consent to provide his or her name, mailing address, email address or other information with us. Slurpalicious will use that information to send the requested gift or an email inviting him or her to visit the site and will store that information to track the success of the referral program and may send marketing emails. You can also send an SMS with a referral link to your contacts. If you use this option, you understand that Slurpalicious does not control the timing, content, or recipients of these SMS messages.
Users may not send, publish, or share any false, misleading, or deceptive communications in connection with participation in the Referral Program. Such actions may violate various applicable laws. Slurpalicious users may not send any referral emails, SMS messages, or other communications to children under the age of 13.
If you are referred to Slurpalicious through one of our referral programs, or if someone attempts to refer you, we may share your name, whether you have already signed up for Slurpalicious, whether you are a new customer, and whether you have placed a qualifying order with Slurpalicious with the person(s) who referred you.
1f. Personal Information from Publicly Available Sources and Third Parties
We may collect Personal Information about you from publicly available sources, social network providers, marketing partners, and third parties. This may include:
2. Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, session replay/screen capture, and similar technologies to collect information and personalize your experience with our Services. When we use session replay technology, we may collect on real-time basis information on how you use and navigate the Services. This may include mouse movements and how you scroll through the Services, but we do not collect keystroke data. Additional information on other technologies we may use is set forth below.
2a. Cookies
Cookies are small web files that a site or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the site’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information.
How We Use Cookies – We use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes:
How to Manage Cookies – You may disable the use of cookies by modifying your browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our Services.
2b. Web Beacons
Web beacons, also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Site to deliver or communicate with cookies, in order to track and measure the performance of our Site and Services, monitor how many web visitors we have, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on webpages (or in an email).
2c. Online Analytics and Advertising Technologies
We and our third-party vendors may use automated technologies (including cookie identifiers on our Site), along with other collected information, to tailor ads or deliver content when you are on our Services or on other devices, apps or websites.
2d. Targeted Advertising
We (or our service providers) may use the information we collect, for instance, IP addresses and unique mobile device identifiers, to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content and features and provide you with a seamless experience across devices. If you wish to opt out of such cross device tracking for purposes of interest-based advertising, you may do so through your device settings. We may also use cross-device tracking to help identify our users and serve advertising. This type of advertising is often called “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising—and when it occurs on mobile apps, “cross-app” advertising.
2e. Mobile Applications
Depending on your permissions, we may receive your Personal Information from your Internet service and mobile device providers. Users of mobile devices who do not want to receive interest-based advertising may opt-out in several ways. Each operating system, (iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You should view your device or system “Settings” to determine how you can opt out of use of your device ID for “cross-app” personalized advertising.
3. Use of Your Personal Information
We may use the information we collect about you for various purposes.
3a. To Provide You with the Services
We use your information to provide you the Services. For example, we use credit card information to complete a transaction or an address to allow the Drivers to fulfill your delivery (if you are a User), or your name and phone number to set up your business on the Services (if you are a Merchant). If the applicable information is to be provided or Service is to be performed by a third party, then we will disclose the applicable Personal Information to the third party providing the information for performing the applicable Services. Your information may be available or provided to third-party or service providers that are contractually obligated to protect your information as disclosed in this Policy. Payment information may be shared with your bank to validate your payment card.
3b. To Maintain, Improve, and Personalize the Services
We use your information for our everyday business operations such as auditing, administration of the Services, forum management, fulfillment, and analytics. Your information may also be used to improve the content and/or functionality of the Services. We may use your information to help us enhance offerings for Slurpalicious and our Merchants. We also use your information to personalize your experience. For example, we may personalize the content and features you see when visiting our Services. In addition, we may personalize advertisements, marketing communications, and recommendations to make them more tailored to your interests.
3c. To Communicate with You
We use your information to communicate with you. For example, we may send you text messages or other notifications about the status of your orders and deliveries. We may also contact you with promotional offerings or other communications that may be of interest to you. If we send you marketing emails or texts about services that may interest you, each email or text will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future email or text marketing communications.
In the event you contact us, we use certain information to respond to your questions and assist you with any issues that may arise in your use of the Services. If you send direct messages, such as chat or text messages to a driver, using the telephone number for that driver available on the Services, we may use a third-party service provider to monitor and analyze these messages. We monitor these messages for fraud prevention, to ensure appropriate charging of fees, to enforce our Terms and Conditions, and for quality and training purposes. As part of this process, Slurpalicious and its service provider will receive in real time and store data about your direct messages, such as chat or text messages, including the date and time of the text message, your phone number, and the message. If you do not agree with the monitoring of direct messages you send to Drivers, please do not send messages to Drivers.
3d. For Account and Network Security Purposes
We care about keeping you secure and safe while using our Services. Keeping you safe requires us to process your Personal Information, such as your device information, activity information and other relevant information. We use such information to combat spam, malware, malicious activity or security risks; improve and enforce our security measures; and to monitor and verify your identity so that unauthorized users do not gain access to your information.
3e. To Maintain Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Our Services are subject to certain laws and regulations which may require us to process your Personal Information. For example, we process your Personal Information to pay our taxes, to fulfill our business obligations, ensure compliance with employment and recruitment laws or as necessary to manage risk as required under applicable law.
3f. To Enforce Compliance with Our Agreements and Policies
When you access or use our Services, you are bound to our Terms and Conditions (if you are a User), the Merchant Terms of Service or other master services agreement entered into between you and our company (if you are a Merchant), and this Policy. To ensure you comply with them, we process your Personal Information by actively monitoring, investigating, preventing and mitigating any alleged or actual prohibited, illicit or illegal activities on our Services. We also process your Personal Information to: investigate, prevent or mitigate violations of our internal terms, agreements or policies; enforce our agreements with third parties and business partners.
3g. To Protect You, Others, and Our Business
We use your information to protect you, others, and our business, including, without limitation, using information for fraud prevention, for enforcement of our Terms of Service, to comply with the law, and to protect against security risks.

Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.

7. Third-Party Sites
Some of the functionality may be provided by third parties and the Services may link to other third-party websites that are not controlled by Slurpalicious. For example, we may use services like Braintree for payment processing. These third parties are not under our control and Slurpalicious is not responsible for their privacy policies or practices. If you provide any Personal Information to any third party or through any such third-party website, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and practices of that third party.
